A new video CatholicVote.org has produced exposes some of the extremist views of the most hardcore abortion advocates. The video shows pro-abortion activists at a rally supporting abortion until birth and forcing taxpayers to pay for abortions.

The footage has interviews and comments interspersed featuring pro-abortion activists promising to have an abortion if getting pregnant and gloating about past abortions. Two women brag that they are medical students who will do abortions after graduation.

Another activist says he wishes there were as many Planned Parenthood abortion centers as there are Starbucks stores that sell coffee across the United States and around the world: “I want Planned Parenthood to be like Starbucks, I want a Planned Parenthood on every corner.”

“It is not a baby. A baby is a fetus that has been born,” one person says while another adds, “A baby is going to get in the way of the job that I need to get to pay off those loans.”

Brian Burch, the head of CatholicVote.org talked about the new video in an email to LifeNews.com:

This is one of the most agonizing videos we have ever produced. Two weeks ago we sent our media team into the middle of a rally organized to defend taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood. We wanted to expose what the defenders of Planned Parenthood really believe. What we witnessed left us speechless.

The abortion industry is often portrayed as a big-hearted caring industry that simply wants to serve low-income women. Their supporters claim that stripping Planned Parenthood and abortion providers of taxpayer funds will hurt everyone. Of course this is a lie. Planned Parenthood is billion-dollar organization that is chiefly concerned with one thing — the destruction of innocent human life.

Some of the footage we captured will shock you. Some of it will make you sad. But I hope it will encourage you to take action.

The fight over taxpayer support for Planned Parenthood is about much more than budgets and deficits. The fight is ultimately about our vision for America — a vision that cherishes mothers, families and the gift of human life.

Our vision is one of hope. Theirs is filled with anger and hopelessness.
