NARAL President: ‘Anti-Abortion Is Anti-American’

Everybody says something stupid and offensive at one time or another. But it takes a special kind of ideologue to turn it into a speech repeated over and over. And that ideologue is NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue. 

We missed it the first time she told a crowd that pro-lifers are “un-American.” That was at a Feb. 4 event in Washington, D.C. marking the pro-abortion group’s 45th anniversary (see video below). But Hogue liked it so much she said it again in San Francisco on March 4, at an event featuring Sandra Fluke, America’s most famous birth control user.

And lest anyone miss Hogue’s eloquence, NARAL tweeted it on March 6: “‘That, my friends, is not anti-abortion -- what it is is anti-American.’ - @ilyseh on current anti-choice efforts in the US.#NARAL45.” Continues after video.

NARAL President: 'Anti-Abortion Is Anti-American

Hogue began her rant by explaining how the Miriam-Webster definition of the word “obsessive” “totally fits” the pro-life movement. In the middle of her speech, Hogue ironically lamented: 

Because what they really care about is telling women and all people for that matter, that it’s their way or the highway, that there’s only one ‘right way’ for us to live our lives, and that they get to decide what that is. And that, my friends, is un-American. But we know, and guess what, they know too, that the American people are on our side. 

And if you don’t like abortion, the answer is more sex! “If the anti-choice movement really wants to stop abortion, like they claim,” Hogue said, “they should join hand in hand with us to promote birth control and comprehensive sex-ed. But time after time after time, they vote against these common sense tools.”

Hogue concluded, “America thrives when no one is allowed to impose their personal morality on others. That is the essence of the religious liberty that we prize.” And babies thrive when no one is allowed to kill them in the womb. That’s the kind of liberty we should all prize.

Welcome to Obama’s America, where at home and abroad, the great principles for which this country stands are abortion and sodomy.

I don’t believe that for a minute. But if I did, I’d be proud to be un-American.

Morals in this country are becoming 180 degrees out of phase which doesn’t bode well for it when you look at history.

Your right and also they need to view Mother Nature is prochoice too (wink wink) Guess who she’s aborting when she unleashes her fury. God has been removing his protection from this nation until we turn from our wicked way.

If there is ANYTHING that is anti-American, it is killing a defenseless child in the womb.

people will line up outside a prison to protest the execution of a mass murderer, but will salute, on their way home, to the abortion mill.....pathetic

Is it abortion, or covering up child rape?

Susan Smith had at least one abortion, maybe two, before she had the two precious little boys that she ended up killing. If killing your child in the womb is OK, then why not after they’ve been born?

If you do not value your own life how can you value the life of your child, born or unborn?

Nothing more dangerous than a suicidal person.

Ask anyone shouting "Allahu Akbar!"

‘Anti-Abortion Is Anti-American’

Yeah, that's why the Founders put that amendment in the Bill of Rights. You know, the one that says you can murder unborn children. It's the ... uh ... Eleventeenth Amendment ... or something like that.

I'd like to know specifically where in the Constitution it says a woman has the right to kill her unborn child. The ''pro-choicers are always saying the Constitution gives them this right but I can't find it.

The way I see it these Libs and Lefties of the abortion crowd are always talking about the ‘’rights of minorities’’. I’d think that the smallest minority is a child in the womb. People who would deny that child the right to life come up way short of being a defender of ‘’minorities’’.

Anyone who stands for the killing of children is not only unAmerican, but also inhuman. How can this lady who was born herself suddenly want to deny others the right to be born? She is the lowest of the low. How can a full grown human being rationalize the reaching into a woman’s body, grasping her fetus and terminating it? Sorry lady, I don’t buy what you say, think or feel!
