Planned Parenthood President Says it Was Easy to Kill Her Baby in an Abortion

Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards disclosed in Elle in October that she had had an abortion:

I had an abortion. It was the right decision for me and my husband, and it wasn’t a difficult decision. Before becoming president of Planned Parenthood eight years ago, I hadn’t really talked about it beyond family and close friends. But I’m here to say, when politicians argue and shout about abortion, they’re talking about me—and millions of other women around the country.

At the time I thought the “it wasn’t a difficult decision” line was terribly insensitive to Richards’ three surviving children. They certainly know it could have been any one of them who was snuffed, in which case so what, according to their mother?

But we know why Richards had to act blasé. There is a new campaign underway to destigmatize abortion, and to do that abortion has to be portrayed as nothing earth shattering to a woman and not necessarily done for awful reasons, like rape, or a handicapped baby. Explained post-abortive Merritt Tierce in a recent New York Times op ed:

By repeating only the gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, terrifying abortion stories, we protect a lie: that abortion isn’t normal. We have learned to think of abortion with shame and fear. We have accepted the damaging idea that a person who wants an abortion must grovel before the consciences of others…. We have to stop categorizing abortions as justified or unjustified.

Thus, Richards reiterated her abortion was no biggie in a video she made for the “1 in 3″ campaign a couple weeks ago, adding, “[t]oday, I’m telling my story”:

But Richards didn’t tell her story. She gave absolutely no details other than she and her husband were indifferent about killing their baby.

Which leaves so many unanswered questions. How can it be that the premier leader of the abortion/contraception industry got pregnant by mistake? Was she using birth control? What kind of birth control? When did she get her abortion, before or after she was married? Why? Before, after, or between which child? Did she get her abortion at a Planned Parenthood or go to a private doctor? Did she do it for her career (which would be incredibly ironic)?

And how could Richards travel the country promoting Planned Parenthood and abortion for eight whole years as president and not disclose her own abortion? Wasn’t that living one huge, stinking lie?

The mundaneness by which Richards claimed to have procured her abortion began to show itself differently in an interview she gave to Cosmopolitan, published yesterday, in which she said:

I just talked to my kids the other day, and they knew I’d had an abortion, and they were sort of like, “Mom, it was no big deal,” but I could also tell it was important to them that we talked about it.

That sentence makes no sense. If their mother’s abortion was “no big deal,” it should have not been “important” for the kids to talk about. Clipping one’s fingernails would fall under the category of “no big deal,” in which case kids wouldn’t think it important to discuss.

So what exactly was “important” for Richards and her surviving children to hash through? That they are missing a sibling? That there’s someone to mourn? That they are special to their parents, even if by the luck of the draw they could have been so unspecial as to have been killed – without a second thought?

The problem with Cecile Richards’ abortion is if it truly “wasn’t a difficult decision,” then she is showing heartlessness not just about the death of a child created with the man she loved, then killed in cooperation with him, but also toward their surviving children.

But we know Richards is lying, because it turns out she needed to somehow smooth things over with her children, I’m guessing during the Thanksgiving holiday. She needed to thread a needle of displaying callousness toward the offspring she killed but love toward the offspring she didn’t kill but easily could have – quite a feat, and good luck with that.

How can @CecileRichards show apathy toward the child she killed but love to those she didn’t?

Which makes the latest pro-abortion campaign another impossibility to pull off. If even the president of Planned Parenthood cant do it, no one can.

If Richards were to ever show compassion in any way toward her aborted baby, she would be unlocking a compartment in her consciousness that would begin to unravel everything she stands for.

The thing is, I think Richards already knows all that.

Sure it was - an unborn baby can’t really fight back now, can it?

But that subconscious knowledge that you killed the most innocent human being will never leave,

no matter how loudly you yell your justification.

If the baby had been armed it wouldn’t have been so easy.

Is this the pro-aborts’ new talking point now? It seems we’re seeing a plethora of accounts by baby killing “mothers,” abortionists and other proponents. Some statements have even gone so far as to say abortion brings one closer to God.

A very weird country this has become...

.....Before becoming president of Planned Parenthood eight years ago,

Preceding this statement this 'person' related words about the abortion it had.

Eight years before becoming the president of a billion dollar a year murder industry? Hardship? Family incidences of horrible disease? Incarceration? Just what the Hell?

I didn't read farther than this line - I honestly think it didn't warrant any further waste of time explanation.

The convenience of a legal system that allows murder of a soul that cannot protect itself?

Just damn. What and utterly horrible, vile excuse for a human being.

I’m not sure that this is the husband she had her kids with. We know her husband’s family quite well. They’re very nice people but as liberal as they come.

In related news, Jeffrey Dahmer says it was easy to murder and eat people. “It wasn’t a difficult decision. They tasted just like chicken.”

Wouldn’t it be just, well, WRONG, for any employee of Planned Parent(less)hood to be pregnant and have kids? And even more so for the “president” of that organization, who is supposed to represent them?

/just, well, crazy

...so says a modern day practitioner of child sacrifice, to the ultimate pagan “god” called “self.”
