A Message to Pro-Choicers: Do Your Research on the History of Abortion

hello facebook hello from what is. supposed to be maternity leave i'm. supposed to not be doing social media. and enjoying these last two weeks before. i give birth to my daughter i'm huge. i feel like i'm huge at least um very. exciting times but obviously i wanted to. come back and just do a video talking. about today talking about this historic. decision and talking. about all of these protests that are. going to follow which are quite. meaningless because the decision has. already been made.

but you know we live in a time where. people think that throwing temper. tantrums and they don't get what they. want is appropriate i want to make this. video particularly to women that are. pro-choice and i hope that if you are. pro-choice you'll listen to this with an. open heart and if you're pro-life that. you will just simply share it in the. hopes that somebody who is pro-choice. does see it um i have always been very. sympathetic and empathetic to women that. are pro-choice because i used to be. pro-choice for the majority of my life i. was pro-choice.

until i was 25 years old almost maybe a. little before a little after before i. got into politics and started really. doing my own research and kind of. getting out of the what i would describe. to be the cultural and the educational. bubble. meaning that i went to public school my. entire life um there is one side of this. political argument that is presented at. public schools and it is pro-choice um i. went to off to college and took a. feminism course and there was one side. that is presented when you go off to.

university and it is pro-choice. the. concept of my body my choice a phrase. that i don't even know where it came. from. was supplanted into my head before i. even had a thought or an understanding. of my own i never learned about adoption. in school i actually grew up in a time. when i learned that it was a clump of. cells and it wasn't even a baby and so. when i went to college you know girls. that i was very close with got abortions. and. i know what these women went through and. i find the arguments that come.

from the pro-life side to be. just sometimes not even arguments and. just very um unsympathetic to the fact. that women are actively learning that. this is a choice they're actively. learning that this isn't a baby um and. when you say to those young women that. you're a murderer right you're just a. murderer it's not helpful because you're. not understanding that these women are. brainwashed i was brainwashed for years. throughout school intentionally by an. education system by programs that were.

put into place by planned parenthood. beginning in the 1970s to believe that. it was just a clump of cells and that. having a lot of sexual activity was fine. as a young female and that uh you know. abortion was no different than like a. more drastic form of birth control not. only that but i learned that it was the. responsible thing to do so i've always. tried to understand that mindset of a. woman because i i know these women that. went and got abortions and i know that. these are not terrible human beings that. are murderers.

what i say to pro-choicers if you're. still pro-choice is i want you to be. realistic about why you're pro-choice. and i want you to be sincere in your. arguments of why you're pro-choice right. it is foolish to say that this is about. protecting women's rights as i said i. have about six friends that have gotten. abortions and out of six of them five of. them. were not doing it because it was their. choice but were doing it because they. had pressure from boyfriends because. they had pressure from parents or.

because they were scared these are women. in their most vulnerable states that. they could possibly be in they're not. doing this because they think oh i just. don't want to have a kid they're doing. this because pressure is coming from all. around them they have teachers that are. telling them that their lives will be. ruined if they have a child too soon and. they don't have the economic standing to. have a child in many circumstances they. have boyfriends who never wanted the. children and who are demanding that they. get an abortion i have been in. situations where. people in my family have had boyfriends. that have broken into their homes. demanding that they get an abortion.

domestic violence um follows a lot of. these situations you have seen. circumstances in the news recently where. a woman in philadelphia was shot at her. baby shower by her baby daddy because he. didn't want to have the child this is. the more typical circumstances of women. getting an abortion it is something that. is done out of fear uh these women are. terrified when they go to these clinics. these women are crying when they come. out of these clinics these women are not. doing this as some form of form of. freedom so i wish that if you are going. to be legitimate about the pro-choice.

movement you would acknowledge that this. is not something that is about. reproductive freedom or helping women my. second hope is that you would. acknowledge the true history of this in. talking about how this benefits men and. their ability to demand of women that. they get an abortion that they take this. option many women who are scared and who. are vulnerable that you recognize that. this decision was made by men entirely. made by men the supreme court decision. was passed by seven white men it is. completely foolish for people to be a.

