As America reels from another mass shooting in Florida, one abortion activist used the tragedy to claim that fewer mass shootings would happen if more babies were aborted.
Journalist Becky Griffins tweets about abortion and the mass shooting went viral Thursday.
Woman puts baby up for adoption, he grows up to be a violent young man who will spend the rest of his life in prison for a mass murder. Tell me more about how abortions are wrong, she wrote Thursday.
The tweet is a reference to alleged mass murderer Nikolas Cruzs background as an adopted child. According to the AP, he was living with friends after both of his adoptive parents died. Neighbors said his mother, Lynda Cruz, died Nov. 1, and Cruz had mental health problems.
Cruz allegedly killed 17 people and injured 13 others Wednesday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the report states.
Griffin quickly received backlash for her tweets about adoption and abortion. Responding to her critics, Griffin directed trolls to an old article claiming that abortions reduce crime. Experts have refuted this claim, made popular in the book Freakonomics, numerous times.
While Griffin later clarified that she does not oppose adoption and did not mean to insult any adoptees, she continued to assert that some children should be aborted.
People on both sides of the abortion debate quickly criticized Griffin for using the slaughter of 17 innocent lives to push abortion.
Among them was popular conservative commentator Ben Shapiro.
Abortion activist and writer Robyn Marty also criticized the tweet.
The solution to ending such horrific, massive violence as the Parkland shooting is troublingly uncertain. Politicians and average Americans will continue debating solutions for years.
But one thing is clear. Violence against children in the womb cannot be the answer to violence against children outside the womb. We have no way of knowing if a child in the womb will be a revolutionary like Steve Jobs or a violent criminal. What we do know is every human life has value, and every child, born and unborn, deserves to live and grow free from violence.
When I was Cruz’s age, there were two places for young men like him that did not involve incarceration. Unity States Army and United States Marine Corps. There were plenty of people he could shoot except he would have to travel halfway around the globe. But that would be paid for and he would have been given an assault rifle for free and all the ammo he could unreasonably use. Plus free room and board, meals and clothing. And a really large family that would not let you down. Lots of problems would be solved with a national draft.
my sentiments
So... THOUSANDS of children murdered and it’s good...
17 dead, murderer caught and it’s the end of the world.
Hmmm
Another dazed and confused Leftist woman.
Churches like Rev Wrights.
jus sayin’
This from a Jew. You’d think she’d be more sensitive to mass extermination of innocent people.
Hitler was adopted. Need I say more?
(with all apologies for the graphic reality)
Let me get this straight...
The answer to school shootings is to boldly insert cold hard sharp metallic objects into a woman’s vagina up into her uterus and dismember the life growing there.
Pull the dismembered body back out through the vaginal canal into an uncaring metallic bowl to be flushed or sold?
So much for the fairer sex.
I’m at a loss of words.
Abortion on demand has desensitized people to killing and has devalued life.
Hitler wasn’t adopted.
Journalism logic is one of many oxymorons.
Becky Griffin is a remarkably stupid woman.
Not stupid. Evil.
I’m in favor. Abort that little icehole down in Florida.
The idiot meant to say: “If More Babies had been Aborted, the Florida School Shooting Wouldnt have Happened”.
No, it is not true.
True: If every liberal were to be thrown into a soundproof cell, the world would be a much better place.
She looks like someone who says “totally” “like” and “awesome” a lot and ends each statement with a question.
“Like if more babies were like totally aborted and stuff, like school shootings would like totally not happen which would like be totally awesome?”
I looked her up, she’s a model. OK, that’s all we need to know.
Imagine being on a date with that jackass.
Hard to believe anyone could be that stupid. Exception, a politician.
50,000,000 kids killed by acid, stabbing, scaping, etc still is not enough. The ghouls want more dead kids.
