Charmaine did a great job, as usual, but I was hoping she would respond specifically to Ilyse’s idiotic statement that mandating hallway widths in abortion clinics does not have anything to do with women’s health. Tell that to the EMTs who struggle to maneuver gurneys in some of these places.
Oh Ilyse, your whole “they’re going to take away my precious pills!” argument is TIRED.
Charmaine Yoest is a class act.
Trying to save lives is a radical agenda. Really?
Well then, I’m a radical.
Charmaine is awesome. Can she do all of the pro-life movements PR from now on?
Interesting, Ilyse redefined Common Sense!!! HA!
Great job, Charmaine
Since Ilyse brought up the 70% Of Americans support Roe argument, I wish Charmaine countered with the fact that most Americans do not actually know what Roe says and that in the poll cited it was defined as a right to an abortion up to 12 weeks. Thus, a majority support common sense limits that AUL endorses. Only a small minority agree with abortion on demand, for any reason, at any time, yet that is what groups like NARAL, NOW, and PP advocate when they oppose any and all regulations. it should I realize it is hard to address all the points made by the other side in a debate. It is easy to turn that 70% number on its head by saying that only a small fraction (13%) abortion access beyond the first trimester.
Ms. Hogue really had the guts to bring up the hallway width when Gosnell’s patient died largely because the hallways were too narrow to fit a stretcher? I have to admire her tenacity, if not her honesty.