pro-choicer and to. pretend that this is setting women's. rights back when women were never able. to speak on this issue in the first. place it was decided by men the. textbooks were then written by men you. know and orchestrated by men to convince. them that this was the right thing to do. and women are still living under this. delusion that somehow women's rights are. being reversed when these were never. rights that were decided by women. including the woman the woman that was. at the. core of rory reid in the first place who. reversed her decision and. you know ended her life saying that she.

was pro-life and felt that this decision. was wrong um that was made on her behalf. so you can look into the history of that. one of the things that another thing. that really bothers me. about the pro-choice movement um is this. failure to recognize the history and you. see a lot right now. across social media people are saying. this is a racist decision i'm. specifically calling out amy schumer who. alleged that this was what slave. uh slave holders would have wanted first.

and foremost i'm i think people are. really getting tired i know i certainly. have been tired for a long time but i'm. hopeful that after the black lives. matter riots that black america is. waking up to this thing that when white. privileged women want something they. somehow make it they say well if i don't. get it it's racist um that's a. ridiculous circumstance if you are going. to put on your profile please donate to. planned parenthood um because this. decision has been overturned then i. expect you as a pro-choicer to recognize. the true history of planned parenthood.

to recognize that it was created by a. eugenicist. that the entire concept of abortion was. created during the progressive era a. woman you know largely led by margaret. sanger at the time that they were also. performing. appendectomies to black people to make. sure that they couldn't give birth. who wanted to use abortion as a. mechanism to get rid of undesirables so. if they thought that a certain class of. people should not procreate and you can. go back and you could read margaret. sanger's writings you know they were.

they were considered unfits in society. black people they did not want them to. procreate and have families so they. encouraged them uh to get abortions and. then told that this was the right. decision for them to make it wasn't just. black people by the way uh during that. time it was largely. people that were from uh southern europe. italians were considered undesirables um. as well as uh the east of europe as well. that were coming into the country and. they and they were fearful that if these. people began to. mate and have children that it would.

drive down. the nordic race and there was a book at. that time that was the most popular book. which was written by madison grant and. it was called the passing of the great. race the entire abortion industry was. created around the idea of eugenicism. but it is it is a planned parenthood is. a racist organization and they have been. successful you can't just say oh well it. changed going forward she wrote down. what her plans were what what her models. were why abortion needed to be taking.

place that you had people that weren't. worthy of having children to be able to. reproduce you can't just magically. pretend that didn't happen and say oh. well well then i learned in school but. now it's my body my choice acknowledge. the true history the true abhorrent. history of what the abortion industry is. what it was intended to do and what it. has largely been successful in doing i. think margaret sanger is one of the most. successful uh progressives that have. ever has ever lived because she set out. to do what exactly what has been. accomplished um over 18 million black.

babies have been aborted the black. population would be double today um had. it had it not been for planned. parenthood had not been for abortion um. and the truth is that planned parenthood. clinics are. 70 of them are in minority neighborhoods. now you may find that fact checkers on. the internet will say that that's not. true and that they looked at a study and. saw and this is what they will say and. this is how tricky they are because they. want to obscure the truth that the. majority of places uh that perform.

abortion performing service services are. not primarily in minority neighborhoods. specifically i'm talking about planned. parenthood clinics when you say abortion. performing services you're talking about. every single hospital and they try to. widen that map and pretend that oh well. no see look hospitals are also here and. here and all these clinics are here no. planned parenthood clinics the majority. of them are in majority minority. neighborhoods and that again is. something that was intended again i am. not going to fault you if you hear all. of these things and you say well i'm.

still pro-choice it doesn't matter but. it you you have to be honest about your. arguments be sincere in your arguments. don't pretend this is about a woman's. choice this is about a woman being peer. pressured don't pretend this is this is. not a life this is another thing of. learning that it was a clump of cells. pregnant now. um and during my first pregnancy when i. was seven weeks and i went in and. because they have this you know 5d. technology where you can zoom in on the. baby i saw my baby's arms dancing and. his legs dancing and i broke down crying. um.

