Hands Off Our Uteruses! WNBA’s Full-page Ad In NYT Blasts Pro-life Texas Law
mrcNewsbusters ^ | October 18, 2021 | Jay Maxson

Partnering with Planned Parenthood, Athletes for Impact and Seeding Sovereignty, the Women’s NBA players’ union bought a full-page ad in Sunday’s New York Times blasting the Texas abortion ban and claiming “family planning is freedom.” The irony that abortion denies freedom to the unborn is totally overlooked by this far Left, radical sports league. The other irony, of course, is that anybody who would see an ad in the Times already agrees with the pro-aborts.

The Texas law bans all abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected. It was challenged in court, but the courts have thus far upheld the law.

The inflammatory NYT ad reads, in part, that the law is a “cruel” and “oppressive” ban that “dehumanizes” us. “As professional athletes, our bodies are our instruments. Our livelihoods. Our craft.” “Reproductive rights are human rights. Family planning is freedom.”

This isn’t just their fight, the basketball activists say. It’s everyone’s fight against the politicians who need to keep their hands off “our reproductive rights.” Which are actually de-productive rights for the unborn.

Since the disastrous Roe v. Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973, more than 62 million preborn children have been killed in abortions. Like the NBA, the WNBA is largely made up of black players, and the Center for Urban Renewal and Education declared abortion in the black community “devastating” and one that has “ravaged black culture.”

Layshia Clarendon, a guard for the Minnesota Lynx and the WNBA’s first openly transgender and non-binary player, tweeted the ad and some of her own provocative comments.

WNBA ad

"You come for one of us, you come for all of us," Clarendon says, and “this directly affects a lot of people in our league as a women’s league and a league of people with uteruses.”

People with uteruses...

The letter in the ad is signed by several WNBPA member and the pro-abortion organizations mentioned above.

In the under-statement of the month, Clarendon also said: “We’ve gotten positioned as a social justice league full of black women who are leading the way.”

As a matter of fact, it often seems like this woker-than-woke league is much more concerned about left-wing politics and social justice than hoops. This league is so unpopular that the only time it gets much national attention is when it engages in the kind of radical activism that took place Sunday. This time it required the purchase of a full-page ad in The New York Times to get noticed.

Years ago I noticed that people who go nude in public tended to be those you would never ever want to see nude.

Should be countered with an add that shows a baby that says something to the effect of “Dont kill the babies”.

That’s what they said years ago about “stay out of our bedrooms” Now we not only have gays openly announcing they are BUT I have to pretend they are the sex to which they state they are. This is how it starts.

Actually it is good now, according to libs men can get pregnant so maybe they can impregnate themselves and we no longer need women to have babies. Fewer abortions. I keep asking to see a video of a man giving birth. I want to see which hole the baby comes out of, but when I ask the libs discontinue the discussion.

What does the NYT have to do with Texas? Shouldn’t they be aiming their advertising at the Dallas Morning News, Houston Post, or San Antonio Express News?

So don’t get unwantedly preggers.

Pretty straightforward unless one is for suppressing the birthrate of certain segments of the populous.

The ad should say: “stay off of our dildos.” These chicks are a bunch of Dykes.
