MN Celebrates Abortionists as Women Mourn
Townhall.com ^ | March 7, 2020 | Tori Pterson

The current fad of #Shout Your Abortion represents a real shift in the abortion mindset as “safe, legal and rare,” which has given way to a reality in which members of the U.S. Senate can’t agree to stop infanticide by abortion vendors. Add to that an unsettling vote this week in Minnesota where a city council went even further in celebrating abortion. 

This week, Saint Paul Minnesota City Council met to discuss whether March 10, 2020 would be recognized as Abortion Providers Appreciation Day in Saint Paul to “honor” abortionists. During the public hearing, 1 RES 20-416 was unanimously passed, 7-0. 

The timing of the resolution was not an accident, as pro-choice and pro-lifers stood head to head at the U.S. Supreme Court, protesting for the passing or dismissal of women’s healthcare. Currently, Louisiana law does not require that women who have a failed abortion gain admitting privileges to receive the necessary and urgent care in emergencies. The Unsafe Abortion Protection Law Act aims to require admitting privileges at hospitals for less than 30 miles away for the safety of women and preborn babies.

The resolution passed in Minnesota directly refutes The Unsafe Abortion Protection Law Act, as it states, “The Supreme Court of the United States now contains a majority of Justices who may not interpret the Constitution to provide protection for the right to end a pregnancy and may overturn or severely limit Roe v. Wade, which includes the threat of women patients and abortion providers being arrested and sent to jail.” But 1 RES 20-416 left out the threats that women and preborn patients face because of abortion vendors.

Social media influencer, bloggers, and former abortion vendors are exposing the dangers of the abortion industry every day.

Social media influencer Serena Dyksem, a woman who survived a brutal abortion, bravely shares her story of abortion and says, “I was raped at thirteen and taken for an abortion. The abortion was worse than the rape… I was yelled at for screaming. I was sent out the door hemorrhaging.” The Coalition for Life St. Louis reported that ambulances were seen at a Planned Parenthood abortion facility in St. Louis 61 times in the year of 2016 because the physical dangers women face in abortions are not uncommon. 

The damage to women’s physical health does not just follow directly after paying for an abortion, but for a lifetime. Serena struggled with reproductive issues following the abortion. She lost an ovary and almost bled to death twelve years later; and eventually had to undergo a full hysterectomy by the age of 29.

The trauma goes beyond physical, plaguing women with mental illness, as well. Serena admitted she suffered with flashbacks. “I tried to block everything out and not remember,” but she was eventually diagnosed with PTSD following her abortion.

And it is evident that abortions do not just affect the victim, but abortions have affects for generations. “I would later turn to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain of the abortion. I struggled with depression and had a hard time parenting my kids…” Thankfully, after years of receiving support, Serena has healed from her abortion and now raises her children with her husband.

Toni McFadden, founder of Relationships Matter and pro-life speaker, has said she was given the RU-486 pill as instructed and later started hemorrhaging. “I had blood clots the size of my fist leaving my body. I sat on a toilet for hours, in so much pain, and bleeding… I could have died.” 

While Minnesotan council members are celebrating abortionists putting women and children’s lives at risks, pro-life constituents stand and protest for the protection of women and children. The Unsafe Abortion Protection Law Act ensures true healthcare for women; and the people advocating for it, and the women, like Serena and Toni, who have survived before it, should be the ones honored.

Abortion allows men to enjoy unprotected sex without the need for romance, commitment or concern for long term financial responsibility.

“Abortion allows men to enjoy unprotected sex without the need for romance, commitment or concern for long term financial responsibility.”

I have never, ever heard a man praise abortion, nor have I ever heard a man praise abortion because it enabled his sex life.

And, except for people like Schumer, who gave his speech in front of a group of loud mouth women screaming for the right to murder babies, it is always women who are screaming for abortion rights.

States rights. The Eugenicists said it must be done. America’s mullahs found a penumbra. Defenseless children, defenseless seniors. Cull the herd. Useless eaters are unsustainable.

The dems are evolving into the Donner Party at a breakneck speed with their vile pro abortion stances becoming their core belief and activity.

This really stupid PC reality earns multiple Darwin Awards as Abortion is now their new religion and core of activity.

("Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." - Charles Darwin)

The Darwin Awards were a tongue-in- cheek honor, originating in Usenet newsgroup discussions around 1985. They recognize individuals, who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or their own sterilization by their own actions.

“I have never, ever heard a man praise abortion, nor have I ever heard a man praise abortion because it enabled his sex life.”

There are plenty of them out there. I am ashamed to admit that when I was in my early twenties I likely would have had no problem with a GF getting an abortion to eliminate a pregnancy caused by me.

I am much older and wiser now and abhor the practice. My wife has been even more pro-life over the years than myself.

She got pregnant with twins late in our marriage, she was 46 and the likelihood of problems including Downs syndrome was significant.

The doctor asked her if she wanted to undergo an amniocentesis to determine if there were issues and she said “NO, it doesn’t matter if anything IS wrong, I’M HAVING THEM”!

One of her finest moments. As it turned out everything was fine, she actually gave birth to both naturally and they are both in college now....one an ALL American runner. The good Lord was working overtime for us that day.

Yes one part of the equation during the sexual revolution. However, what about this?



Mostly women and a guy who looks like he "plays for the same team".

Or how about the fact that during the period in this country when men could only vote, abortion remained illegal (Which shoots down your entire premise). After WWII when women shifted to the majority of the electorate, abortion rights gained steamed through the second wave of FEMINISM. Please explain this.

These days, a woman aged 46 wanting to have twins is indeed rare.

The abortion industry may have used feminists to ramrod abortion into legality, but early feminists were NOT pro-abortion.

Abortion always has been about making sure that playboys never have to face the consequences of their actions. Women who go along with it either do not realize or do not want to face the fact that the abortion industry and selfish men prey on them, reducing them to nothing more than sex toys and cash cows.

A number of lies were used to bring Roe v. Wade to the Supreme Court. Norma Rae McCormick later deeply regretted her role in forcing legal abortion across the country.

You are kidding, right, so Betty Freidan and crew were hustled by playboys along with the abortion industry?

The 2nd wave of feminism was about birth control, abortion, no fault divorce, and equal employment opportunities. McCormick was used and took advantage of, but pro-abortion females (Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington) were the ones that took advantage of her, riddle me that.

Susan B. Anthony comes to mind, but the early suffragettes who worked for women’s right to vote were pro-life.

Betty Freidan, Gloria Steinem, et al., were not the early feminists by a long shot. And I have no idea why they embraced the anti-woman practice of abortion... unless they were profiting from it.

Anthony and the first wave of feminist shunned Sanger and her eugenics promoting ilk.

Betty Freidan, Gloria Steinem, et al., were the second wave of 20th century feminism which I was initially describing. They are the ilk that wanted to be “just like men” (Which why would anybody want that horrible burden I do not know) and believe the should have reproductive freedom in order the be like men (Hence the core of why they are hell bent pro-abortion fanatics, just like millions of other females and males unfortunately).
