Most people do not find anything funny about the killing of unborn babies in abortions.
But most people aren’t Lizz Winstead.
The former “Daily Show” comedian now runs her own pro-abortion group, Lady Parts Justice League. Her group is traveling across the country this summer on its “Vagical Mystery Tour” comedy show to promote abortions and encourage people to become abortion activists.
Winstead recently spoke to City Pages in Minnesota about the reason for the tour.
The tour includes comedians and musicians who joke about abortions, discuss the issue and urge the audience to support their local abortion facilities. Winstead said this tour, their second, also is encouraging people to get out and vote in the mid-term elections.
At every stop, she said they also do a volunteer project for a local abortion facility and urge their audience to do the same.
“We’ll do anything they’re too overwhelmed and busy to do,” Winstead said. “Whatever skills that [audience members] have, whatever they know how to do, they can be helpful in making the lives of these providers better.”
According to the report:
Winstead noticed that there are plenty of groups that address patient advocacy and reproductive rights at the policy level, but there isn’t much in the way of support for abortion providers and clinic workers. She decided to travel around the country doing comedy shows followed by talk back sessions with providers and activists to let audience members know what laws to be on the lookout for in their state and how they can help out local clinics. Audiences are often shocked to hear what’s going on legislatively in their hometowns, but this doesn’t surprise Winstead at all.
“There’s an assault on reproductive access,” she says. “It’s profound and intense and it’s never covered in the media.”
Quite the opposite, the mainstream media is very friendly toward the abortion industry, often parroting its talking points and accepting its claims without question.
Winstead did not see it that way.
“When one in four women will have an abortion in her reproductive lifetime, that is part of healthcare for people,” she said. “I refuse to be part of a silencing operation that tries to stigmatize people. They’re hard conversations to have, but they need to be had.”
She did not explain why abortion is a difficult issue to talk about, though. If an abortion is just a women’s healthcare procedure, as she claims to believe, it is difficult to understand why it is so controversial.
Pro-lifers know the reason, and Winstead may, too, even though she will not admit it. After more than 40 years of legalized abortion on demand in America, the issue still sharply divides the public because people realize that abortion kills a human life.
By supporting the abortion industry, Winstead and her group are making the lives of millions of human beings worse. Every year, the abortion industry in America destroys the lives of nearly 1 million unborn babies and injures many of their mothers in the process.
Well, I’m sure my “male mind” looks at it quite differently than the female mind...
‘They must be destroyed!!!’
how do you propose to do that...?
Male minds and female minds may be different, but not so different that we are different species. The issue is one of an ordinary decent mind, a humane mind, an honorable mind, just being a mensch.
I’m speaking of the dignity of the adults in the equation.
I could care less what communists do. Let Christians go forth and multiply, and if these dogs want to take part in a state sanctioned genocide of their children, it’s on them.
And as for their babies, they are not Communists at all. The are just simply and blamelessly human. And they are endowed by their Creator with "inalienable rights" --- a concept familiar to you, if you are an American.
But your comment tells me more about you, than about them.
It’s a God send that the likes of Chelsea Clinton, Barbara Streisand, and Kathy Griffin haven’t reproduced (by whatever means necessary)
I have to wonder whom decides who is a comedian.
So you're an abortionist after all.
Any anti-American dog who chooses to reduce the number of enemies my children & grandchildren will face in the future has my blessing.
No baby is an enemy o yours, or your children or grandchildren; none deserves your malice. What miniscule, makeshift, murderous morality.
Abortion is the only “health procedure” in which a patient always dies.
All of the above are unfit mothers and America benefits every day they choose/chose to remain childless.
Chelsea Clinton and Barbra Streisand have children. Kathy Griffin does not.
No doubt there are some people who legitimately choose, or ought to choose, to be childless. But you made it clear that they should be childless "by any means necessary," which --- you have also made this clear -- includes abortion.
Abortion advocacy often gets removed by the Admin Moderators, since this is a pro-life site. Stop justifying abortion.
Just stop.
Stop with your veiled threats. Decent, God faring people don’t have abortions, period. Rat socialists do. There is nothing you, or anyone else can do about it since it’s settled law. Welcome to the decline of America, and I pray to God their side diminishes before ours does.
Nothing I can do about abortion? Because it's "settled law"?
I don't know how old you are, but it's a fair bet I was opposing abortion out in front of the so-called "clinics" before you were born.
Tens of thousands of babies have been saved from abortion since the beginning of Pregnancy Care Centers, also known as Crisis Pregnancy Centers, which were founded in this country (under the name of "Birthright")in 1968, a good five years before Roe vs Wade.
Of course we can do something. The fact that we can't abolish this evil totally and quickly, does not excuse us from enlisting in the long fight and doing what we can.
Let God faring Christians and Jews be faithful to our Lord and celebrate life while letting the enemies of America destroy themselves.
But Our Lord said He did not come for the righteous, but sinners.
That’s broad enough to include the both of us.
Power thing. Men got to jail for it. Women get federal funding for it.
Agree to many adults have lost or never had dignity most are in follow the mob and won’t think for them self aka trained.
