WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 (UPI) -- Elizabeth Banks, Retta, Dascha Polanco and other actresses came together to tell real abortion stories as part of the Center for Reproductive Rights' Draw The Line campaign.

In the clips, published Wednesday, the actresses, including Mary McCormack, Amy Brenneman, Mercedes Mason and Bellamy Young, retell stories from women who have had abortions to represent the myriad of reasons why everyday women choose to undergo the procedure.

"I think most women feel that way."

Could be a Hillary Clinton for president campaign motto.

That sounds horrible, should get an NC17 or XXX rating for extreme depictions of violence against babies.

“It has been my experience that most people who are for abortion have already been born”.

No stories without pictures. With attitudes like theirs, one wonders what kind of horrid mothers they would have been to their slaughtered children.

Personally, I’m thinking of how selfish and diabolical any woman’s story about her ‘abortion story’ is and how it’s execution benefited them over the immense joy a mother could feel about the birth of her own in such a way to make them feel more complete, more human, more satisfied.

Personally, I think that a decision like that would be a source of lifelong regret and shame that couldn’t even be covered up by the politics of ‘misery loves company.’

"I knew I had to end the pregnancy," Elizabeth Banks recited while telling a young woman named Rebecca's story. "What I remember most about my experience is how the women I love stepped up to support the decision I was choosing to make, because the life they were most concerned about, was mine."
"When you love someone you want the best for them, and that means you would do anything to protect them from being forced to do anything against their will," Banks continued. "I think most women feel that way."

How sad that these Leftists simply recite trite platitudes clearly without giving any thought to what they are actually saying.

"I knew I had to end the pregnancy,"

A cowardly euphemism designed to cover what is really occurring, killing your unborn child

When you love someone you want the best for them, and that means you would do anything to protect them from being forced to do anything against their will,

Do they hear themselves when they say something like this? Shouldn't a mother, of all people, do anything to protect their child?

These people are mentally ill.

...because the life they were most concerned about, was mine.

I thinks that's the most honest statement in this whole article. They sure don't care about the unborn human's life.

She also said “think” and “feel” in the same sentence. She made a blanket statement about women but qualified it by not being positive.

So they're protective of their child, but not their grandchild? Wow. I support you in the killing of my grandchild.

Oh, you're ready to have a child now? Hey, I know, let's till little Timmy you aborted his brother or sister. Let him ponder that for a while. It could have been him. How would that make you feel. Hey mom, thanks for not hacking me apart and chucking my parts in a bin for the highest bidder...

Not guilty.

She has to say stuff like that to get work in Hollywood from liberal producers since she's in the wrong side of 40 now.

Yeah, that's it...

Proof that beauty is only skin deep. She's an odd spokesperson, given that she seems to enjoy playing evil or bitchy characters.
