A New York congresswoman criticized a pro-life doctor for saying “abortion” Tuesday during a U.S. House hearing, claiming the word is being “weaponized” to stoke negative emotions.

Contradicting herself, U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice, a pro-abortion Democrat, claimed she wants to have an “actual meaningful conversation” about abortion but using the word “abortion” – an accurate medical term — prevents that from happening.

“All I hear is a bunch of conversations where the word abortion, abortion, abortion is meant as a negative term,” Rice said in a video shared by the Republican National Committee. She aimed her criticism at Dr. Christina Francis, a leading pro-life OB-GYN who testified during the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing on abortion.

“I would suggest you stop throwing the word abortion around because you think it’s one that is going to raise the emotions above having reasonable conversation,” Rice told Francis. “[The] word has been weaponized, in my opinion, by certain people in this country because if we’re going to have a real conversation about this, we have to stop using language that is going to prevent an actual meaningful conversation from happening.”

Abortion is an accepted medical term but I prefer the word murder.

Are you kidding me? Murder is murder and that is what abortion is. It says in the bible “thou shalt not kill”. Do we really want to call down the wrath of God by not taking responsibility for our actions?

It is way to late for them to worry about calling down the wrath of God on those that slaughter the most innocent of all life in the womb of their Mothers… God has been sending His warnings of the destruction of the United States since the mid-1980s, and no one is going to stop this destruction from happening.
Not even the greatest of all presidents this nation has seen in the last 70+ years, Pres. Donald J. Trump and all the United States Armed Forces can save that which God has given over for destruction.

Just like her father Satan lied to Eve in the Garden of Eden, his daughter Kathleen Rice wants to lie about abortion. But regardless of what either Satan or his daughter calls it, abortion is nothing more and nothing less than the murder of innocent infants in their mothers womb. And on Judgement Day God is going to let them know exactly what He thinks and feels about it. And they’re not going to like it in the least.

There are many legitimate reasons for abortion, e.g., separation from the placenta, death or dying in the womb, infection, extreme youth, rape and so on. Abortion generally is a private matter between obstetrician and patient. State power over it should be limited and strictly monitored by qualified legislators or staff licensees.

But that’s not what this deceptive socialist wants. She just wants the federal government money for her voters. That makes them dependent on her and results in votes. I’d recommend she discuss the matter with Governor Hochul. Between the two of them, I’m sure they’ll find a new way to fleece their voters.
