Pro-life leader Lila Rose battled British journalist Isabel Webster this month, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, kicking abortion restrictions back to the states.
As Webster continually suggested that women in American don’t have adequate “rights,” Rose informed the journalist on what the overturning of Roe v. Wade actually does, and compared abortion restrictions in England to America.
“Lots of women — daughters, sisters — have fewer rights than their mothers,” Webster contended, suggesting abortion access is a right.
“That’s incorrect,” Rose responded. “What you’re not understanding is that almost 80% of Americans want abortion restrictions. And what Roe v. Wade prevented most states from doing is having meaningful abortion restrictions.”
“Even in England there are abortion restrictions that are more strict than in many states in the United States, right now,” Rose pointed out. “In England, you can’t have an abortion after about 24 weeks of pregnancy. In the United States, we have some states that permit abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.”
“So it is a bare minimum to allow states in the United States to protect children,” she continued. “Roe v. Wade prevented communities to protecting children in their vicinities, and finally we have that opportunity now that it has been overruled.”
Rose also clashed with Webster when the journalist suggested pro-lifers do not care about children who are killed by people with guns, echoing the silly but popular pro-abortion meme, “guns have more rights than women.”
“A lot of people … look at America and think, this is a country where a whole bunch of children were just murdered in a primary school, lots of people saying guns have more rights than women. What do you make of that?”
“Well, guns have killed 7,000 children a year in the United States, which is horrific. Abortion has killed, and is killing, under legal abortion in the United States over 600,000 children every single year,” Rose pushed back. “So it is so vital that we fight to reduce abortions, that we ban abortions, that we help women and provide them the resources that they need, and that we educate women and men on the value of human life in the womb.”
“You know, birth doesn’t make you human,” Rose continued. “You don’t become human magically at birth; you’re human before birth.”
“Humans deserve human rights,” she added. “We need to acknowledge the human right to life of a child, even the most vulnerable child in the womb, and make our societies more welcoming to human life, instead of offering them up to abortionists to be killed for profit.”
