NC Gov. Bev Perdue: Abortion Ban Would Mean a Return to ‘Coat Hangers in the Bathtub’ & ‘You’ll See Women Die’

North Carolina Bev Perdue: Abortion Ban Means Coat Hangers in the Bathtub, Women Will Die | Hardball with Chris Matthews

(Photo: AP via Politico)

North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue (D) made a number of shocking claims on “Hardball” with Chris Matthews Monday, broadcasting from Charlotte for the Democratic National Convention.

The panel was discussing social issues when Perdue said of conservatives: “May I make a point?  I’ve never seen a bunch like this here so against regulation, Chris.  They want less, less, less. And then it comes to a woman in the bedroom and they want to control everything. I don’t get that.”

She did not note that a Democrat administration has taken over a significant percentage of the American health care system.

When Chris Matthews asked Perdue to elaborate, she said that a ban on abortions will only drive the practice underground, bringing back the deadly days of “coat hangers in the bathtub.”

“You’ll see women die,” she asserted.

Watch the video below, via the Daily Caller:

Perdue added that Republicans are trying to “ram through” an end to Roe v. Wade, saying it is the “end game” in every state in America and “right out of Karl Rove’s playbook.”

The governor concluded, referencing widely-denounced Todd Akin: “People have got to stand up– women [who are] standing– it might be their daughter or their granddaughter who is raped, and there’s no such thing as ‘legitimate rape.’  A rape is a rape, and that young woman should have a choice about what to do with her body and her life.”

    So who is defending the innocent child who may be a product of rape? Why is the child an insignificant human being to these women? Yes, the rape itself was a violent act and the woman keeping the child could be a constant reminder, but the child is INNOCENT in all this. Why do they not have rights? Only selfish women abort their babies.

    Have you noticed Democrats find any and every excuse for woman to abort a child? That is disgusting to me.

      Again this fascination with killing one’s offspring. I don’t get the liberal mindset. Their most vehemently discussed and defended issues are abortion and same sex marriage. The whole country is going to hell in a hand basket financially and every single one of them is screaming about killing their own children and letting queers take over everything like that makes a difference.

      “referencing widely-denounced Todd Akin” this is a lie as numerous right wing individuals who wanted to gain some attention such as Huckabee supported Akin. And the personhood bills that are appearing, including the one put forth by Ryan is goes beyond abortion to limit a woman’s CHOICE regarding birth control options. It’s not a question of if the baby is innocent or not, it is whether the woman choose to get pregnant, which in the case of rape she did not, and second her CHOICE to undo an unwanted pregnancy. So your position is that a woman who doesn’t want to recognize and have the baby of a man who raped her is selfish. Perhaps people who seek to utilize the state to impose their views on others and infringe on the liberty, freedom and civil rights of others are just a tad selfish. Let’s keep in mind your beliefs, faith and civil rights end at the tip of my nose, as that’s where mine begin.

      Again: Abortion is simply one of the trojan horse issues used to usher in the platform of the New World Order. Unsuspecting and gullible women are simply the TOOLS in said agenda. One world government, control the food supply, control communications, control coal, oil, gas industry, banks, auto industry, control speech, control the military, control the people, CONTROL POPULATION GROWTH. ZERO POPULATION GROWTH IS ONE OF THE PLATFORMS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER. ABORTION, AS A “WOMEN’S RIGHTS” ISSUE, IS NOTHING MORE THAN A MEANS TO AN END FOR THESE POWERFUL PEOPLE WHO ARE USHERING IN SOCIALISM/MARXISM/COMMUNISM. Please women, wake up and stop being used as pawns in a game that is more evil than you can imagine.

