Pro-lifer decries group’s ‘absolutely horrific’ name
G.R.R. is an acronym for Grandmothers for Reproductive Rights, a Maine-based abortion rights group that uses abortion supporters’ preferred code word – “reproductive rights” – for abortion.
Teresa Tumidajski of Maine Right to Life says the “grandmas” state they are taking their stand for their children and grandchildren – and not for themselves.
“So if they had been following their own advice,” she observes, “they would not even have any children or grandchildren for which to enshrine this supposed reproductive right. So it’s absolutely, totally, totally horrific.”
The abortion rights group claims on its website that the women are “perhaps wiser” after living through a time when abortion was illegal.
“We are frustrated,” G.R.R. founder Judy Karhl states on the website, without a hint or irony, “that despite our past efforts, our daughters and granddaughters may still be denied reproductive rights.”
A glowing newspaper story about Karhl notes that she is a mother of four and the daughter of Dr. Clarence Gamble, one-half of the Proctor and Gamble name and a globe-trotting advocate of “reproductive rights.”
The group’s mission comes across as a terrible oxymoron, says Tumidajski, since a supposed group of wise, nurturing grandmothers are suggesting that abortiing preborn children is a human right.
“And for grandmothers to say that they’re promoting reproductive rights as a human rights issue,” Tumidajski warns, “is the absolute opposite of what human rights is which is the right to life, which God gives us that right.”
