Cathy Giessel Advocates for Abortion

When the amendment is to prevent abortion funding comes up, there’s only two ways this can go: either you vote to prevent abortion, or you vote to kill babies.

When a $0.00 abortion de-funding amendment was offered by Senator Shelley Hughes, two Senators spoke on the amendment.

Senator Bill Wielechowski (D) spoke against the amendment, as he is obligated to do as a pro-abortion Democrat.  Because he’s a lawyer, he veiled his abortion advocacy in legal mumbo-jumbo that, when it comes out of the sausage grinder, makes sense only to abortion advocates.

Senator Giessel began her floor speech with a disclaimer: “I’m a big supporter of the idea that an unborn child is a child.”

She then let us all know that she’s paid for the right to say whatever comes next, as she’s an “annual donor” to Pregnancy Resource Centers.

Senator Cathy Giessel’s pro-life credential cannot be challenged: she gives money to pro-life organizations, and she believes that children are children.

Okay. 

Before we get to her vote to fund abortions, she said a few other interesting things you should know about.

“There are a lot of reasons for termination of a pregnancy.”  No there are not.

Speaking about states that have or will have laws that restrict abortions, Senator Giessel, who is a licensed nurse practitioner – a healthcare provider herself – goes on to say, “Healthcare providers are unsure whether they should offer assistance to a woman in an emergency room who was hemorrhaging.”

Does Ms. Giessel actually believe – and want you to believe – that we’re killing 2,300 babies a day in America because women would die if their doctors couldn’t kill their babies?

Are we really supposed to believe that the 685 women that performed Self-Managed Chemical Abortions last year went into the ER hemorrhaging, and were sent home with a DIY abortion kit?

Has pregnancy become such a crisis in Alaska that the number of later term abortions has skyrocketed 975% in the past 5 years?

Why haven’t we heard about this crisis?

Why hasn’t Senator Cathy Giessel, the nurse practitioner sounded the alarm?

Obviously, because the only alarm we should be ringing is the alarm that our state licenses doctors to kill babies and then pays for nearly half of those killings.

After rambling around premature births and other very bizarre baby killing ideas, Ms. Giessel got to the point:  “the amendment is to prevent abortion.”

That’s right.  The amendment would prevent as many as 803 babies’ deaths in the coming year simply by prohibiting the State from funding those abortions.
