House Dem speaks about her own abortion: Government has 'no right in my uterus'
FOX ^ | May 21, 2019 | Sam Dorman | Fox News

Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., has defended women having the right to choose and attacked government officials trying to force decisions on women, detailing her own experience with having an abortion in the process.

"The government has no right in my uterus, has no right in my vagina, and it’s time for us to be very clear and straightforward about that," she told CNN's Alisyn Camerota.

Speier's appearance came after she tweeted about her own abortion on Thursday. "It was the best choice for my health & my family. While it was an immensely hard decision, I don't regret it," she said.

Speier, speaking to Camerota, described her abortion as "a painful process" and said that the fetus wouldn't have survived outside of the womb.

“It was a second-trimester abortion, the fetus had dropped through the cervix and into the vagina,” she said. She expressed frustration over the allegedly cavalier way that her male colleagues discussed the issue, suggesting that women had abortions "without any thought."

Can she rent it out as a prostitute?

Can she sell a kidney?

If not why not?

Unless it’s in the form of government paying her for it.

Is she required to register for the draft?

Do men still have to?

Does the government “own” their bodies then along with the contents inside?

:: The government has no right in my uterus ::

But, since I am now PART of the government, I claim the right to be in everyone else’s uterus.

All your uterus belong to us!

Why would anyone have anything to do with women who would kill their offspring? And why would any female have anything to do with a man who approves of women who kill their babies?

You have no right to Murder a baby, - and then have the gall to insist that I pay for you doing this hideous deed.

Government has 'no right in my uterus'

It's not just your uterus, stupid cow. Rip it out as far as I'm concerned. Makes no difference to me. But we're talking about another person's life, too. Kill him (or her) and we're coming after you with the full force of the law. You have no right to kill someone. How stupid do you have to be to think you do?

Some dipwad tried arguing in my local paper that aborting a baby is like an acorn vs an oak tree. These people are nuts.

I remember Reagan once said that isnt it ironic that those who love abortion have already been born
