‘Something is deeply wrong’: Kirsten Powers slams ‘hero worship’ of Wendy Davis

Posted at 2:45 pm on June 28, 2013 by Doug P.

Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers sees a massive rip in the moral fabric of America and is defending herself from backlash on Twitter after writing this tweet:

Something is deeply wrong w/a country where a person fighting for abortions of healthy 20+ wk old babies is a 'hero' http://t.co/PI8jSFQwli
— Kirsten Powers (@KirstenPowers) June 27, 2013

While some expressed support, Powers is still receiving and responding to criticism, some of it facepalm-inducing:

Do you mean a 5 mo fetus? Or a 5 mo infant? Stop muddying the waters, @kirstenpowers10. #ProChoice

Don't presume to know the best thing for a pregnant person if you're not her. #StandWithWendy @kirstenpowers10

@roxmacd @kirstenpowers10 Let women choose their own path in life… Not old white man governing their bodies.

Does one need medical school training in order to have a valid view of what’s moral? Apparently:

Let me know when you finish medical school and residency, @kirstenpowers10, then you can discuss what I can and can't compare/discuss/state.

Final perspective:

And what of GI surgeons doing colonoscopies? Shouldn't they also need admitting privileges, @kirstenpowers10? @tcstephenson1
— Leah Torres, MD (@LeahNTorres) June 28, 2013

.@LeahNTorres the fact that you compare an abortion to a colonoscopy says it all.
