St. Louis Mayor: I Like Abortion Because Our City Makes Money

Since Texas passed Senate Bill 8 or the “Heartbeat Bill,” pro-abortion activists have been hosting “Stop the Bans” rallies throughout the country. Students for Life of America leaders were on the ground in Saint Louis and Chicago to respond to these protests and show that the Pro-Life Generation will not give up the ground it has recently gained.  

Saint Louis, Missouri

Dozens of abortion supporters rallied for abortion at the Old Courthouse downtown. Among these protesters were two prominent city figures—St. Louis City Mayor Tishaura Jones and Representative Cori Bush. Both women spoke at the podium on the steps of the courthouse, advocating for abortion. Mayor Jones commented on how abortion brings funding into the city, demonstrating that abortion supporters see dollar signs where pro-life advocates see dismembered babies and damaged women.

Ironically, both women also made comments about “inhumanity.” The Pro-Life Generation understands that abortion is an inhumane, immoral practice- akin to child sacrifice, as the Archbishop of San Francisco said earlier this week. However, these abortion supporters were ironically referring to the abortion bans as inhumane- which is like saying making contract killing (assassins or hitmen) illegal is inhumane.

During the rally, several Planned Parenthood “clinic escorts” blocked SFLA students and Lucy Gonzalez, the Missouri-Arkansas Regional Coordinator, from walking across one end of the sidewalk to the other. SFLA attendees also received many insults, including a man telling Lucy, “If there is a God, He hates you.” READ MORE
