Abortionist\u00a0Meera Shah has an opinion piece in Newsweek<\/a> in which she insists that abortion isn’t infanticide, babies are never killed after abortions, later abortions only happen for the most dire reasons like health or fetal anomaly, and that President Trump and pro-life politicians are lying to women about abortion. And of course, lying to women is “unethical” — says a person who makes money from dismembering children in the womb. She insists that as an abortion provider, she should be trusted as the one who is truthful about abortion — not pro-lifers.<\/i>\u00a0No, this isn’t satire. She’s\u00a0serious.<\/p>\n

Lectures on truthfulness and ethics… from an abortionist<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Shah goes on to say that abortion is safe<\/em> — but ignores that\u00a0women are dying from legal abortion<\/a> — and common<\/em> — ignoring that the abortion rate continues to drop<\/a> — and doesn’t cause breast cancer<\/em> — even though multiple studies have pointed to a link<\/a>, and a pro-choice filmmaker recently<\/a> found compelling evidence<\/a> of a link, but was stonewalled<\/a> when she tried to get answers from cancer researchers.<\/p>\n

“It would be ethically irresponsible to provide misinformation to patients, and politicians should be held to the same standard,” writes Shah. Who better<\/em> to lecture politicians about ethics than a person who dismembers children in the womb and calls it ‘healthcare’?<\/em><\/p>\n

“I know the importance of providing my patients with the scientific facts they need to make health care decisions,” Shah claims.\u00a0But which scientific facts would those be?\u00a0Abortion providers don’t exactly make a habit of providing women with accurate information on fetal development, or on the very real potential risks of abortion.<\/p>\n
