From Tennessee comes the sickening story<\/a> of a 31-year-old woman, Anna Yocca, who faces attempted murder charges<\/a> for trying to abort her 23-week-old preborn child with a coat hanger. The baby survived – due solely to fears for her own health that led her to go to an emergency room – but he sustained lung, eye, and heart damage that will require medical support for the rest of his life, plus additional health problems that will arise as he grows up.<\/p>\n

A mother\u2019s selfish attempt to crudely kill her own son directly caused an innocent child to suffer grievous injuries that will plague him for the rest of his life. We don\u2019t know exactly how debilitating his conditions will be, but at the very least pain and limitations will loom over a childhood that should have been filled with love, laughter, learning, and playing, thanks to the very person who was supposed to comfort and protect him.<\/p>\n

So who does the abortion cult have sympathy for? The perpetrator, of course.<\/p>\n

Jill Filipovic\u2019s takeaway<\/a> was, \u201cThink women won’t go to jail if abortion is outlawed? Think again.\u201d At ThinkProgress, Alex Zielinski spins<\/a> her savage attack into a sob story about \u201canti-abortion state legislators to punish women for seeking abortion,\u201d complete with reproductive \u201cjustice\u201d advocate Cherisse Scott hysterically proclaiming, \u201cthe Tennessee legislature is responsible for the coat hanger; however, Ms. Yocca is on trial and that is unacceptable.\u201d Addicting Info\u2019s Bob Cesca declares<\/a> Yocca is the one denied \u201ca human right,\u201d that \u201cfetal death laws\u201d\u2014not trying to stab a child to death with a metal object\u2014\u201chave turned desperate women into criminals and fugitives.\u201d Democracy for America Senior Campaign Manager Robert Cruickshank even said<\/a> this nightmare \u201cis why I am pro-choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then again, it\u2019s not as if every<\/em> pro-choice reaction glossed over the matter of a child left scarred and suffering\u2026 one Jezebel commenter, for instance, wondered<\/a> \u201cWHY would they resuscitate the foetus?\u201d Another answered, \u201cBecause it was a viable person at that point, independently existing in the world and outside this woman\u2019s womb\u201d (though sadly not connecting the dots raised by that admission), and a third ghoulishly chimed in, \u201cThis was a botched abortion. Finish the abortion! That is the medical intervention required here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, just finish off the little burden. Make the problem Mom\u2019s \u201cchoice\u201d created disappear. It\u2019s the pro-choice way.<\/p>\n

Most abortions allow pro-aborts to indulge the comforting lie that it\u2019s not violence by keeping the victim out of view. One woman goes in to Planned Parenthood to have her \u201cpregnancy ended,\u201d and one woman comes out. We prevented a birth, that\u2019s all. She chose what to do with her body. We just scooped out some products of conception. Nothing to worry about. Do you see any babies here? I sure don\u2019t<\/em>. It\u2019s literally just adopting \u201cout of sight, out of mind\u201d as a moral framework.<\/p>\n

But sometimes things go wrong. Sometimes the babies come out alive<\/a>, and the abortionists have to stretch \u201cthe evidence doesn\u2019t leave this uterus\u201d to \u201cthe evidence doesn\u2019t leave this room.\u201d Setting an infant into a closet to starve to death is less ideal than dumping some abstract-looking remains into a jar, but at least the outside world still doesn\u2019t see it.<\/p>\n

And then sometimes things go even more wrong, and a baby comes out alive in the presence of real doctors who actually take seriously their oath to care for the vulnerable. Then the cult has a real problem: a tangible victim whose personhood can no longer be denied. A living, breathing, baby boy, who exists outside of and separate from his mother\u2019s womb, and yet somehow still endures real, concrete harm because of his mother\u2019s exercise of \u201cchoice.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an instant, pretending the only thing abortion destroys is lost potential<\/a> no longer works. Suddenly the lie is laid bare for all to see, causing people in the real world to state the obvious truths most instinctively understand when unencumbered by partisan dogma:<\/p>\n
