Duckworth: Republicans Put the ‘Rights of a Fertilized Egg Over’ the Rights of Women
Breitbart ^ | 02/25/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/25/2024 10:55:46 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

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.

Interesting coming from a woman who, most likely, used IVF for her geriatric pregnancy. Also... Will she be calling Malia and Sasha Obama useless clumps of cells seeing how that is how they were conceived?

Yes, McCain’s actions as a POW make him a war hero - period.
Politically, he was short tempered, vindictive and hateful.
Bury him with full military honors; he’s gone.

contra: against

seption: when life begins - egg meets sperm

Abortion does NOT prevent the sperm/egg union - it occurs afterward.

While I have concerns about the Alabama ruling, the conclusion
Duckworth extrapolates from it is absurd.

The ruling is that the embryos can’t be destroyed, not that women have to give birth to all of them.

The woman has no greater rights than the unborn child. This argument is bogus. It’s long past time to start pushing back.

If Duckworth is an evil monster then so is Trump. He doesn’t believe fertilized eggs are persons either.

Is this a fair restatement?

where the use of contraception is the avoidance of pregnancy, and should it fail, the likely alternative is abortion

It certainly is the case, no?

But the point to be made is that people are pro abortion massively because, not that they’re trying for pregnancy so they can have an abortion, but that they want abortion available because their entire lifestyle revolves around birth control. They live with their non spouses, have their finances and careers worked out around the availability and use of birth control. Artificial birth control is 90% effective or thereabout
