The governor of Michigan said Thursday that abortion is “life sustaining.”
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, discussed abortion in times of the coronavirus pandemic during David Axelrod’s Axe Files podcast posted Thursday. Whitmer, who has drawn criticism for the coronavirus restrictions she’s implemented, noted that while Michigan has put a hold on performing all elective surgeries, abortions can still be performed in the state and are considered essential.
“We stopped elective surgeries here in Michigan,” she said. “Some people have tried to say that that type of a procedure is considered the same and that’s ridiculous,” she added, referring to abortion.
“A woman’s healthcare, her whole future, her ability to decide if and when she starts a family is not an election, it is a fundamental to her life,” Whitmer said. “It is life sustaining and it’s something that government should not be getting in the middle of. ”
Whitmer’s comments come after many states have temporarily banned elective medical procedures. Multiple governors have declared abortions as nonessential and temporarily banned the procedures.
Abortion advocates, led by Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights, have struck back at such bans through legal measures.
The National Abortion Right’s Action League accused President Donald Trump and Republicans of using the coronavirus to limit abortion access in a Wednesday ad. The Trump campaign responded, saying the abortion lobby’s attempts to use coronavirus to promote abortion are “disgusting.”
“President Trump is the most pro-life president in American history,” Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told the Daily Caller News Foundation Wednesday evening.
He added: “It’s disgusting, but not surprising, that the extreme abortion lobby would try to use a global health crisis to promote the killing of unborn children.”
Whitmer did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.
No it isn’t lady. Abortion is murder. And pregnancy will not kill a woman.
How is the petition to oust the governor going?
Gov. Whitmer has jumped the rails. There’s a pileup ahead.
Well if you believe their sustainable world dogma then
“some people just need killin’” in order keep Mother Earth happy. Crazy but that’s where we are. Slowly but shirley they are coming right out and saying it.
Wretched Witchmore, perfect name.
Abortion is their religion. These ghouls will reap their eternal reward.
There is one way to end abortion.
Kill every person that supports abortion.
The ads write themselves
Neither should government get in the middle of me buying paint and seeds. Heil whitmer.
F-u....bring it on.These tyrants do not care and are doing what they want..this is living this is simply being alive. I’m past the stage of concern for the virus and at the stage of being fed up with these lying marxists. This is our country, we ain’t taking your crap anymore.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is an insult to all Michiganders whose IQ is greater than 80!
Is the >50% of the population which voted her into office either dead, vote harvested or at the far left side of the Bell-Curve???
Well, this woman sure has proven how much she likes to murder people, babies or other.
JoMa
I really think she’s had her forehead stretched too tight.
Sure.
What absolute BS this is. To justify this form of murder is evil to the core.
Killing an unborn human is Life sustaining. There is no possible reasoning with a person so devoid of any morality. It must be defeated.
“.. Abortion During Coronavirus ‘Is Life Sustaining”
The epitome of a lunatic liberal oxymoron.
And I thought Jennifer Granholm was the worst.
These people are full on Nazi grade evil, we can no longer co-exist ....
Wicked old witch. May God strike her down for such hubris.
I’m all for killing monsters....., in whatever form they take.
