‘The Walking Dead’ actress, Actress Hilarie Burton’s argument for abortions was a real head-scratcher. The actress contributed her abortion to the birth of her living daughter. In her rant she also slammed pro-lifers saying, ‘ f*** you to the ignorant right-wing extremists’.
“This is my child. My beloved. My daughter,” the “One Tree Hill” alum began. “It is no secret I struggled with infertility. Losing multiple pregnancies before her was traumatic. But female bodies are all different and unpredictable. Having an abortion after my fetus died allowed for my uterus to heal in a way that made it healthy enough to carry future pregnancies.”
Later in her rant, she clarified what she meant. Burton had a DNC cleaning that she believed made it possible for her to conceive. The actress miscarried and the procedure was to ensure the deceased baby was removed—Which is not the same as terminating a life but she argued that it is the same.
“The official word on the hospital paperwork is abortion. That’s what it was,” she argued, adding, “You know what would have made that painful day even worse? If abortion had been illegal, and law enforcement inspected my body to make sure I hadn’t caused my own miscarriage. Cause that’s what’s coming. It’s already happened. It was commonplace before [Roe v. Wade]”
Burton went on to claim that what Roe had truly protected was a woman’s right “to have miscarriages without scrutiny,” and argued that the Court’s ruling would allow law enforcement to view mothers who miscarried as suspects rather than victims or patients.
“Think about every loss and then compound it by knowing that the Supreme Court just said it’s okay for states to look at you as a murder suspect in that situation,” she said. “Your miscarriage will make you a murder suspect. I can’t say this clearly enough or shout it loud enough.”
“I only have my daughter because of my abortion,” she concluded. “So f*** you very much to the Supreme Court. And f*** you to the ignorant right wing extremists who want my daughter to have fewer rights than what I was born with. #wewillnotgoback”
The overturn of Roe v Wade has driven some people into complete madness. So I just want to point out a few things;
-It was a decision made by the supreme court, not conservative voters—Stop beating up every Christian conservative you see.
-This is not a national ban on abortions- It turns the rights back over to the state level.
-In light of everyone refusing to ‘go back’—It’s already happened. Some abortion clinics have closed their doors as of this week because that’s what those states have decided.

I think the losses she suffered prior to having her daughter were horrifically tragic but I don’t understand her argument. DNCs are performed for a wide range of problems, the loss of a child is just one. A woman could have a DNC to help treat endometriosis and help fight thick inlining, just to name a few.
