Speakers and delegates at this year’s Democratic National Convention chastised Pro-Life laws and swore to make the United States one of the most pro-abortion countries on planet earth. Abortion was celebrated more than ever, and that was evident by the speakers chosen for the event.

When it came time for the Texas delegation to cast their votes, former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, a native Texan, took the mic to introduce Kate Cox to speak. Cox, who Richards called a “Texas heroine,” garnered national media attention in December when she sued the state to abort her preborn child diagnosed with a life-limiting illness.

The media heralded her lawsuit as necessary to save Cox’s life, but in reality, her pro-abortion doctor told her that the risks of pregnancy outweighed the benefits of having a child with a disability.

If a mother’s life is in jeopardy, Texas law allows doctors to intervene immediately, such as through C-section or induction. Cox’s attorneys did not argue in court that her condition would irrevocably harm her, and other doctors filed court briefs asserting that there were other available medical options to care for the mother and baby. Eventually, Cox aborted her 20-week daughter outside of the state of Texas.

As a mother of two before her complex pregnancy, Cox said she prides herself on being a mom. Despite ending the life of her third child, Cox claimed during her DNC speech that “there is nothing pro-family about abortion bans.”

In reality, abortion rips families apart by killing the youngest member. Abortion tells people that preborn children are disposable, valueless, and that they have to earn their place in their family by being healthy or wanted enough.

Pro-Lifers agree with Cox that “there is nothing Pro-Life about letting women suffer and even die.” That’s why not a single Pro-Life law in the country prohibits medically necessary care for pregnant mothers. Sometimes, medical care provided to save a woman’s life will tragically result in the preborn child passing away. However, this is not the moral equivalent of an abortion, since the intention was to save a life, not to end a life. In Cox’s case, the abortion she sought was to end the life of her child.

Cox finished her speech by telling the DNC crowd that her abortion allowed her to get pregnant again, and that she’s due in January, “just in time to see Kamala Harris sworn in.” She celebrated her pregnancy with a room full of cheering people who believe that the child could be aborted moments later in Planned Parenthood’s bus outside the venue.

Cox is not, as she says, a mother of two. She is a mother of four: two born children, one preborn child, and one deceased child. We pray for the Cox family, for a safe delivery of her youngest child, and for her conversion.

Democrats are fighting harder than ever, and they are revealing how extreme they are on abortion. They will not stop lying and manipulating the public until they get their way.
