Of all the stupid pro-abortion arguments out there, and there are too many to count, the dumbest of all may be that made by Brian Sims, the belligerently pro-choice Pennsylvania state representative recently famous for shrieking at pro-life protesters outside a Planned Parenthood clinic. Sims did the world a great service by recording his hysterical haranguing of those protesters. He is, in substance at least, the radical pro-abortion movement personified.
Laying into a woman peacefully praying the rosary outside the abortion clinic, Sims asked her: “How many children have you clothed today? How many children have you put shoes on their feet today? Have you fed any children today?” The implication is that if pro-lifers are not willing to assume all the costs associated with raising unwanted children, they should not be opposed to killing them in utero.
