Ana Navarro, an extremely left-wing political commentator, attempted to claim that people have been trying to twist the words when she tried to use examples of people in her family who have special needs in order to herald the need for all women to be able to get abortions.
“Some have twisted my words,” she exclaimed via a tweet while at the same time failing to explain how said people were actually twisting her words. “Won’t stop me calling it out: Banning women’s choices, but NOT funding enough aid for kids & adults w/special needs & disabilities, or a safety-net for single moms & poor families, or safe, loving foster care & adoption, isn’t Pro-life. It’s hypocrisy.”
“Irrelevant has-beens trying to get some clicks by attacking me on @twitter ….so predictable and lazy,” she continued in another tweet. “Everybody knows you’re twisting my words. I’m not going to give you the importance of mentioning you by name. You know who you are. Bless your hearts. Eat s***. Or whatever…”
These statements from Navarro take place in the wake of her other remarks that ended up going viral late Friday on CNN, in which she spoke about members of her family who had special needs.
“And I am not anybody to tell you what you need to do with your life or with your uterus,” stated Navarro. “And because I have a family with a lot of special needs kids. I have a brother who’s 57 and has the mental and motor skills of a one-year-old.”
“And I know what that means financially, emotionally, physically, for a family,” she continued. “And I know not all families can do it. And I have a step-granddaughter who was born with Down syndrome. And you know what? It is very difficult in Florida to get services. It is not as easy as it sounds on paper.”
“And I’ve got another step-grandson who is very autistic,” stated Navarro. “Who has autism, and it is [inaudible]. And their mothers and people who are in that society, who are in that community, will tell you that they’ve considered suicide because that’s how difficult it is to get help. Because that’s how lonely they feel, because they can’t get other jobs, because they have financial issues, because the care that they’re able to give their other children suffers.”
“And so why can I be Catholic and still think this is a wrong decision? Because I’m American. I’m Catholic inside the church,” stated the political commentator. “I’m Catholic when it comes to me. But there’s a lot of Americans who are not Catholic, and are not Christian, and are not Baptist. And you have no damn right to tell them what they should do with their bodies. Nobody does.”
She started her rant once another guest on CNN addressed Navarro, claiming, “I don’t understand how you can say on one hand you support life, yet you’re fine with a woman’s decision to choose abortion.”