      The murder of and the shedding of the blood of innocent children is only acceptable to democrats and their wicked evil embracing party. This democrat convention is shake your fist at and spit in the face of the Almighty Creator God, Jesus Christ His only begotten Son and his Covenant people and Land. The pathological lying, deceiving, corrupt, irrational democrat party are showing the nation who they truly are they must think that their election corrupting vote manipulating and manufacturing machinery are so powerful under Obama that they will win this election hands down. Obama has already promised Putin that he will be able to do his bidding after he is reelected and has now turned America’s official policy openly against Israel and support for Israel’s enemies and ours as well as western civilization. The so called democrat and independent voters must be the ignorant, foolish, uninformed people in history. apparently liberty, freedom and constitutional limited government is not what want for their children or grandchildren; totalitarianism and slavery is their preferred systems for living their lives.

      As far as this seeing women die argument- we already are. Whether it be by suicide or lack of competence in the “physician” the woman has death surrounding this decision. So is the death of a child worth dying over to begin with? I think that’s sick.

      Philly just another idiotic liberal making idiotic assumptions. With sex comes personal responsibility. I know this is a hard concept for you idiots to comprehend, but it can be done.

      All forms must be utilized, but 1st and foremost – personal responsibility. If you can’t afford to have a child, take birth control, use condoms or abstain. In the case of rape, many women are on some type of birth control, those who are not account for the 3% that get pregnant from rape. Why were they not on birth control; were they drug addicts or due to religious beliefs. I don’t know.

      Women who find themselves with an unwanted pregnancy with no means to care for the child have no one to blame but themselves. So they decide killing the child is there only option. Murder is murder, just as rape is rape.

      @Philly…this is where progressives misuse logic…intercourse between man and woman, by nature design or Gods design is to produce offspring…..you know what the action brings about, therefore comes the responsibility of that action, not saying there are not some added benefits from sex like a closeness and bonding to a partner, but that goes along with responsibility of the act…if you are too young, too emotionally immature, or if you do not want the responsibility for the outcome of the choice..then DON”T DO IT!!! It is that simple, and please to not down play that teens can’t control….People have lived under the premise of responsibility in more generations than the few decades of “free love” the USA has endured…

Dr. Calderone herself concluded that “90% of all illegal abortions are presently done by physicians.”

    N.C. Gov. Beverly Perdue, abortions are legal and many women are still dying from the procedure, and it’s always fatal for the aborted baby.

    Maybe if pregnant women had to choose between an alley abortion with a coat hanger or having the baby and adopting him or her out to a nice family, just maybe the pregnant women would choose to carry the baby nine months. We can only hope.

    Then to make matters worse in the U.S, if a woman decides to get an abortion, then possibly having children down the road in time. Her uterus is semi-damaged maybe leading to several miscarriages, and then she’ll be more so seeking sympathy for the miscarriages out of guilt for the abortion she had previously, because a guilty soul is upon her. Then if she has children of her own, she will be far too much of an impressing parent, over-bearing on the children leading them astray with her over-manipulating rule over them. America is such a twisted nation.

    I wonder if she has ever thought that a ban on “doesn’t matter what for” abortion, might make people be a bit more thoughtfull about what they do? It seems to me, and I could be wrong, that ‘whatever” abortion turned woman into more of sex objects than anything else could have done? If it doesn’t matter and you can just get rid of it, doesn’t that favor men not caring about the woman they have sex with? If woman truely want respect, does flushing a baby away give them respect? As an observation, men will take what is offered with no strings attached (not all) and go on with their lives. Where does this leave woman, since they are the ones who have to make the decision and live with it? Has abortion been a good thing for them? It would seem to me it has put them in a second class to men, and they do not really get it. If their wombs are destroyed by an abortion, and it happens more than they say, and infertility goes up with haveing abortions, while men go on their merry way, who does abortion help? Men, or women?

    No. People would likely act more responsibly when it comes to family planning. In other words, they would take the necessary precautions, and if they found themselves to be pregnant, they’d carry the baby to term. We can’t keep enabling irresponsibility in this country.

      Here is what an Abortion Ban would really mean: 1. about one-third of all women currently voting Republican would have no reason to do so as surveys have shown 30% of an already abyssmal total of women voting GOP do so solely on the choice issue. 2. The movement to REINSTATE Roe would energize every aspect of Democratic fundraising and recruitment.

