Catholic Gymnast Simone Biles Says She is ‘Pro-Choice’ in Social Media Post

Olympic gymnast and Catholic Simone Biles sparked a stir on Monday, Aug. 10, when she announced on her Instagram stories that she is “very much pro-choice.”

Biles, 24, asked her Instagram followers to submit their “unpopular opinions,” which she would then comment on. One of her fans made the submission “abortion is wrong.”

The gymnast - who won bronze and silver medals in the recent Olympic competitions in Tokyo - replied, “I already know this is going to start the biggest argument & may even lose followers BUT I’m very much pro-choice.”

“Your body, your choice,” said Biles.

Biles added that she thinks the “foster care system is broken.” She and her siblings were placed in foster care throughout her childhood, and she and her younger sister Adria were adopted by her biological grandfather and his wife in 2003. Biles’ two elder siblings were adopted by another relative.

“It’s not that easy & coming from someone who was in the foster care system TRUST me,” she said. “Foster care system is broken & it’s TOUGH. Especially on the kids & young adults who age out.”

She further noted that “adoption is expensive.”

Simone should STFU and go hit the gym and practice so she can overcome her mental meltdown and betrayal of her team mates to make a hard won comeback from her humiliating loser performance in the Olympics .

A lot more humility and a lot less hubris would go a long way with this young lady.

From what I have read and heard is that the ‘spikes’ can pass through the various barriers that exist in the body. Also, that the spikes will be in breast milk and passed to the baby, just as some feeds can taint a cows milk.

I guess nascent humans have no choice. Pro choice...pro destruction of life...yeah...my hero (ine).
I think her 15 minutes are up. Next underweight, massively coordinated, eccentric! Step right on up and get chewed up by the star making machinery.

I have relatives...heavily into the Presbyterian Church USA. Also devout Democrats and all that the Democrats support (Pro-Choice especially). I’ve always wanted to ask them why they even bother going to church if they support the murder of babies. I can picture them getting to the Pearly Gates and St. Peter saying “Sorry folks”...and pointing to the Down elevator.

Oh, Simone. “My body my choice”?

What about the completely helpless and defenseless person’s body? What choice do they have?

I defended you, and you betray me.
