One of the greatest tragedies of our time is how the world has convinced so many women that they need to abort their own children to succeed.
In a column at Newsweek Friday, California abortion activist Nik Zaleski fed into this deception when she described her own abortion in March just as the coronavirus fears began to grow.
Zaleski, a cultural organizer working to promote abortions, claimed her abortion was “essential.” She said her “internal compass … was immediately certain of my decision.”
So, on March 16, the day when California leaders announced their first shelter-in-place order, Zaleski tamped down her fears about being outside during a growing pandemic and walked into her local Planned Parenthood.
Even though she lives in “progressive” California, she felt afraid that the order may get in the way of her plans to abort her unborn baby.
She wrote:
When it was my turn, I told the receptionist I had just heard the news about sheltering in place. “Am I allowed to be here?” I asked. “Of course,” she assured me. I closed my eyes, took a breath, and silently thanked God and everyone who ever fought for abortion care before me—then I thanked her.
So while the world was dramatically changing outside, my plan stayed the same. I met with my provider, took the first pill, Mifepristone, to stop the pregnancy from developing, thanked her for her work and went home.
Zaleski said she felt privileged that she was able to get an abortion. She said women in other states may have been prevented from getting abortions because of temporary bans on non-essential medical procedures.
“For me, COVID-19 has provided yet another opportunity to count my privileges …” she reflected. “I have a safe and warm home where I can ‘shelter in place’; the same home I terminated my pregnancy in. If I contracted COVID-19, I would receive the medical services I need. In the clinic, I was able to get the medical service I needed—an abortion.”
She claimed women need abortions during a pandemic, and they do not change their minds because abortions are more difficult to get.
“We know what is right for our bodies, our families, and our futures,” Zaleski concluded.
Tragically, the billion-dollar abortion industry has convinced too many women that “what’s best” is killing their own unborn babies. Zaleski did not just stop her pregnancy from developing when she took those abortion drugs; she ended the life of a unique, living human being – her own child. Most abortion facilities do not tell women that. They do not tell women that many look back on their abortions years later with regret. They do not tell women that there are better choices: parenting and adoption, or that both she and her unborn baby are valuable.
During a health crisis especially, society should reflect on the value of every human life and the correct solutions to any tragedy. Those solutions never should involve destroying some human beings for the betterment of others. Abortions are not necessary or good, in times of calm or trauma. Every human life deserves to be valued and protected, no matter what the circumstances.
A global pandemic, real or imagined, certainly won’t stop a Democrat from killing a baby.
These stories are sick, and depressing. But they must be told as long as abortion is legal. Thanks for posting.
Question ZaleskiIdiot: How come your “internal compass” prevented you from doing the responsible thing such as having protective sex to prevent having a possible pregnancy?
“Internal compass” my arse, more like lack of self-responsibility. You are probably in with the same mofos who want all of us to stay in lockdown to save lives, yet, have unprotected sex so you can later assert “internal compass” idiocies to cover for your legalized murder of an unborn life. GG.
I’m shocked. would have thought during covid 19 they would have sense but they don’t.
Yet another skank with a kill-hole
We know that is a lie. No pro-abortion feminist is ever silent on the politics of killing the innocent. As for thanking God, my impression from Matthew 2 was that killing the innocent happens, but it is not something God holds up as cause for celebration.
One of the greatest tragedies of our time is stupid women.
They protest how a women should be in control of things because old white men are the cause of the worlds problems yet they are easily led to believe that their personal irresponsibility is a womens health issue and that the new life they carry will get in the way of their success in life. How ridiculously stupid
Her karma is going to run over her dogma.
If she’s a “feminist”, what’s she doing getting pregnant anyway? Don’t they hate men?
Men are scum to them. They are to her. To them men are instruments for pleasure and nothing more. Unless it's to use them to provide and protect more pleasure.
I'm reminded of the Dune novels, and the Honored Matres. A faction of women who come out of nowhere to conquer the original realm of humanity. Their number one weapon is sex: they can produce orgasms in males that are so intense, the male becomes a willing slave to the Honored Matre who seduced him. To them men are lowly scum to be used and thrown away if need be. But there is a price the Matres pay. They have become so intoxicated with their sexual power that they become increasingly jaded to real pleasure. True intimacy is impossible for them. They are fond of wiping out entire planetary populations and not thinking twice about it.
Maybe Herbert was making a commentary about modern feminism. "Feminists" like this female (I refuse to call her a real woman) have become seared in conscience because of their pursuit of sexuality. They are practically enslaved to their own orgasms. Oh yes, they hate men. But they are not above using them.
I’m sure she was thinking more about advancing her agenda than any pleasure she was getting.
I agree bro. I doubt killing babies is something that God celebrates. It is no different than offering them to Baal. In a thunderstorm, I would suggest doing a HEALTHY dose of social distancing, in case of a lightning strike. 😁
The Bible makes it very clear that Hell will not be empty. That said, there is forgiveness available to her.
She may not be ugly on the surface but her soul is as black as night. That smug look and “I’m smarter than you” smirk tells it all.
Uglier inside.
States were banning non-essential medical procedures as early as March 16th? I think suspended services were still voluntary back then
She has been an advocate for abortion for at least three years now. Doesn’t she understand how birth control works? How did she have an unplanned pregnancy? Is she even telling the truth?
