The barbaric practice of poisoning and dismembering living babies before they’re even able to draw their first free breath outside the womb has a nice, new, sanitized name, thanks to gaslighting leftists: an “averted birth.”

That’s the term used by Colorado House Speaker Julie McCluskie, when she argued that we need more abortions because they’re cheaper than labor and delivery, therefore encouraging women to “avert” birth will save the state taxpayer Medicaid money.

“That savings comes from averted births that will not occur because abortions happened instead. A birth is more expensive than an abortion so the savings comes in Medicaid births that will not occur,” McCluskie said, referencing a new bill that enshrines the right to an abortion into the state Constitution while also freeing up state funding for abortions for Medicaid recipients and state employees.

“This bill will actually decrease costs for our healthcare policy and financing department, our Medicaid expenditures, in both this year and out years as the savings from averted births outweigh the costs of covering reproductive healthcare for all Coloradans,” McCluskie went on.

Not to bring up an overused comparison here, but killing people because it's cheaper than caring for them when they're alive is a plan straight out of Adolf Hitler’s playbook. We know that because he did it

But leftists call conservatives "Nazis."
