For your daily laugh that NPR calls their evening newscast All Things Considered, on Saturday night they celebrated the new pro-abortion movie Call Jane with actress Elizabeth Banks. Over eight and a half minutes, NPR host Michel Martin had no difficult or challenging questions, just facilitations.
Martin asked "How did this project come about and what attracted you to it?" And: "Do you have somebody in mind that you hope will see this film? And what are you hoping people will take away from it?"
But the starkest answer came when Martin asked about making the movie just before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade: "I just wonder, did that inform the atmosphere in any way in making this film, the fact that this was actually, you know, it started out being history, and then it became news?"
BANKS: ...with Dobbs, it's created more chaos in this space. It's created more desperate women. And it's created more danger. And I think that was the reminder for me. This pre-Roe, you know, illicit back-alley abortion situation was simply dangerous for women and put women's lives at risk.
And abortion is sort of our society's insurance policy that, for all the sex that we all have that is not intended to make babies -- and I don't know about you, but most of the sex I've had in my life was not intended to make babies. And the idea that we are going to force birth and forced pregnancy on people, it's unconscionable to me and feels so un-American. So I just feel like that was the reminder in the movie. It's like you're putting women's lives at risk with these abortion bans.
Banks added "If you want fewer abortions, you should give us sex education and contraception." As if our public schools don't offer sex education? As if contraception is hard to find?
The actress wanted to underline again that "abortion health care" isn't dangerous, completely overlooking the human that is murdered. Banks thought casual sex can be followed by casual abortion: "it was just making sure that we presented abortion in its reality, which is 10 minutes later, you're, you know, she was eating spaghetti." No guilt, just pasta.
In 2019, NPR belatedly noticed the pro-life movie Unplanned -- about Planned Parenthood clinic operator Abby Johnson converting to the pro-life cause -- and how pro-lifers complained Twitter was curtailing its promotion. NPR sought to underline it wasn't nice to Planned Parenthood, and insuring Planned Parenthood got a rebuttal. The stars of the movie was not interviewed.
NPR is funded in part by you, the taxpayer. You could call or write your Member of Congress to ask why we need to pay for this propaganda.
That’s what the left is really fighting for, consequenceless sex.
Well then...if that’s the case std’s are the premium.
In her case, eggplant would be a lot cheaper...
I’ll be damned... An honest liberal!! far cry from a woman’s right to choose.
I now respect this Banks. She told the truth about how abortion is an integral part of the Sexual Revolution.
These people who are promoting this kind of degeneracy are not the norm. They’re nothing but antagonists and utter filth that needs to be stamped out. And the system needs to stop paying and rewarding women for children they don’t want.
Is it inconsequential sex or is it freedom from responsibility?
Because the reality of the situation that is trying to be avoided is that sudden and abrupt choice... who wants to think about that?
I wonder sometimes if heaven is full of babies.
I wonder how Banks would react to the proposal that men have an equal right to walk away from an unwanted pregnancy, by abolishing child-support laws.
If Democrats really believe in abortion, they should call for a constitutional convention and introduce it as an amendment. Same with gay marriage. The fact they won’t says it all.
Exactly! Women love it (well,some do) because they can get drunk,do the nasty,and experience no consequences. Men love it (well,some do) because they know it increases their chances of getting “lucky” on a given night.
“If you want fewer abortions, you should give us sex education and contraception.”
Showbiz people are just so darned smart. /s/
EXACTLY! Banks just extrapolated the whole end game. This is NOT about “a woman’s right to choose” this is a woman wanting a legal way to not have any negative consequences caused by her sexual decisions!
Just like how when southerners say, “The Civil War was about States’ Rights” and then northerners say, “Yep, the right to own slaves” (although that was but ONE of the States’ Rights many states mentioned). The facts are, if you break out the whole picture, yes that was one of the reasons...not just “rights” but rights to WHAT?!?
In the case of abortion, it is the right to commit MURDER on an innocent, unborn child, often caused by bad sexual decisions!!
She never hard of condoms?
I presume The Pill and IUDs are still the Top Two?
From memory, I believe both are at least 95% effective?
In other words, the number of abortions would go down 95%.
I am not a sexually active woman, but the choice between reliable contraception and abortion seems pretty simple to me.
Finally someone has the balls to say it. At some level I respect this,not hiding behind the fake spectres ectopic pregnancies and rape. On the other hand its not that hard to not get pregnant.
So, lady, you are saying that females are SLUTS today? Not my daughter’s and my son’s know to respect females and not to have sex unless they know each other. Old fashioned? Maybe, but Mrs Deplorable and I didn’t raise sluts and crappy boys...
Btt!!
I've seen some studies about reasons for abortions. One big reason, especially for late term abortion, is the relationship fell apart.
Women often decide to get pregnant to try to cement a relationship. If the guy decides "no" and walks away, then she needs to get rid of the baby to improve her chances of getting another guy.
