Witness Tells off Sen. Kennedy in Abortion Hearing: ‘Don’t Ask a Question if You Don’t Want to Know the Answer’

‘So, I think the premise of your question sets up a conversation about abortion that is unfair’

EXCERPT:

FRYE: "Well, senator, first of all, don’t ask a question if you don’t want to know the answer. And I think one — "

KENNEDY: "Well, I'm asking you — "

FRYE: "But I'm saying to you, senator, one percent, one percent of abortions happen at 21 weeks or later. So I think the premise of your question sets up a conversation about abortion that is unfair. It is — rarely is that ever the instance. Most — the vast majority of pregnancies and abortions that are considered late in a pregnancy have to do with severe, devastating medical circumstances. And I understand your point, senator. I understand your point. But with all due respect, I also think the chances of people sort of getting all the way through a pregnancy and then sort of saying, 'I don’t want it,' is disrespectful to women."
