Michelle Williams, while pregnant, advocated for her right to an abortion. She’s had one, I guess, but not this time. Her justification is that she has the right to choose which baby lives and which does not. She calls it the right, “To choose when to have my children and with whom.”

Democrat NH Congresswoman Ann Kuster applauds her for this inspiring moment.
What’s missing? A few things.
First, there is no difference in the value of the innocent, helpless life you ended and ones you decide to allow to grow and live. None. Both (let’s say they were girls) would grow up and become women.
Absent the interruption of abortion they are equal in every respect. But Ann Kuster’s politics have warped the notion of life, value, and choice which Williams emotes, award in hand.
“I’m grateful for the acknowledgment of the choices I’ve made, and I’m also grateful to have lived at a moment in our society where choice exists because as women and as girls, things can happen to our bodies that are not our choice.
Joy Pullman at the Federalist frames the balance well here. Yes, careers and babies do not always mix. That is a choice women have to make, but Pullman sharpens the focus for us.
If someone put a gun to a child’s head on the Golden Globes stage and said to Williams, “You can have your award, but the price is this child’s life,” hopefully she would have said “F— that award, save the child.” But here she is on a global stage, not only admitting that she has already done essentially the same thing to an even smaller human, but also encouraging other girls and women to do likewise — to repeated Hollywood applause.
I want to think she’d say F- the award, but would she? I’m not so sure. The party of choice is also the party of spectrums. Rights, income, gender, and life are all on a sliding scale and slippery slope — nuggets best managed by distant bureaucrats passing edicts between Georgetown Fundraisers.
People outside politics may not realize this, but none of those things has any specific value or worth until it becomes politically expedient to the left’s narratives. Nothing at all does — even Democrats’ ideas.
Words, speeches, or soaring rhetoric are meant to move needles that measure no meaning concerning legislators, pundits, talking heads, or any other powerful faction on the left. That was for your benefit, not the ruling class. They will whatever damn well, please.
From ignoring rape and pedophilia to bribery, corruption, money-laundering, murder, quid-pro-quos, rules, laws, even constitutions are for the little people. If they get in the way, the Left steps around them. If they need them to constrain you, they are suddenly sacred.
So, in their world, the life you have now is only yours because no one has interrupted it after the point of conception.
Michelle Williams has (apparently) had an abortion. It saved her career or something.
What does it profit a woman to gain a major industry award if the price is the life of an innocent child? What kind of “success” is it to rise at the cost of other people’s existence? What kind of society encourages people to think and live this way? A sick, self-cannibalizing one.
She put a rhetorical ‘gun’ to a child’s head inside her womb and pulled the trigger. Absent that, she’d be expecting her third child, not her second (unless she’s had several abortions). What did this other child do to deserve this sentence? Well, Ms. Williams’ urge for personal and professional pleasure exceeded the value of the life.
New Hampshire Democrat Congresswoman Ann Kuster applauds this and it’s disgusting. And far-reaching.
If you believe this Democrat Socialist calculation is limited to a human being’s time spent in the womb, you are a poor student of history. The moment you become inconvenient to the Left (politically or professionally), given the authority, your life is worth nothing to them. You could become another choice for them that just as easily puts an end to anything you will ever do or be as abortion.
There’s no morality in it, it’s just business.
