Last Friday, for the first time in fifty years, pro-life activists took to the streets for the March for Life in an America where there was no federal “right” to abortion. It was an event 50 years in the making, and it was wonderful to see.
And, for the first time in 50 years, pro-abortion activists watched the March for Life and feared that their longtime grip on the national abortion narrative might be loosening. Few things terrify the more than the prospect of more babies being born, particularly minority babies.
That’s what makes it so weird — although not surprising — to see former President Barack Obama going to bat so hard for preserving the “right” to abort more black babies. And that’s effectively what he did here:
On what would have been the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we’re reminded that progress can move backward. And that means we’ve got to recommit to doing our part to protect and expand reproductive rights for families today — and for generations to come.
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) January 22, 2023
I hope you’ll join with the activists who’ve been sounding the alarm on this issue for years — and act. Stand with them at a local protest. Volunteer with them on a campaign. Donate to their causes. And vote in every election for candidates who will support reproductive rights.

“Reproductive rights” is such a disingenuous term for abortion rights. Abortion is pretty explicitly about limiting reproduction.
Does it get more Orwellian than calling it reproductive rights?

Nobody opposes reproductive health care.
We oppose abortion, because it kills babies.

Funny how you use ’abortion’ and ‘reproductive rights’ in the same sentence. That’s like saying “We need gun control so people can better protect themselves and their families”. By reproductive rights you mean the right to kill babies.

Also, while there’s certainly irony in Barack Obama’s abortion advocacy when Planned Parenthood to this day continues founder Margaret Sanger’s mission to purge society of as many black children as possible, Obama’s invoking “future generations” is quite ironic in its own right.

Future generations kind of depend on future generations existing, you know? Or has Barack Obama forgotten how that stuff works?
I’m sorry you don’t seem to understand how generations work.

There are no “generations to come” for those babies who are aborted.

He’s talking about future generations, yet condoning exterminating them at the same time. He also knows the majority of babies being exterminated are black. Straight up evil.

If pro-abortion advocates like Barack Obama could just be honest about what it is they’re advocating for, we could at least respect them just a tiny bit for doing so. But they’re not, so we can’t.
