As both pro-life and pro-abortion bills seem to be battling it out among the states, pro-life lawmakers are facing a great deal of criticism for standing against the slaughter of millions of innocent preborn children every year. It seem that while pro-abortion lawmakers rarely have their character called into question (they’re for “women’s reproductive rights,” so the media tells us), pro-life lawmakers seem to have to defend their perfectly reasonable and logical position. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

Avery Bourne<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Illinois, female Republican state Rep. Avery Bourne gave a moving, emotional speech to oppose an extreme pro-abortion bill<\/a>. Bourne, who is pregnant, even grew tearful as she spoke.\u00a0“This bill will mean that, for a woman at my stage in pregnancy, where the baby responds to his dad\u2019s voice as he reads him books at night, the woman could go to the facility \u2013 the baby is perfectly healthy \u2013 but if that woman says based on my familial health, this is medically necessary, that is allowed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
