An astounding majority of the stagnation and hostility of the abortion debate stems from both sides impugning the other’s motives. Most pro-life people simply want to protect the lives of the unborn, not control women’s bodies. Most pro-choice people simply do not view a zygote or a fetus as a human life, or, as the polls point to, view abortion as a necessary evil that ought to be limited to rare occasions.
Jameela JamilÂ
I had an abortion when I was young, and it was the best decision I have ever made. Both for me, and for the baby I didnât want, and wasnât ready for, emotionally, psychologically and financially. So many children will end up in foster homes. So many lives ruined. So very cruel.
Jamil concedes here that what she terminated was not a sack of cells. It wasn’t an insentient fetus incapable of pain. It wasn’t an entity devoid of a heartbeat.
She calls the thing she terminated a baby.
The shockingly less pernicious argument with this concession would have simply been to argue that her abortion was a trade-off. She could say that her abortion was the best decision for her, and the baby was just collateral damage. Slate’s Will Saletan frequently writes in this philosophical space, and while I disagree with him, he has a body of ideologically consistent and interesting moral cases for the pro-choice cause.
But instead, Jamil comes to a horrifying logical conclusion: that kids in foster care couldn’t possibly have a life worth living.
It’s called rationalization, She knows it was evil and immoral so she has to justify it in her mind.
It is the same reason why so many women who have abortions become alcoholics and drug addicted, they know they have committed an evil act and drink or drug to avoid the reality of what they had done.
Murder. She admits it.
I have two adopted children who are well balanced happy adults today.
I thank God and their birth mothers.
What about Babe Ruth, he grew up in an orphanage. The greatest baseball player of all time should have been put down?
God Bless you & your wife forever Mickey M.
Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy’s, was an orphan. So are a lot of people more worthwhile than this ‘actress’.
never heard of her. she must be desperate to get her name out, what with this.
was she in a harvey weinstein movie or something?
I hope the day comes when someone like her makes the statements like she does, then her parents come forward and enlighten her that she is adopted. I would pay for that. Well, not the whole lot, but I would chip in some.
What gets me is that in all their arguments and excuses they make no mention of using any birth control
Entertainment people promote evil. They are sick in the head. I never even heard of this actress, but she gets attention for murdering another human being. She says bringing an unwanted kid into the world is “cruel”. These people can’t be serious, or can they?
“Sure, we killed 6 million Jews. But weren’t emotionally ready to have so many Jews in our country. It was best for both the Jews and us.”
– Hitler & Friends
As someone that was adopted at birth, I totally reject this woman’s justification. There are so many people that are looking to adopt, especially at birth babies. I have never put any effort into finding my natural “mother”, the only reason I would like to meet her is to find out my medical background and to thank her for giving me the best life possible.
Is that Jussie Smollet in drag?
Anti-abortion people have no problem with a womanâs right to control her own body.
We just want women to control it earlier, by NOT getting pregnant.
There are way too many ways to prevent pregnancy FREE! Go to Planned Parenthood not Planned Butcher Shop.
She’s a dumbass actress, driven nuts by her nercissism. What else to expect? – her keeping her legs closed?
Here is the thing pro-abortion people fall into two categories: Group 1.Profoundly ignorant, misguided fools. I believe Jamil falls into that category. Group 2.Nefarious self-centered sociopaths. This group knows that fetus’ are human beings. They do not care. The first group can be educated. I was at one time in that first group. I am now staunchly pro-human. The second group can never be educated or cured. They can only be stopped.
This murdering POS will get her comeuppance someday and I hope I am there to see it.
If not, I hope she enjoys her eternity in hell for murdering her child.
Good luck trying to use that line on St. Peter ms. Jamil.
Typical, imbecilic straw man argument. Abort, or the childâs life is ruined in foster care hell, she says. There are plenty of couples who have waited for years and jumped through innumerable hoops for the privilege of raising a child or who want to add to their family. She could have had her pick. Adoption lawyers have binders full of pictures and letters from couples who are begging to be chosen by a birth mother. They will pay her medical bills. Her argument does not make sense. She should just be honest – while being honest that this is a baby – and admit she doesnât want the inconvenience of carrying a baby to term, of the changes to her body, of the failure to take responsibility for her actions, but most damning, that she has no regard for the sanctity of human life.

Because people being who they are, doing what they truly want, can not possibly be. What are we to call such thinking?
Guess it’s time to start killing the newborn autistic kids.
If only her Mom had made the same choice,,,
instead of raising a spoiled POS like this to learn how to breath,,
