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.
This imbecile says the quiet part out loud. Lol.
wonder sometimes if heaven is full of babies
/\
More than a couple of times I’ve had to comfort a crying crushed freind who could not stop the abortion of their child
with the assurance that since their child died before the age of accountability
that their child was now in heaven
with our Heavenly Father ,
in paradise.
.
How about all you over-sexed loose women just go get spayed? It is much less expensive than an abortion, and has to be done just once. No THAT is saving the economy.
I now respect this Banks. She told the truth
Thinking it was an acceptable accident, not an intentional statement, means her Big Reveal was not from being honest, but a rationalization of how the ends justifies the means. She deserves no respect.
This imbecile says the quiet part out loud. Lol.
And deserves a Banner with her name on it.
There are these things called condoms that have been around for awhile.
Plus, there is the day after pill.
So, in case you are not on a contraceptive, and you get drunk and make a bad decision you can still end the pregnancy.
Why do sexually active women not use contraception?
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.

So, I work in healthcare. The excuses these young women make for not staying on birth control — it made me feel worse, sick, more depressed ....wah, wah, wah ....or, the most common excuse — I just couldn’t remember to take the pill, use the condom, etc. I don’t want an IUD ..it’s gonna hurt, etc.
You mix irresponsible moronic young immoral idiots with hormonal urges and it’s what you get — you could offer birth control in large candy bowls and they’d still misuse it or “forget” to take it, especially in their cannabis/alcohol/drugs induced hazes.
Getting pregnant is what young guys and gals do for a living.
The deeper problems are immorality, lack of responsibility, and the hook-up/free love culture.

Proverbs 30:20 NKJV
This is the way of an adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth,
And says, “I have done no wickedness.”
They should try sodomy, it is very popular.
Nope.
The other way around. Sexual decisions have many out comes, most which are negative. They result in disease, physical injury, mental injury and emotional injury. These are all negative results that abortion has no impact on.
There are only two positive outcomes of sex. One is that you will form a deeper emotional attachment to someone that will result in their being the main focus of your life. The other is you will bring new life into the world. Babies are hope for the future.
By removing babies from sex you have removed hope. Because there is no hope there is a less chance of attachment.
Abortion is not about removing negative consequences. It is about removing positive consequences.
Exactly — or better yet, what would be her thought on men deciding that the woman is inconvenient and just killing her just to get rid of the inconvenience. After all if women can kill inconvenient babies why can’t men kill inconvenient women?
