Dawn Laguens is the executive vice president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and she is quite clear when it comes to one thing: She would do most anything to ensure that the so-called right to abortion remains intact.
In an opinion piece for Glamour, Laguens opines on the possibility of Roe v. Wade being overturned, now that President Donald Trump has nominated federal Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. She insists that this right to abortion is deeply personal not just to all women, but to her.
In 1983, as a freshman at [Louisiana State University], I became pregnant. I didnt want to be. Like so many people who find themselves in the same predicament, I was near broke and only beginning to figure out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. But I knew, without a doubt, that I was not ready to be a mother. I borrowed money and had an abortion at the health center in town, she writes.
Laguens goes on to say that if abortion had been illegal in Louisiana, she would have gone out of her way to get the procedure in another state.
Throughout the article, Laguens celebrates the freedom that that her abortion gave her. Today, she is the mother to triplet girls, and she thinks of them when she fights to keep Roe v. Wade intact through her work at Planned Parenthood.
Even though Laguens states time and time again that Roe v. Wade is a constitutional right, the law itself is severely flawed in its writing. Many legal scholars who are pro-abortion have said there is no constitutional basis in the right to abortion.
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately
Laurence H. Tribe, a Harvard law professor, once said, One of the most curious things about Roe is that, behind its own verbal smokescreen, the substantive judgment on which it rests is nowhere to be found.
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion business in America, aborting approximately 320,000 unborn babies every year. Its most recent annual report showed a record income of $1.46 billion, with about half a billion dollars coming from taxpayers. At the federal level, President Donald Trump and his administration also have been cutting off various streams of funding to abortion groups.
However, Laguens says she thinks of the 1 in 5 women who come to Planned Parenthood, and how we have changed their lives by helping them to own their own bodies through access to birth control, education, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, and abortion.
Its a widely-quoted statistic that abortions only account for 3 percent of the services that Planned Parenthood performs. However, research shows that is not the case. The Radiance Foundation found in Planned Parenthoods 2014 annual report that they performed nearly 32.8 percent of all abortions in the United States in 2013.
Laguens, and those who work alongside her at Planned Parenthood, may believe that their fight to protect abortion may be a valiant effort. However, celebrating the merciless killings and brutality of abortion is anything but valiant.
Laguens may think she is doing her daughters a service by advocating for abortion, but as she does that she denies countless other children and possibly her own grandchildren their inherent right to life.
Make sure no storks fly near you!
Dawn Laguens says, “Well, Excuuuuuse Meeee! I forgot that you can get pregnant by having sex ...”
This woman is sick. She is in the black V neck. Her life partner is behind her Jennifer Treat and their 3 triplet. So she must have gotten a turkey blaster. But how she has 3 kids.....man weirder then the Jenner family.
.....and as a modern day woman I had no control of myself!..../sarc
If she didn’t want a baby, use birth control.
The actual number of female voters who have had abortions is far lower. Most women who have abortions kill more than once. Or, put another way, 60% of abortion clients are repeat customers.
I guarantee you this slut has had at least a half dozen or more abortions, she’s only admitting to one.
U.S. abortion statistics show over and over again that women who abort do so multiple times. It’s not a “painful decision” for them, they lie about that.
Note the passive tense: I became pregnant. As if she had nothing to do with it
Uh-Oh. . . .Living on the wrong side of Jesus. Woe to her. These people don’t get it. God owns the universe, all of His creation and everyone’s next breath. She will also be accountable for influencing others.
Urgh...those triplets have a killer for a Mom & no Dad.
Too bad she had to kill a baby to discover she was a lesbian
I saw that in 1993-——fascinating painting.
,
And at the same time destroys the idea that people are born homosexual. She tried guys and they weren’t for her. We live in a very disturbed society. Killed an innocent for her convenience. How can a nation possibly survive with this kind of thinking?
Or taken the necessary precautions
to keep from getting pregnant.
Prophylactics in 1983 cost fifty cents.
She paid a lot more than that for an
abortion. Not to mention an innocent
life lost. The lack of responsibility
and a few moments of promiscuity are
never considered in their arguments.
DUH!.....I jumped off a cliff. I didn’t want to..../sarc
