Abortion advocates use a variety of tactics. Sometimes they\u2019ll try and paint \u00a0frightening scenarios if abortion is outlawed. A friend of mine came across one recently:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She wasn\u2019t exactly panicked:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Curiously, this person didn\u2019t explain how limiting \u201csexual freedom\u201d is worse than dismemberment<\/a>. Instead, she offered this:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You often hear that pro-life men \u201cfear sexually active women.\u201d Why<\/i>, I have no idea; it\u2019s certainly not a phobia I struggle with. However, I can<\/i> see why some men would fear pregnancy\u00a0and child support. Luckily for them, the abortion industry is good at killing their obligations. Protecting their partners from coercion and violence? Not so much.<\/p>\n

When you regard women as disposable means to sexual ends, pregnancy can be a real hazard. That\u2019s why \u201cbro-choice<\/a>\u201d author Christian McQueen offered this advice:<\/p>\n

\"Christian<\/p>\n

And if a new purse isn\u2019t convincing enough, then there are guides on how to apply more pressure:<\/p>\n

\"ROK-700x180-edited\"<\/p>\n

According some studies, more than half<\/a> of women who abort feel pushed into it; resisting can be deadly. It was for Joseph Minerd\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0ex-girlfriend. Minerd firebombed the woman\u2019s house after she refused to have an abortion. Her 3-year-old daughter died in the attack as well.<\/p>\n

The crime was far from unique: Hawa Gabbidon<\/a> and Shamari Jenkins<\/a> were both shot for the same reason. It\u2019s also why Shaniesha Forbes<\/a> was smothered, Roxanne Fernando<\/a> was beaten to death, and Tasha Rossett\u2019s<\/a> throat was slashed. Given cases like this, it\u2019s not surprising the CDC lists homicide as\u00a0a leading cause<\/a> of death during pregnancy.<\/p>\n

So how is the abortion industry helping to protect women from violence? Well…it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This year in Michigan, Rep. Amanda Price and Nancy Jenkins backed anti-coercion legislation<\/a>; Planned Parenthood opposed it<\/a>. When Texas state Rep. Molly White proposed\u00a0legislation<\/a> requiring abortion facilities to offer a private room with information about support programs and a telephone to contact law enforcement, NARAL Pro-Choice Texas said it was \u201cnot needed<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t agree, tell your elected representatives you want stronger laws to protect new moms. You can also help pregnancy care centers<\/a>, places offering women care and support. Because while sexually active women aren\u2019t scary, pro-abortion violence sure is.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s end it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
