Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Pregnant Women Are Not ‘Mothers’

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently said that pregnant women are not mothers, particularly pregnant women who choose to have an abortion.

The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 on Tuesday in favor of Indiana’s abortion law which requires medical facilities to give dignified burials to children aborted at their location.

The Daily Wire reports, “Though conservative Justice Clarence Thomas concurred with the court’s opinion, he argued that his colleagues made a mistake by choosing to forgo ruling on whether or not Indiana could ban abortions for sex-selective or eugenic purposes.”

“It was his use of the word ‘mother’ in his dissent that his fellow colleague Justice Ginsburg took most issue with,” notes The Daily Wire. Thomas’s concern that creating a constitutional right to an abortion “based solely on the race, sex, or disability of an unborn child, as Planned Parenthood advocates, would constitutionalize the views of the 20th-century eugenics movement,” was not received well by Ginsburg.

LifeNews reports, “Justice Ginsburg took issue: ‘(A) woman who exercises her constitutionally protected right to terminate a pregnancy is not a ‘mother.'”

Not a MOTHER?!?

What would Justice Ginsburg say to the countless women who have suffered the pain and tragic loss when a miscarriage occurs? Were they also not “mothers?”

In an op-ed for LifeNews, Brian Kemper recalled how he and his wife chose to have a funeral for their son who the couple lost through a miscarriage:

The doctor pointed to the container holding our son and said he would “take care of that.” I told him, “No, we are going to have a funeral.”

My wife and I sat down with our other children and looked at our son’s body and asked them to name him. We chose Benjamin Davis Kemper. Benjamin Davis Kemper is as much my child as any of our living children. Benjamin Davis is buried in a cemetery in Troy, OH where he was given the dignity he deserved with a funeral and burial.

My family visits Benjamin’s gravesite regularly; we go to mourn the loss of one of our family members, not the loss of a pregnancy. Even if we had not had any other children we would still be parents.

“It is necessary for the abortion industry to propagate lies like the one told by Justice Ginsburg in order to justify taking the life of innocent human children by abortion,” Kemper added. “They must continue this narrative in order to try and convince society that the act of terminating the life of a living human person is really just terminating a pregnancy.”

Who would dare tell anyone heartbroken over a miscarriage that she was not a real “mother?”

Ruth Bader Ginsburg? Don’t bet on it.
