Democrat Senator Maggie Hassan showed her true colors Wednesday when she callously dismissed the horrors of forced abortions while defending dangerous mail-order abortion pills during a Senate Health Committee hearing.
The New Hampshire Democrat accused Republican senators of "gaslighting" Americans about the very real dangers of mifepristone being delivered by mail – completely ignoring how this system makes it easier for abusers to force abortions on their victims.
But Hassan's most disturbing moment came when she brushed off GOP concerns about violence against pregnant women, claiming it's simply a "longstanding part of human history." Apparently, in Hassan's twisted worldview, because abuse has happened before, we should just accept it and make it easier for predators to access abortion drugs.
Making Excuses for Abusers
This is exactly the kind of radical pro-abortion extremism that Americans rejected in November. While Republicans are fighting to protect vulnerable women from coercive abortions, Democrats like Hassan are more concerned with protecting Big Abortion's profits than actual women.
The GOP senators Hassan attacked were raising legitimate concerns about how mail-order mifepristone removes crucial safeguards. When abortion pills can be ordered online and delivered to anyone's doorstep, it becomes a weapon for abusive partners, sex traffickers, and others who want to eliminate evidence of their crimes.
"Violence against pregnant women is a longstanding part of human history," Hassan callously stated, as if that justifies making the problem worse.
This is the same party that claims to care about women's safety while simultaneously removing every protection that might actually keep them safe from predators.
Trump Administration Must Act
Thankfully, we now have a president who actually stands up for the most vulnerable. President Trump's team has already signaled they'll be taking a hard look at the FDA's reckless approval of mail-order abortion drugs – a policy that puts ideology over women's safety.
Patriots across America are watching as Democrats like Hassan reveal their true priorities. When forced to choose between protecting women or protecting the abortion industry's bottom line, they choose Big Abortion every single time.
How long will Americans tolerate politicians who care more about abortion access than protecting women from the predators who exploit that very system?