      A ban on all abortions might satisfy the base, but it is absolute suicide for the GOP, and Republicans will NEER let it happen.

      Liberals opt for the baby to die because they need a vote NOW, not a MAYBE in 18 years. Babies can’t vote, which is why libs say the hell with ‘em. It’s why none are allowed at the DNC in Charlotte. If they thought they could squeeze a vote out of a baby’s diaper, there would be a Dirty Diaper Bin right next to the Compost Bin in Charlotte, and every mother from sea to shining sea would be told that it was their duty as a female to bring their infants to Charlotte. Also, disposable diapers would be a right guaranteed at taxpayer expense.

    Except the meme of back alley abortion and coat hanger abortions is a lie a scientific study published in a peer-review journal has scientifically disproven both assertions. http://www.mercatornet.com/articles/view/a_ground_breaking_abortion_study_from_chile

    these assertions have been from day one based on fabrications generated by the abortion industry. As Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of NARAL, admitted:

    We aroused enough sympathy to sell our program of permissive abortion by fabricating the number of illegal abortions done annually in the U.S. The actual figure was approaching 100,000 but the figure we gave to the media repeatedly was 1,000,000. Repeating the big lie often enough convinces the public. The number of women dying from illegal abortions was around 200-250 annually. The figure we constantly fed to the media was 10,000. These false figures took root in the consciousness of Americans convincing many that we needed to crack the abortion law.

    “Another myth we fed to the public through the media was that legalizing abortion would only mean that the abortions taking place illegally would then be done legally. In fact, of course, abortion is now being used as a primary method of birth control in the U.S. and the annual number of abortions has increased by 1500% since legalization.

      Tammy foster child of my former husband’s parents was born with severe brain damage; her crackhead mother took cocaine. Doctors said Tammy would never learn and never walk. Steve’s parents would not accept this; they created a special device for Tammy to use to build up leg strength, which allowed her to semi-walk. They taught her colors, they taught her to count. She went to school. Tammy cried and Tammy laughed. Yes Tammy needed lifetime care by someone else, but she in no way deserved to die because she did not meet someone’s definition of perfect.

      COFFE and BIO – thanks for your response. i’m curious, then, if there really are that many people who will adopt a special needs child. on the face of it it seems somewhat less likely, but i’ve never seen any information about this.

      I thought of cases of rape as soon as I posted my comment. That would be about the only somewhat understandable argument…..even though I don’t agree that the baby should be murdered in that instance either.

      A most sad and disgusting reflection of your views, PHILLY, that a medical condition of the child in the womb would cause your friends to murder the baby they created. Why not also kill special needs children after they are born because of the burden? The fact that you use that argument shows your depravity. May God, who you don’t believe in, have mercy on you.

      @Philly, I personally don’t know how the adoption process works as I have not had to go through it, but friends of mine have said that it can take an awful long time, cost thousands of dollars, and there’s no guarantee that the prospective parents will end up with the baby. However, there are couples out there who would love to adopt a child, even one with special needs, to love as their own. I don’t know why this type of adoption isn’t talked about more often, but those special people definitely exist.

      Any fertile individual can be a chromosome donor. Not everyone can be a parent.

      the difference is choice. if someone chooses to carry it to term, then that’s their choice. your comparison to already born special needs children fails. someone chose to have them. that doesn’t give you the right to demand someone else do the same. potentially, you would be forcing a couple or single mother into a life of poverty. not everyone is in a position to care for such children. if adoption is available then i curtail my opinion somewhat, but ultimately it’s still a choice that you don’t get to make. it’s up to the woman and her partner. whether you know it or not, you are forcing your religious views on others. i don’t see an unborn fetus as a human being. you do because you believe in a soul. we have different worldviews, but i’m not trying to force mine unto you.

