Tomi Lahren, known to viewers\u00a0of TheBlaze, will be suspended for a week starting Monday following comments in support of abortion on last Friday’s episode of\u00a0The View,<\/em> a show whose hosts<\/a> likewise support\u00a0abortion. There was also contention with her co-workers, including site founder Glenn Beck, as reported<\/a> by the Daily Caller.\u00a0The Daily Caller also claims<\/a>\u00a0Lahren will likely be gone in September. Live Action News’ Cassy Fiano previously reported<\/a>\u00a0Lahren’s comments:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pro-choice, and here\u2019s why. I am a constitutional, y\u2019know, someone that loves the Constitution. I\u2019m someone that\u2019s for limited government. So I can\u2019t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I\u2019m for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies. I can sit here and say that, as a Republican and I can say, you know what, I\u2019m for limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well[.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As has been pointed out<\/a> before<\/a>, abortion is\u00a0not merely a matter of big government or small, limited government. The right to life is the first of our inalienable rights enumerated\u00a0in the Declaration of Independence. Abortion advocates have often pointed to the Constitution’s 14th Amendment — which supposedly protects the right to privacy and thus abortion, even though such terms are never in the document<\/a>\u00a0—\u00a0yet the 14th Amendment could also be interpreted to protect the preborn.<\/p>\n

For Lahren to phrase her argument as if abortion is about\u00a0“my body,” she’s using a tiring but oft-repeated pro-abortion talking point. The preborn child resides inside<\/em> his or her mother’s body, but the child\u00a0has his or her own<\/em> body<\/a>. A\u00a0unique set of DNA has been present since conception, and this new person rapidly develops body parts, separate from the mother’s own body parts.<\/p>\n
