In Brief:
During the recent SOTU atrocity, at least two Democrats wore pro-abortion pins in place of the traditional American flag pin. Their actions showed that their first loyalty is to votes, not democracy.
The Background:
U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts, and U.S. Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pennsylvania, both posted photos of themselves on social media wearing golden lapel pins that read “ABORTION” with a stylized O with a heart inside, reports LifeNews.
Rep. Dean tweeted: “I say the word, I wear the word. Abortion is health care. Abortion saves lives.”
According to Merriam-Webster, however, abortion is death – not healthcare:
Abortion:noun “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus”
These pins were a “gift” from Planned Parenthood. PP spends gross amounts in ensuring pro-abortion Democrats are elected so they can continue aborting nearly 400,000 babies annually.
Notable Quotes:
“I’m wearing my abortion pin from [Planned Parenthood] to tonight’s State of the Union address. Abortion is essential healthcare and we need to codify this right.” – Sen Markey (D-MA)
