For evidence that feminism has been corrupted even further by the pro-abortion movement, look no further than this piece by feminist writer Molly Jong-Fast:
I wrote about why it’s important to keep second trimester abortions legal. https://t.co/7qV68Jfz9L

In her Wall Street Journal piece, Molly Jong-Fast writes about how being told that her unborn child had a 25 percent chance of having a potentially fatal genetic disease is actually a great argument for keeping second-trimester abortions legal:
I wept every day. I thought endlessly about odds and what they meant. Seventy-five percent seemed good one minute; the next minute, I was devastated.
We arrived at the genetic counselor’s office to learn our results. It turned out we won the lottery. My baby was not affected, not even a carrier. He was born the following January, a strapping 9 pounds, 5 ounces. He is now 14, a freshman in high school. Having him was the greatest decision I ever made, but being forced to carry a terminally ill baby would have been the greatest tragedy of my life. That is why I am committed to keeping second-trimester abortions safe and legal.
In sum: Because she didn't want to care for a terminally ill child. This isn't a reasoned argument, but Molly has some feelings so therefore all 2nd trimester abortions should be legal. https://t.co/o0LFuFb3YK

That’s one hell of a logical leap, Molly. But then, facts don’t seem to be your strong suit:

I don’t know if Jong-Fast is misremembering or if she had a bad doctor but per NIH what she writes seems simply wrong pic.twitter.com/IPpt5v0jft

Oh.
I enjoy how she uses the fact that the child might suffer to justify a procedure that involves tearing the child to pieces–a procedure she doesn't bother describing.

For instance, less than 1% of all abortions are performed to save the life of the mother, yet so many leftist claim that is the main reason to allow abortions.

She doesn't even bother with that argument lol. SHE'LL BE INCONVENIENCED

This child's nails will constantly require trimming, the skin will need daily washing, and don't get me started on the hair.
KILL IT!!! If you have any mercy whatsoever.

Actual quote from the piece that she thinks makes her look good:
"Having him was the greatest decision I ever made, but being forced to carry a terminally ill baby would have been the greatest tragedy of my life."

Narrator: It did not make her look good.
There is truly something wrong with her . . .

It's eugenics all the way down. And it's sad.

More than sad.

That people just accept these arguments and don't get outraged by them says a lot bad about our culture
— Mo Mo (@molratty) November 27, 2018
Same people who lose their ish over tear gas being used in the presence of children can't be bothered to admit the reality of late term abortions.
— David Edward ❔ (@_David_Edward) November 27, 2018
Yeah I had the same thought. "We should be able to kill our children if we would be inconvenienced and think their existence would be miserable but look at all these miserable mothers and children. How can you be so cruel as to enforce the border?"
— Mo Mo (@molratty) November 27, 2018
Classic cognitive dissonance.

I do enjoy how they attempt to hurl the "How could you be pro life and not care about these people?" insult without realizing that they're the ones who are hypocrites. LOL
— Mo Mo (@molratty) November 27, 2018
I don't hear it as much anymore. But one of the pro-choice premises is that some lives are so miserable they're better off snuffed out early.
— Holden (@Holden114) November 27, 2018
I still hear it a lot. What a great world when someone's potential misery is a justifiable reason to kill him.

How far we’ve fallen.
No civilized society eradicates suffering by eradicating those who suffer. https://t.co/mFeCTyo1Ce
