Planned Parenthood Slams Trump’s Pro-Life Judicial Nominee Wendy Vitter: “She’s Disastrous” for Abortion

President Donald Trump has held true to his promise to nominate pro-life judges to key judicial roles.

One of his latest, Wendy Vitter, a strong pro-life advocate, is up for a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to consider her confirmation Wednesday.

But Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups are lobbying aggressively against Vitter, claiming she would be “disastrous” for the future of legalized abortion.

“Wendy Vitter may just be Trump’s worst judicial nominee so far — and if you’ve been paying attention, you know that’s really saying something,” Planned Parenthood Vice President Dawn Laguens wrote in a letter to supporters. “Unless we stop her confirmation, she could enforce her extreme, anti-abortion views as law, endangering our health and rights and putting lives at risk.”

Though bad news for Planned Parenthood, Vitter’s nomination provides hope for pro-life advocates and, most importantly, unborn babies and mothers.

For years, Vitter has been leading efforts to protect unborn babies and moms from abortion; she even received an award from Louisiana Right to Life for her outstanding service.

She has presented workshops about abortion risks (“fake science,” according to Planned Parenthood, because apparently there are no abortion risks), supported abortion clinic regulations, protested the construction of a giant new abortion facility, attended the March for Life with her family and more.

“Her abhorrent views on reproductive rights and Planned Parenthood have no place on the bench,” Laguens continued. “She’s spoken at anti-abortion rallies, led anti-abortion panels, and represented organizations that have tried to undermine access to basic health care services.” In a clever manipulation trick, Planned Parenthood now refers to abortion as a basic health care service.

Laguens trashed Vitter as an “outrageously inappropriate choice” for judge because she thinks unborn babies deserve a right to life.

Since Trump’s election, pro-abortion groups have attacked several highly qualified female judicial nominees because they were conservative. And, ironically, they did so while making claims that America needs more women leaders.

Lately, the courts are where the abortion industry has achieved many of its victories. Abortion activists largely have failed to convince voters to support their radical abortion agenda. Voter-elected state legislators have passed a record number of pro-life laws in the past decade; but the abortion industry has turned to the courts to challenge them.

The abortion industry received a lot of help from pro-abortion President Barack Obama who appointed 327 judges during his two terms. Pro-life advocates hope Trump, who promised to be a pro-life president, will appoint pro-life judges who will uphold protections for unborn babies.

Last year, Trump nominated new Justice Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court, a move widely praised by pro-life advocates. Since then, he has nominated a number of other strong, pro-life advocates to roles across the country.

Nominations of judges are worthless until the China sycophant McConnell schedules votes. And Turtleman is going even slower on this front than Schumer dreamed possible.

IMO, he has followed through much better than Congress.

I give the guy kudos for trying to do the right thing.

Congress should hang it’s head. The first half of the Trump term and they haven’t put a bill on his desk to end abortion.

What idiots.

No better recommendation for a judge than a Planned Barrenhood condemnation.

We have to keep slaughtering our innocents. People cry out to God for help and God says I sent you help but you killed the child.

IIRC, Wendy is currently the General Counsel to the (Catholic) Archdiocese of New Orleans - not exactly shocking that she’d be pro-life. You can see how much clout that factoid packs in Mitch Landrieu’s support of her nomination.
