Wow, this is shocking and disturbing. This is what more people need to see. How can anyone defend abortion. These were babies that were brutally murdered, not tissue or fetuses.
I’ve had 2 abortions, one when I was too young to take care of a child and one when I was too old and high risk to want to go through with it. My husband and I have 2 beautiful, smart and kind children. I was not exploited by the abortion industry. I have agency.
I believe abortion should be safe and legal for women who choose it, but I am glad the Supreme Court will soon overturn Roe and states will again decide the issue of its legality which is where it rightly belongs. There is no Right to an abortion, a deeply immoral act – feminists make a grave error when they argue otherwise – that nevertheless should be legal because women will always seek it out and illegal abortions harm women. If it weren’t immoral, it wouldn’t be such a difficult choice for women to make. Porn, prostitution in some places, some drugs, alcohol, gambling, and guns are all immoral and all legal.
More importantly, if you want a successful political movement to end corporate hegemony, enhance worker’s rights and participation in their workplaces, and end the industrial military complex and security state we need to get past the culture war. The culture wars function as a sleight of hand by the ruling class to distract and divide us and help maintain the status quo. Abortion, prayer in schools, gay and trans rights, reparations, return them all to the states, let the people at the local level decide how they want to live. This will accomplish two things; it will encourage people to get involved in local and state politics and give breathing room to a national movement that can tackle the real problems of corporate capitalism. I don’t expect this to happen, but it would make for interesting politics again.
If it could happen, I believe the people may surprise you and settle these issues in ways liberals and activists can live with.
No one can dispute that an abortion stops the beating of an innocent and helpless human heart. Certainly, as a matter of indisputable medical science, an abortion after 6 weeks stops the beating of a human heart.
A human fetus is human life, is it not?
The heart of a human fetus is a human heart, is it not?
Human Life begins at conception; a fetus is NOT a legal person but a human fetus is human life.
Stopping the beating of an innocent and helpless human heart is not a good thing.
Life begins at some point. If you take that life after that point it is murdered. The trafficking in dead babies is appalling. If you can’t look at something, or talk about it, perhaps you shouldn’t be doing it
Heartbreaking. The images of those slaughtered babies will haunt me for a long time. Anyone supporting "abortion" (such a nice, technical term, like a pop-up window inquiring if you'd like to "Abort, Retry, Continue?") really needs to sit with those images for a while. Imagine the blinding pain and primal terror that baby felt as it was repeatedly stabbed in the face, or had its skull crushed, or was torn from the womb to be dismembered or left to die on a medical tray. And then there is the trauma of those mothers as well at the hands of monsters like Santangelo. (Check out Live Action's revealing investigation of him, for example.)
It is astonishing that authorities can't be bothered to do an autopsy or investigate Cesare Santangelo (His name is basically "Caesarean Satan Angel;" you can't write this stuff.), but apparently they'll try and throw the book at Handy for exposing what could well be a federal crime even under current, lax abortion law.
Roe v Wade is going to be overturned and kicked back to the states. It is time: we are coming up on 50 years of legalized murder, with over 60 million babies killed in the US.
I was going to elaborate more, but there is just too much to cover because I do understand (and have even advocated) some of the "pro-choice" points, but it will likely spawn its own article at this point...
(Edit: far less important, but one other valuable aspect of this story is it highlights how absurd our binary political designations are by showcasing an eloquent "leftist" group fighting abortion, an issue that stereotypically gets bundled up with the Leftist/Liberal/Dem political value meal. "Oh you want universal healthcare? Great! That comes with a side of abortion and biggie-sized gun control. $12.53, please drive up to the first window."
Women have the inalienable right to abort a fetus without any state interference until the fetus develops the capacity for sentience, becomes a being. Until that point, the fetus is a mere object. A nonsentient fetus is NOT a baby, the fetus becomes a baby when it becomes a being.
People need to understand the simple and straight forward fact that only beings have rights and religious belief about objects cannot be used as an excuse to infringe on enumerated rights, such as the right to abortion, that are protected by the Ninth Amendment. Women are beings and have the inalienable right to control their own lives and bodies. This group is not progressive
Sentience, the quality of feeling: pain? Perception? The science of 2022 says yes, pain is felt, in 1964 not so much. It seems a large majority who consider a a 16 week old baby in the womb is 2 tablespoons of snot in a soft shell is a person who NEVER HAD CHILDREN.
Crime and poverty declined precipitously about 15-20 years after Roe v. Wade made abortions safe and legal. Unwanted children are not loved and nurtured the way every child deserves to be. Obviously, abortion should be seen as a last resort and other methods of contraception are preferred, but it's an essential element of reproductive health, women's autonomy and child welfare.
I couldn't bare listening to this.....I'm for a woman's right to choose. One in 3 women choose an abortion. The Catholic Church refuses to baptise fetuses. Nothing worse than an unwanted child.
Thank-you, Matt, for this story. A news report about third-trimester, partial-birth abortion, is not a "distraction" as some are characterizing it. Third-trimester, partial-birth abortion is a grave moral and ethical issue, and we should be talking about it. This practice is not rare, and it is happening everyday in the U.S. It is a symptom of how far our society has gone in order to rationalize just about anything in the various names of 'health,' which should be concerning. Babies can live outside the womb in the third trimester, and even the second trimester. It is way too late, and the video shows the depravity of it.
This country is deeply psychotic

We will someday look back on the era of abortion the way we look back on the era of slavery.
Abortion is barbaric. It is the murder of another human being. There's no such thing as a freedom to murder your own children. Doesn't exist.

No wonder we are spiraling down the drain. This is so morally wrong there can't be a way out for those that participate. They have no soul.

the creep factor in this story is really high no matter where you stand on abortion
