@JoshuaHol Dehumanizing victims is the first step. Slaveholders called them property. Nazis called them subhumans. Abortionists say "cells."

The abortion debate got a fresh jolt late last night when California prosecutors announced that they were charging the Center for Medical Progress’ David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt with 15 felony counts for undercover reporting that blew the lid off of Planned Parenthood’s organ trafficking. The pro-life community quickly rose to CMP’s defense, but it seems that the media by and large haven’t managed to speak out on the activists’ behalf.
One member of the media who has spoken out is The Nation and Rolling Stone contributor (and Politics and Reality Radio host) Joshua Holland, only he’s speaking out on behalf of abortion. In a series of disturbingly nasty tweets, he accidentally revealed just how depraved the pro-abortion movement truly is:
People aren't harmed by abortion, and we need to call out this kind of outrageous rhetoric. Or start calling anti-choicers 'baby-killers.' https://t.co/UfH4mWCS2t
— Joshua Holland (@JoshuaHol) March 29, 2017
We've become immune to the fact that these people accuse us of infanticide. That should be totally outside the of bounds of civil discourse.

See, these lunatics call 1/2-ounce, non-sentient fetuses "kids." It's outrageous. You kill just as many "kids" as any abortion provider. https://t.co/KNVUDvuZ0A

Last time we checked our biology textbooks, fetal development constituted a stage of, you know, life.

@seanmdav @joshuahol I guess you didn't interview any patients of Kermit Gosnell. Although in all fairness, many of his patients are dead
— Todd Cohen (@molonosoff) March 29, 2017
It is the anti-choice movement that wants more Gosnells. We want access to safe, LEGAL abortion. You want back alley butchers. https://t.co/88bxkY1uUH

@JoshuaHol
That's the stupidest comment I've ever read.
The BABIES are harmed.
?♂️— SonuvaMarine (@SonuvaMarine) March 29, 2017
Calling undeveloped fetuses "babies" is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. But people have become accustomed to the rhetoric. https://t.co/XaEvvF1D00
— Joshua Holland (@JoshuaHol) March 29, 2017
@JoshuaHol SCIENCE has proven that unborn humans can feel pain. The abortion literally causes pain for the human being killed.
— Sandra (@TexSandra210) March 29, 2017
No, the (early) fetal pain thing is RW bullshit. Actual science has disproved the claim. https://t.co/hR0hLE4hj4

Joshua seems … unstable. That’s probably the nicest thing there is to say about him.
@JoshuaHol Two words: "Kermit Gosnell".
But hey, what do you care about women getting killed if you don't have to pay child support?

@seanmdav @JoshuaHol Shall we call pro-choice individuals 'child sacrificers'?

Let's call them pro-choice, because they are. It's a personal decision, based on an individual's moral beliefs. https://t.co/ug5LwjC7Ks

So what does abortion do, exactly? https://t.co/GlkS5hbxQM
— Hammerjack (@MarcGiller) March 29, 2017
Terminates a pregnancy, most commonly at a stage where it's just a cluster of cells. https://t.co/a9jRrgABMW

@JoshuaHol This tweet is twisted. God knows us before we are formed.Don't get pregnant if you don't want baby, that is choice.

Militant pro-aborts are so tolerant, aren’t they?
People seriously use "anti-choicer" instead of pro-life? Word life bothers them that much?! Wow. https://t.co/PRn9xOA2SX

@JoshuaHol at 12 weeks toes can curl, brain is growing furiously, and kidneys are starting to excrete urine. who is the moron now, asshole?

You're the moron. If excretion from the kidneys is the definition of a person then my dogs are people. https://t.co/5ALoiRO1vT

We’re guessing his dogs have a much nicer disposition.
@JoshuaHol did you know you are also "just a cluster of cells"? are you suggesting you can be terminated at will?

There are no "pro-abort types." We favor policies that reduce abortions. https://t.co/IGLbpkAaoQ
— Joshua Holland (@JoshuaHol) March 29, 2017
By advancing a cause predicated on the absurd notion that the unborn have no humanity? How does that “reduce abortions,” exactly?
His response to every person who disagreed was a variation of FU. That's impressive. https://t.co/13EO8FGl5P

— Joshua Holland (@JoshuaHol) March 29, 2017
"Pro-life" is a just euphemistic marketing for wanting the state to force women to give birth to unwanted children. Not playing that game.
— Joshua Holland (@JoshuaHol) March 29, 2017
You're not "pro-life" if you want more women being butchered in illegal back-alley abortions. You're a woman-killer.
— Joshua Holland (@JoshuaHol) March 29, 2017
All of this vitriol because I won't stand for being accused of being in favor of infanticide. Well, I won't, so fuck you.
— Joshua Holland (@JoshuaHol) March 29, 2017
I'm OK with people claiming to be pro-life if they're opposed to abortion, the death penalty and war. Not many of them out there.
— Joshua Holland (@JoshuaHol) March 29, 2017
And keep in mind that all of these wingnuts shouting at me oppose the very progressive policies that have been *proven* to reduce abortion.
— Joshua Holland (@JoshuaHol) March 29, 2017
The hypocrisy is really stunning, especially when they oppose mandating insurers cover contraceptives. Storks don't really bring babies.

Anyway, aside from climate change denialism, no movement is based on as many blatant falsehoods and distortions as forced child-birtherism.

Abortions give you cancer, tiny fetuses feel pain — it's all hokum. Without it, they'd only have religious justifications for denying care.
