Abortion Activists Will Hold Nationwide Protests Today Calling for Free Abortions Up to Birth [5-21]
LIFE NEWS ^ | May 21, 2019 | Micaiah Bilger

Abortion activists plan to gather across the nation today to protest state laws that protect unborn babies from abortion.

The protests are a response to Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Missouri and other states that are trying to protect unborn babies by banning or restricting abortions after an unborn baby’s heartbeat is detectable.

They also are drawing attention away from other states like New York and Vermont, which recently passed radical abortion laws legalizing the killing of unborn babies for basically any reason up to birth.

Behind the “Stop the Bans” protests are some of the most powerful, well-funded abortion groups in the country: Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union, NARAL and the Women’s March, The Hill reports. They are demanding unrestricted abortions up to birth and taxpayer funded abortions.

“Across the country, we are seeing a new wave of extreme bans on abortion, stripping away reproductive freedom and representing an all-out assault on abortion access,” the groups said in a statement.

“This is Trump’s anti-choice movement… and it’s terrifying, particularly for women of color and low-income women who are most affected by these bans,” they continued.

Altogether, about 50 abortion advocacy groups are participating in the protests, WSAV News reports. Abortion activists are encouraged to meet at noon today outside statehouses and courthouses across the country. There are protests in every state, including in Nashville, Detroit, Jackson, Memphis and Savannah.

“We will show up to speak out and fight back against this unconstitutional attempt to gut Roe and punish women,” the groups said, News 5 Cleveland reports. None of the pro-life laws or bills punish women for having abortions.

“Politicians shouldn’t be making decisions best left to women, their families, and their doctors,” they continued – though these same groups are fighting to overturn laws so that nurses and midwives also may do abortions.

The National Right to Life Committee said these abortion activists are the true extremists. A new Hill-HarrisX survey found that a majority of Americans support heartbeat laws, such as the ones passed in Ohio and Georgia, and Gallup polls consistently show that Americans think most abortions should be illegal.

“We bet you are frustrated. You are frustrated with the extreme pro-abortion agenda that seems to be taking over our country,” NRLC wrote on Twitter.

While abortion activists likely will succeed in blocking all of the pro-life laws in court, the pro-abortion laws in New York and Vermont are in effect – allowing unborn babies to be aborted for basically any reason up to birth.

Pro-life advocates hope for an eventual victory at the U.S. Supreme Court, but, for now, Roe v. Wade stands, preventing states from passing even moderate protections for babies in the womb.

I wouldn’t want to see a puppy hurt. :)

Maybe one of the PP activists will abort themselves.

You know, for Global Warming. Or something. /Liberal Logic

Anyone who opposes Abortion is an enemy targeted by the "father of lies" ... destruction follows....

A Catholic church outside of Philadelphia was vandalized over the weekend with a spray-painted

message,.. “You do not have the right to decide how others lives"... signed Pro-choice.

They are working their way up to their historically established/documented goal of 3 year olds being aborted.

The Left are Sick, Satanic Freaks! The Moronic "moderate" Democrats keep falling for the normalization of EVIL!

How sick in the head and obsessed with murder do you have to be to become an ‘abortion activist’?

I remember that tract; Jack Chick had the best.

But you are right; as surely as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the same people who justify abortion will bow down to the antichrist when he shows up.

Yes, and they’ll be happy to kill for him, too. (essentially)

Happy about turning in people without the Mark of the Beast, they will be.

Jack pretty much nailed it; as usual.

I like the way he had the guy’s hat come off, showing his clear forehead with the receding hairline.

An excellent illustration that the man did NOT have the Mark of the Beast.

What is so desperately evil with these liberal abortion laws is ill-informed people will think that if something is "legal" it can't be wrong. It's why those behind the activism fight tooth and nail to prevent the truth from getting out. They deny it is an actual baby who is killed or they hide behind the insipid argument that "viability" determines whether or not it is one.

Downtown Tampa this evening had no more than a dozen protesters yelling, "What do we want?!" "Choice!" "When do we want it?" "Always!".

Disgraceful!

Not if you enslave doctors and nurses and appropriate surgical equipment. I’m joking, but leftards tend to carry out the most over-the-top jokes in real life, so don’t be surprised.
