Congresswoman Cori Bush’s abortion story is full of contradictions.
Earlier this month, the Missouri politician told her story to Congress to advocate for abortion on demand. But the heartbreaking details she shared about her experience betrayed her goal. She admitted to experiencing racism within the abortion industry and acknowledged that aborting her unborn baby led to “the darkest period of my life.”
In a new interview with Vogue, Bush insisted that her abortion was about “mov[ing] on with my life,” and she slammed state lawmakers’ efforts to protect unborn babies through heartbeat laws and other legislation as “ludicrous.”
“The narrative kind of went in a certain way after I spoke out, and some people took it as me saying that because I was a victim of sexual assault, I needed to have an abortion,” she told Vogue. “But that’s not what I was saying. That’s part of the story, but the question really was, how did having that abortion access help me move on with my life?”
Yet, Bush herself admitted that aborting her unborn baby did the opposite. In a previous interview with Vanity Fair, she said her abortion left her numb “for quite a while. That was the beginning of a very, very dark period … That was the darkest period of my life.”
She also told Vogue that the abortion industry – which she and other Democrats want to give hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to – treated her badly because she was a black woman, failed to give her basic information about her options and basically pressured her into aborting her unborn child.
Asked if she believed her race impacted the way she was treated when she sought an abortion, Bush replied, “Absolutely.” This confirms what pro-life advocates have been saying for decades about racism in the abortion industry.
She continued:
I was treated differently on purpose, and it was very blatant. … I went into the room for “counseling,” and then I absolutely knew what they thought about me. I felt belittled, and there was nothing they could point to in terms of “This is why we’re judging you in this way.” There was no background information I had to fill out to say how much money I made, or what my background was, or who my parents were. They were singling me out and treating me this way because I was Black. I was seen as a statistic who had done something wrong; – like, my life won’t get better, I’m going to be back here in a few months. I internalized that, and I didn’t know how to push back against it because I was so vulnerable at that time. I felt like they were the good people, and I was bad.
She told Vanity Fair that the abortion counselor “was almost angry. The way she was speaking to me, it was very belittling and degrading. I didn’t know why she was directing all of that onto me. I felt like I wasn’t given an opportunity to make a decision.”
Bush said she wanted the counselor to tell her that she had options, that she could be a mother. Instead, the abortion worker pressured her to have an abortion, so she did. The congresswoman admitted that she suffered for a long time afterward.
Speaking with Vogue, Bush said she felt nervous about sharing her story publicly because people might make “the story about something that it wasn’t.”
She wants her story to be about supporting abortion on demand, supposedly because women need abortions to thrive. But the truth is clear in the details: The abortion industry hurts women and kills babies, and women do not need to sacrifice their own children in abortions to succeed.
You can show them the truth all day long but they will never really comprehend it since they are shallow people of low character. Thank you for posting the truth.
Who got this beast knocked up in the first place?
Yup. She is a ghoul.
Denial can be a coping mechanism.
This is the modern day ‘Ba’al’ party.
Sacrificing life&freedoms so they can get on with their lives.
A Democrat politician who will kill anyone who gets in the way.
“.....I felt like I wasn’t given an opportunity to make a decision.”
Sooo.... she’s admitting that she didn’t have enough sense to determine the outcomes of her decision. Last person needed to represent anyone politically.
Every single conservative and Republican should have hammered home that Sanger was a black genocider and Planned Parenthood is her child and that they should all be torn down the same as monuments to the Klan or ProSlavery figures.
That meme actually is not understood by feminists and their daughters. They supposedly think of the baby as a mass of tissue or a fetus that may be “terminated.”
But the same woman after being told her wanted and “planned” pregnancy has begun will immediately say “I want to eat and drink the best for prenatal care” “someone is standing in the doorway smoking, get security to remove them” and “I feel the new life within me and look forward to the day we welcome our baby.” She does not imagine that is her own body-—he or she is a baby.
For the same zygote with total dna required for all stages of human life from pre-born through old age. A baby.
This narcissist is careful to hit all her victimhood points, all while defending access to the offenders’ services. In classic leftist psychology, the abortionists scorn her as a likely repeat customer (which they covet), simply because she’s black - as they know far too many black women use abortion as birth control. Of course, this is lost on Bush, as it’s really all about her and no one else. Sick system.
WOW! That one smacks you right in the face.
Ok, I should read the stories before commenting; just went by the title.
Yeah, I really like that meme. It gets right down to it.
There is only one person in the world who instinctively will protect a baby from all harm and nurture and love it — the mother.
What would make a mother do this?
Well good for you cori the killer…so did Brian Laundrie and millions of other murderers…
Narc rat…easy
