In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade on Friday, the ugly mask worn by the liberals of CNN slipped to show the ugliness underneath as CNN Newsroom host Alisyn Camerota and faux “Republican” commentator and co-host of The View, Ana Navarro made the ghoulish argument that kids in foster care and relatives with cognitive disabilities should show the obvious need for abortion.
These disgusting arguments came as the two tag-teamed against Republican strategist Alice Stewart who was defending the pro-life movement. “I can tell you, having worked and advocated in the pro-life community for many years, there are crisis pregnancy centers set up across this country that are there to provide assistance, financial assistance, for expectant mothers,” she attested.
And despite Stewart noting how “There are services in place in the pro-life community that will help in this situation,” Camerota was not having it. To counter Stewart, she took aim at foster kids and argued they should have been aborted:
There are something like 410,000 children in the foster care system right now in the U.S. So, clearly, they're not all being adopted. And some of these babies will have obviously physical disabilities. I mean, what is the plan? Obviously, they're not just all being taken care of currently.
Taking that cue from Camerota, Navarro used her own family to argue why killing babies needed to be an option. “And because I have a family with a lot of special needs kids,” she screeched. “I have a brother who's 57 and has the mental and motor skills of a 1-year-old. And I know what that means financially, emotionally, physically, for a family.”
If that wasn’t cold-hearted enough, she then targeted the cognitively disabled step-grandkids she had from her husband Al Cardenas, the former head of the American Conservative Union:
And I know not all families can do it and I have a step-granddaughter who was born with Down’s Syndrome and you know what? It is very difficult in Florida to get services. It is not as easy as it sounds on paper. And I've got another step-grandson who is very autistic, who has autism and it is –
“And their mothers and people who are in that society who are in that community will tell you that they considered suicide because that's how difficult it is to get help because that's how lonely they feel,” she bitterly shouted.
This was followed up by Navarro proving how little she knew about what she claimed was her “Catholic” faith. “And so, why can I be Catholic and still think this is a wrong decision? Because I'm American. I'm Catholic inside the church. I'm Catholic when it comes to me,” she huffed.
As Catholics, we’re called to do the works of mercy outside the church, Ana.
“But there's a lot of Americans who are not Catholic, and are not Christian, and are not Baptist, and you have no damn right to tell them what they should do with their bodies. Nobody does,” she concluded in a shriek.
But what about the bodies and lives of those foster kids? Or those of your brother and step-grandkids? Don’t their lives have value, Ana? They’re certainly worth more than what CNN and ABC are paying you.
And in the next hour, when confronted with how unsupported the left's views on late-term abortion are, not just in America but on the global stage by March for Life president Jeanne Mancini, Camerota fires off talking points and doesn't giver her time to respond before cutting to Vice President Kamla Harris;

ALICE STEWART: I can tell you, having worked and advocated in the pro-life community for many years, there are crisis pregnancy centers set up across this country that are there to provide assistance, financial assistance, for expectant mothers.
ALISYN CAMEROTA (interrupting): Right, but I mean, after they're born.
STEWART: Before, during, and after they have their child, whether they decide to put it up for adoption or they want to keep it themselves. There are services in place in the pro-life community that will help in this situation.
CAMEROTA: But Alice. Hold on. Let me just talk to you about that. There are something like 410,000 children in the foster care system right now in the U.S. So, clearly, they're not all being adopted. And some of these babies will have obviously physical disabilities. I mean, what is the plan? Obviously, they're not just all being taken care of currently.

ANA NAVARRO: And I am not anybody to tell you what you need to do with your life or with your uterus. And because I have a family with a lot of special needs kids. I have a brother who's 57 and has the mental and motor skills of a 1-year-old. And I know what that means financially, emotionally, physically, for a family.
And I know not all families can do it and I have a step-granddaughter who was born with Down’s Syndrome and you know what? It is very difficult in Florida to get services. It is not as easy as it sounds on paper. And I've got another step-grandson who is very autistic, who has autism and it is –
And their mothers and people who are in that society who are in that community will tell you that they considered suicide because that's how difficult it is to get help, because that's how lonely they feel. Because they can't get other jobs. Because they have financial issues. Because the care that they're able to give their other children suffers.
And so, why can I be Catholic and still think this is a wrong decision? Because I'm American. I'm Catholic inside the church. I'm Catholic when it comes to me. But there's a lot of Americans who are not Catholic, and are not Christian, and are not Baptist, and you have no damn right to tell them what they should do with their bodies. Nobody does.
