'I Will Never Apologize' for Defending 'the Unborn,' Meghan McCain Tells Planned Parenthood
By: Michael Foust
Another time I can support a view of a person I don’t always agree with. On pro life issues, Megan McCain is 100% correct in all that she’s said. It is important to protect the most defenseless and innocent of us human beings. Pro life groups in fact do support women and their children post birth. The pro life movement is exactly that. We cherish life.

'I Will Never Apologize' for Defending 'the Unborn,' Meghan McCain Tells Planned Parenthood
Author and conservative commentator Meghan McCain pushed back Wednesday on criticism from Planned Parenthood by saying she will "never" stop defending the unborn.
McCain has become one of the more outspoken pro-lifers in America in recent months, partially because of her social media platform but also because of her co-host position on ABC's The View .
Planned Parenthood criticized McCain's pro-life views in a Wednesday tweet, pointing to comments by The View co-host Sara Haines about abortion. Haines was referencing her support for vaccine passports when she said this week, "I cannot argue privacy on a public health issue like this when I don't understand how the most private thing in my body – my uterus – seems to be open for business when it is convenient politically."
Haines did not reference McCain in the comment, and McCain did not respond. Nevertheless, Planned Parenthood quoted a tweet that said the comments were directed from "Sara to Meghan McCain." Planned Parenthood's tweet included fire emojis.
McCain defended her views in a tweet directed at Planned Parenthood.
"I believe life begins at conception – I will NEVER apologize or back down from defending the rights of the most vulnerable in our society, the unborn," said McCain, who is the daughter of former GOP presidential nominee John McCain.
McCain's tweet drew applause from the pro-life community.
"Thank you for standing up for women & children, Meghan!" Live Action tweeted .
"Life begins at conception and ends at Planned Parenthood," Susan B. Anthony List wrote on its timeline .
McCain later added , "Always. Abortion is murder."
When several commenters on McCain's timeline said pro-lifers care about babies before they are born, but not after, Live Action chimed in : "In a single year, PRO-LIFE Pregnancy Resource Centers: Served 1.85M people, Provided $267M in FREE services, Gave parenting courses to 313,328, Provided 1,290,079 packs of diapers, Supplied 2,033,513 baby outfits. Not one is run by a 'pro-choice' advocate."

How many babies has she adopted? Oh yea, none. Even the bible says that life begins at first breath. I'll give Meghan credit for having a nice rack, but other than that she's fucking worthless.
No it doesn't say that.
Actually it does.
Take things out of context much?
Or are you trying to state a fetus doesn't need oxygen to survive?
So the umbilical cord provides the babies first breath.
And who is that plugged into?
The word 'breath' refers to inhaling oxygen via the respiratory activity of the lungs:
The word breath does not mean ' accepted oxygenated blood '.
Wrong! The umbilical cord provides oxygenated blood to the embryo/fetus. There is no respiratory activity.
The person that is supposed to be responsible enough to take care of the life within her.
Key word there is "supposed." Not everyone is. Nor does everyone want to be.
And assuming you are a dude, what could you process about the "ins and outs" of a girl/woman child-rendering duties and responsibilities? Because, giving birth, is only 9 months of the process. The rest of it takes a lifetime of endurance.
Ever heard of adoption? Guess not.
Abortion is not meant to be a form of birth control; but many people use it as such.
I have no problem with abortions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest; if the life of the mother is endangered; or if there is a birth defect that will prevent the child from leading a full and productive life. In fact those things should be covered by insurance and government subsidies.
Anything else. Use protection; but understand that no protection is 100% effective. You play you might end up paying.
Correct; and is the fetus able to process the oxygenated blood? That is the same thing as breathing.
Of course liberals like to argue for the most loose definition. That way the fetus is no more than a parasite up until the point and time it is born.
Tell me, did Adam and Eve exist w/o that first breath from God into their bodies? Did they suddenly spring into being fully developed? (I can't believe I have to defend the bible; but this is how stupid this discussion has become. My Theology professor would be laughing his ass off right now. I was a full blown atheist by the time I hit college.).
