Actress Jameela Jamil and pro-abortion activist Gloria Steinem spoke with <\/span>Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/span><\/a> recently, and their inflammatory sentiments are making waves with pro-lifers on the internet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jamil was quite upfront with her opinions about abortion and stated forthrightly that she does not believe in the worth of preborn children. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI, similarly to you, feel very passionately about a woman’s right to choose,” she said. “I’m someone who’s had an abortion, and I feel like I need to make sure that we prove it’s not always just emergencies. People have abortions, sometimes a woman just wants her liberty, and we have to normalize that it’s okay just to make that choice for yourself, because your life is as important as a newborn life that doesn’t even exist yet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

If that life in the womb “[didn’t] even exist yet,” then there would be no abortion<\/em>. But I digress….<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, The Good Place actress <\/span>claimed<\/span><\/a> it was better for babies to be aborted than \u201cruined\u201d in foster care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The backlash to Jamil’s comments was swift — and drew a sharp and dark response from Jamil on <\/span>Twitter<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo the people trolling me and @GloriaSteinem because we said there is no democracy without a woman\u2019s right to choose…. I SAID WHAT I [F***ING] SAID and you\u2019re clueless if you think I\u2019m going to take it back. My life *is* more important to me than an unborn fetus\u2019 one. Suck on that.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

And <\/span>later<\/span><\/a>, she claimed, \u201cYou people are Pro birth. Not pro life. There are plenty of starving, homeless babies currently. Over 100k currently seeking foster care. You care about fetuses, Once they\u2019re out the womb, you don\u2019t give a [f***]. Help the kids who are alive first, then call yourself \u2018pro-life.\u2019\u201d Again… just because preborn children are in the womb doesn’t mean they aren’t alive. According to basic biology, they are alive and human<\/a> from the moment of fertilization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro-life activist Ryan Bomberger captured the indignation of many in his reply<\/a>\u00a0to Jamil’s tweet:\u00a0 “It’s easy to celebrate abortion. It requires ZERO investment. Your fake feminism sees the poor, hungry or ‘unplanned’ as better off dead. I was a foster child. 9 of my other siblings were too. We were all adopted & loved by those you call ‘you people.'”<\/p>\n

I call BS (bogus stuff). It's easy to celebrate abortion. It requires ZERO investment. Your fake feminism sees the poor, hungry or "unplanned" as better off dead. I was a foster child. 9 of my other siblings were too. We were all adopted & loved by those you call "you people". pic.twitter.com\/rYR1kiBkRN<\/a><\/p>\n