just because of the elation and but also. a quiet sadness and realizing that my. entire life i had been lied to. throughout the education system that i. was unintentionally raised up in an. educational cult that wanted me to be. the opposite of what a woman should be i. are i believe firmly that our role as. women. um is to defend children is to raise. children is to love children to nurture. children uh to protect them from evil in. this world and when women are out on the.

front lines demanding a right to end the. life. of children that they perceive to be. inconvenient um. we we have to accept that we have been. brainwashed into a cult that's it and it. is difficult for me to even speak this. now. as i'm due to give birth in two weeks. because. i think. to feel this child cooking inside of me. to feel this little girl coming inside. of me and then to hear women say that. they believe that this isn't a life that. this isn't a life that should be valued.

to already know that i know my. daughter's personality like i knew my. son's personality in the womb i knew. exactly who my son was it's it's so. spiritual it is so above politics this. connection that women have with children. um and it starts long before you're. holding a child in your stomach it. starts when your kid and you are holding. a baby doll and you're you're nurturing. it it starts when you watch little. toddler girls taking care of their. little brothers and being so careful. um it is it is above politics it's it's. it's who we are as spiritual beings and.

so many of us have that spirituality. systematically removed from us in the. school system. before we even get a chance to form our. own thoughts again i feel like i'm. talking to you as a former member of. that cult of pro-choiceness and uh and i. and i do say this empathetically because. i think it's sad when you look around. and you see so many women that don't. realize that. um. fighting for life is is all that matters.

when we're talking about the life of a. child and the chance to live and to to. really understand that using extreme. arguments to to say oh but what if you. know if a woman is raped then this. should be you know we should only be. arguing according to women that are. raped well let me tell you something of. the six friends that i know that. had an abortion. nobody was raped you know people were. having unprotected sex because what's. the point of practicing safe sex when. you're being systematically taught in. the school system that doesn't matter. you can just go get an abortion it's. easy it's become a form of birth control.

and we need to acknowledge that honestly. and openly that the reason these. abortions are happening is not because. tons of women are getting raped it's. because tons of women are being. irresponsible along with their partners. and because tons of men don't want to. raise up and be responsible and they. just say to women go get an abortion so. many of these women are affected long. after they get these abortions i've. received tons of letters from these. women and i want to welcome those women. to the pro-life movement like you can. change your mind you you can have had an. abortion and you can be a spokesperson.

for the pro-life movement you don't have. to permanently be a person that pickets. for these extreme um. uh organizations that demand a right to. abort a child nine months in the womb. and that's what's going to happen. unfortunately in closing what i think is. going to happen now obviously is first. and foremost it will be sent down to the. states women that want to get abortions. will cross state lines. women that are living in liberal states. and. governments bodies in these liberal. states like new york city will are going.

to pass very extreme abortion laws. probably until the kids three years old. and say it's your your child your choice. and then the opposite will happen in red. states they will ban abortions and i. think what will be interesting will be. to look at the data you know it will be. interesting to look at red states that. choose to ban abortion outright and to. see whether or not it curbs teen. pregnancies whether or not just knowing. that it's not an option makes women. pursue safer sex you know makes women. say actually okay if the outcome of this. is going to be a child i need to be very.

serious about the partners that i have. we've become. such a promiscuous society um that. people don't take their relationship. seriously at all um and they feel that. it's it's up to the government to take. care of their that when they make poor. decisions take care of it you know um. and it it has contributed to the. circumstance that we're in today we are. honestly uh we are. america is out of control when it comes. to abortion we have abortion policies. that mirror north korea nowhere else in. the world is like this my my husband is.

english he looks at these women in. america and thinks that that are. marching and demanding to trying to kill. supreme court justices and and thinks. that they're rabid and he's correct. something has gone amiss in america it. was time to pull this back and it's time. for us to have more honest and open. conversations so if you are pro-choice i. hope that you um listen and just are. willing to have an open conversation if. you are pro-life i hope that. um you share this video because there. could be someone who is like me and.

doesn't you know has never even. considered any of these points and just. needs to hear a different perspective. that is a bit more empathetic. than being called a murderer so thank. you guys for watching share and i'm. gonna go have this baby.
