Deep Irony: Planned Parenthood Director Believes Separating A Child From Their Parent Causes Harm

Filed under: General — Dana @ 7:34 pm



[guest post by Dana]

Dr. Leana Wen loves her *some* babies:

Untitled

Painfully revealing her hypocritical underpants, Dr. Wen uttered these truthful words without batting an eye and with a complete and utter lack of self-awareness. Because when you’re in the very business of forcibly removing children from their parents, well, the only fitting response is, #HowDareYou indeed, Dr. Wen.

  5. “#HowDareYou indeed” is precisely what I thought.

  6. (pedantic) This comparison doesn’t work. Either Wen would need to be FOR forced abortions and AGAINST forced separation or FOR voluntary abortion and AGAINST voluntary separation for a properly set up contradiction in values. While what she actually says is that she is for voluntary abortion and against forced separation, which aren’t contradictions. (a fetus has no choice in either an abortion in an adoption- adoptions being a voluntary separation that is also a parent’s choice- and ain’t nobody screaming about how adoptions are bad because the baby doesn’t get to choose, so in this case that particular argument doesn’t work either)

    As it is, there isn’t a good basis for comparison other than she’s pro-choice so she must hate kids, which we all know is silly except when it gets used as a rhetorical device and then we are expected to take it seriously, which, no.

  7. these children are wanted by their mothers and conservatives don’t want either. fetuses are not wanted by their mothers but conservatives want to punish mothers for getting pregnant. disagree? when did a conservative demand more welfare spending and less restrictions on it to discourage abortions?

  8. The democrat death march on babies will continue until P.P. is removed from society. Too many people in the uni-party depend on dead baby parts, so it will take an act from God to eradicate the baby killing fixers of the left.

  9. Ever notice how the congress critters on the right can never get a group together to shout out talking points that their constituents hold. The chamber of commerce lackeys own the right. Along with China. Cocaine Mitch and his Chinese ships!!

  10. 6. She’s a baby killer, Nic. To be concerned about the “health effects” of forced separation, if not absolute hypocrisy, is quite specious when one worships at the altar of Moloch.

    Gryph (08c844)

  11. 7. Giving birth is not “punishment” for getting pregnant. There are alternatives to abortion that don’t involve killing, particularly when an abortion is botched and the baby (let’s call it what it is) is born alive.

    — WHO said that “she must hate kids”? No doubt she loves a lot of kids who managed to make it at least 24 hrs past the finish line.

  13. Do these people not see the incoherence of their beliefs?!

    “Safe, legal and rare” is one thing, but this current savagery and hypocrisy is sickening. I just hope the American public sees it too. I wonder though how many people actually saw the cheering for infanticide and the state building lit up in blood red…I mean, pink.

    Abortion is always forced upon the life inside the womb, which is the point…

  15. She reminds me of the doctor bureaucrats of the alliance in serenity, the ones who created the pax.

  16. There will come a day when future generations will look back at this mindset, this obsession with killing babies and they’ll wonder what in the Hell was wrong with the people who possessed it.

    And many of us know that judgment in the afterlife awaits them.

  17. Unfortunately being able to put baby part harvester on your resume is where were at.

  18. @11 their are alternatives to abortion that is why conservative republicans fight to keep sex education out of schools. if you oppose welfare and sex education in schools you are an enabler of abortion. this is like the hoola hoop oe pet rock fad you will come up with something else next month. fortunately the voters are about to give conservatives a post natal abortion in the 2020 election.

  19. 18. …I’m not sure what you’re saying here, Lany. Are you implying or straight-up saying that baby killers generally are for welfare and sex education? I wouldn’t disagree. But then again, I don’t have kids of my own. If I did, there’s no way I would send them to a government-run school, to begin with.

  20. @ Nic, #6:

    This comparison doesn’t work. Either Wen would need to be FOR forced abortions and AGAINST forced separation or FOR voluntary abortion and AGAINST voluntary separation for a properly set up contradiction in values.

    This is an utter and complete mischaracterization of why Wen is (rightly) being pilloried.

    She professes to be concerned about physical harm to children, while being president of an organization that kills children.

    You can choose not to acknowledge the contradiction, or try to define it away. Nevertheless, it exists.

  21. 19 so anti abortionists are against welfare and sex education. so abortion is murder but after your born your on your own kid the state has no more responsibility go live in a garbage dump like the kids from south of here do. conservatism doesn’t believe in welfare unless someone wants to donate to charity.

    lany (40c645)

  22. It takes a village, perry, for a sizable portion of the Left’s demographic because they either don’t believe in or don’t get what parenting consists of.

    Colonel Haiku (2601c0)

  23. 21. No ****, sherlock. It’s not charity when it’s forced by the hand of government. And last time I checked, there were many more American couples wishing to adopt than there were babies available to be adopted.

    Gryph (08c844)

  24. After two days, I still have no comment to make about Leana Wen that would not be sexist, racist and mean, so thank you everybody for yours.

  25. Ok, I got one. It is not ICE which is putting those kids in these situations, it is their parents who think they can use them as green cards, EBT cards, and get-out-of-jail-free cards.

    nk (dbc370)

  26. Children get taken away from their parents much more by the foster care system than by this, but she’s not talking about that, because it supposedly is the state acting righteously (no worries about due process here for some reason)

    But it does get mentioned in the context of opposition to cash bail.

  27. My only Russian concern has to do with the Russian women olympic teams. Will they be allowed to do commercials for Harry’s razors?

    mg (8cbc69)

  28. Btw cortez chief of staff, diverted campaign cash to his companies.
