Watch Jaw-Dropping Abortion Claim: Babies Are Violent in Womb, Killing Them Completely Defensible
This is purely demonic. There’s no other way to put it.
In a video posted by publishing house Verso Books, feminist writer Sophie Lewis, author of the book “Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family,” talks about protecting abortion access, defends the right to kill babies and claims fetuses are violent in the womb.
“We have very little to lose at the moment when it comes to abortion and I’m interested in winning radically,” Lewis said.
“I wonder if we could think about defending abortion as a right to stop doing gestational work. Abortion is, in my opinion, and I recognize how controversial this is, a form of killing. It is a form of killing that we need to be able to defend.”
Yes, you read that correctly. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you, unfortunately.
From the language Lewis uses — “hemochorial placentation” to mean human pregnancy, “gestator” meaning an expectant mother, “gestational work” meaning bearing a child — it’s almost easy to forget that what she’s talking about is violently ending a human life through the “acceptable violence” of abortion.
But that’s exactly what she’s saying.
“But looking at the biology of the hemochorial placentation helps me think about the violence that, innocently, a fetus metes out vis-a-vis a gestator,” she said.
“That violence is an unacceptable violence for someone who doesn’t want to do gestational work. The violence that the gestator metes out to essentially go on strike or exit that workplace is an acceptable violence.”
Surely, this would be considered extreme thought in pro-choice circles, right?
Would abortion activists condemn Lewis for statements as mentally ill as these?
Are pro-choice activists OK with an individual like Lewis calling abortion “killing” and then saying that “killing” babies must be protected?
Whatever those answers are regarding this harrowing take on abortion, the pro-life crowd is tearing the author apart in the video’s YouTube comments.
And rightfully so.
Several YouTube comments about the video were published before the comment section was eventually disabled by the publisher.
“Where do these crazy people come from?” a commenter asked. “Madness, simply put, this is madness.”
“Thank you for sharing what abortion really, truly is. Your honesty is profound,” another said.
One individual simply stated, “Another one of Stalin’s willing executioners.”
In addition to her statements on protecting infanticide, Lewis had another soundbite that was almost as bad, if you can imagine.
“I am not interested in where a human life starts to exist,” Lewis said on the video.
“I see the forms of making and unmaking each other as continuous processes. The other end of the spectrum is learning how to die well and hold each other and let each other go at the end of our lives, as well as at the beginning.”
Lewis clearly doesn’t value the lives of unborn children, but fortunately, millions more do.
Life doesn’t start at birth. It doesn’t start somewhere in the birth canal. It doesn’t start when the unborn baby’s heart begins beating. It doesn’t start during week eight or nine.
It starts at conception, the earliest possible time in the life of every human.
