Cecile Richards: Men Should Shut Up About Abortion, “I’m So Sick of Them Telling Us What to Do”

Sexism and abortion go hand in hand. While Planned Parenthood regularly aborts little boy and girls, it preaches women’s rights and complains about a phony war on women that pro-life advocate are supposedly waging because they bother to care about human life before and after birth.

Last week, Cecile Richards, the president and CEO of the nation’s biggest abortion business, said she finds her hope elsewhere: in women who brag about killing their babies in abortions. Now, the abortion company director is complaining about men who want to protect women and unborn children from the horrors and dangers of abortions.

In a new interview, Cecile Richards responded to moves from pro-life advocates to ban abortions and restore legal protection for unborn children and support for those bans from elected officials who happen to be men.

“I take them very seriously,” Richards said of the threats to make abortion illegal again. “But honestly I’m just so sick of men telling us what to do with our bodies, and I would include Donald Trump in that category.“

Keep up with the latest pro-life news and information on Twitter.

So what about pro-life women like Carly Fiorina who oppose abortion? Do they have a right to speak up according to Planned Parenthood’s free speech police chief? Apparently not. From the report:

Richards criticized Trump, Cruz, and former candidate Carly Fiorina for employing “heightened rhetoric” around abortion to win points on the campaign trail. “The people of America don’t like when politicians put their own personal politics ahead of the health and lives of women,” she said.

Richards is hoping for a Supreme Court with a majority of women (so long as they’re not pro-life women).

“I was so proud to be there with three women on the Supreme Court. I don’t know if you all can appreciate what it has meant to finally begin to have some equity on the court and actually have the court begin to look more like America. We need to do more of that, and I can’t wait until we have a ninth judge,” she said. “Wouldn’t it be great if we had a female majority on the Supreme Court?” she added, to applause.

Heaven forbid that a pro-life man replace Justice Antonin Scalia. There’s no room for them in Richards’ sexist version of America where only people with certain body parts matter.

SHUT UP RICHARDS! You do not speak for me. A real man, fights and protects his child from murder. A real man keeps a woman and her child safe. A real man does not encourage or force a woman to have an abortion. A man who sicks up for an unborn baby is a hero. A man who wants it aborted is a coward.

How about Women shutting up about Foreign Policy, seeing that Men are the ones that fight the wars?

She may run in 2018 against Senator Cruz. If Wendy Davis defers to her; who knows what Texans will do by then.

Men have a right to speak up when someone is about to murder their child.

So men should have no say in the abortion decision but should be responsible if the woman has the child? That is such hypocrisy.

Both would be parents. Both should have a say. Cecile doesn’t believe the father should have a CHOICE.

Can you even imagine if a man had said - “ Women should shut up about men beating women. They have no right to tell us what to do, and how we think, and why we do things.”

“Men have a OBLIGATION to speak up when someone is about to murder their child.”

FTFY.

The very heart of “the women’s movement” which is probably the most destructive and deadly occurrence in modern culture.

Get back to me when you're ready to talk about court-ordered and enforced child support, and all your "choices".

So you want the choice to a) screw around, kill the baby, and spike the carcass, or b) screw around, have the baby (with no input from the baby daddy), go to court, and saddle dad with child support payments for the next 18+ years.

And you want the men to sit down, shut up, and have no say whatsoever in your "choice".

Hypocrite, women have been telling men what to do since the days of Adam. :)

A man defends the weak.

If men should stay out of the women’s choices with their bodies, women should stay out of men’s wallets. They should stay out of the taxpayer’s wallets too.

Cecile makes the mistake of thinking that women support unrestricted abortion.
