During a debate in the Alabama House of Representatives over a proposed abortion ban, one Democratic representative made an astonishing remark about why he opposed the bill.
“It ought to be a woman’s choice,” said Representative John Rogers of Birmingham. “I’m not about to be a man and tell a woman what to do with her body. She has a right to make her decisions herself.” So far, a fairly standard argument in favor of the right to abortion. But Rogers didn’t stop there.
“Some kids are unwanted,” he went on. “So you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them into the world unwanted, unloved, then send them to the electric chair. So you kill them now or kill them later.”
Alabama Senate majority leader, Republican Greg Reed, issued a statement in response to this horrific comment. “Representative Rogers’ remarks are chilling,” Reed said. “‘Kill them now, or you kill them later’? His comments should be condemned at the state and national level.”
Reed also noted that the abortion ban in question passed the Alabama House by an overwhelming 74–3 vote and said the measure will be taken up in the state senate in the next few days.
While Rogers’s defense of abortion is certainly chilling, it’s also a striking reminder of how rarely abortion-rights activists openly admit the reality of the right they are demanding. Most often, they dismiss unborn human beings as a “clump of cells” or a parasite within the mother. With his horrifying comment, Rogers has exposed those lies, admitting, as abortion defenders so rarely do, that every abortion procedure — no matter when or how it takes place — intentionally ends an innocent human life.

It’s an overall “modern black culture” thing.
It’s hard for them to do anything that would extinguish the pity party. Now sympathy isn’t wrong when it leads to constructive, honest answers. But pity parties don’t end.
Wasn’t Bill Clinton adopted? So he was “unwanted” as well. Do the Dems think we should “kill him later”?
Killl them now or kill them later.
I think that the pro-abortionists finally have a member that will acknowledge that fetuses are human beings. This will be a perfect quote to use when an unborn child is referred to as a “clump of cells”, a “zygote” or a “parasite.
So, which one are you gonna knock off first?
For those of you who reside outside the State of Alabama, you have probably never heard of this clown. He makes Maxine Waters seem somewhat intelligent.
Outside of his district (Birmingham) he is a complete joke and a laughingstock. In addition to his stunningly low IQ, one almost needs a translator to understand him because of his bad diction and mauling of the English language.
A few years ago, there was a young radio talk show host based in Birmingham who loved to have Rogers as a guest on his show specifically to mock Rogers’ speaking and his general idiocy. Those interviews made for good comedy.
The funniest thing is that Rogers was so dense that he had no idea that he was only invited on the show for the purpose of being ridiculed.
The only people dumber than Rogers are the morons in his district who keep electing him.
Finally a democrat slips up and tells the truth....
Another pro abort practicing Catholic I notice
This are his exact words:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rogers_(Alabama_politician)
On 5/1/19 Congressman Rogers stated during a filibuster on an abortion ban bill in Alabama:
“Some children are just unwanted. You either kill them now or you kill them later in the electric chair.”
RE: Another pro abort practicing Catholic I notice
I didn’t know that he was Catholic.
I didn’t know that he was Catholic.
The article states he is a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church.
Mom MD is making the false assumption that being a "member" of a Catholic church = practicing Catholic.
not only is this guy insane, he is a hypocryte
So he acknowledges that they are "kids"? The ones you "kill now"?
bkmk
How many folks had a dad that said “I brought you into this world, I can take you right back out.” or some variation of same when you really deserved an ass whoopin’?
Democrats are all baby killers.
So now this ought to be answerable with statistics showing it’s impossible to target whom without engaging in great overkill, and why aren’t our dear liberals aghast at that?
That’s wicked
