Meet The GOP Congresswoman Who’s Tearing Her Party Apart Over Abortion

Conservatives aren’t very happy with Rep. Renee Ellmers this week. Over the course of just a few days, the Republican congresswoman from North Carolina has become an unlikely symbol for Republicans’ brewing divisions over abortion policy.


Ellmers is being accused of betraying her party — several articles published on the right-wing Red State accuse her of being “worse than a Democrat” and “two-faced” — for thwarting a proposed 20-week abortion ban that was scheduled to come up for a vote this week. On Thursday afternoon, anti-abortion activists Jill Stanek and Patrick Mahoney held a protest outside of Ellmers’ office, urging activists to stand against “Congressman Ellmers’ blockage of a bill to protect babies destined for death by abortion.”

A Republican who can think for herself?

This could be interesting.

This wouldn't be a source of conflict if Republicans simply respected a woman's right to privacy.

Or if the left respected life,willing to toss a living human in the trash for faux outrage over privacy

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“Ellmers is being accused of betraying her party...”

Which is considerably preferable to betraying her oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Ellmers is the future of the GOP on this issue.

 

[elektra]

Democrats support barbarism.

Democrats hate children, if not aborted, unwanted children should be forced into a homosexual lifestyle via adoption.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Come June this will no longer be an issue, and we Republicans will move onto important issues.

If children are not important to you Jake, you should step out of threads with kids.

Makes me wonder, why do people who literally hate children get to make decisions that determines the life of a child?

 

[JakeStarkey]

You are politicizing children on an issue that you are distorting that you don't understand.

Adults prey, don't you know? Heterosexual, homosexual, pedophilia.

Adults prey, Elektra. Focus, please focus.

If abortion was actually in the Constitution, instead of only in the mind of a bunch of asshole lawyers.

Witness the end result of the so called "right to privacy"

Patterico s Pontifications Two Baby Boys And Two Choices Made 8211 One For Life One For Death

Of course, Lana had automatically assumed she would have a girl. When she was informed by her doctor that an ultrasound determined she was instead pregnant with a little boy, she was horrified. Her reaction to her “body’s betrayal”? She had an abortion a few days later. Of her decision:

I stand by my decision to abort my baby because it was a male.

I don’t hate men, I hate the patriarchy, what men, and even some women, turn into, I wasn’t going to let that happen with my offspring. The chances were greater that it would with a male, it was unacceptable.

If the curse returns, I would do the exact same thing all over again.

And her response to her critics:

To me, the experience was liberating, the emotions I felt when deciding what I should do, and after learning my fetus was male was something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Coming out of it a liberated woman though was more than worth it. If I had to do it all
over again, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Just keep ignoring the fact that a large chunk of your electorate, Religious Blacks, are probably Pro-Life, but haven't felt the need yet to abandon the democrats yet.

But keep pushing for discrimination against the religious on gay issues, and you may just push them over the edge.

Do you consider the number of children a woman chooses to have as a part of that right to privacy?

What's interesting is that Liberals believe the only time someone thinks for themselves is when they think like Liberals. Let someone be pro life on this issue and you'll be the first one telling them to quit drinking the Republican Kool Aid.
