Brit Hume’s Epic Takedown Of the Abortion Industry Gets Attention
On Tuesday, the day the second CMP (Center for Medical Progress) investigative video dealing with the Planned Parenthood “baby parts” business was released, a number of respected journalists broke the “objectivity” code and went on record with straight-from-the-heart, powerful monologues against the entire abortion industry. Some, like Brett Baier’s Special Report panel and USA Today op-ed commentator Kirsten Powers, have spoken extremely bluntly.
Brit Hume was also one of the first widely known and respected television journalists to unload on Planned Parenthood:
That’s because it laid bare the essentially brutal nature of abortion. Let’s be blunt. Abortion involves the extraction and killing of a human life, which, within a couple weeks of pregnancy, has a beating heart. Five weeks in, its hands and legs begin to grow. It is these tiny creatures and too often ones that are far more developed that are pulled from a mother’s womb and crushed with forceps — O, but O so carefully lest body parts that could later be sold aren’t preserved. This gruesome procedure shows how we as a people have been anesthetized …
It is a powerful “giving voice to the voiceless” commentary. I have embedded the video clip below, and then beneath that a few Twitter responses.
