Dem Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declares abortion a ‘life-sustaining’ service but banned much-needed elective medical procedures.

14

Whitmer has been hit with protests and some lawsuits over her stay-at-home order, which some have said is too restrictive. Protesters swarmed Michigan’s capital city, Lansing, on Wednesday to protest the policy.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer is a ghoul. She is a dangerous ideologue who knows nothing about science and doesn’t care to learn. Whitmer deems elective abortion “essential” because the abortion industry has funded her political career. She’s encouraging liquor and lotto ticket sales because sin taxes levied on the poorest people in Michigan fund her government. She bans church services because she knows who her political opponents are. These aren’t decisions rooted in epidemiology. They are partisan political decisions, every one. And she’s not the only governor making them.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declares abortion a ‘life-sustaining’ service

By Jessica Chasmar – The Washington Times – Friday, April 17, 2020

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said abortion is a “life-sustaining” health care procedure that must remain available during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Democratic governor spoke about the importance of abortion services during David Axelrod’s “The Axe Files” podcast Wednesday.

“We stopped elective surgeries here in Michigan,” Ms. Whitmer responded. “Some people have tried to say that that type of a procedure is considered the same and that’s ridiculous,” she added, referring to abortion.

“A woman’s health care, her whole future, her ability to decide if and when she starts a family is not an election, it is fundamental to her life,” she continued. “It is life sustaining and it’s something that government should not be getting in the middle of. “

Mr. Axelrod asked Ms. Whitmer whether she thought conservatives were using the pandemic as a “back door” way to try to permanently ban abortions or if temporarily banning them during the crisis was a “legitimate public policy decision.”

“My gut is it’s the former,” the governor replied. “I’m not in Texas, I don’t know all the individuals involved, but I do think there is a concerted effort to use every opportunity to take away women’s ability to make our own health care decisions.”

Well, she won 13 out of 83 counties. Look at a map and you can figure out where those 13 counties are located. I live in Michigan and am disgusted with her edict.

I suppose you mean as opposed to the moochers, looters and jihadists in that state’s midst who put her in, in the first place. (And also put in Rashida Tlaib.)

When most advanced western {and now eastern} countries encourage terminations as some form of liberated feminist method of birth control you can guess you’re on a slippery slope of moral confusion.

When a PC right on feminist socialist sister make headroom for such beliefs, that should illustrate how “caring” some actually are.

Speak out and vote accordingly.

Societal genocide by terminations in order to facilitate societal genocide by replacement through mass immigration are two sides of the exact same coin.

And societal genocide by terminations coupled with societal genocide by replacement through mass immigration is a crime against humanity. Notice how many pro-abortion extremists are also massive open-borders fetishists who don’t utter a peep about the high birth rates among the illegals and Muslims in our midst.

How is allowing (indeed, promoting) abortions equating to a “life-sustaining” measure? Evil doesn’t even begin to describe what this devil’s disciple is doing.

I am still fuzzy on this “banning” BS that a governor can unilaterally ban something from a State without the house voting on LAW???? Whee in any Constitution is that legal? Of course DICKtators do it everyday!!!!

This governor and her ilk in the abortion culture also have the blood of at least one murdered baby on her hands. No sooner did she take her oath of office last year than a 22-year-old new mother named Marylinn Feher suffocated her newborn son to death, then arranged for her husband to dump the baby’s corpse into a garbage disposal – the ultimate encapsulation of the Left’s overall attitude towards life (i.e. highly worthless and, well, disposable). (Half-)Whitmer’s types are the ones who basically incentivize mothers to commit such infanticides, through their encouraging Wild West-style policies on abortion, their conspiring to drive pro-life pregnancy centers out of business, their outlawing ultrasound machines from all women’s health clinics, and their shutting off the option of women having a baby and then having the baby put up for adoption (which was very commonplace in the Great Depression, B.T.W.).

“I do think there is a concerted effort to use every opportunity to take away women’s ability to make our own health care decisions.” Said the woman who originally outlawed a cure for the Chinese Wuhan plague.

“Life-sustaining”? For whom?

Have you ever noticed that those who campaign the loudest in favor of abortion have already been born?
