'Kids are a handful and sometimes people don't want to be pregnant': Jaw-dropping tweet based on article about justifying abortion to your kids
Blaze ^ | January 16, 2020 | Dave Urbanski

A rather eye-popping, pro-abortion tweet has been making rounds and gaining some steam — courtesy of Renee Bracey Sherman, who calls herself the "Beyoncé of Abortion Storytelling" and a "reproductive justice activist committed to the visibility and representation of people who have had abortions in media and pop culture."

Here's what she tweeted Wednesday: ***tweet image on link**

"I've talked to my 5-year-old niece about my work and abortion in an age-appropriate way. She understands that kids are a handful and sometimes people don't want to be pregnant. She gets it because it's quite simple.https://rewire.news/article/2020/01/13/having-the-abortion-talk-with-children-is-easier-than-you-think-just-ask-these-parents/ …"

As you might expect, Sherman got some pushback from anti-abortion folks — including Abby Johnson, the former Planned Parenthood clinic director who became pro-life and the subject of the recent feature film, "Unplanned":

A babysitter once told my 7 y.o. daughter that “mean people want to force women to be pregnant.”

Totally leaving out the unborn child, of course.

What does it do to the mental health of a child when a mother tells him/her that she is a murderer who killed the child’s siblings, and that there is no particular reason she didn’t kill this child also?

What a way to tell the kid that the mother is incapable of loving him/her.

One of these days scientists are gonna figure out what causes pregnancy, so you can prevent it before you have to resort to an abortion

My mother told me when I was a young teen that if she had gotten pregnant again after the three of us, she would have had an abortion.

That strikes a dreadful blow against a child’s sense of security, and for the rest of her reproductive years I feared, and felt a kind of anticipatory grief, that she would abort a brother or sister of mine. And I wondered if my father had fathered an aborted child.

The weakness and the selfishness of these mothers, not only to abort a child, but to lay the burden of that on their daughters and ask for support.

The lies, the willed denying ignorance of that nurse in the article, to claim a nine week fetus has no functioning heart or brain.

Their poor children are suffering from Stockholm syndrome.

Yeah. Tell your extant little ones that sometimes children are a problem and Mommy doesn’t want to refrain from starting them sometimes Mommy has to kill them. Great for mental balance and security. Kids really are just toys for adults and sometimes we don’t want them any more.

Of course not, because the foundation of their belief system is that it’s not a baby, just a lump.

Either you are making a pun or spell check ran roughshod over your words.

Care to explain exactly what was wrong with Tax-Chick's posting?

And people wonder why clinically depressed kids go to school and commit murder-suicide.

The lies, the willed denying ignorance of that nurse in the article, to claim a nine week fetus has no functioning heart or brain.

The fetus develops a brain between 2 and 5 weeks after conception (this is the length of time for the brain to form, not that the brain appears sometime in this timeframe). Differentiated cells--those that have taken their final form--behave according to the type of tissue or organ they form. Thus, differentiated brain cells function as brain cells, gathering information about their environment and responding to it. Our consciousness is a product of this process of information gathering and responding. These facts of fetal development mean that the baby is aware from at least 5 weeks, if not earlier.

In addition, there is the question of how much it feels. Anesthesia has a limited ability to cross biological barriers. Only a fraction of anesthetic in the blood crosses into the brain. The baby, however, has the barrier of the placenta in addition to the blood-brain barrier. This means that it is highly unlikely that any anesthetic administered to the abortion client reaches the baby in a sufficient concentration to render it unconscious. Therefore, it is fully awake and aware during the abortion process--which, as we know, is extremely brutal no matter what method is used.

The knowledge that one's own mother is willing to commit that kind of horror on her baby is a terrible burden for any child. I can certainly understand the fear that would cause. A person who can kill a baby is capable of killing anyone.

You are correct, my mistake, hence the above retraction.

I understand that the people that work under me can be a handful and I don’t want to put up with their BS. Is it OK to kill them?

Translation: Women are too stupid to figure out how to avoid pregnancy and you are not worthy of life

I’m convinced that there will never be a male birth control pill/implant because it would empower men to avoid children. #Conspiracy

If you feel that way don't get pregnant. Pretty simple. 😬
