Freedom.&#8221; Freedom is the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-choice-out-industry-markets-abortion-freedom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new mantra<\/a> of abortion advocates who no longer want &#8220;safe, legal, and rare,&#8221; but are promoting abortion as a right and a freedom <em>necessary to women&#8217;s equality<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to mention the women who stood on stage at the DNC and misled Americans about abortion \u2014 each of their stories <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/four-women-pro-life-dnc-fact-check\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fact-checked<\/a> to show that abortion is not health care, nor is it necessary. Yet Winfrey kept the confusion over pro-life laws going as she claimed the women shared their stories &#8220;for one reason. And that is to keep what happened to them from happening to anybody else.&#8221; She continued:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>[B]ecause if you do not have autonomy over this, over this [pointing to her body], <strong>if you cannot control when and how you choose to bring your children into this world and how they are raised and supported, there is no American dream.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>The women and men who are battling to keep us from going back to a time of desperation and shame and stone cold fear, they are <strong>the new freedom fighters<\/strong>.

Thank you, because I know it\u2019s been hard for you. It was hard for you as a young girl having a baby, in Mississippi. No education. No training. No skills. <strong>Seventeen, you get pregnant with this baby. Lots of people would have told you to give that baby away. Lots of people would\u2019ve told you to abort that baby. You didn\u2019t do that.<\/strong> I know that was hard. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>I want you to know that no matter what, I know that you always did the best you knew how to do. <strong>And look how it turned out<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The idea that children stand in the way of the American dream is inherently wrong. Children are who the American dream was built <em>for<\/em>. Children are the people adults are building a brighter future <em>for<\/em>. Abortion kills innocent human beings who have the same right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and the American dream that their parents do \u2014 that with hard work and determination <em>anything is possible<\/em>. Abortion, however, says it is <em>impossible<\/em> for mothers to achieve their dreams, and it acts to steal their American dream from them.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, Oprah&#8217;s own mother valued her daughter&#8217;s life more than her own so-called &#8220;freedom&#8221; \u2014 and now, Oprah is using her own successful life to <em>promote the killing of other women&#8217;s sons and daughters<\/em>. If Oprah is grateful to be alive today, why would she seek to deny others the opportunity to live?<\/p>\n<p>Abortion tells women they must <em>kill their children<\/em> in order to be successful or <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/international-womens-day-abortion-not-equality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">equal to men<\/a>. Men and women are inherently equal \u2014 and so are children. And those who fight for the ability to legally kill children in the womb aren&#8217;t &#8220;freedom fighters&#8221; because they aren&#8217;t fighting for legitimate freedom; they&#8217;re fighting for literal death for other human beings.<\/p>\n<p>Labeling death for innocent human beings as &#8220;freedom&#8221; is about as Orwellian as it gets.<\/p>\n<p>To tell women that to reach their goals or realize their dreams they must <em>deny their children&#8217;s inherent equality<\/em> and <em>sacrifice the lives of their children<\/em> is reprehensible. It&#8217;s comparable to anyone who believes or has believed they could not succeed without breaking the backs of other men or women. It would have been more expensive and more difficult for slave owners to run plantations without slaves, but that didn&#8217;t justify slavery or give slave owners the right or freedom to steal others&#8217; inherent freedom, own other people, or harm them so they could succeed \u2014 as they did through beating, <a href=\"https:\/\/emergingcivilwar.com\/2019\/04\/26\/what-was-so-wrong-with-slavery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dismemberment<\/a>, whipping, and killing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C-_zEWJxRny\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C-_zEWJxRny\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Live Action (@liveactionorg)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<em>No woman owns any child<\/em> \u2014 in or out of her womb.

By the time she was 17, she was homeless, pregnant again, and heavily using drugs. A second abortion followed and then she overdosed. When she was in the hospital and learned she was pregnant again, she heard her daughter&#8217;s heartbeat. Still homeless and afraid, she chose life. &#8220;My daughter inspired me to reconcile with my parents. I attained my GED, and got financial assistance while I attended beauty schools,&#8221; she said. Choosing life for her child motivated her to <em>chase her dreams<\/em>.

That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.&#8221; Yet, 30 years later, abortion is still destroying the lives of men, women, and children and destroying peace in their hearts and in the heart of America.<\/p>\n<p>Winfrey also noted in her speech, &#8220;We are Americans.
