Laura Ingraham Confronts ‘Grandfather’ Who Paid for His Daughter’s Abortion

The controversy over the New York pro-life billboard is alive and spreading. We first brought you the story last week, when the mother of the daughter featured in the ad, which says “The Most Dangerous Place for an African American is in the Womb,” objected to her daughter’s image being used. It was eventually taken down completely.
On Wednesday, Laura Ingrahm took up the issue, and interviewed one of the leaders behind the billboard. But she also put out a call for someone to call in who supported abortion — a man named Will took her up on the challenge.
Will is a black man who paid for his college-aged daughter to get an abortion, and said he doesn’t regret it. That pained Ingraham, who asked him on live radio if he considered the aborted child his grandchild. No, Will said, he doesn’t:

Posted on March 3, 2011 at 10:34amI was raped when I was a teen, and if I had become pregnant as a result, I would not have killed my child. Yes, the child would be a result of a horrible act, and yes, it would have been very difficult to handle for a while I’m sure, but, why should I deny a human being it‘s inalienable right to life simply because it’s father was a monster? It doesn’t mean the child is going to be a rapist. There’s also the option of adoption, if at all necessary. And don’t feed me the poverty line, there’s welfare, food stamps, medicare, etc. that isn’t exactly hard to get.
Also, less than 1% of the over 15 million abortions (that we know of) performed every year are done in cases of rape. Less than .05% are done in cases of medical issues (ie. the mother is physically suffering as a result to the pregnancy).
That .05% is the only part of the ‘abortion’ population that has any sort of not only Constitutional, but inalienable right to do so. You see, if a woman becomes pregnant, and it is actively KILLING her to be pregnant? Then the child is actively infringing upon HER right to life. If you were stabbing me with a knife and I grabbed a gun and shot you, I would be acting in SELF DEFENSE. That is what that .05% is doing, acting in self defense.
This is an issue of right and wrong. There is no in between when dealing with life and death. There is no a “little wrong”, or “kind of wrong”.
And a “mercy killing”, as I commonly hear abortion referred to as by liberals..? Ask the child if it wants to live. I’m sorry, but I personally would rather live a life of poverty than be slowly PULLED APART, or poisoned in the womb. It‘s not like it’s so difficult to get welfare, WIC, food stamps, or medicare, either. So please, save that excuse for some liberal that will agree with you, who will give you the go-ahead for ‘mercy killing’ millions of children, who were conceived through IRRESPONSIBILITY. Each time you spread your legs, you’re taking a risk, whether you think you’re safe or not. Don‘t have sex if you aren’t ready for that.
Also, let’s look at the effects abortions have on women. According to the Georgetown University study conducted on post-abortion women, 33% suffered sleep disorders within the next six weeks, over 44% experienced some form of depression.. and those or SOME of the mental side effects. One out of five women that get abortions end up needing blood transfusions, and as a result, many obtain hepatitis. Many suffer torn bowels, one out of four women who get abortions will never be able to be pregnant again or will have miscarriages.. there’s a lot of issues with it, if you want to rush to the defense of the women who get abortions.
We have been attempting to educate people, which is the very attempt behind this picture. Planned Parenthood, run by our lovely government and funded by taxpayers at the point of a gun, is quoted and has been caught as telling girls “no, it’s not a baby yet”.. At any point in that pregnancy, whether four weeks or four months, they are WRONG. They’ve also given abortion advice to “pimps” and to girls who claim to have been ‘knocked up’ by thirty-one year old men.. statutory rape.
The people who fail to see abortion for what it is disgust me. Abortion is a vile, sad procedure. This isn’t about a “woman’s choice“ or a ”woman’s body”.. It’s about the choice to kill a child or not- a choice to destroy the CHILD’S body.

Posted on March 3, 2011 at 9:53amThis man will answer for his transgressions, we all will in due time. The Bible explains that the entire life of a human – from the beginning to its natural end – is sacred, and since only God has the right to determine this it is wrong and is a sin. Athiest who say this doesn‘t matter to them use the ideology that God doesn’t exist to justify killing conceived life. They are no different than the monsters who have for centuries murdered masses of human life in the name of religion. I have a hard time grasping how anyone can value life with such carelessness.

Posted on March 3, 2011 at 10:11amAs human beings,on earth we have dominion over all. God gave us the rope to hang ourselves, and many are doing just that. We are all responsible for our own actions,like it or not we cannot control others(to a degree). That being said, this man is responsible for his choice and the guidance of anothers choice to do wrong. This will not work in his favor ESPECIALLY if he believes himself to be a Christian. I just shake my head at the lost souls,they need to believe on their own.

Women CAN choose when to reproduce. Its called abstinence. Unless they don’t understand the risks of having sex. Or do they want to have sex without the responsibility that comes with it. Oooohhh, he said RESPONSIBILITY, that’s a baaaad word.

Why not ask her (the college student in question) if she would’ve liked to be aborted? I mean, at least she has a voice. I’d like to see attorneys representing the unborn children facing abortions.

Posted on March 3, 2011 at 9:50amNot necessarily, the question is: Did she ask for this abortion or did he force/guilt her into doing it? Her mindset may be the same as his and she figured, with college and at her age, this was a disruption and she has lots more chances to have babies when she’s ready, and hopefully married. I do wonder, though, if her mother agrees or if she just went along with her husband’s decision.

Posted on March 3, 2011 at 10:27amMany years ago we visited my wife’s family. They had a neighbor who had either one or two children. I met them and the wife was very outgoing and vivacious. On a subsequent visit, this woman was withdrawn and a completely different person. I later learned that between our visits she became pregnant and she and her husband decided to have an abortion. I was against abortion, and this experience taught me that it affects the mother; and Will’s comments appalling. I fear he will discover what he and his daughter did will cause great damage.
