Pro-Life Democrat Presidential Candidate Releases Gruesome Ad Showing Babies Killed in Abortions
Life News ^ | November 30, 2023 | Nicole Silverio

A pro-life Democratic presidential candidate is set to air a highly gruesome anit-abortion ad in New Hampshire. The 30-second TV spot, obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller, contains disturbing images of late-term aborted babies.

Terrisa Bukovinac, who founded the activist group Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), announced her bid to challenge President Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination in September.

The five aborted babies who appear in the ad were discovered in the home of PAAU activism director Lauren Handy on March 30, 2022. Handy was convicted in August of blockading an abortion clinic in 2020 and is currently in prison as she awaits sentencing.

“I’m a secular progressive activist,” Bukovinac says in the ad. “Last year, I recovered the remains of these five babies from an all-term abortion center in Washington, D.C. These are the faces of a genocide supported by Joe Biden and my own Democratic Party. We can provide for the working class and resist this extremism. I am challenging you to never vote for a pro-choice Democrat again.”

Federal telecommunications law specifies that television stations “have no power of censorship over the material” that appears in campaign ads.

WARNING The following ad shows gruesome images of aborted babies.

“My goal with this ad is to disrupt the consciences of the American people, particularly leftists who are complicit in abortion by supporting pro-abortion candidates,” Bukovinac told the Caller. “I have held the victims of my party’s abortion extremism in my own hands and I will use every nonviolent tool in my toolbox to get justice for these children by exposing the brutality of their murders.”

“Voters in New Hampshire have another option this election, and those who claim to be anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, and champions of the working class must oppose legal child killing at the ballot box. Pro-life Democrats exist and we aren’t going anywhere,” Bukovinac added. According to Gallup, around 15% of Democrats identify as pro-life.

Bukovinac and Handy claim to have obtained 115 aborted babies, including the five late-term infants, from a Curtis Bay Medical Waste Services truck driver outside Washington Surgi-Clinic in 2022, according to Live Action and Insider. Curtis Bay asserts that disposing of aborted human remains is against company policy and has disputed the activists’ claims, despite the company’s logo appearing on the box of fetuses in video released by PAAU.

Police took the five late-term fetuses — who activists named Harriet, Phoenix, Angel, Holly and Christopher X — to investigate whether the Washington Surgi-Clinic violated both the federal Partial Birth Abortion Act and the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act. The other aborted babies, which were no longer in Handy’s apartment when police arrived, were given a Catholic funeral and buried in a private cemetery, according to the Catholic News Agency.

Bukovinac announced her presidential candidacy outside of the Washington Surgi-Clinic.

“Pretending like millions of pro-life Democrats like myself don’t exist isn’t a strategy. The right to life must be protected at every age, everywhere,” she told the Caller. “And that is why I am running for president of the United States.”

Mike Johnson, the so-called Pro-Lifer, killed a pro-life bill in Louisiana.

FYI, I have met Terrisa. This is the same woman that FReepers ridiculed for being overweight during the Dobbs Decision celebrations.

Terrisa became a strong pro-life advocate after she lost her religion, of all things. She came to the conclusion that since (to her) there is no after-life, that there won't be any "after-life justice", so she better work much harder to make sure justice happens now.

(I don't agree with her atheism, but I point this out to show how there are many paths to the pro-life cause.)

I’ve been doing this for a long time now and the Pro Life industry is made up of strange bedfellows.

Yes we have Secular Pro Life, a lot of which are atheists.

I think a lot of these “atheists” have nothing against God but were just hurt by ignorant people in organized religion but in the end it’s God that gets the blame.

They exist but it’s more of a once in a blue moon thing.

Plus they are not welcomed.

New York Dem, AG Letitia James, Spied on Pro-Life Activists
Used tax dollars on hidden cams, undercover cops to assist abortion clinic
freebeacon ^ | August 31, 2021 | Patrick Hauf
Posted on 8/31/2021, 11:05:05 PM by MarvinStinson

New York attorney general Letitia James’s office deployed hidden cameras and undercover operatives against a pro-life Brooklyn pastor and his flock, but the year-long legal campaign hit a snag Thursday when a federal appeals court unanimously affirmed the protesters’ right to gather.James and her two Democratic predecessors have pursued various harassment charges against Rev. Kenneth Griepp and worshippers of his Brooklyn church since 2017, going so far as to pay for and install hidden security cameras at a local abortion clinic. The impressive array of taxpayer-funded surveillance equipment, however, did not impress jurists at the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The court unanimously affirmed a district court decision to dismiss James’s bid for a preliminary injunction against the protesters because she “failed to establish a likelihood of success on the merits as to most claims.”

I couldn’t get the photos of the beheadded babies killed by the savage Hamas on October 7th, 2023. However this description tells of the horror that the abortionist experiences every day as routine:

“But now we’re hearing that it’s even worse than we could have imagined. Now, we had been hearing reports that this had happened, but now we are getting this confirmed directly from the Israeli Prime Minister’s office that babies and toddlers did have their heads decapitated by these terrorists.”

I didn’t either. There’s a slight amount of hope here... I guess.

I think atheism is a swell religion.

It takes as much faith to believe there’s no God as it does to believe there is.

I hope Terrisa is able to survive this campaign, because the pro-abortion Democrats will do whatever is necessary to silence her. She won't win the election, but if she can reach enough people she can make a difference in how they vote.

I couldn't get the video embedded in Life News page to run, but I went to "terrisa2024.com" and viewed the entire 5 minute ad.

"Highly gruesome"? Really? Not enough so, in my opinion. I've watched videos of abortions. In my opinion, anyone considering aborting their pre-born baby should watch a video of an abortion of a pre-born baby of the same age. Otherwise they cannot give truly "informed consent" to the procedure.

I wish Terrisa all the luck and success in the world. Her opponents snuff out a few thousand lives every day, so to them, what's one more? I hope she survives this campaign.

T he 30-second TV spot, obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller

A TV spot obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller? Someone needs to talk to the boys in marketing.

As I’m reading these responses I sense a weary hope that this woman will make a difference!……that folks who actually view the contents of this video will wake up and be moved to action!

Hope springs eternal!

Abortionists, through the past 50 years, when Roe ( baby killing) was introduced to the world as a ‘right’ ……..the destroyer of babies (Planned Parenthood) have determined NO PICTURES…..NO VIDEO will be.allowed to show what actually happens when a baby is torn limb from limb in the wound
….BECAUSE if you see it, it’s real……and there’s no excuse to deny it!

Kudos to this woman for trying……

Our nation, alone, has the blood of millions of children on its collective soul
May God have mercy, May our nation repent!