God = woman in this instance.
Abortion is a form of birth control. Just as contraceptives prevent pregnancy, abortion prevents the continuation of pregnancy. It's essentially the next line of defense when contraceptives fail or are not used. And a woman may utilize abortion if she chooses, regardless of her reasons. If a woman prefers abortion as birth control, that is her right! Whether she decides to continue a pregnancy for adoption or not is also her choice! No one gets to make that decision for her!
No, the fetus cannot directly process oxygenated blood. Processing oxygen is a function of the lungs. Fetal lungs are not developed enough for respiration, especially in earlier stages of gestation. So they're incapable of gas exchange. A fetus is dependent on maternal respiration for adequate gas exchange via the umbilical cord. A fetus is "breathing." But that is to stimulate lung development and adequate expulsion of amniotic fluid at birth.
I'm not offering a "loose definition." I offer a medical explanation. Attempting to make this a liberal vs conservative issue only shows a bias on your part. Especially since I'm not a liberal, if that's what you were implying. And yes, a fetus does act very much like a parsite. What's your point?
Some people actually do believe Adam & Eve suddenly popped into existence via God. But using or injecting religion into something is quite supid.
If you added a few more "reallys," it would still be an understatement.
You are entitled to your 'whims.' Now, what does that have to do with my comment:
A legal medical procedure and a woman's right!
And a cost effective problem solution
That in no way addresses, much less refutes my post. Not to mention such a ban is unconstitutional. Got anything better than mere copy & pasting?
No, it doesn't! I stated abortion is a legal medical procedure and a woman's right. You've offered nothing which refutes that.
And you are wrong and your point, such as it is, is moot. Plain and simple.
This is correct. Abortion become restricted to specific circumstances once viability is reached. Before viability, a woman may have an abortion if she chooses for any reason.
Assuming the SCOTUS agrees to hear the case, then based on past precedents, it will likely strike down such anti-abortion laws, as it should.
What cases?
Merely your opinion. And since a woman can abort for any reason she chooses, your opinion is also irrelevant. And viability s also key to when abortions are allowed or not, depending on the circumstances.
But judges should also uphold the Constitution and established legal precedent based on it.
No doubt some judges will dissent. I expect the same to occur if the case goes before the SCOTUS. But the law itself does not hold Constitutional water. Established legal precedent indicated the law will ultimately be struck down.
While I missed your so called reply, considering it went meta, it's clear you have no valid argument or rebuttal to offer.
You haven't said anything much of value or factual. You're just repeating yourself and continue to be demonstrably wrong.
When that bitch starts giving even close to the same amounts of shits about the people who are already alive then I might listen to what she has to say o. The issue. Until then I will do like I do with pretty much every pro-birth person out there, completely disregard their opinions on the matter right off the bat.
I don't debate abortion because it is pointless. If anti-abortion politicians were to somehow get Roe v Wade overturned , which is extremely unlikely, it would not stop abortions. There might not be as many, but there would still be thousands . Abortion did not begin with Roe v Wade.
Abortion policy in the United States is already a compromise, we will not reach a further compromise that will make both sides happy.
In this day and age millions of people, women who have the actual abortion and the men who are the 'fathers', will not be dictated to by religious beliefs of strangers. It's not going to happen.
But neither will "debating" this issue help. It is what it is and everyone should just leave it alone.
There are those who are not interested in compromise. They only want their way and nobody's else's.
Unfortunately, there are those who refuse to leave it alone. We keep seeing that with states trying to pass restrictive abortion laws, protests against PP, and of course the constant rants about abortion.
Agree. It is the same shit said over and over. Same with religion.
Wish we could leave it alone, but sadly you have a very vocal group of people who are hell bent on making everyone else adhere to their religious beliefs.
What about the rights of the woman? Science was used to establish current abortion laws and limitations.
It has always been about controlling female sexuality and autonomy from a puritanically point of view.
Only pseudoscience and/or only when it suits his own narrative.
Of course you are. We already knew that. Fortunately, Some of us have much higher standards than pseudoscience.
