In a recent Huffington Post editorial, feminist leader Terry O’Neill described her desire to see even more abortions in America as a convoluted way to reduce the number of infant deaths. Comparing the murderous act of abortion to the use of contraceptives, the National Organization for Women president called it “essential health care that saves lives.”
With the expressed purpose of ending a new life, incredulous sources like Life News wondered how O’Neill could reconcile her seemingly incongruous opinion with the true nature of abortion.
“How does O’Neill get to the conclusion promised in the title, that ‘abortion care’ saves lives?” asked Life News writer Matt Yonke. “Easy! She ignores 50% of the people involved in every abortion.”
The Blaze contributor Darrell Cheney penned a point-by-point refutation of O’Neill’s points, concluding her overarching argument “is completely unfounded.”
O’Neill cites low birth weight and “maternal depression and anxiety” as reasons unintended pregnancies should end with the death of an unborn child.
The pro-abortion activist continued by lamenting the fact that “more infants are not surviving to their first birthday,” a phenomenon she chalks up to “states like Texas and North Carolina” that “restrict access” to abortion mills.
On the same day her editorial was published, O’Neill retweeted several pro-abortion comments to her personal Twitter page.
As Yonke pointed out, O’Neill’s repetitive use of the phrase “abortion care” should be seen as an attempt to normalize a fringe belief that killing humans in the womb is somehow akin to healthcare.
“Don’t let the phrase ‘abortion care’ go by unchallenged if it’s used in your presence,” he urged his readers. “All that’s required for a pernicious phrase like ‘abortion care’ to slip into the American lexicon is for you and me to say nothing.”
