Lightfoot: $500,000 in Funding for Abortions for Non-Chicagoans Is ‘a Down Payment’
Breitbart ^ | 05/09/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 05/09/2022 1:57:10 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports,” Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) said that the $500,000 the city is allocating for people seeking abortions in Chicago from neighboring states “is simply a down payment” and “a start, and not an ending.”

Lightfoot said, “$500,000 is simply a down payment to help our frontline providers get over this immediate hurdle. But they tell us they’ve already seen an exponential increase in the amount of calls to helplines from out of state, just from what’s happened in Texas. And over the last week, there’s a lot of panic and fear, because too many women believe that Roe has already been overturned and that their right to access to reproductive care has already been extinguished. And if you look around Chicago, we’ve got a number of states that have the so-called trigger laws that would ban abortion upon the reversal of Roe. So, we’ve seen a substantial increase already, and we’re expecting, frankly, an explosion of new cases from women in Wisconsin, Missouri, potentially Michigan, Indiana. I think the list is long, and Chicago is going to be an oasis in the midwest and we’ve got to be ready. So, this is a start, and not an ending.”

At least Clinton professed “Safe, Legal, and Rare”.

How fast can the country sink?

Planned Parenthood was founded not simply as an organization for limiting the size of families in general but more particularly to reduce the reproduction of the black population in the United States, as Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger herself noted.

Black people elect black politicians who fight to the death to implement the genocidal, Nazi (literally) policies of Planned Parenthood, all while chanting "black lives matter."

If black lives matter they sure don't matter to Democrat black politicians who openly celebrate black-on-black violence and black doctors aborting black fetuses mostly from black mothers.

You can't make this stuff up.

FATHER GOD,

Save the life of the unborn. Do whatever needs to be done to stop the carnage in the womb. Vengeance is Yours, LORD.

Deal with Mayor Lightfoot as You see fit. Free us Illinoisians from the evil that has gripped this state.

In JESUS’ Name we pray. AMEN.

That’s what I was thinking - violence running rampant through the city. Let’s see, should we increase funding for law enforcement and public safety? Nope. Let’s set aside Chicago funds to help non-Chicago people come in and take advantage of services available here. Oh, by the way, killing babies in the process. If I paid taxes in Chicago I’d be p*ssed. Those dumb {censored} will probably just keep electing the same kind of POSes... Hey ‘rats, if you ever wonder why the rest of us hold you in such utter contempt, it is because you keep doing/supporting stupid stuff like this. This? This is why the rest of the world is laughing at you. Not with you. At you.

Damn it! Based on a quick glance of the title, I was hoping we we’re referring to Gordon (Lightfoot). And, if I knew how to post a YouTube link on this board, we’d all be listening to “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” right about now. My concern level for anything “Groot” has to say about anything was eradicated quite some time ago.
