In light of recent news about the conviction of Harvey Weinstein on two counts of felony sex crimes.<\/a>\u00a0and in the ongoing era of the #MeToo movement, let’s take a look back at some recent sexual abuse allegations that have shaken the ‘abortion rights’ movement.<\/p>\n

1. Harvey Weinstein<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most well known predator from the #MeToo movement is Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. As previously<\/a> detailed by Live Action News, this predator was a friend of Planned Parenthood. He even\u00a0attended<\/a> Planned Parenthood\u2019s 100th anniversary gala in New York City where he dropped<\/a> $100,000 in support of the nation’s number one abortion provider.<\/p>\n

2. Anthony Weiner<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disgraced New York congressman\u00a0Anthony Weiner was a staunch advocate of abortion, even speaking at Planned Parenthood rallies. He was released from prison last year after he pleaded guilty to transferring obscene material to a minor. “With full knowledge that he was communicating with a real 15-year-old girl, the defendant asked her to engage in sexually explicit conduct via Skype and Snapchat, where her body was on display, and where she was asked to sexually perform for him,” prosecutors wrote, according to NPR<\/a>.<\/p>\n
