Hollywood actresses always seem to make an appearance whenever there's a chance that one less baby might be aborted.
Celebrity feminists Elizabeth Banks and Busy Philipps joined Democratic lawmakers and pro-abortion demonstrators at the foot of the Supreme Court on March 4 to stand in solidarity with baby-killing as a recent legal case involving the procedure was being heard.
The demonstration, led by pro-choice non-profit the Center for Reproductive Rights, happened while the nation’s highest court was hearing “oral arguments in June Medical Services v. Russo,” which news site Mashable described as “a case that will determine the fate of abortion access in Louisiana and has the potential to undermine abortion rights across the United States.”
In a bid to stop a Louisiana law “that would ostensibly shutter all but one abortion clinic” in the state, the non-profit’s lawyers argued their case before the Supreme Court and had their public relations mouthpieces like Banks and Philipps whipping up the crowds outside.The Hollywood actresses were joined by pro-choice Dems such as Congresswomen Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) along with even Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
Philipps, an actress from Freaks and Geeks, activist and rabid pro-abort, addressed the supporters outside the Supreme Court. Not only did she speak about the importance of all women’s choice, she also mentioned how important it was for her to get her own abortion.
“What matters is that we are loud and heard. I will not be shamed into being quiet. We will not be shamed into being quiet again. I will never stop talking about my abortions,” she told the crowd.
Philipps revealed an abortion from her past during an episode of her E! talk show Busy Lately last spring. She felt compelled to defend abortion in the wake of Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signing the state’s “heartbeat bill,” telling viewers, “I had an abortion when I was fifteen years old, and I’m telling you this because I’m genuinely really scared for women and girls all over this country.”
Banks, the director of recent feminist flop Charlie's Angels and Chair of the Center for Reproductive Rights’ Creative Council, told the crowd that abortions are fundamental to freedom. She claimed, “Today we are taking the opportunity to present reproductive freedom, including abortion, for exactly what it is: no less than liberty itself.”
Banks’s speech also included anecdotes about blue collar folks and people of faith having abortions, as if that was supposed to change conservatives’ minds: “Rural people have abortions. People of faith have abortions. Anti-choice people have abortions.” Yeah, those folks are what we would call hypocrites.
In another viral moment from the abortion rally, Sen. Schumer threatened conservative Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh should they vote against pro-choice cases. Schumer addressed them at the podium, saying “I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked Schumer's comments, saying, "Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous."
Sounds like these folks are getting pretty desperate.
What evil, vile, ghouls.
Abortion is govt sanctioned homicide. And the Left has been advancing the process of abortion to far outside the womb.
For future reference, Gabriel. It’s one fewer baby. One less baby is something else entirely.
Isn’t that a big part of the world’s problems : no shame
Roe v Wade is one of the biggest frauds ever forced on the nation and the left darn well knows it.
Elizabeth Banks is a smart beautiful woman. Saw her on a USO Christmas tour three years ago. Too bad she is taking this path. She must still be stinging from the disaster that was Charlie's Angels.
I was worried about you :)
I was hoping maybe you were on a really fun vacation.
Busy Philipps is a disturbing, self-loathing individual. Her influence is destructive to young girls who watch her.
She must have meant libertinism.
Tell me about it. I really don’t understand this obsession they have with killing babies. Plus their hypocrisy is astounding. They shriek and yell about “kids in cages” at the border, but killing them is OK.
Obviously abstinence and birth control are not her answer. She wants to spread the much over-rated influence of her bare pu$$y far and wide as a freedom protected by the Bill of Rights?
Where does it say that?
I swear, with my hand on an Bible (The Good News/s) that if there was a lineup and was told to pick these two women out of the lineup, I would fail miserably. Which is probably a compliment to my understanding of modern “culture”.
“Abortion Is ‘Liberty Itself’: Elizabeth Banks...”
It absolutely is. That makes it one of only three people that can pronounce a death sentence...A judge in a trial, a thug with a gun, and the mother of an unborn child. And the only one that can lawfully commit murder and walk away from it.

These two killers are why men didn’t let women vote. The first thing they did was to ban booze and legalize abortion.
“and walk away from it”
Some of them can’t walk away from it...they are haunted for the rest of their lives.
Many have the same issues that anyone has with surgery for years afterwards,too.
Liberals can be pro-abortion and against Capital Punishment with real consistencey because it is personal for them. They have been born and grown up so they cannot be Aborted. They do not believe in Law or Constitution so they fear they could some day be on that gurney or on that scaffold.
You cannot use your LIBERTY as an excuse to oppress another... and there is no greater oppression than to deny another innocent person of their inalienable and fundamental right to life.
Those that use “liberty” to justify abortion are bastardizing the very concept of liberty and are disingenuous to their core.
This is the greatest failing of the Libertarian party... until they admit the truth about this, they are not Libertarians.
I don’t know this Busy person except for a makeup commercial I have seen. She resembles an old girlfriend and seemed pleasant enough, but boy she must be repulsive in real life.
Now, we know Schumer is repulsive. What is he suggesting: impeachment, blackmail,or another Supreme Court Justice dying under mysterious circumstances?
