Commemorating last month’s 40th anniversary Roe v. Wade decision, the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health created a new bilingual video campaign “Yo Te Apoyo” (translated “I Support You”) to lift Latino voices of support for a woman’s “right to choose” abortion.

Having ended its first week, earlier chapters of the [abortionist Kermit Gosnell] trial were much more charged. Those included gruesome and revolting descriptions of dead babies – oh, excuse me, I mean fetuses, not babies, not even the one that was seven months along [gestational age depicted in image, right] who could have walked Gosnell to the bus, he reportedly joked.
It’s nice to have fun on the job.
Jurors nearly sobbed when they learned that Gosnell reportedly cut the spinal cords of dozens of fetuses and babies, which means the state believes at least some survived birth, allowing Gosnell to be charged with murder.
It’s amazing that what separates human from nonhuman, baby from fetus, is the thickness of the wall of the mother’s belly.
Uh-oh. This is heading where maybe it shouldn’t.

Lo siento, pero no está sucediendo.
I will NEVER support child-killing in utero.
“Lo siento, pero no está sucediendo.”
Yo tampoco lo harán
So now there is a heavy pressure sales job to get Hispanic women to kill their babies. All in the name of “choice” of course. “We support your decisions.” Yeah right. Sure you do, but only as long as the decision is to kill your baby. If you choose to give your baby life, they will stop supporting your decisions real fast. If they have a hard time selling you that abortion, they may retaliate for the trouble you gave them by doing it real sloppy and you could die, especially if you’re minority. So don’t give in, no matter how hard the pressure to abort. Not only may your baby’s life depend on it, but your own might too.
As a Latina, I find this video extremely offensive. It is so wrong in so many ways. But what really gets me is the condescending tone. ”I support you”. Yeah, you can do anything you want, and “I support you”. You can kill your own child and “I support you”. And then the one that says she wants to have her daughter be powerful one day…to be able to kill her own child and not be “judged”. It is a shame and an embarrassment that Latinas so easily buy into this rhetoric. We do look ignorant, naive and immoral. It is especially sad when you see the older women parroting the same nonsense. You would think they would know better!

I agree, Barb. I made a comment on YouTube. This video is a disgrace.
As a Latino man, I am absolutely disgusted at the abortion-pimping this video is promoting.
Many in the Hispanic community have been brainwashed by the contraceptive/abortion mentality and we have to change to tide.
Go back Mexico or where-ever you came from and stop mooching off of our welfare system. and take California with you, you can have it.
Jasper, do you need a hug?
He’s just being his lovely self.
“Jasper, do you need a hug?”
Actually, i think a time-out would be more appropriate.

The END of all things is at hand!!
I hate when men think they are being all cool by supporting aboriton. Really they are just skirting the responsibility of fatherhood.

Jasper, some of the Latinos here, including Jack, aren’t even Mexican. 70 percent of the Latinos here in Philly are Puerto Rican, meaning they are American citizens. And there’s plenty of white folks who mooch off the system.
Anyway, I just didn’t feel like listening to the video but I get tired of hearing all that stuff about “abortion access for women of color,” like we don’t need housing, medical care, jobs — little things like that. Latino women have a high abortion rate already, do they want it to be higher? As the abortion rate for black women is off the charts (I often wonder what the abortion rate for Asian and Native American women are. I bet for the latter its’ high).
” Jasper, some of the Latinos here, including Jack, aren’t even Mexican. 70 percent of the Latinos here in Philly are Puerto Rican, meaning they are American citizens. And there’s plenty of white folks who mooch off the system.”
A lot of people think they are being funny when they lump all Latino/as into one pile, as if Cuban culture is anything like Mexican culture which is anything like Puerto Rican culture, etc etc etc.
And I think it’s weird when people forget Puerto Rico is actually part of the US, even if it isn’t a state.
This reminds me of something that happened in a small town in New Mexico decades ago. At this time constructing an H-bomb required very good, coordinated technical ‘expertise’; as the years passed the people there got very good at building in a ONE INDUSTRY town, H-bombs.
The arms-race & the cold war, meant a booming business. The non-proliferation treaties eventually meant that this town would die. But it didn’t die without a fight I keep wondering whether ‘male’ support for an abortion is another ‘macho’ hold-over of so-called feminism..
Jasper, my family came here legally. My WHITE dad married my HISPANIC mom and popped out SIX half-breed children. Guess what? People like us are becoming the norm. And we’re all CONSERVATIVES, just like MY MOM’S family.
Quit biting the hand that feeds ya, buddy. Plenty of Hispanics and Latinos are just as fed-up with the current situation as you are. They just don’t feel the need to channel their frustrations into racism.
Although, I will admit that California is a cesspool, and I’d like it to fall into the ocean.
noticed that they have turned off comments for this video on you tube – here is some real truth – most women are have little support
