From DKos: Women have died for the right to abortions. Don't apologize, and don't give it up!
Amanda Duarte is refreshing and courageous.
When many are
afraid to talk about abortion, as if it’s a bad
word, Duarte passionately posts the hard truth on her Facebook page
to set the record straight.
She relays important reasons why we should
own the word, “abortion,” as well as our constitutional right to obtain
one.
Here is her post, which is going viral:
I don't care if Planned Parenthood provides nothing BUT abortion services.
I don't care if it's a million-story abortion superpark with abortion waterslides and an abortion electrical parade.
Abortion is legal.
ABORTION IS LEGAL.
If I read one more "defense" of Planned Parenthood that says "it's not JUST abortions!" or "only 5% of what they do is abortion! And abortions aren't federally funded!" I'm going to abort myself.
Abortion is legal, culturally necessary, and good for humanity.
It has been and will be practiced for millennia.
It is essential.
It is a fact.
By minimizing, denying or apologizing for this fact, you are allowing these venal anti-woman Nazis to frame this debate and continue to chip away at this essential right.
Abortion is not tragic.
It is not painful.
It is a fact.
It is a right.
Demand it, fight for it, and for the sake of the women who have given their lives to defend it, stop apologizing for it.
