MSNBC Host: ‘I Thank God and Country…Abortion Was There to Save Me’

Jan. 25, 2013 7:00pm Jason Howerton

During MSNBC’s “The Cycle” on Friday, co-host Toure celebrated the 40th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision to legalize abortion by telling the story of when he and an old girlfriend decided to have an abortion 15 years ago.

“In some ways that choice saved my life,” Toure said.

He said he was extremely thankful abortion was an option because wasn’t ready to be a dad and going through with the pregnancy would have just made “a mess of three lives” because she “wasn’t the one.”

“I thank God and country that when I fell into a bad situation, abortion was there to save me and keep me on a path toward building a strong family I have now. And I pray that safety net stays in place,” Toure said.

Being able to choose to have an abortion makes for a “stronger America,” he concluded.

Liberals only struggle with the question of when life begins because they refuse (contrary to how they would have us believe) to actually think scientifically. They are only willing to acknowledge that which fits their “truth”, and ignore all of the facts to the contrary.
If you look at it scientifically you need only answer 3 question. First, by the simple definition what is life (I say simple because a through definition of life in any form has not been developed). Second what differentiates one living organism from another. Lastly is it human life. Soon after egg combines with sperm these three questions scientifically qualify a developing baby as a separate human life.

Life is that quantity that differentiates living from dead. Generally living things take in nourishment, and replicate. For a developing baby at any stage check, check and check.

Different organisms have different DNA. The DNA of a baby at any stage does not match its mother’s, check once more. Saying that since the baby relies totally on the mother and cannot live outside the womb cancels this is like saying the bacteria that live in your intestines are a part of you because if you remove them they die.

Last, and again check. a baby is a separate human life because, although it is unique, even before its first cell splits, its DNA is clearly identifiable as human.

Science solved. Lets all go home

Same reasoning Joseph Stalin used referring to the 50 million Russian Peasants he killed to save his political position. Those Soviet Union guys could party.

Satan “saved” Toure’s pathetic “life”, not God.
God would never trade an innocent Baby’s life for material gain.

I’m not judging this guy (it’s only by the grace of God that my life isn’t more of a train wreck than it already is), but I don’t think God wants any thanks for this. Besides, did he pray and ask God what he should do during that situation? It’s amazing how the enemy (satan) can just twist things in the head and heart, making us so blind to the darkness we walk in.

Toure was 26 years old when he and his woman decided to kill their Baby.
26 is not too young to be a Dad.

Single handily the most selfish comment I have ever heard. If this man feels no remorse then he is truly a despicable person that needs to examine his conscience and beg for forgiveness. God help us all.

  And he wasn’t man enough to step up to the responsibility of his own ill-timed offspring…and he’s not even man enough to own his rotten, shameful actions: his shifts the defense to “a woman’s right to choose”. What an evasive, spineless, gutless moron.
  I honestly cannot believe that an individual like this is being featured on a news network. It’s disgusting.

If Roe v. Wade had been implemented a year earlier, there’s a good chance that Toure would also be an abortion statistic.
Toure’s Father died before he was born.
Wonder if he’s ever discussed the issue with his Mother. How did she feel, about being a pregnant woman with no husband 41 years ago?

No what Toure is thankful for is the fact he got out of 1. marriage 2. being a baby daddy 3. Child support.

Nevermind the suffering that the child went through getting sucked out of the womb. As long as Toure dodged the bullet, he is thanking God. I don’t think I would thank God, more like Satan for spreading his evilness into your mind.

Oh dear lord in heaven…. I am sooo glad that abortion was there to save him. We are so much better off with this idiot on tv.

It’s nice to see him admit that there were three lives.

Ever heard of adoption, Toure?
Ever look up that old girlfriend, and see how she is coping? It was her body, you know.

If this person never changes his way of thinking, hell is going to have a real hot spot for him. Don’t thank God for you and your girlfriend did, because I don’t think He hears it.

These are the times that are written in the Bible. When good is evil and evil is good. He has some nerve thanking GOD for killing his child. Can these people really believe that GOD is ok with ripping your child to pieces? And what was abortion saving him from? It certainly wasn’t saving the real life of his baby. It was only saving him from responsibility. Is he saying that every baby born out of wedlock should not be here? Because well if the father loved the mother and she was the one he would have married her already right? What a bunch of backwards garbage!

Well that figures. In New York City, 60% of black pregnancies end in abortion. People, if you don’t want to be parents, wrap it up. Be responsible.

Toure has Birthday 42 coming up soon. He has already celebrated 41 Birthdays so far.

His aborted Baby never got to celebrate even one Birthday. His child would have turned 15 this year. Happy Birthday Kid, who is in Heaven.

As for you Toure, go to H*LL.

We heard his side, too bad we are not able to hear from the young lady. I am wondering if she has any regrets with the decision of the abortion and/or the waste of time she spent with him. Stastically speaking, she probably suffers more than ole Toure. It would be nice to hear her on her own podium.

Aborting his baby “saved his life”, he says, but did he ever consider the baby’s?

I’m having trouble believing that Toure is “straight”.
I would have bet the farm, that he was GAY.

OK, so lets examine this turds rational, because he made a poor choice as a young man, he’s greatful he could kill the inconvieniant child that was a result of this turds poor decision. So this turd is now making good money because he killed a child. Yes……let us all thank god. What kind of world would this be without this turd and his child is in it. Probably a much better one. How about retro active abortion……lets start with this turd.

Toure, don’t drag God into your comments. God had no hand in it.
God is sure not proud of what you and your woman did to that baby.

Toure, why didn’t you learn to use a condom or practice abstinence?
An innocent baby died because of your stupidity.
Because you couldn’t keep your pants zipped.

Psalms 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
To profane the Name of God by calling the murder of a baby blessed, by He who created?

Adoption is life.
