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 meto 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.
” “Now years later, my husband and I are parents to two incredible children,””
I do wonder if those children know about their murdered sibling. Seems reasonable to inform them...
I hope that you don’t have children.
Apparently the kids are only a year old. She’s 46. According to Wikipedia.
My kids are fine - they survived.
Well, as the kids get older they’ll be able to find out about their missing sibling.
Abortion is the holy sacrament of the Democrat Party
I’m glad to hear it. Please extend to them my sympathies and assurance that life will improve.
Democrat politicians pray on national television for more abortions. Obama thanks his god for abortion and abortion workers on national television. Obama tells abortion workers they’re doing his god’s work on national television. 1 in 3 females in the USA will kill at least one of her children, probably more in her lifetime. Yeah, we’re pretty hip on the evil and that goes the majority of people who claim to be Christian.
Death lovers. Acolytes of Moloch.
Ms Hogue, have you explained to those two incredible children how blessed they are that you did not decide to murder them as you did their inconvenient elder sibling?"
According to what she said if it wasn’t the “right” time to have a baby that cries all night, a sick child, a difficult teenager, you should be able to kill them.
Hang tough. First , as a senior I am so proud of you being here. Despite an education system that never taught you about the 600,000 AMERICAN life sacrifices of WWII , Korea , and Vietnam— you are here typing to us . They have slaughtered babies so long in this country ( since the early 70’s), that we now count the non existent offspring of THEIR babies. 100 Million!!
So now they want to bring in illegals by the millions and ISIS Trojan horses. We must unite the generation to kill this evil communism. It is mandatory or the parasites will KILL the hosts.
"we not only strengthen our families, we honor our most cherished traditions of liberty and equality. These aren't just women's issues, these are the very foundation of our freedom".
Who knew?
Say what?
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish

Abortion is the murder of a baby, a small human being!!!
These people truly have no heart, soul or conscience.
Pathetic, just down right absolutely illogical and silly notions. Poor lady. Abortion is never the answer.
