Over 900,000 Children Were Forcibly Torn from Their Mothers in 2017

Spread the love

While most of the people quoted below were talking about separating children and parents who had illegally entered the United States, the emotions and the outrage should also apply to the thousands of babies who are forcibly torn from their mothers every day via abortion. How can we really condemn one behavior but accept the other?

Yes, the mothers might have agreed to be separated from their babies via abortion, but the babies certainly did not agree to be torn from their mothers’ bodies and killed. If you really believe that separating families at the border is wrong, then you should also be outraged at forcibly tearing children from their mothers’ wombs. Why are you silent about this incredible tragedy?

Fight Abortion Now. Don't forcibly tear children from their mothers!

God bless the supporters of little children, both the born and the unborn, both domestic and foreign children. God bless the lovers of children. #familiesbelongtogether #keepfamiliestogether

Tearing children away from their parents is so evil, it’s the inciting incident in almost every movie we’ve ever cared about. — Samantha Bee, comedienne

And that is exactly why abortion is the most evil thing ever. It is literally tearing children out of their mothers. Real children. Children hungering to live. Children crying out for life. Children we should be standing up for. Absolutely.

I call on all of America not to sit comfortably and be bystanders to … the injustices of separation of families that are going on, of separating American children through our broken criminal justice system that has thousands of children right now, incarcerated in the United States of America, who haven’t even had a trial yet. I think we all should be not sitting comfortably, idly by, while these moral outrages are going on, and we should protest. — Cory Booker, U.S. senator

I call on all of America not to sit comfortably by while children are torn from their mothers’ wombs via abortion. We should clearly not be sitting idly by while this moral outrage is going on. We should protest with all our hearts.

For those who would use the Holy Scripture to justify tearing children from the arms of their mother… we put the record straight: Jesus said ‘Suffer the little children, forbid them NOT to come onto me’… Not make the little children suffer! — Bono, singer and songwriter

Speak out also about the children being forcibly torn from their mothers’ wombs. Please. Listen to the real Jesus, as you just quoted.

Americans pride ourselves on being a moral nation, on being the nation that sends humanitarian relief to places devastated by natural disasters or famine or war. We pride ourselves on believing that people should be seen for the content of their character, not the color of their skin. We pride ourselves on acceptance. If we are truly that country, then it is our obligation … to stop separating parents and children in the first place. — Laura Bush, former first lady

We pride ourselves on being a moral nation except, alas, when it comes to abortion. Isn’t it time we returned to morality?

If the traditional pro-life movement is to regain credibility as something other than a tool of the Trump administration, it must speak out clearly and forcefully against harming innocent children as a means of deterring undocumented immigration. — Charles Camosy, professor

And, in turn, those speaking out against innocent children being taken from their parents must speak out clearly and forcefully against tearing children out of their mother’s wombs. That argument has to run both ways.

I’ve studied the Bible, both the Old and the New Testament. And what is being done using the name of religion is contrary to everything I was ever taught. Jesus said, “suffer the little children unto me.” He did not say, let the children suffer. So the test of any nation is how we treat the most vulnerable among us. — Hillary Clinton, presidential candidate

What is being done in the name of the law is contrary to what Jesus taught. Jesus would never have supported abortion. Never. Speak out also about the most vulnerable children being forcibly torn from their mothers’ wombs. Please.

Nursing infants ripped away from their mothers. … Everyone of us who has ever held a child in their arms, and every human being with a sense of compassion and decency should be outraged. — Hillary Clinton, presidential candidate

Give us all a break! What is more uncivil and cruel than tearing children away via abortion? That is what should be met with resolve and strength. Children’s lives are truly at stake. Abortion kills!

Using 2,000 children—pulling them out of the arms of their parents—is as disgusting a process as I’ve ever seen, and it really says as a country we should take a look in the mirror, and, duhhh, are we still the United States of America? — Andrew Cuomo, New York governor

Using 900,000 children—tearing them out of the wombs of their mothers—is as disgusting a process as I’ve ever seen. As a country, we really should take a look in the mirror.

Real men should never support the killing of their children. — Obianuju Ekeocha, author of Target Africa

Real men and real feminists should never support the killing of their own children via abortion. Absolutely never.

Well, this is the United States of America. It isn’t Nazi Germany, and there’s a difference, and we don’t take children from their parents, until now. — Dianne Feinstein, U.S. senator

But we have been forcibly tearing children away from their mothers since 1973. Not just now. Awaken to the reality, senator.

I have heard that it’s fashionable, or at least usual, that when in the first months of pregnancy they do studies to see if the child is healthy or has something, the first offer is: let’s send it away. I say this with pain: In the last century the whole world was scandalized about what the Nazis did to purify the race. Today we do the same, but now with white gloves. — Pope Francis

It’s not just a question of killing children in the womb because they might be born unhealthy. It’s an absolute question of killing children ever. In the womb. Or out of the womb.

If it’s true that the arc of the moral universe bends towards justice, let’s please help it bend a little faster, for the sake of these vulnerable children. — Mindy Kaling, actress

The arc of the moral universe will bend toward justice. It has to for the sake of the most vulnerable children: those in the womb unable to speak up for themselves.

Separating children from their parents is just wrong. … Let’s get it right. We’re America. We have a big heart. We love people. At the end of the day, we don’t want to create an image that we don’t care, because we really do. — John Kasich, Ohio governor

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what image we create if we allow abortion to continue. We do have a big heart. We love people. We should, of course, also love the children living in their mother’s womb.

Families are the backbone of society. A policy that pulls them apart rather than building them up is immoral and just plain wrong. — Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber CEO

And I hope he cries every night for the 3,000 babies taken from their mothers every day via abortion. They will definitely never see their mothers, never see their fathers, never see the light of day. Yes, Mr. Lewis, it is time not only to cry about such killing but also to take right action.

Save our babies. History will not be kind to us as a nation and as a people if we continue to go down this road. — John Lewis, U.S. representative

History will judge us for allowing abortion to continue. For allowing over 53 million babies to be killed since 1973. And that number only counts American babies.

Reading the news about the separation of children from their families, I can’t help but think about my own children. I cannot fathom a world where they would be ripped from my arms, taken to a place no better than a prison far from home. I feel we will never forget this moment in time. Bearing witness to these atrocities and that’s what they are, I can say for sure, remaining silent is not an option. … Supporting one another in these troubled times, we can remain on the right side of history: the side where children are safe and in their parents arms. Act now, call now, speak now, LOVE now. #familiesbelongtogether #lovenothate — Jennifer Lopez, actress and singer

ICE is operating exactly as designed when it rips screaming children from parents.
