The thing I don't get about this thing is that previously, various arguments could be made by the left of supporting abortion while still holding some semblance of moral high ground (as an example, "it's better to abort only three weeks in than to carry to term for a parent who can't properly care for the kid"), but there's absolutely no good argument for this. At all. There's zero way they can justify it. Even pro-abortion people should be utterly against this, and I suspect they probably are, you just don't hear about it. In fact the media has been decidedly mum on this, moreso than should be the case, although since Trump mentioned it directly they're having a tougher time avoiding it.

I've always been pro "right to choose" but Holy shit man there's a limit. If some woman that was whoring around decides she can't raise a baby a month into her pregnancy that's one thing but at least at that point it's just an embryo and it's one less welfare kid in the world. I don't know how anyone can justify sticking a needle into the skull of a fetus a day before it's birthday to kill it. you'd have to feel it kicking and moving inside you for months. Then have to deliver your dead baby after. It's sickening.

They actively promote the Women's March, and have no mention of the Pro- life March, which was 3 times larger. They do this every year. Also, they actively prohibited Gosnell in theaters, although attendance was good. They do not want us to respect life, have and raise strong families, or be aware of medical consequences of abortion.
