Loyola University Chicago (LUC), despite its Catholic identity, is set to host a pro-abortion rights journalist, who once thanked God for abortion on television, as the keynote speaker of the Jesuit university’s Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration on January 21.
The journalist Touré will deliver a speech entitled “How Racism Functions Today” at the Jesuit institution. He took the occasion two years ago—on the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade—to promote his support for abortion rights on a broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Cycle.” During the show, Touré recounted the story of a past girlfriend’s abortion and how it “saved [his] life.”
“I knew that pregnant woman and I were not going to be able to form a lasting family,” Touré reportedly remarked. “She decided it was best to have an abortion and days later she did, we did, and in some ways that choice saved my life.”
“I cannot imagine arguing against a woman’s right to control her body,” Touré continued. He even went on to “thank God and country” for abortion, which he claimed “was there to save [him] and keep [him] on a path toward building a strong family,” according to NewsBusters. (more...)
