She accused them of sanctioning the slaughter of innocent babies and fostering a chilling divide between those fortunate enough to be born and those denied life before they can even draw breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDear Madam President, dear survivors\u2014no, I won\u2019t retract that\u2014every one of you sits here today because you weren\u2019t aborted. You were born,\u201d Behrendt declared, opening her address with a stark reminder of the obvious. When the state parliament\u2019s vice president, Barbara Otte-Kinast, chided her for the term \u201csurvivors,\u201d Behrendt didn\u2019t flinch. \u201cFine, then\u2014dear people who weren\u2019t aborted. You were born, not from some vague \u2018birthing person\u2019 or \u2018parent 1,\u2019 but from a woman\u2014your mother. And you entered this world as human beings, endowed with rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI congratulate you on making it,\u201d she continued, \u201cbecause not everyone does. We live in a system that snuffs out over 100,000 lives annually, stripping them of their most basic right\u2014the right to exist. This is a two-tier society: the born on one side, the unborn on the other, abandoned to a culture of death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behrendt\u2019s speech came during a debate over a radical \u201cself-determined pregnancy\u201d bill, pushed through by the Socialist SPD and Greens. The measure, which passed at the state level, seeks to expand abortion access, including legalizing it nationwide in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. Behrendt, the AfD\u2019s family policy spokesperson in Lower Saxony, didn\u2019t mince words: \u201cYou, SPD and Greens, have decided it\u2019s acceptable to kill babies\u2014not because it\u2019s legally demanded, but because you\u2019ve arrogantly claimed the power to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rejecting the leftist mantra of \u201cmy body, my choice,\u201d she countered, \u201cThe freedom of the born stops where the freedom of the unborn begins. There\u2019s no difference in worth between a child in the womb and one outside it\u2014they\u2019re both human.\u201d She dismantled the dehumanizing rhetoric of the left, which often reduces unborn children to \u201cclumps of cells.\u201d \u201cIf that\u2019s the standard, then you\u2019re all just clumps of cells in suits,\u201d she quipped. \u201cEvery one of us starts as two cells\u2014one from a mother, one from a father\u2014and grows into 37 trillion. Life is a continuum, not a disposable inconvenience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill\u2019s provisions, she warned, would coerce doctors\u2014even family practitioners\u2014into performing abortions, all to accommodate a society that refuses to take responsibility for its actions. \u201cWhy? Because not every child is planned? Let\u2019s be honest: children come from sex, and no contraception is foolproof. If you don\u2019t want a child, abstain. It\u2019s that simple. Eating cake can make you fat; sex can make a baby. The unborn shouldn\u2019t pay the price for your choices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behrendt highlighted a damning statistic: of the 100,000+ abortions in Germany each year, only 35 are due to rape or incest\u2014what she called \u201ccriminological indications.\u201d The vast majority, she implied, are matters of convenience. \u201cWe don\u2019t need more abortions,\u201d she insisted. \u201cWe need more support for parents, more respect for life, so an unplanned baby isn\u2019t treated as an unwanted burden. Your proposal is a disgrace, and you should be ashamed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her speech ignited a firestorm online, with conservatives hailing it as a rare, courageous defense of the unborn in a nation where pro-life voices are often silenced. One supporter called it \u201cthe most fearless pro-life stand ever taken in a German parliament.\u201d Behrendt\u2019s words are a rallying cry against a progressive agenda that sacrifices the innocent on the altar of personal freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a bold and unapologetic stand for the unborn, German politician Vanessa Behrendt of the Alternative
