A petition urging the federal government to ask New York State to overturn a new law that allows for abortions up until birth collected over 250,000 signatures after just five days. Now, the creator of the petition has vowed to not stop until she has collected one signature for every baby aborted last year.
The mother-of-three said that although she is passionate about standing up against abortion, she had never done anything significant to fight for the cause. But the night after her husband told her the abortion law had passed in New York, she was determined to do something about it.
The RHA also permits midwives and nurse practitioners to carry out medical abortions and allows physician assistants to perform some surgical abortions.
The 28-year-old mother, whose children are age four, six, and seven, said she managed to collect 100,000 signatures in just over 48 hours. As of Jan. 29, the petition had collected over 263,000 signatures.
Passionate From a Young Age
Spiller had taken the pro-life stance since she was age 9. She first learned about abortion through her friend at school and went home to ask her father about it. She recalled her father was gentle with his explanation. At one point of the conversation, she asked her father, “is this bad?”She said she began to fully comprehend the importance of life when she became pregnant with her first child.
She added that she understands the arguments coming from the pro-choice advocates but believes that there is no reason to abort a baby in the third trimester—something the new law has legalized.
“Not a fetal or maternal indication—what we say in medicine. If there’s a problem, and there are problems in the third trimester, both with the babies and with the mom that require delivery, just deliver the baby. We don’t have to kill it,” Hamada said.
Hamada said that the liberal progressive agenda doesn’t define the baby as a human being until birth, as they removed the criminal protections for an unborn baby, reported the news website.
“Their agenda is to have unlimited abortions nationwide,” he said. “I think New York’s move here has really opened the door for that, but I know that, down in Tennessee, for example, we’re resisting that. We’re wanting to pass a heartbeat bill here in the next little while, hopefully.”
In addition, Spiller said she’s had conversations with her pro-choice friends and many of them are also against the New York law.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old said after the petition she is going to continue to fight for the cause until abortion becomes illegal in America.
