Scarlett Johansson: Abortion is a ���Human Rights Issue������but Not for Babies

Actress Scarlett Johansson believes abortion to be a ���human rights issue.���

Sounds pretty good, right? After all, abortion clearly is a human rights issue, and how wonderful to hear one of the Hollywood elite say it.

Except, as it turns out, Johansson does not believe it is a human rights issue for the unborn���but, rather, for the women availing themselves of abortion services.

The fact is that Johansson is a passionate supporter of abortion rights, a position for which she was recently rewarded at the 2016 Power of Women Los Angeles luncheon, when she was recognized for her work on behalf of Planned Parenthood.

In her comments to the gathered, Johansson said, in part, ���A women���s right to choose what to do with her body shouldn���t just be a women���s rights issue ��� it���s the year 2016 and this is a human rights issue.���

Continuing, Johansson said, ���A women���s right to choose is a deeply personal one and should not be a part of anyone���s political platform. It has nothing to do with politics in the slightest. It is about honoring and respecting women and upholding the law. ��� It is time we all stand united so this conversation is taken off the ballot, so to speak, and out of the mouths of politicians.���

So, abortion is about ���honoring and respecting women?��� Really?

And here, all this time, I thought it was about killing babies.

In presenting her with the award, actor Robert Downey Jr. said, ���She���s utilized her worldwide visibility ��� she is a true ambassador for women���s health initiatives.���

She���s an ambassador for women���s health initiatives?

Sounds to me like she���s an ambassador for abortion.

Now THAT would be quite a title, don���t you think?