      Wow…just wow, PHILLY. It is, indeed, a choice……..to murder an innocent baby. It must make life and murder so much easier for you to consider a baby not a human until the child is born.

      Euthanasia won’t be difficult for you to accept. The only problem is……who gets to make the decision that you aren’t worthy of keeping alive any longer because you are a financial burden to society.

      “.to murder an innocent baby.”

      again, it is a baby to YOU. the technical term is a fetus. until born it’s part of the mother. it’s your belief in a soul that makes this so wrong in your world. and that’s fine. live your life that way, but don’t expect everyone to get on board. these are personal decision that you don’t get a say in.

      “Euthanasia won’t be difficult for you to accept.”

      it isn’t, not at all. i fully support it. the only people i know who don’t are religious. i personally am ticked off that i won’t have the option to end my suffering (in the event) because someone else’s relgion thinks it’s wrong.

      It is stunning how you justify in your mind murdering a baby while contradicting yourself, PHILLY. You stated that baby is a child(ren) and would possibly “curtail” your opinion is someone else wanted the child. Your objection is a matter of the child being “wanted” and the financial burden of a special needs child versus a perfect child. What is more stunning is that you freely share here those most depraved views! Wow.

      @Philly, “i don’t see an unborn fetus as a human being.”

      You did NOT just say that! Now, it’s time for this momma to get a bit upset….

      When I was pregnant this time last year, I had one of many ultrasounds that showed my baby moving his little arms and legs and tumbling around like nobody’s business. When I had my amniocentesis, he accidentally got too close to the needle and he flinched. He felt the sensation of of something foreign in his contained environment. I watched THAT on the ultrasound, too. When I had another 4D ultrasound, you could watch his facial expressions changing as he got sleepy and drifted off for a nap. The picture I saw on that screen was NOT one of an inanimate blob of cells.

      THAT WAS MY LIVING BABY BOY.

      For you to deny that any unborn child IS NOT A HUMAN BEING is simply evil. Regardless of your stance on religion and God, that “opinion” of yours is denying basic humanity to the most vulnerable among us. A baby is not a tumor or a malignant growth that must be excised from the body. It’s a tiny human being with his or her own DNA. And that CHILD is not a “choice” to be disposed of for convenience’s sake. Adoption is always an option. To deny the child the opportunity to be raised by a loving parent is a very selfish position, indeed.

      I need to go hug my children now and tell them again just how much I love each and every one of them.

      Research Margaret Sanger, for starters, if you truly want to understand why Progressives pushed for murdering babies. If you really care to understand the history and how Roe v Wade came to be, you will find much information readily available for your enlightenment.

While abortion was never an option for me, I held 3 friends hands in support after their abortion choice with NO judgement. But while I will support a womans right to choose, I support even more the right of people who are against abortion to NOT HAVE TO PAY for the abortions of others. So please stop spreading these lies and misinformation. If you dems can’t win this race honestly without the lies of the war on women, what makes you think you can run a country?

      Mitt Romney has verbally stated he believes in the case of rape, incest and life of the mother, that abortion should be allowed. I disagree with his beliefs somewhat, as none of this is cut and dry. In all situations, except the latter, adoption is an option. I have heard some women keeping a child from rape, as they realize the child is totally innocent. In the case of incest, again they can be adopted out. When the life of the mother is at stake that is tough – most women who find themselves in this situation who want a child generally will say “save the baby”. Those who do not want the child, will say “save me”. Husbands, should one be present, generally say “save my wife”. The ultimate decision comes from the woman. There are always other choices. Abortion is not the only answer.

Why don’t the Liberals fight as hard to decriminalize drugs or legalize prostitution? Those things are more inline with control over your own body than abortion.

      Spare me the morals argument. It’s empty and stupid. If you don’t want “morals” legislated than I suppose you’re for legalizing murder, rape, and fraud? They are currently illegal because they are immoral. Even if you argue it’s illegal because it strips someone else of their right, so what? Why is that wrong? Because, it’s IMMORAL.
