Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: I’m a ‘Planned Parenthood Baby’

Kyle Morris 6 May 2021

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed Thursday she is a “planned parenthood baby” after her mother used the organization for prenatal care when she was pregnant.

In a long-winded response during a subcommittee hearing on Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez attempted to lambast Republicans for their pro-life agenda:

Quote
First and foremost, I don’t want to hear a single person on this committee or outside of this committee talk about valuing life when they continue to uphold the death penalty, when they continue to support policies that disproportionately incarcerate and lead to the deaths of black men and people throughout this country, and uphold and absolutely unjust medical system that exists for profit that allows people to die because they can’t afford to live.

Ocasio-Cortez then began her discussion on Planned Parenthood, claiming she herself is a “Planned Parenthood baby.”

“If we want to talk about Planned Parenthood, let’s talk about how many lives Planned Parenthood has saved and how many babies have been born because of the prenatal care provided by Planned Parenthood,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

“If you don’t believe it and if you’ve never met a Planned Parenthood baby, I’m happy to let you know that I am one,” Ocasio-Cortez added, telling viewers that her “mother received and relied on prenatal care from Planned Parenthood when she was pregnant with me.”

“If we’re concerned about life, we don’t get to talk about anyone else who’s not concerned about the full spectrum of that when we are upholding policies that kill people,” she concluded.

If that was true most of her would be in a landfill somewhere.

My hunch is she'll probably be the next Speaker of the House, or she'll run in 2024.

A 'Planned Parenthood Baby' Does Not Mean What AOC Thinks It Means

Squad member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) helped Planned Parenthood trend on Thursday night, after she shared during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on "Birthing While Black: Examining America’s Black Maternal Health Crisis" that she is "a Planned Parenthood baby" and wanted to talk "talk about how many lives Planned Parenthood has saved and how many babies have been because of the prenatal care provided by Planned Parenthood." The congresswoman seemed to anticipate how bizarre her remarks might seem. "If you don’t believe it, and if you’ve never met a Planned Parenthood baby, I’m happy to let you know that I am one and that my mother received and relied on prenatal care from Planned Parenthood when she was pregnant with me," she also said.

excerpt:

Yes, Planned Parenthood provides prenatal services, or so they say. According to their own most recent annual report from 2019-2020, there were 8,626 prenatal services. When it comes to how many abortions, however, there were 354,871. The organization performs more abortions than any entity in the United States.

By these numbers, then, it would make more sense to say that "a Planned Parenthood baby" is one who never actually got the chance to be born, since he or she would have been lost to abortion.
