Ha, hilarious they’d call people “inhumane” and “out of touch” with American values while advocating for killing 20-week-old babies. The punch line of these people writes itself.
Via CNS News:
(CNSNews.com) – Pro-abortion groups are angry about the passage of H.R. 36, the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would put a national ban on most abortions after 20 weeks gestation except in the cases of rape, incest or when the mother’s life is threatened.
“Plain and simple – when politicians introduce inhumane bans on abortions, they are tying the hands of physicians who want to help couples going through heartbreaking situations like serious fetal anomalies,” Shaunna Thomas, co-founder of the liberal activist website UltraViolet, said in a press release, adding that Republicans want to “criminalize women’s reproductive choices.”
“Americans have said time and again that they don’t want politicians inserting themselves in vital reproductive- health care decisions,” Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America said in a last-minute press release from pro-abortion groups to express opposition to the bill, which passed on Wednesday by a 242-184 vote in the House of Representatives. “The audacity of anti-choice politicians in trying to pass a bill so harmful to women’s health during Women’s Health Week is appalling.”
“At Planned Parenthood Action Fund, our top priority is to make sure that every woman can make her own medical decision and has access to high-quality health care,” Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said in a statement, noting that late-term abortions are “extremely rare.”
“This bill is really part of a much bigger agenda to ban abortion completely, which the American public overwhelmingly opposes,” said Richards, who is also president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, which through its affiliated clinics performed 327,653 abortions in 2013-2014 according to its annual report.
