On Friday afternoon, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell lauded leftist Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) as a “pioneer” for recalling the time she had an illegal abortion as the Democratic congresswoman yesterday argued against laws protecting unborn babies.
Mitchell might also have had her political correctness switch turned extra high as she conspicuously seemed to be avoiding using the word “women,” instead referring to “people” getting abortions, possibly to appease transgender activists.
The MSNBC host introduced Congresswoman Lee and began by praising her and other congressional Democrats who recently spoke of their own experiences of having abortions when they were younger: And joining us now is Congresswoman Barbara Lee of California, who shared her deeply personal story on Capitol Hill yesterday about getting a back alley abortion before it was legal as a 16-year-old. Congresswoman, thank you very much. And thank you when your colleagues — it was such a deeply moving moment to hear from members of Congress — of different ages, of course. But, you know, you were one of the pioneers in that you remember just how terrifying it was to get an illegal abortion in those days before Roe v. Wade . After Congresswoman Lee fretted that women would endanger themselves with illegal abortions, Mitchell followed up: And I think people should understand how difficult it was for you and the others to speak out — that deciding an abortion, from what I have heard over the years, is not only deeply personal, it is very very difficult — that it’s not that people want to get abortions — it’s that they feel that there are reasons in their lives to do it. Either way, it’s either pro or con, these are very tough, personal decisions to make. At one point, Lee actually claimed that giving birth to her child would have “destroyed” her life: I’m a person of faith — I went to Catholic school — I had to pray a lot over this .

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
