In a jaw-dropping display of callous indifference to abuse victims, Democrat Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire told her Republican colleagues that forced abortions are simply a "longstanding part of human history" while defending unrestricted access to mail-order abortion pills during a Wednesday Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing.
The shocking comments came as GOP senators raised legitimate concerns about the dangers of allowing mifepristone - a powerful abortion drug - to be distributed through the mail without proper medical supervision. Instead of addressing these safety concerns, Hassan chose to gaslight Republicans and dismiss the very real threat this poses to women who could be coerced into taking these drugs.
Think about this for a moment, Patriots. A sitting U.S. Senator just argued that because violence against pregnant women has happened throughout history, we should make it easier for abusers to access dangerous drugs that could harm their victims. This is the twisted logic of today's radical Democrat Party.
"Violence against pregnant women is a longstanding part of human history," Hassan callously stated, showing zero empathy for countless women who have been forced into unwanted abortions by abusive partners, traffickers, or family members.
This is exactly the kind of extremist thinking that President Trump and his administration are working to combat. While Trump fights to protect the sanctity of life and defend vulnerable Americans, Democrats like Hassan are literally arguing that historical abuse justifies making it easier for predators to harm women today.
The mail-order distribution of mifepristone poses serious risks that any reasonable person should acknowledge. Without proper medical supervision, women could face life-threatening complications. Even worse, these drugs could fall into the hands of abusers who want to force abortions on their victims.
But Hassan and her fellow Democrats don't care about these women. They're so committed to their radical abortion agenda that they'll dismiss forced abortions as just "part of history" rather than address real safety concerns raised by Republicans.
How can any American look at these comments and think the Democrat Party represents their values? When did protecting abusers' access to dangerous drugs become more important than protecting vulnerable women?
