Abortions Cause Cancer According to Confirmed Trump Judicial Nominee

Wendy Vitter, the wife of former U.S. Sen. David Vitter (R-Louisiana) and a former counsel for the Archdiocese of New Orleans, was approved in a Senate confirmation vote on Thursday to become a federal judge in Louisiana in spite of her controversial views on abortion.

Vitter was nominated more than 18 months ago by President Donald Trump, but her confirmation was delayed after it was revealed she had omitted important details about her past statements regarding women’s health rights, the Washington Post reported. Vitter, for instance, once claimed that the family planning organization, Planned Parenthood, killed 150,000 women annually.

Among her many other dubious claims, Vitter also peddled the erroneous notion that a woman receiving an abortion increased her chances of developing cancer later in life.

That opinion, which has been pushed in many anti-choice circles in years’ past, is without merit of any kind, according to the American Cancer Society.
