"Beatriz" nearly died waiting to be "allowed" to induce her pregnancy early so that El Salvador could save face and say they never let abortions happen, ever. Now, months later, still suffering from the effects the pregnancy had on her kidneys and lupus, advocates share some of the worst "help" that anti-choice advocates trying to force her to continue carrying her ancephelatic pregnancy to term offered:
In an on-the-ground interview with RH Reality Check in El Salvador, Morena Herrera, president of the Agrupación, said “the most disgusting and inhumane” episode occurred when the anti-choice group brought Beatriz a basket of baby clothes, including small knitted caps to cover the head of the anencephalic fetus she was carrying.The fetus died a few hours after birth, just as medical professionals all agreed it would, lacking a significant part of its brain. Beatriz is still recovering from the damage to her own health of being forced to remain pregnant with a baby that would not survive, as well as being torn from her young son during that period.
Antis claim no one would ever be denied an abortion if their lives were really in jeopardy, but obviously, they were lying. What other lies do they tell? Well, that no one would ever be investigated over a miscarriage, like this woman in Kentucky is currently being. Or that women would never be jailed if they do carry to term and give up their newborns in safe haven laws, like this woman in Alabama may be if they ever identify her.
So why all the lies? Why the deceit? Because they are on a mission from God, as Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant explains.
"[A]s a Christian, I say, 'Lord, Lord, I think I understand what you would like me to do as governor when it comes to the sanctity of life.' In fact, I think it's best I can, to interject myself and to try and stop that horrible procedure whenever I can."
Speaking of God (or, more likely, for God), it's 40 Days for Life, the nearly six weeks of "peaceful prayer" in front of clinics that coincidentally in the fall ends right before election day. So far, with two "40 Days" events, that means nearly one quarter of the year is spent dealing with fully coordinated anti-choice presence at clinics (as opposed to all the other times they are there). A look at the number of religious groups getting involved in the Massachusetts Supreme Court buffer zone case, however, shows that the intent is to be there always, and as close as humanly possible.
They say they are just praying. But the buffer zone law is a test to see how much contact with patients will be allowed as freedom of religion. That contact will spread beyond patients and clinics as well, and will become less about prayer and more about in your face protests and graphic images. This will become an everyday appearance. As you can see, minors are not exempt from their tactics.
Speaking of which, think the assault on Albuquerque is over? Not a chance, as Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust announce they will be returning for more demonstrations in time for the 20 week abortion ban vote. pregnancy to term offered:
