The Democratic National Convention (DNC) is currently in progress in Chicago, Illinois \u2014 and from the beginning, championing abortion has been a main focus. In addition to promoting legal abortion within the convention, Planned Parenthood parked its mobile bus near the DNC, offering<\/a> free on-site abortions and vasectomies, as well as giant inflatable IUDs.<\/p>\n

Inside the convention, several women \u2014 who have all campaigned against pro-life laws \u2014 spoke about how they were allegedly harmed because of obstacles they faced in killing their preborn children.<\/p>\n

The theme of “Trump’s abortion bans” was commonly heard among the speeches, despite the fact that Donald Trump has never enacted any “abortion bans,” nor has he advocated for<\/a> federal restrictions on abortion. The reason why state laws protecting human beings from abortion are being referred to by some as “Trump’s abortion bans” is because his two Supreme Court appointees voted with the majority in the Dobbs v. Jackson<\/em> decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade<\/em>. This allowed states to enact their own laws either restricting or liberalizing abortion. (Oddly enough, logic would dictate that if the DNC believes state “bans” are because of Trump, then states which have passed laws allowing abortion up to birth<\/a> are also<\/em> because of Trump.)<\/p>\n

None<\/em> of the women mentioned below who spoke at the DNC needed to have their children intentionally killed by induced abortion.<\/p>\n

Kate Cox<\/h3>\n

Cox is a Texas woman who sought an abortion after her preborn child was diagnosed with Trisomy 18, or Edwards syndrome. She unsuccessfully sued the state of Texas<\/a> to be permitted to undergo a dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortion and ultimately obtained one outside the state. Earlier this summer, Cox announced she was pregnant again<\/a>, this time with a baby who does not have a disability.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m Kate Cox, and I love being a mom. I have two beautiful children, and my husband and I have always wanted a third but when I got pregnant, doctors told us our baby would never survive, and if I didn\u2019t need an abortion, it would put a future pregnancy at risk,\u201d Cox said at the DNC on Tuesday<\/a>. \u201cBut Trump didn\u2019t care and because of his abortion bans and I had to flee my home. There\u2019s nothing pro-family about abortion bans. There\u2019s nothing pro-life about letting women suffer and even die today because I found a way to access abortion care.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was Cox’s “abortion care.” This is what was done to her daughter.<\/p>\n
