However, abortion &#8212; the deliberate targeting of a preborn child for death &#8212; is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-never-medically-health-care\/\">never actually medically necessary<\/a>, and aborting children considered &#8220;incompatible with life&#8221; is, in reality,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/justice-clarence-thomas-abortion-eugenics\/\">eugenics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Kimberly Inez McGuire, executive director of URGE, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.al.com\/news\/2019\/09\/national-non-profit-erects-pro-abortion-billboards-across-state.html\">told<\/a> AL.com the billboards are meant to &#8220;celebrate&#8221; abortion. \u201cThis [abortion] is a personal decision that each of us have to make.
