Haley: We Have to ‘Humanize’ Abortion Issue — We’ve Got to Stop ‘Demonizing’ It (Nikki McRomBush)
Breitbart ^ | 8/25/23 | JEFF POOR

Posted on 08/25/2023 12:57:50 PM PDT by cotton1706

Friday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, argued the correct approach to taking on abortion for Republicans was to “humanize” it.

According to the former South Carolina governor, the GOP demonizing it only added to the division in the country.

“Be realistic with the numbers,” “Fox & Friends” co-host Ainsley Earhardt said. “Yes, we don’t have enough votes in the House or in the Senate to abolish this. How did you come up with this answer, and what are you hearing from the voters after that debate?”

“I mean, Ainsley, that’s the answer from my heart,” Haley replied. “You know, I am surrounded by blessings, and God has blessed me with an amazing husband and two wonderful children. But having said that, I think it’s really important that all of us remember everybody has a personal story. So while I’m unapologetically pro-life, I don’t judge anyone for being pro-choice. I think that we have to humanize this issue. We’ve got to stop demonizing this issue.”

“I think the division in this country has gone too far. We have to start looking at the vision going forward. My vision is how do we save as many babies as possible and support as many moms as possible. If that’s the case, be honest with the American people. Tell them what is possible and what’s not possible, and let’s bring people together based on humanity, not based on making people hate each other. And I think it’s happened too long, and I’m just not going to be a part of that. I refuse to be a part of that.”

Abortion = murder
Abortion = ultimate child abuse
Abortion hurts women
And also hurts men ( they know they condoned the murder of their own child!)
Therefore,
Abortion IS demonic!

We will continue to demonize it because it deserves to be!

I am always AMAZED at how utterly heartless modern women are!

Lindsay Graham made his proposal when we had Democrat majorities in the House and Senate and a pro-abortion president. His proposal had no chance of passing and served only to rally Democrats and to discredit Republican candidates who were arguing that abortion policy should be set at the state level as it had been done prior to Roe v Wade.

Just as male candidates have to transcend politics beyond men to include women, female candidates have to do the same, and yet they often get locked into putting out policy proposals that only deal with women, or they say silly things such as “If you want something said ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.”

I really like this thought process. It becomes a civil right issue ( for the unborn human), therefore any state laws allowing the murder of the preborn would be unconstitutional, and you would not need a federal abortion law, which itself woukd violate the constitution. But this declaration of personhood would achieve the same thing.

There’s been an initiative writing this angle for quite awhile.

We’ve got to stop demonizing this issue.

It is literally a demonic issue.

Humanize the killing of future American citizens?

Well; good luck with THAT!


What's the first word here?

It seems as if the Free Republic consensus, is that we object to her saying “humanizing” , as if that one word cancels out her entire position on the issue.

Well; just ONE thing floating in the punchbowl will make many buffet visitors lose their appetites.

“So while I’m unapologetically pro-life, I don’t judge anyone for being pro-choice. I think that we have to humanize this issue. We’ve got to stop demonizing this issue.”

Isn’t what she is really saying that “We have to normalize abortions being used as birth control by some humans?”

That being said, the small-government person in me would rather we honor the Constitution and let the states decide on abortion.

This being said, the saved-by-grace person in me would rather we honor the document written EARLIER than the Constitution and let GOD decide on abortion.

That aspect of things seems to be getting lost as we all proclaim ourselves to be pro life.

That's because for so many; their PRIORITIES are messed up.

We'd better be pro-GOD before we are ANYTHING else!

“ABORTION IS RESOLVED AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL!”

It has at the Heavenly level as well:

Exodus 21:22 - Living Bible

"If two men are fighting, and in the process hurt a pregnant woman so that she has a miscarriage, but she lives, then the man who injured her shall be fined whatever amount the woman's husband shall demand, and as the judges approve.

And this is just accidently; not intentionally!

If someone kills a pregnant woman here, they are charged with the death of the unborn child, too-as they should be-an acknowledgement that the unborn child is a person with the right to the life God has given him/her.
