When talking about abortion, Democratic politicians and activists usually prefer to speak euphemistically: The dismemberment or lethal poisoning of a baby who hasn't been born yet is almost always referred to as "reproductive health care" or "a woman's choice." The group NARAL, once known as the National Abortion Rights Action League, went so far as to change its name to NARAL Pro-Choice America so its supporters and allies could avoid saying the a-word.
When talking about abortion, Democratic politicians and activists usually prefer to speak euphemistically: The dismemberment or lethal poisoning of a baby who hasn't been born yet is almost always referred to as "reproductive health care" or "a woman's choice." The group NARAL, once known as the National Abortion Rights Action League, went so far as to change its name to NARAL Pro-Choice America so its supporters and allies could avoid saying the a-word.
But there's been a growing push on the left to not only defend abortion as a necessary evil that should be "safe, legal, and rare" but to celebrate it as a positive good. (See the #ShoutYourAbortion Twitter campaign of 2015.) And so on Wednesday evening, Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, took the stage at the Democratic National Convention and told the story of the time she aborted her first child because it was an inconvenient time to become a parent.
"To succeed in life, all we need are the tools, the trust, and the chance to chart our own path," Hogue said during her DNC speech. "I was fortunate enough to have these things when I found out I was pregnant years ago. I wanted a family, but it was the wrong time. I made the decision that was best for me—to have an abortion and get compassionate care at a clinic in my own community." At this point, applause and cheers could be heard in the crowd. "Now years later, my husband and I are parents to two incredible children," Hogue continued.
Prior to Hogue's speech, the 2016 Democratic convention was already shaping up to be the most pro-abortion political convention ever. The Democratic platform was changed this year to call for the repeal of the Hyde amendment in order to provide unlimited taxpayer-funding of elective abortions for Medicaid recipients. Cecile Richards of Planned Parenthood made the case for that policy in her speech Tuesday night.
And Hillary Clinton's running mate Tim Kaine flip-flopped on the issue of taxpayer-funded abortion at some point in just the last few weeks as he joined the Democratic ticket. That's something Joe Biden, a supporter of the Hyde amendment, never had to do to become Obama's running mate in 2008.
Thank you, Mother Theresa.
Unbeleivable.
Absolutely.
These are some disgustingly sick demented individuals whom display the depravity of man in ways that seem to defy common decency and civil manners.
To think this woman is “proud” to kill a human being while proclaiming Hillary is a champion for all just goes to show what years of government schooling can do to stop people from using common sense and instead easily listen to a reprobate spew out logical inconsistencies thought of as some higher intellectualism and “liberty”??
Is that you, Margaret Sanger?
I am 37, and I am beginning to think I have lived too long. I never ever got the idea a large part of this country is so enthusiastic about abortion.
My God curse all those people along with Hitlery!!! My she lose and lose BIG!!
“I made the decision that was best for me—to have an abortion...”
The “best for me” was the murder of her baby. I have read accounts that some women regret their abortion every day of their lives. They realize they were tricked. This woman exults in it.
Even if you thought the abortion was justified, why would people cheer that? Just sick people.
They don’t know it, but they are in for big trouble down the road.
You see, we have to support the abortion party...for the sake of the children.
Gross. How disgusting!
What might her child have become?
No one will ever know.
Lord have mercy!!!!
They probably,y did the same thing in Sodom and Gommorah, thought they were hot stuff...till they WERE hot stuff.
The left think of themselves as gods.
Just have them show a film of a partial birth abortion. That aught to turn some stomachs of some pro abortion libs.
red
I recall that last year these same liberals were crying non stop for months because Cecil the lion got shot.
And then they CHEER that babies get killed because they are an inconvenience.
I guess I will just never understand certain things.
Moloch approves.
Ghouls.
*SHUDDER*
What is it with Jewish American women and baby killing as their ultimate sacrament?
Ilyse Hogue btw just had twins after aborting the inconvenient ones
