“For almost 50 years, the pro-life movement has peacefully engaged with the democratic process to right the terrible wrong of Roe v. Wade, and the minute it fell, it was radical abortion supporters who called for a ‘Summer of Rage.’ Biden’s inability to see who is calling for violence and who is working peacefully is a critical flaw, that makes his tirade both offensive and tone-deaf,” said Hawkins. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. (09-02-2022) – Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins made the following comments following President Joe Biden’s very personal attack against half the country. She observed, ”Joe Biden’s violent screed against his fellow citizens will go down in history as low point, even for him. Justice and inclusion are a one-way street in this Administration, always moving away from innocent preborn children and prolife people, businesses, and help centers, as he can’t be bothered with those he doesn’t like.  

“The number of people Biden hates is growing daily. First, Biden tasks his Administration with adding to the more than 63 million lives lost to abortion and now he wants to throw away another 74.2 million who didn’t vote for him.  Despite his obsessive repeating of the word ‘democracy’ that concept actually includes people coming together to reach agreement, which is the last thing he wants. Standing at a venerated historic site, flanked by members of the military, he made it clear that his fury and the weight of his government would come after those he obviously despises.  

“For almost 50 years, the pro-life movement has peacefully engaged with the democratic process to right the terrible wrong of Roe v. Wade, and the minute it fell, it was radical abortion supporters who called for a ‘Summer of Rage.’ Biden’s inability to see who is calling for violence and who is working peacefully is a critical flaw, that makes his tirade both offensive and tone-deaf,” said Hawkins.  

“Abortion is clearly NOT the winning issue that Democrats claim it is, given that President Biden can’t even bring himself to say the word as he viciously attacks half of the nation. If there is a takeaway from last night, it’s this: Unity is not on the table from Biden and his partisan vigilantes.”
