Touré: Thank God for abortion
Hot Air ^ | January 28, 2013 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 01/28/2013 5:08:36 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Katie Pavlich is aghast, calling it the “worst” piece of commentary in the week of the 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade:

During a segment last week, Toure went on what he called an abortion rant in which he thanked God and country abortion was there to “save him” at a time when taking care of a baby and becoming a father would have been inconvenient for him. He also refers to abortion as a “safety net.” …

Got that? Toure was willing to end the life of an unborn child so his own life could remain convenient and less responsible. He’s proud of it, too. His argument is similar to that of the one made in Salon last week titled, “So what if abortion ends a life?”

Frankly, I think Touré is a little confused here. It’s easy to support abortion as a “safety net” if one doesn’t believe in God. That reduces human life to its utilitarian value, which makes it easier (although hardly automatic) to assume that abortion has no consequences worth considering past the immediate. Plenty of atheists oppose abortion, too, on the basis of innate human rights to life, but at least support for abortion would make sense from a perspective that excludes God...

Thanking God for the death of a pre-born child....

That’s a special kind of stupid.

Now why get on the man for that.

90% of the women who have abortions do it for convenience.
Why should a man be any different?

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you wrote for Rolling Stone magazine. But I repeat myself.

Someone should demo the downside of taking a life by performing a retroactive abortion on him...

(not calling for violence, just pointing out the hypocrisy of his statement)

I had to stop it half way through...it’s too soon after supper. I assume this guy ia a US citizen, so he is surely a Democrat. You have to expect such commentary from the Death Cult.

Is Toure his real name? If so, he is from West Africa, most likely Guinea.

Touré was born Touré Neblett in Boston on March 20, 1971. His father died before he was born.

I had to look him up hoping for one ray of hope - that due to his selfishness the gene pool wouldn't be polluted with his DNA.

Unfortunately it's not to be. He has a wife and 2 kids...

kids, if your mother is a liberal, she only loves you because it’s convenient.

if she wanted to go on a vacation, she would’ve tossed you out like last nights garbage

Just shows how narcissistic the pro-abortion activists are. It is always all about THEM, and they don’t care that a baby dies in order for them to get what they want.

Who does he think he’s kidding? If that flaming homo knocked a woman up, then I’m a monkey’s uncle.
