Vice President Kamala Harris and Planned Parenthood abortionist Colleen McNicholas were recently spotlighted by Teen Vogue \u2014 whose target audience is minors aged 12 to 17 \u2014 in a conversation promoting abortion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harris and McNicholas met in apparent commemoration of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization<\/em> decision, which was handed down on June 24, 2022, overturning Roe v. Wade<\/em>. McNicholas \u2014\u00a0chief medical officer for Planned Parenthood for the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri and head of the Planned Parenthood mega-facility<\/a> just across the Missouri\/Illinois border in Fairview Heights, Illinois \u2014 complained about pro-life laws in states like Missouri, which protect preborn children from abortion.<\/p>\n

“Abortion is an issue that touches so many people,” McNicholas began, though she neglected to address the people most adversely affected by it: the preborn children killed in each and every abortion procedure.<\/p>\n

She continued by bemoaning Missouri’s trigger law, which protects nearly all preborn children from abortion, though it includes exceptions in cases of medical emergencies. “Physicians are here to help,” McNicholas said. “It’s a difficult place to be in, to contemplate, you know… do I help this person, this one person in front of me, and risk going to jail, and then not being able to help many other people, or, you know, serve my family? How terrible it feels to sit across from a patient, to know the right thing for them, to have the skill set to do it, but then have to turn around and call the hospital lawyers.”<\/p>\n

\"Target<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Teen Vogue did not bother to include the background of McNicholas’ own abortion facility, widely considered to be one of the most dangerous<\/a> in the country. Reproductive Health Services Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region (RHS) has injured numerous women, with examples including causing hemorrhaging during their abortions, fainting, seizures, and a stroke. A Senate investigation also found multiple<\/em> instances of women having to return to RHS as many as five times<\/em> for a single abortion procedure to be properly completed. Women were also specifically instructed by RHS not<\/em> to call 911 if they experienced abortion-related complications once they were at home.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Missouri state inspectors cited RHS for 39 classes of violations, involving over 200 incidents, 111 of which were related to failure to provide a safe and sanitary environment.<\/p>\n

The Senate report<\/a> of RHS \u2014 McNicholas’ Missouri facility \u2014 was extremely critical<\/a>:<\/p>\n

[P]lanned Parenthood\u2019s own internal files reveal a shocking callousness toward vulnerable young women who seek their services. In fact, the procedures outlined in the materials reviewed may very well constitute outright medical malpractice… All of this indicates that Planned Parenthood is far more worried about the reputation, business model and public relations efforts than they are about the women in their care. It is difficult to conceive of any other organization, let alone an organization that holds itself out as providing women\u2019s health services, being so recklessly indifferent to the health of their patients as to put such directives as those listed above in print for the use of their employees.<\/em><\/p>\n

VP Harris, meanwhile, went on to reiterate that the Biden administration’s goal is to make abortion a federal right.<\/p>\n

Pro-abortion politicians in Congress have repeatedly tried<\/a> to introduce bills codifying Roe<\/em>, without success. The Women\u2019s Health Protection Act (WHPA) has been condemned for its extreme position on abortion; it would have allowed abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, eliminated all state-level protections for preborn children, and mandated that states could not pass restrictions on abortion prior to “viability” \u2014 an arbitrary point not determined by gestational age but by the abortionist. It also would have eliminated conscience protections, as well as all standards and regulations abortion facilities are currently held to.<\/p>\n

Despite the claims of Harris and McNicholas, few Americans<\/a> support this kind of pro-abortion extremism. Women, and the preborn children they carry, deserve so much better than a death sentence for one and a lifetime of pain for the other.<\/p>\n
