On Wednesday night, pro-life Rep. Mia Love (R-Utah) told Lou Dobbs on his Fox Business show that Planned Parenthood’s organ harvesting business is “absolutely horrific,” and the videos released by The Center for Medical Progress make her very emotional. In the six minute interview, she started crying and said, “This is not about a right or left issues; this is about right or wrong. We’ve got to do everything we can … to make sure that we don’t allow this to happen.”
As LifeNews previously reported, Love is the first pro-life African American Republican female to be elected to Congress, and she has been very open about her pro-life views.
During her 2014 campaign, she said, “I am proud to say that I am pro-life. My commitment to pro-life policies is unwavering, and I look forward to working with others in Congress to protect the right to life. I have received endorsements from multiple pro-life organizations, including the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the nation’s oldest and largest pro-life organization.”
Additionally, the pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List endorsed Love in March of last year. In a press release, President Marjorie Dannenfelser, said, “The SBA List is proud to endorse Mia Love for Utah’s fourth district. We hope to help send this rising star to Washington in the fall. She will be an ideal advocate for women and unborn children. Throughout her political career, Mia has kept the pro-life cause close to her heart. Her unique voice will be an excellent addition to the House Pro-life Women’s Caucus.”
On August 19, Love joined Utah Governor Gary Herbert and a dozen other pro-life lawmakers at a rally calling on federal de-funding of Planned Parenthood. At the event, Gov. Herbert said, “We are not going to stop that funding. It just won’t be made available through Planned Parenthood.” He added, “The thing I find most appalling is the casualness, the callousness … the lack of respect, the lack of sensitivity to the unborn,” referring to the Planned Parenthood footage.
Keep up with the latest pro-life news and information on Twitter.
Earlier this week, a seventh video was released catching Planned Parenthood harvesting the brain of an aborted baby who was still alive. The new video includes the testimony of Holly O’Donnell, a former procurement technician, and her eyewitness account of Planned Parenthood dissecting an intact brain from a late-term unborn baby whose heart was still beating after the abortion. O’Donnell said her supervisor asked her, “Do you want to see something kind of cool?” Then she taped the baby’s heart and it started beating.
Here’s more on Love’s interview with Lou Dobbs:
On “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Love came across as empathetic, heartfelt and eloquent as she laid bare her emotions on national television about abortion; emotions that seemed raw even weeks after the news of the leaked Planned Parenthood videos first broke. She spoke about how she’s a mother and wife and how if she doesn’t stand up for these unborn babies, who will?
It wasn’t the first time Love has spoken out publicly on Planned Parenthood, but it was certainly her most visible interview. And Republican Party leaders would undoubtedly like to see more of this. They have put women on the forefront of their fight to defund Planned Parenthood and are hoping to elevate elected officials like Love in a much-needed effort to expand the party’s reach among women and minorities.
But the party has arguably taken a few steps back in recent weeks thanks to Donald Trump, who is leading the Republican presidential field while not apologizing for calling women “fat pigs” and illegal Mexican immigrants “rapists and criminals.” Now more than ever, the GOP could really use some more Love. Specifically, this kind of Love.
I am not surprised Mia Love started to cry. She comes across as having a gentle soul and really troubled by this.
Even accounting for this country’s most liberal state-level abortion laws, removing the brain from a baby that survived an abortion attempt is premeditated murder.
This (the executive branch and CONgre$$) is the most evil government in the history of the republic, after what has been revealed to us about Planned Pre-Meditated Pulling Apart Babies for Profit. We are FORCED to pay for these deceivers…this death cult.
Plunder and death…the calling cards of criminals, socialists, totalitarians.
Zero representation on fundamental aspects of life, liberty and the slaughter of the innocent.
It’s a wonderful story about Mia Love, who has one of the most interesting bios of anyone in the HOR. So what’s the point of the inaccurate assessment of what Trump said and how he’s faring with female voters?
Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi said, “my favorite word is the Word. And I like abortion, too.”
If someone doesn’t realize that cutting up live babies, and selling the parts is wrong, what does anyone think WILL EVER reach them?
This is utterly depraved.
This is utterly depraved.
A Nuremberg-style trial needs to be organized for the enablers in the three branches of the federal government, in state governments, and in private organizations like Planned Parenthood and other butchershops of babies from the womb. The charge should be genocidal murder, crimes against humanity, and treason.
Even if only ten pro-abortionists a day are convicted and sentenced to be hanged, it's a start for at least a decade of applied justice.
I’m proud to have donated to her campaign even though I don’t live in Utah.
Hard to watch because Geraldo is on today.
What the U.S. Supreme Court did in Roe v. Wade was to grant white women a thinly-veiled license to practice genocide against their own race. Under the guise of a woman’s “right to choose”. The third world has never protested Roe v. Wade. Neither have the muslims in the U.S. These people don’t even practice birth control. They are having children left and right. Especially the Hispanics.
At least someone cares. The lefties sure don’t.
JUSTICE GINSBURG : Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion.
79% of Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinics Target Blacks, Hispanics
As Planned Parenthood marks its 96th anniversary today, new research shows the abortion business targets blacks and Hispanics by putting 79% of its abortion clinics in minority neighborhoods.
Very good for her. We should all be sobbing and on our knees before Almighty God begging Him to intervene. Our hearts are too hard, even some of our softer ones. A soft heart is good. Having a soft heart doesn’t mean that you aren’t tough, but that you know how to care and love.
Jesus is described as a tender plant. We should be tender too.
Isaiah 53:2
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground:
