Congresswoman Cori Bush’s abortion story is full of contradictions.
Earlier this month, the Missouri politician told her story to Congress to advocate for abortion on demand. But the heartbreaking details she shared about her experience betrayed her goal. She admitted to experiencing racism within the abortion industry and acknowledged that aborting her unborn baby led to “the darkest period of my life.”
In a new interview with Vogue, Bush insisted that her abortion was about “mov[ing] on with my life,” and she slammed state lawmakers’ efforts to protect unborn babies through heartbeat laws and other legislation as “ludicrous.”
“The narrative kind of went in a certain way after I spoke out, and some people took it as me saying that because I was a victim of sexual assault, I needed to have an abortion,” she told Vogue. “But that’s not what I was saying. That’s part of the story, but the question really was, how did having that abortion access help me move on with my life?”
Yet, Bush herself admitted that aborting her unborn baby did the opposite. In a previous interview with Vanity Fair, she said her abortion left her numb “for quite a while. That was the beginning of a very, very dark period … That was the darkest period of my life.”
She also told Vogue that the abortion industry – which she and other Democrats want to give hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to – treated her badly because she was a black woman, failed to give her basic information about her options and basically pressured her into aborting her unborn child.
Asked if she believed her race impacted the way she was treated when she sought an abortion, Bush replied, “Absolutely.” This confirms what pro-life advocates have been saying for decades about racism in the abortion industry.
She continued:
I was treated differently on purpose, and it was very blatant. … I went into the room for “counseling,” and then I absolutely knew what they thought about me. I felt belittled, and there was nothing they could point to in terms of “This is why we’re judging you in this way.” There was no background information I had to fill out to say how much money I made, or what my background was, or who my parents were. They were singling me out and treating me this way because I was Black. I was seen as a statistic who had done something wrong; – like, my life won’t get better, I’m going to be back here in a few months. I internalized that, and I didn’t know how to push back against it because I was so vulnerable at that time. I felt like they were the good people, and I was bad.
She told Vanity Fair that the abortion counselor “was almost angry. The way she was speaking to me, it was very belittling and degrading. I didn’t know why she was directing all of that onto me. I felt like I wasn’t given an opportunity to make a decision.”
Bush said she wanted the counselor to tell her that she had options, that she could be a mother. Instead, the abortion worker pressured her to have an abortion, so she did. The congresswoman admitted that she suffered for a long time afterward.
Speaking with Vogue, Bush said she felt nervous about sharing her story publicly because people might make “the story about something that it wasn’t.”
She wants her story to be about supporting abortion on demand, supposedly because women need abortions to thrive. But the truth is clear in the details: The abortion industry hurts women and kills babies, and women do not need to sacrifice their own children in abortions to succeed.
Wheres the sperm donor? Maybe that is the real problem. Dad is no where to be found.
“It’s a crying shame that her mother didn’t move on with her life.”
You beat me to the punch and said that in a nicer way than I would have.

This song says it all.
Hmm, a lot of married people want to “ move on with their lives” but they don’t murder their spouses usually.
A lot,of workers want to “move on with their lives”, but they don’t urder their bosses to do so
A lot of people wish to move on and yet they don’t have 5o resort to murder to do so, but apparently pregnant women are super special, and so the, aw a,,ows them to murder their u born so that the woman can “move on with their lives”
Sadly the murdered mangled dissected unborn never got the chance to move on in life- nope, instead,, they got torn to shreds and sucked out in a tube into a jar, or left on a shelf to die if they survived the abortion attempt.
There isn’t hardly anything more ugly, more selfish, and more vile in this life than a selfish woman, or couple, who murder ever their own child because they “want to move on in ljfe”.
Got news for her. She wasn’t treated that way because she was black. She was treated that way because she was pregnant. This is how women are treated in abortion clinics. As a dollar sign, a profit center. It’s a business and dead babies are the product. The women are just the delivery system. Nothing more.
But as they say, if you view your life through the lens of racism then everything and everyone is racist.
How has your life improved since you killed your unborn child?
So she “needs to have an abortion” because “she was sexually assaulted”, and goes to an abortion clinic to have her baby murdered by others who get paid to murder the unborn, but then claims she was “pressured into murdering her unborn child “? She went there to murder her unborn!
She “didn’t know that there were options”? What person on the face of the earth doesn’t know about adoption agencies? Heck, many people have friends who were adopted, or know about folks In Their towns who were adopted.
Maybe just maybe she didn’t know about adoption, but I find it hard to beleive, and the fact stil, remains that she went to a murder facility, and now c,aims that “because of racism” that she was “pressured into getting” what she went there for in the first place?
What am I missing here?
Stockholm syndrome.
She’s in defensive mode. She knows what they did to her but is letting people with that same spirit manipulate and influence her away from what she knows.
What did she think the BabyKilling store would do, invite her in for tea and cakes and a referral to an adoption agency?

I don’t believe a word of her story. She had consensual sex multiple time and killed the baby. She just had to get the narrative so al” we deploreables can see the “but what about rape” false argument.
I have sympathy for her and believe everything she is saying. Just wish she could see beyond the politics and simply say she wishes other women in horrible situations have options to a better outcome. And even go as far as saying abortion is a mistake.
I was told (after I posted) that the pregnancy was the result of rape.
I wonder if she ever read the story about how planned parenthood came to be.
“After having an unprotected romp kills the child so “she” can move on with her life.”
It’s like I have said in the past, it’s called not wanting to take responsibility for you own actions at the murder of a very innocent baby.
I didn’t read the story; she was sexually assaulted so no telling what problems might manifest itself..
From the article/excerpt posted.
“The narrative kind of went in a certain way after I spoke out, and some people took it as me saying that because I was a victim of sexual assault, I needed to have an abortion,” she told Vogue. “But that’s not what I was saying. That’s part of the story, but the question really was, how did having that abortion access help me move on with my life?”
So, it wasn’t just an unprotected romp. Regardless, the solution of an evil (sexual assault/rape) isn’t to do more evil (murdering an innocent).
Had abortion not been legal since 1973, blacks would be 37% of the population. Blacks have suffered the greatest demographic losses because of abortion of any group.
