Abortion Activists Cheer Biden-Harris Inauguration: ‘Sexual Health Champions’

If the applause of abortion activists is any indication, the new Biden administration will focus its efforts on abortion access – and expanding it.

Even before the inauguration of the new President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, abortion activists and groups celebrated the incoming administration. From NARAL Pro-Choice America to Planned Parenthood, abortion supporters are welcoming Biden and Harris to the White House as “sexual and reproductive health champions.” They made their comments both on social media and to the media.

As president of the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, Alexis McGill Johnson has hinted that she will have influence in the new administration.

“We have a ton of work to do to undo the harm over the last four years, but knowing we have champions there who understand what needs to happen in the first 100 days is tremendously exciting,” she told NBC News for a piece published on January 18.

And, she added to Elle on December 31, her organization “is committed to partnering with the Biden-Harris administration to ensure sexual and reproductive health doesn’t take a backseat.”

In particular, she is hoping to make headway on abortion, she told TIME in a piece published on December 30.

“We have been working for quite some time with our coalition partners in sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice to come up with what we call the Reproductive Blueprint First Priorities,” she revealed. “And key among them are on day one, an Executive Order that will demonstrate the Administration’s commitment to sexual and reproductive health care.”

She later added, “We need to engage with our congressional champions, as well as the administration and think about how do we go beyond Roe to fulfill the promise to safe, legal abortion for all.”

McGill Johnson wasn’t alone in assuming that the new administration would back abortion.

“Tomorrow is just the beginning in the fight for true reproductive freedom,” NARAL predicted the day before the inauguration.

NARAL was responding to a tweet by Catholics for Choice, which similarly declared, “Tomorrow we will begin re-building our nation and breaking down the oppressive barriers caused by Trump-era policies” in a tweet on January 19.

At the same time, the group failed to add that the phrase “Catholics for Choice” or “pro-choice Catholics” is somewhat of an oxymoron. The Catholic Church takes abortion so seriously that obtaining an abortion – and helping someone else obtain an abortion – are grounds for automatic excommunication. This is one of the reasons why Catholic leadership has expressed concern about Biden, a self-described Catholic, supporting abortion policy.

NARAL continued with a slew of tweets on the eve of the inauguration.

“We can’t wait for our new president to end the Global Gag Rule, restore funding to #TitleX, make birth control more accessible again, and finally end the racist, discriminatory Hyde Amendment,” it added, referring to policies that would, among other things, force taxpayers to fund abortion.

“Who else is counting down the hours?” the group wanted to know.

Planned Parenthood Action, the political arm of Planned Parenthood, cheered the day before the inauguration: “Joe Biden is headed to D.C.! Bringing a new energy. With restored accountability, justice, and compassion.”

McGill Johnson also chimed in on social media.

The day before the inauguration, she celebrated, “Sexual and reproductive health champions Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are headed to the White House — where they belong! Who's ready to get to work?!”

Yeah, because there is simply no way to prevent an unwanted baby. No way possible. You just wake up one morning and you’re pg having no idea how it happened.

Given that having abortion increases the risk of future pregnancy loss and premature birth, I fail to see how promoting abortion is a matter of “sexual health.” It’s more like sexual antihealth.

I have observed that women who have abortions are not only prone to problem pregnancies and infertility, they also have emotional issues. One problem seems to be that they have attachment issues with any children that they allow to live. Either they cannot bond with the children, or they develop an unhealthy clingy attachment (e.g. helicopter mothers). Many post-abortive women never have another child after the one they aborted, either because of physical damage to their reproductive organs or because of emotional issues.

Case in point: Billie Jean King, the tennis star, was one of the first to avail herself of abortion when it was legalized. At the time, she stated that it didn’t feel like she was killing a human being (in other words, she was completely aware that she had killed a baby). Following that abortion, she left her husband and is now a proclaimed lesbian. It really doesn’t appear at all that having an abortion improved her mental health one iota.

Yep, the dismembered fetuses are real healthy lying in a bucket i. Pieces.

How in hell does murdering an innocent life co tribute to sexual health? 99.999% of the women who murder their child were NOT going to die if they didn’t t murder their unborn child.

Yet another blatant lie peddled as the new truth. If women can’t murder their unborn chi,dren then they will be unhealthy. What crap!

Don’t be silly. What better way for a woman to show her emotional health than to kill her unborn children?

Their ‘precious’ sacrament of innocent baby blood sacrifices is their unholy grail. The only ‘Heaven’ they will experience is here on the topside of this corrupted planet.

A genuine sexual health champion would be advocating monogamy, birth control, and personal responsibility.

Young women are dying from cancer from STDs. Abortion certainly doesn’t protect you from that.

Additionally Democrats cover up and shield abortionists who botch abortions. So much for safety.

Killing babies. Killing jobs. Killing morality. Importing third world invaders. It’s almost as if they hate America.
