<\/div>

Last week, pro-abortion \u201cDemocratic Diva Donna\u201d complained<\/a> that standing \u201cunder the blazing Phoenix sun\u201d was an exasperating \u201csacrifice\u201d she had to make in order to attend the June 6 Inhuman<\/i><\/a> rally, led by Live Action\u2019s \u201cvery attractive and charismatic\u201d founder, Lila Rose. Apparently Miss Diva doesn\u2019t know what the definition of \u201csacrifice\u201d is, but at least now we know where she got her handle from.<\/p>\n

More than 3,500 children are being barbarically aborted<\/a> every single day, and this woman is whining about the sunshine. What a rough life! But really, if Miss Diva wanted to make a point even ten people would consider taking seriously, she should have tried forgetting about the weather and focusing on the real issues she has with us \u201canti-choicers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donna “can’t estimate crowds to save [her] life,” but that didn’t stop her from claiming that the Phoenix Inhuman<\/i> rally hosted \u201caround 150 people,\u201d “some of whom had been bused in.\u201d And about a dozen people had<\/i> been bused into the rally. But they were legislators<\/em> – meaning people who were elected by the citizenry of Arizona. Not exactly anti-choice fringe!\"Phoenix<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, the rally had more than 400 pro-lifers in attendance – including Vanessa Tedesco, a grieving woman who bravely shared her \u201cdubious sob story\u201d of how her abortion decision had injured her. But “screw them,” right? That\u2019s not me talking; it\u2019s a direct quotation from Donna herself, expressing what she thinks of women who regret their abortions.<\/p>\n

Donna referred to Lila Rose as \u201csupposedly an aspiring actress,” “self-possessed” and “a slick con artist.\u201d She went on to describe the crowd as \u201can assemblage of delusional nitwits.\u201d<\/p>\n

This diva reminds me of a mean girl still stuck in high school. She should pick on someone in her own social circle instead of trying to bully one of the most successful and youngest pro-life advocates in the world. And let me point out that if anyone at Live Action ever called an abortion advocate a \u201cdelusional nitwit\u201d or a \u201cself-possessed,\u201d or a \u201cslick con artist\u201d speaking \u201cerrant nonsense,\u201d that member would be severely criticized for using such offensive language.<\/p>\n

Miss Diva, let me just pose this question: if we \u201canti-choicers\u201d are such \u201cnitwits,\u201d then why have we been \u201cso successful at peeling back abortion access\u201d? It is because of the many courageous people who have dedicated their entire lives to ending abortion – not only by striving to protect the rights of the unborn, but also by striving to protect women.<\/p>\n

The great thing about being on the pro-life side is that we have the truth to stand on. We have legitimate statistics on how many women suffer from the aftereffects of abortion; we don\u2019t have to look too hard to find a fraudulent abortionists violently murdering children and brutally hurting women. And we don\u2019t have to fake the gruesome pictures<\/a> of aborted babies.<\/p>\n

Using the ad hominem fallacy to impugn the truth only makes you look like a weak debater. Just because you don\u2019t believe that millions of babies are being slaughtered inside and outside<\/i> the womb, that doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t happening. And this \u201cerrant nonsense\u201d has actually been proven in not just one, but a multitude of investigative videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The hard evidence of the horror of abortion is out there, Miss Diva. Perhaps you should try opening up your eyes instead of your mouth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
