Cecile Richards: Men Should Shut Up About Abortion, “I’m So Sick of Them Telling Us What to Do”
lifenews.com ^ | April 11, 2016 | Steven Ertelt

Sexism and abortion go hand in hand. While Planned Parenthood regularly aborts little boy and girls, it preaches women’s rights and complains about a phony war on women that pro-life advocate are supposedly waging because they bother to care about human life before and after birth.

Last week, Cecile Richards, the president and CEO of the nation’s biggest abortion business, said she finds her hope elsewhere: in women who brag about killing their babies in abortions. Now, the abortion company director is complaining about men who want to protect women and unborn children from the horrors and dangers of abortions.

In a new interview, Cecile Richards responded to moves from pro-life advocates to ban abortions and restore legal protection for unborn children and support for those bans from elected officials who happen to be men.

“I take them very seriously,” Richards said of the threats to make abortion illegal again. “But honestly I’m just so sick of men telling us what to do with our bodies, and I would include Donald Trump in that category.“

Keep up with the latest pro-life news and information on Twitter.

So what about pro-life women like Carly Fiorina who oppose abortion? Do they have a right to speak up according to Planned Parenthood’s free speech police chief? Apparently not. From the report:

Richards criticized Trump, Cruz, and former candidate Carly Fiorina for employing “heightened rhetoric” around abortion to win points on the campaign trail. “The people of America don’t like when politicians put their own personal politics ahead of the health and lives of women,” she said.

Richards is hoping for a Supreme Court with a majority of women (so long as they’re not pro-life women).

“I was so proud to be there with three women on the Supreme Court. I don’t know if you all can appreciate what it has meant to finally begin to have some equity on the court and actually have the court begin to look more like America. We need to do more of that, and I can’t wait until we have a ninth judge,” she said. “Wouldn’t it be great if we had a female majority on the Supreme Court?” she added, to applause.

Heaven forbid that a pro-life man replace Justice Antonin Scalia. There’s no room for them in Richards’ sexist version of America where only people with certain body parts matter.

Hey Cecile, does this include the nine men that ruled on Roe v. Wade? Asking for a friend.

I’m sick of women not allowing men a seat at the table in this discussion under the rubric of it being their choice alone since it is their body (it never was just their body since they made a choice to procreate).

They want it both ways - they want to ignore the fact that they intentionally created life to absolve themselves of the fact that they commit murder and have left half of the equation out of the decision making process.

Men have a right to speak up when someone is about to murder their child.

Any child.

*sigh*
One of these days scientists are going to figure out what causes pregnancy so that you can prevent it before you have to murder your child

She has a point, almost. Less than half of the babies murdered in abortion are male. If we’re going by identity politics, women have a greater stake in protecting innocent unborn babies than men do. When are the rest of the women women going to step forward to protect these children from murder?

... I’m just so sick of men ...

Quit murdering babies, ya demonic freak, and you won't have to hear us objecting to the murder of babies. She's a demented as she is ugly.

“I’m So Sick of Them Telling Us What to Do”

It is a standard impossible for either sex to meet. Must and must not will always be part of the conversation.

Get back to me when you’re ready to talk about court-ordered and enforced child support, and all your “choices”.
So you want the choice to a) screw around, kill the baby, and spike the carcass, or b) screw around, have the baby (with no input from the baby daddy), go to court, and saddle dad with child support payments for the next 18+ years.

And you want the men to sit down, shut up, and have no say whatsoever in your “choice”.


Yeah, I wonder how far a guy fighting child support with would get with: “She made a choice to have sex. Not my problem.”

Another point of view vis-a-vis women being “get back in the kitchen and rattle them pots and pans.” With half of our society off “finding themselves” no wonder we are collapsing in all areas, politics, economics, academia, religion, science etc.

She may run in 2018 against Senator Cruz. If Wendy Davis defers to her; who knows what Texans will do by then.


It’s going to be a rough 2018 for Cruz. 750,000 Texans voted Trump. Like his NY Values nonsense, Cruz will regret the day spitting in Trumpers faces on the KKK stuff, Chicago, Brussels, etc.

This is exactly why I tell men to keep their pants zipped up! If you don’t want that woman to be the mother of your child, DON’T have sex with her!! Not even a “one night stand” it only takes one time for her to get pregnant.

I thought that “gender” was just an artificial social construct these progressive days. Can’t men speak about abortion “from their feminine side?”
