O'Reilly Describes His Anti-Choice Stance As 'Protecting The Kids'

Posted by Ellen -7841.60pc on January 28, 2013 · Flag

On January 23, 2013, Bill O'Reilly read an email from a woman reacting to his segment on late-term abortion (in which he once again defamed Dr. George Tiller). In response to the woman's criticism of men interfering with women's reproductive choices, O'Reilly scolded: My job is to protect the kids and I will continue to do it.

In his email segment, O'Reilly read an email from “Cindy, I'm withholding your last name, lives in Connecticut:”

O'Reilly, you men have no business telling any woman she can't have an abortion.

O'Reilly responded:

The subject was New York State allowing abortions for pretty much any reason in the third trimester, Cindy. If, like Governor Cuomo, you support that, you'd better hope, you'd better hope there's no Judgment Day. My job is to protect the kids and I will continue to do it.

O’Reilly thinks rape victims “ask for it,” and loves to go after women at every turn- Including that he has more venom in his voice talking about lesbians than male gays.

I have also never- not once- seen him “protect the kids” on any other issue that involves them. He doesn’t care about safer play areas, he doesn’t care about better education, he doesn’t care about pediatric health… when something’s newsworthy in these areas, he sides with the person hurting the child. Every time.

If O’Reilly can muster up enough honesty to admit that his sole interest in the abortion/contraception issue is that it’s a front for him to try “putting women in their place” without being called a misogynist, I’ll only bother him again the next time he goes “x” amount over the line, because at least he’s admitting it.

Until then, his so-called academic record is just another lie, as far as I’m concerned. I’ve seen him behave, but I’ve never seen him be as intelligent as they claim.

Sandman; how is that a contradiction? I didnt say I dislike ALL women because some have children to collect governement money. i said I dislike women who have children to collect government money. In no way did I condemn ALL women with that statement.

First, both of those “statements” were YOU’RE words-not mine.
Second, if you can find the word “ALL” in MY statement I’d be happy to appologize.
Lastly, everyone else understood your “contradiction” very clearly and you’re lack of understanding does not help your argument.

@vacuous Offkilter (aka U Mad?/I Mad!):

You claim incessantly that you want a “debate” but you actually behave like a pre-radio speaker standing on a kitchen stool or soapbox at Hyde Park Corner: declamatory, eyes and especially ears closed tight. The sort of thing one does simply to get a reaction, any sort of reaction as proof that one actually exists.

If I remember my Dr. Spock of anon, that sort of attention-seeking is typical of the age group he called the “terrible twos”, i.e., infants who, being pretty much ignored by their parents, will misbehave in order simply to be noticed … at the cost of being punished. Any attention is better than no attention at all. Time to grow up, lad.

Im pathetic? You’re the one trying to justify child murder by calling it another name. It is what it is. They are children. You can call it the technical name all day, but it doesnt change the fact that they are children. If your wife was 7 months pregnant and someone stabbed your child through her stomach, killing him/her would you shrug it off as ok because it was just a fetus? Should that person be charged with murder or just assault?

Again, you use different wording to justify it for yourself. Pathetic is defending child murder. Pathetic is saying its ok to murder them because you use a technical name for them.

Ive seen it all now. “Aborting a fetus is not killing a child”. Only some twisted, hate filled psycho could condone killing children by claiming they’re not really children.

If you dont have a problem with killing children then it says a lot about you as a human being.

I wouldnt be shocked if some of you watch abortion videos just for kicks.

A fetus is not a child? What is it then? A kitten? Ive never heard a woman say “im having a fetus”.

You dont want to call it a child because then you would have to admit that you support killing children; which you do. When they pull out a baby thats 6 months along and shove a pair of scissors in the back of his/her neck thats killing a child.

And I have never claimed to speak for all conservatives. Again, you people lie and make things up to make your point. Hint: when you have to lie to make your point you dont really have one.

UMAD — You think killing a fetus is murder? Fine — Don’t have an abortion. Leave the rest of us alone.

I dont have to have a uterus to know killing a child is wrong. i dont have to be a woman to know killing a child is wrong. excusing child murder is pretty twisted.

