Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R-VA) said “children are looking for meaning” while noting the irony of pro-abortion teenage girls protesting in front of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s home.
Members of the Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights group protested outside Barrett’s home Saturday in anticipation of a decision in Dobbs v. Women’s Health Organization that is expected to overturn abortion rights established under Roe v. Wade.

“I have no words when I see these grotesque images,” Sears told Fox & Friends on Sunday. “I wonder what country am I living in? And what is the mindset that would cause this to happen?”
Sears also questioned what role the girls’ parents are playing in their lives, noting the anti-abortion rhetorical point that their presence is only possible because of a mother’s decision to choose life.

“It must be that their parents feel the same and think the same as they do, and don’t they realize the irony of this? The reason why you are here is because at some point, your mother was pro-choice. And that’s why you, my dears, are here. Otherwise, you would not be,” Sears said. “I’m telling you, our country is confused, and it’s grotesque.”
The lieutenant governor slammed what she views as society’s abandonment of valuing family and religion as primary causes for the confusion.
“We’ve left God behind, plain and simple,” Sears said. “And I don’t know what we’re going to do because we keep calling on him only when there is a crisis, and he’s probably saying, ‘Don’t you know me at any other time?’”

“Fathers are important. We know that, but we have emasculated our men,” Sears added. “We have said fathers are not important, and we have government programs that remove fathers from the home, and this is one of the reasons why our black community has been destroyed.”
“Everybody knows that the family is the bedrock of any society because it is in the family that the child learns how to be, how to be cultivated, how to be mannerly, how to have values,” she continued. “And if we don’t have that, then things go awry. And you see, our society, our children, are looking for meaning.”
