The Daily Signal - Woman Who Survived 2 Abortion Attempts Shares Her Message to Pro-Choice Activists

Denisha Workizer was in her 40s when she learned her mother had tried to abort her not once, but twice. 


With the Supreme Court apparently set to overturn its 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, Workizer says, she wants pro-abortion activists to consider that we “empower women by empowering life."


"It's not empowering for a woman to kill her child,” she adds.


Today, Workizer works with The Abortion Survivors Network, an organization that helps other survivors find hope and peace in their own stories. 


She joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" today to share her personal story of survival as well her message to both pro-choice and pro-life Americans. 


Also on today’s show, we cover these stories:

  • The Biden administration is trying to weed out “disinformation,” but Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., says he doesn't trust the government to determine what is and isn't disinformation. 
  • In a speech on the Senate floor, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announces that Democrats will force a vote on legislation to codify Americans' access to abortion. 
  • Pro-abortion activists plan protests outside the homes of the Supreme Court's six conservative justices. 


Enjoy the show!

Consider This from NPR - The Harrowing Journey To Get Premature American Twins From Kyiv To The U.S.

Twin babies Lenny and Moishe were born via surrogate in Ukraine, just as Russia invaded the country. Their parents live in Chicago and had been anxiously awaiting the arrival of their new sons.

Rescuers exfiltrated the babies, dodging Russian artillery fire and driving through a snowstorm before finally arriving at a Polish hospital, where new father Alex "Sasha" Spektor met the boys for the first time. But a more difficult journey for the family was just beginning.

NPR's Ari Shapiro followed up with Spektor and his partner, Irma Nuñez, as they navigated the complicated bureaucratic process of getting their twins from Poland to the United States.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