Hey U Mad — do you have a uterus? If not, you don’t have a dog in this fight. As for women who “intentionally” have children to collect more welfare, you’ve obviously never had to live on welfare. The Welfare Queen is one of the odest political myths going.

Men don’t know how to treat their penises properly. Therefore, women should make all decisions regarding this male appendage.

Doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it? Neither does orally and those who present those half-assed “arguments” as facts and/or moral guidance.

The bottom line is, if you are not female, you really have zero say. Well, maybe one sperm-cell’s worth of influence, that would be it.

Visitor; If you’re going to make a claim that someone did something then its up to you to provide proof to back up your claim. If you choose not to then so be it; I dont believe you and this pretty much validates my doubt.

Who put HIM in charge of MY reproductive system? Protect the children? How is that working out in the Gun Rights Arena. Oh, and FFYI Mr. O — the Catholic Church in a recent lawsuit has declared that Fetuses (as late as 7 months) are NOT PEOPLE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jaweed-kaleem/catholic-hospital-fetus-person_b_2542238.html.

Vile Bile (Father Flanigan) self appointed savior of all children born and unborn,never seems to be outraged by the terroristic actions inflicted upon young children by the good priests,in fact it has never ever even been brought up on the “Factor Comedy Hour”,I find this somewhat suspicious.So abortions are criminal but,raping defiling and terrorizing young children is okay with Vile Bile,what an hypocrite.

“And the actions of one don’t reflect conservatism as a whole. One man saying something like that(If he really did, which I doubt) isn’t a reflection of all conservatives.”

“What I do have a problem with is women who intentionally have children so they can collect more goverment money; and it does happen.”

Kinda contradict yourself @umad with previous remarks of condemning the many for the acts of the few.

I dont defend Limbaugh, but do you have a link to him calling poor children moochers? And the actions of one dont reflect conservatism as a whole. One man saying something like that (IF he really did, which I doubt) isnt a reflection of all conservatives.

Which conservatives claim children are moochers? Ive yet to hear any Republican say we shouldnt help poor children because they’re moochers. I have no problem helping poor children or their families. Of course you’ll spin anything a conservative says to make it seem like they hate poor people but thats completely untrue. What conservatives dislike is the government constantly shelling out taxpayers money to people who refuse to help themselves. If a couple have 7 children and both parents work and are doing what they need to do to keep their family going then I have no problem with government assistance. What I do have a problem with is women who intentionally have children so they can collect more goverment money; and it does happen. And no, I dont think she should abort them either. There has to be a balance and some accountability. I dont mind helping anyone thats trying. I do mind helping people who dont want to try and just want the government to take care of them.

O’Reilly certainly doesn’t “protect” women. As shown by the material in the sexual abuse case filed against him, he thinks their bodies are his play toys. As shown by his radical anti-choice activism, he thinks they are incubators. He so hates women!

What else could a fetus be? A puppy? A turtle? Megatron? What is so offensive about calling a child a kid? Its the same thing.

You guys dont want them called kids or children because (hopefully) it makes you feel bad about the fact that you’re supporting the murder of a child.

Did you read or hear the item about the pedophile priest? If you did it wasn’t on FNC or at our web site! When it comes to protecting the kids we protect our church first!!

Now fetuses are kids? Maybe Maher is correct, to the right, life begins at the boner.

@aria: Shucks, all they have to do is get born for O’Reilly to lose interest until they – the girls at least – reach puberty.

I hate abortion fully as much as any so-called “pro-lifer” but the the way to reduce the demand for abortion is to reduce the risks of unwanted pregnancies, i.e. through contraception. All other ways have always enhanced resulted in a boom in the numbers of abortions performed on kitchen tables.

O’Reilly is a mean-minded, hypocritical, bigoted old fool who still believes what his mummy told him as a child: i.e. that he’s the bestest, bestest little fellah (aka God) in this whole wide world.

O’Reilly wants to protect the children, yet he doesn’t seem to care about safety in the schools. Guess that once they hit a certain age, they’re worth less than a gun.

I thought Bellowing Billo’s job was to keep the country sane? Now his job is keeping kids safe? How fortunate for mankind that POPE BILL OF ILL WILL can multi-task.
