There’s no doubting that abortion is the intentional taking of human life. Excuses may be made, people may make justifications, but it doesn’t change what actually happens every time an abortion is committed. Yet abortion advocates continue to find different ways to redefine the killing of a preborn human being into something happy, funny, or spiritual, rather than the tragedy that it is.<\/p>\n

A recent op-ed in Jezebel written by abortion advocate Danielle Campoamor\u00a0complained<\/a> that abortion doesn’t always have to be so “heavy,” and that it can be an act of joy, happiness, or self-love. Unsurprisingly, the article cited the deeply flawed Turnaway Study<\/a>, claiming it “proved” that women don’t feel regret over abortion \u2014 just relief. But the researchers of that study used a biased sample, with only 27% of the thousands of women invited actually agreeing to participate. Participation then dropped even further, to just 17% in the study\u2019s final year \u2014 meaning the study cannot possibly<\/em> represent the majority of post-abortive women. The women who did<\/em> participate were also recruited specifically by the abortion industry itself, and even still, less than 60%<\/a> of them responded to the survey five years later. This makes it impossible to know how many of these women later regretted their abortions, and may signal that they actually had negative feelings surrounding their abortions since they were unwilling to discuss it.<\/p>\n

Jezebel is far from alone in trying to convince people that abortion is anything other than what it actually is. Here are some examples of how the deliberate killing of innocent children is warped and twisted into something positive:<\/p>\n

Abortion as love<\/h3>\n

A common refrain from abortion advocates is that abortion isn’t an act of killing \u2014 somehow, taking a life is supposed to be seen as an act of kindness or love.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbortion is an act of love. Abortion is freedom.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 Texas abortionist Ghazaleh Moayedi<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cTo Amy, the odds work out if this guy that she\u2019s actually in love with could change. And when she makes the phone call [to schedule the abortion], I think she realized Dan\u2019s not changing. That he\u2019s a sex addict, not the guy she needs him to be and definitely not the guy that a child would need him to be. It\u2019s a motherly moment<\/strong> for her to realize that, and there\u2019s this beautiful acceptance of finally seeing Dan for who he is. And there\u2019s almost an instantaneous acceptance that there are other alternatives for life that might be better.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“There is no Mother\u2019s Day card to celebrate abortion. There are Mother\u2019s Day cards to celebrate giving hugs, wiping noses, and kissing boo-boos \u2014 actions that are seen as the core of how a mother expresses love for her children. For my patients who were not parents, and did not want to be at that moment, or who never want to be a parent, I recognize their abortions as an act of intentional motherhood<\/strong>. Choosing when to parent is an act of love. For my patients that were already parenting, I feel the deep love they had both for the children they had and for the pregnancies they were ending. Choosing an abortion is an act of love.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Abortion as religion<\/h3>\n

“I do have my moments, when my indignation is comparable to what Jesus felt when he threw out the moneychangers from the temple. I feel that particularly when people who oppose abortion are straight-out bullying women.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 Abortionist Willie Parker<\/a><\/p>\n

“For the thousands of people I\u2019ve cared for, abortion is a blessing.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 Texas abortionist\u00a0Ghazaleh Moayedi<\/a><\/p>\n

“The human body fends off most infections and cancers, but not all. It spontaneously heals most broken bones and closes many wounds but not all. Similarly, it spontaneously aborts most problem pregnancies, but not all. Nature tends to abort pregnancies where there are problems with cell division or fetal development, where there is little chance for a fetus to become a healthy, thriving person. Through medical or surgical abortion, as through every other medical procedure, doctors and healers extend the work of nature \u2014 of God, if you will \u2014 to promote health and wellbeing. By ending pregnancies that don\u2019t have a good chance to turn into thriving children and adults, they are \u2014 literally or metaphorically \u2014 doing God\u2019s work<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“The protesters say they\u2019re opposed to abortion because they\u2019re Christian. It\u2019s hard for them to accept that I do abortions because I\u2019m a Christian.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 Abortionist\u00a0Willie Parker<\/a><\/p>\n

“As a clergyperson who discovered my call to ministry within a Planned Parenthood, it was a no-brainer. There are so few of us who are people of faith who are willing to be bold and audacious about supporting reproductive freedom because of our faith.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 Rev. Katey Zeh<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYou know how my abortion made me feel? Very powerful. You know how people say you can\u2019t play God? I walked out of there being like, \u2018Move over Morgan Freeman, I am God!\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 Comedian Michelle Wolf<\/a><\/p>\n

Everyone seems to assert they know what god thinks, so have at it. God performs way more abortions than I do, so there\u2019s that.<\/em><\/p>\n
