Rep. Christopher Smith (R-NJ) on Abortion

During a U.S. House debate (seen on C-SPAN) on 2011 Federal Spending, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) comments on abortion and Planned Parenthood. After reading from the book "Unplanned" by Abby Johnson, detailing an abortion procedure, Smith comments, "I ask members to read this book, 'Unplanned' and realize the scandal of the killing of these unborn children and calling it choice. There is nothing whatsoever benign or caring or generous or just or compassionate or nurturing about abortion."

What is his solution for the girls and women who are victims of sex trafficking? Maybe he should replay their images over and over in his mind and start fighting that battle. Does he have a plan for these babies if they are all born and unwanted? I'd like to hear an argument in its entirety - one that is thought out from start to finish, Sir.

@Rhoslyn100 eh I think you should have probably been aborted.

I may not agree with a pro life position but I respect it but when you say a woman pregnant due to rape will be forced to give birth to the rapist baby and have no say in the matter they that view needs to be dismissed outright. Also ask these extreme pro life people does the right to "Pursue extend to Gay Citizens" ?

@ElectricPineapple79 Woah now! NOBODY should be aborted because everybody deserves to claim their right to life. We were all innocent and vulnerable human beings and we should grant that same right to every single baby conceived in the womb. Abortion is wrong. Nobody, not even those who support abortion should ever be denied their right to life.

Go Chris Smith! What an amazing man!! We need more people like him in politics! Notice how that grey haired man stops laughing when Chris describes the horrific abortion procedure. Yes, that's right, that baby is dead and so are millions of others. It's no laughing matter!

what a fucking pervert. he's getting paid to do that. go get a real job!

[Gpacharlie]

but why are you angry with me. Abortion was your choice, not mine. I am just advocating a policy of informed choice where both the father and mother of the child are required to be informed of the development stage of the child in the womb.

What do you mean you are no longer putting up with us. Please clarify.

Have you studied up on fetal development or is yours a purely emotional opinion. Your outburst is indicative of a very conflicted emotional state. God can and will forgive anyone of anything as long as that person is sincere and humbly admits to the mistake. Please respond to this with a reasoned opinion from the facts and please don't use the Creator's name in such a hateful way. I understand that you made a personal choice
