Eduardo Verástegui : Get Out of My Uterus!

Actor Eduardo Verástegui is promoting heavy a video against abortion saying it's not only lucrative but genocide. He compares abortion to the Nazi holocaust. He tells us, using his own personal story, and the story of the mother of his child. We don't hear from her. He uses tactics to scare the Latino community into voting against Obama, because Obama's pro-choice stance takes away the rights of parents and allows for sexual predators to force minor girls into back ally abortions. Seriously?

If Eduardo really cares about the lives of children, then he'll talk about the lack of support all Latina mothers face especially young single mothers who are forced to raise children because they feel threatened into not making a choice about their own bodies. He'll talk about the lack of affordable child care options and how women's wages, especially Latina women's wages make it a struggle to clothe, feed, and house a child.

And if he wants to talk genocide let's talk about a real lack of choice. About how Latina women and women of color are sterilized against their will or experiemented on. Ay but he'e probably against birth control. And if he's anti-Obama then is he pro-McCain/Palin. Palin is for abstinance only sex education that leads to miseducation about bodies and how they work and how they should be taken care of until...whoops, you're pregnant.

Warning: the language and images used in the video could be triggering. So if you are sensitive to being made to feel like crap for the choices women make about their own bodies then don't watch it.

What a biased piece of writing.

Eduardo has shown some guts and he should be applauded for looking out for your community. No doubt the KKK love unknowing hispanics such as yourself who buy into the hedonistic lies your country espouses.

Keep killin yourselves by aborting your uborn children. The only one you're hurting is yourself

The guy is nutz... suddenly when a new life is born these people forget that they exist. health care for low income children? that's asking for too much... descent education opportunities? that's asking for too much...
stop all the hot air and don't forget that fetuses are human beings too after they are born.

The piece may be "biased" but it brings up several vital points to consider.

Versategui's video is blatantly anti-Obama and (though I disagree with most of them) he has legit reasons for it. Yet is he implying that he's in favor of the GOP approach to birth control? Would he consider a third party's policy instead? Or are his protestations just whining without offering an alternative?

(Though he was born in Mexico, he is a naturalized U.S. citizen; hence, he can vote in November).

For that matter, was there any entity behind his video or did he do it solely on his own? While his religious views should be respected one cannot help but wonder who exactly was behind his video- Verastegui himself or somebody/thing else.

And let's be honest; does the KKK really "love unknowing hispanics" like you claim about Maegan if the group hates anybody whose skin color is darker than lily white? Much like the second commenter calling Verategui "nutz", the KKK point is silly and exaggerative.
