Duckworth: Republicans Put the ‘Rights of a Fertilized Egg Over’ the Rights of Women

Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that Republicans have put the “rights of a fertilized egg over” the rights of women in America.

Partial transcript as follows:

MARTHA RADDATZ: What was your reaction when you saw the Supreme Court decision in Alabama?

DUCKWORTH: Not at all surprised, unfortunately. I have been talking about this in 2018 when it was very clear that Republicans were working to eliminate women’s reproductive rights. I said if Neil Gorsuch gets put on the Supreme Court, if Amy Coney Barrett gets put on the Supreme Court, we’re going to have an erosion of Roe v. Wade, and even back in 2018, I said, IVF is next. They said they’re coming for IVF. So, unfortunately, I wasn’t surprised. I’m devastated for those families that are trying to start families, but I was not at all surprised.

Hey, you SOB, I'll tell you who Senator Duckworth is, and you'd better show respect for a real hero. Read this if you've got the guts: Senator Tammy Duckworth

I rebuke pretty much all of her political positions, including this one, but she deserves all honor and respect.

Republicans also have always put the rights of a slave over the rights of a slave holder. Same argument, different details.

Good analogy, as owner/master vs. the owned.

A for "my body, my choice" argument, my against is that if a lost, abandoned vulnerable toddler wandered into your house because you left the door open, you would be morally obligated to care for such till others could do so, and expelling such a needy child under "my house, my choice" rationale,, would be criminal, much more so arranging for the termination of that human life, regardless of your protests such as "I did not agree to this, this interferes with my life, cannot afford to give care.

In some states, you cannot even shoot suspected burglars unless they manifestly endanger lives, much less a lost vulnerable child who finds a way into your house since you left the door open.

Likewise if someone you invited into your car or house secretly brings a child with them without your consent, then you simply do not have the right to exterminate that life, which is not a lethal threat to you.

And even more unjustifiable is to kill a child resulting from your choice to engage in a behavior which most naturally produces offspring. You choose to engage in a risky behavior.

So in order to justify the “pro-choice” position - which is denying the subject of extermination any choice in the matter, and is contrary to the normal course of nature - then one must deny that what is inside the womb is a human person (unless pro-choice promoters are willing to be classed as murderers, which they are).

And thus the pro anti-infant choice promoter must justify their basis for determining that.

Will it be the ability to function on its own, though it rather shortly will be able to? If so, then you had best not be laid up for a while if needing life-sustaining support.

And of course, most aged in nursing homes could thus be turned into sources of protein.

Will it be based upon location, meaning outside the womb killing the infant would be murder, but before that it is open game?

Or will the unborn human life be valued at least as much as protected migratory birds are, for due to the procreating nature of the egg of a protected migratory bird and the value placed upon it, then crushing the life of such is outlawed.

The fact is that, as a 1.6 birth rate testifies, children overall are increasingly not desired nor seen as needed, or at least not if they require much sacrifice, while typically spoiling the one or maybe two children parents have on average, and with children being often replaced by pets, which are seen as more worthy of care and cost.

Meanwhile, fornication costs the country greatly.

Or you could say they put the rights of the innocent over the rights of the killer. So there’s that.

"Duckworth: Republicans Put the ‘Rights of a Fertilized Egg Over’ the Rights of Women"

But not in the same way that Democrats put the price of cotton over the rights of blacks.

[Round Earther]

I understand what she has sacrificed.

[Gene Eric]

Chicken eggs or human eggs?

[Gene Eric]

You feel the same way about McCain? He received far worse criticism than the noob’s benign remark.

With all kinds of contraception available why is this even an issue? As far as abortion goes that’s a state issue, not federal. Federal government has no constitutional right to even be involved in this controversy.

[Robert357]

Yes, the focus groups have determined the talking points.

One of the key issues that the Democrats are counting on to bring out the female vote is.....Abortion. But they can’t call it that. If they use the A word, then it will mobilize Evangelicals and Independents to turn out in force as well.

So what do they call it instead of the A word, and in a way that the key demographic of women voters will understand?

The will call it Republicans being against recreational sex. They will call it Republicans being more interested in a fertilized egg than a woman’s medical health.
They will call it Republicans being against women’s health clinics.

In short, they will raise the abortion issue as a national issue that can be decided by Congress or the President. Even though the Supreme Court has said that it is a State issue (and always was under Roe v Wade) over which the President has no power.

The focus groups have said this is an emotional issue for many women, even though the way it is being spun in the talking points is not truthful. But then again, politics is about winning, not about being honest.

Contraception leads to abortion. Abortion is contraception
Without abortion as an option, contraceptive lifestyle ceases. And that’s what this is all about

No one has the *right* to murder another human being.

We can pontificate all we want, but this ruling will likely cost the GOP several House seats in November. Dumb.

[Doulos1]

What is a woman?

[Enterprise]

Well, Duckhead, given that illegal aliens are raping and murdering American women and girls, the Democrats have prioritized the psychopathic depraved sexual needs of the invaders above the safety of American females.

What is a Duckworth?

Who are you who is so wise in the ways of science?

If we could condense this down to a bumper sticker, or a 30 second ad, or just a sound bite...

[Elsie]

Abortion is contraception

No, it's murder.

[stanne]

It can be both and it is both
