By Katie Mettler Katie Mettler Reporter covering breaking news and features Email Bio Follow May 2 at 10:17 AM A day after the Alabama House of Representatives passed what could become the most restrictive abortion legislation in the country, state Rep. John Rogers, a Democrat, took to the House floor to voice his support for a woman’s right to choose.
“I’m not about to be the male tell a woman what to do with her body,” he said, repeating a common refrain among abortion-rights advocates. “She has a right to make that decision herself."“Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or kill them later,” he said. “You bring them into the world unwanted, unloved, then you send them to the electric chair. So you kill them now or you kill them later. But the bottom line is that I think we shouldn’t be making this decision.
“‘Kill them now, or you kill them later’?" he said. “His comments should be condemned at the state and national level.” The bill in question would make it a felony for a doctor to perform abortion — unless the woman’s health is at risk. It does not include an exemption for women who become pregnant as a result of rape or incest.
OH FFS!!! Alabama again. What is it with that state?
johnT_D Disgusting that ppl co tinue to support the genocide of their families, and communities.
People should stop calling abortion a killing. Fetuses are not a person until they take the first breath.
So? The Pro-Choice guy didn’t mince words but that was also—in essence—Dr. Kermit Gosnell’s reason when he was convicted of “aborting” three infants who were born alive during attempted abortion procedures.
'Perplexing' only to people who know absolutely nothing about history or human nature.
This is progressivism!
Why are you showing a picture of a woman with that quote above it when the comment was made by a male rep?
Humans haven't evolved to that point yet. They're not able to feel like that.
Disgusting stuff. I didn’t used to be pro life, but damn if the Democrat Party’s disgusting statements aren’t making me re think that.
That first continent theology is of the devil
Roy Moore for Alabama....MAGA✌️🇺🇸✌️

He has a point. But, if we make birth control available to all. There it is! Abortion should be reserved for extreme situations, not used as birth control.
Wow, I’m pro choice but wow, very poor choice of words.
So at least you didn’t use the “Republicans pounce” crap, but whoever this woman is doesn’t deserve to have her photo go with these comments since it wasn’t her who said them.
Vile comments
STUPID CHOICE OF WORDS.
Very dangerous set of people and their dangerous and life threatening ideas all over democrats party 😥😥😥
what?
This person is not a Democrat.
Shocked you picked up on this... Even more shocked you decided to report it!
She don't need any with that dumb remark
wow... even the Dems are ignorant in Alabama. Must be the drinking water.
WTF
Puh-leeze. Engage your brain before speaking.
This was a weird photo to use, as she didn't say it.
Even the Dems are dumb in Alabama.
Well, if those are truly the choices, I think it would be better to kill them before they have developed a brain or the ability to experience pain. No?
All children born deserve to be wanted and loved and financially supported.
Poor, black, unwanted, unloved, are who by in large end up on death row.
I took his remarks to mean the same pro-life people are fine with the death penalty.
She needs evaluation
I’m from Alabama. I find I tend to be surrounded by people who vote idiots into office at all levels, including being Trump supports. There are days if feels like being Jon Snow surrounded by White Walkers. It can be rather grim at times, but we continue to hold out hope.
So you admit they are kids then?
Someone’s not ready for The Show.
That’s horrible.
And which race is aborted most, by a large margin?
Why you don’t help them to have a bright future instead of killing them?
Why don’t you put a picture of the actual person that said it?
Not helpful
someone should kill her see how she likes it piece of s***
What can you expect from democrats! Sad!
Sensationalism sells. Reality loses.
Uh? That’s stupid
This isn't a fair article. You took her words out of context. It's scary enough to have the president making dangerous lies to his rabid rally crowds. Stop before you cause someone to killed.
Shocking but not surprising coming from a Dem.
People that call themselves Democrats are not Democrats these are very sick people.
If you really want to protect babies,give their mothers a better choice. Or give every male over 12 a reversible vasectomy
This is probably taken out of context. A more reasonable statement is that people fighting to save the unborn appear to care nothing regarding the child
Liberal morality laid bare...
Quote was taken out of context just to upset the so-called pro-life crowd.
eek, what an awful woman.
This tweet is terrible journalism. The woman in this photo didn’t say this completely out-of-context quote, and the context matters!!
What?
Why this Society is preferring to kill and get killed everywhere ? We can't afford to pay heed to insane views, both inside legislating house and outside. We contain them now or as we have no option for doing so later. Security People Society States Politics
What drug has she been taking. Jeez!
One word: adoption.
That wasn't her who said it. Put up a pic of real person.
Democrats are for murdering babies but want to scream “Trump is hurting illegals” seems like hypocrisy to me!
proof that stupidity crosses party lines.
Pro-choice leaders would be wise to condemn these comments just as some in the GOP condemned Rep. Akin’s comments about “legitimate rape” never causing pregnancy.
Bad photo since it was a man that made that comment. At least the story has his picture in it.
Really 🤔 then why are you here 👊
Wow... What idiots vote democrat?
that's ridiculous. let's just get rid of Alabama!
This comment is ignorant of all kinda of facts. NO ONE IS KILLING KIDS. We got enough problems without dems making it worse
This plays out in police shootings of unarmed boys, on the streets with homeless youth & in homes of abused children.
