In a 2019 Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/dr-nicole-saphier-lawmakers-comments-on-abortion-bill-are-appalling-im-thankful-i-didnt-abort-my-son\">op-ed<\/a>, Saphier blasted Alabama state Rep. John Rogers (D) for a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >speech opposing pro-life legislation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them in the world unwanted, unloved, you send them to the electric chair. So, you kill them now or you kill them later,\u201d Rogers said at the time. \u201cSome parents can\u2019t handle a child with problems. It could be retarded. It could have no arms and no legs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can only say with certainty that although my pregnancy may have been unwanted, my \u2018kid\u2019 certainly was not,\u201d Saphier responded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has brought unparalleled joy to my life and has grown up to be a fine young man who will enrich the world by his presence for many years to come,\u201d she added. \u201cWhen I was just 17 and learned I was pregnant, I was suddenly faced with a life-and-death decision: get an abortion, or become a mom much sooner than I had ever expected. I chose motherhood, and am thankful every day that I am now blessed with a wonderful 19-year-old son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeaking from my own experience, I know that despite Rogers\u2019 claim, not all products of unintentional pregnancies are \u2018unwanted\u2019 and born \u2018unloved.\u2019 Yes, the pregnancy itself may have been unwanted, but that does not mean the end result is destined for the \u2018electric chair,\u2019 as Rogers put it,\u201d Saphier wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the glaringly obvious inappropriateness of his use of the word \u2018it\u2019 to refer to a human being and \u2018retarded,\u2019 the tone of these comments is reminiscent of the now-discredited eugenics movement, which advocated selective breeding of humans to remove what were considered \u2018inferior\u2019 genetic traits and groups,\u201d she continued, noting that many children may later develop \u201cissues\u201d such as serious illnesses and even cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoes Rep. Rogers advocate \u2018killing them now\u2019 if a 2-year-old loses her arm in a car accident, or if a 10-month-old is diagnosed with a rare liver cancer? They will live with a form of disability. \u2026 Where is the line in the sand regarding killing the children now or later for Rogers?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a 2023 Fox News appearance, Saphier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6340745387112\">called on<\/a> the GOP to adopt a unified front against abortion, following months of mixed messaging from Trump. In January 2023, after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/109615636263894025\">blamed<\/a> Republicans\u2019 2022 midterm losses on \u201cthe abortion issue,\u201d which he said \u201clost large numbers of voters\u201d due to Republicans\u2019 pro-life policies.<\/p>\n<p>In September of that same year, Trump again <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-desantis-abortion-ban-republican-primary-5bdbba55f9c2f328d49b5fbe9727677e\">faulted<\/a> Republicans for rushing to enact pro-life legislation after the Supreme Court\u2019s monumental ruling, calling such laws \u201ca terrible thing and a terrible mistake\u201d and instead urging the GOP to reach a moderated \u201cconsensus\u201d on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Saphier warned that Republicans have \u201ca massive messaging problem\u201d on abortion. \u201cWhen you look at the major issues that people go to the polls for to vote, when it comes to abortion, the Democrats are unified and the Republicans are completely fractured,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoving forward, they have to get their messaging together,\u201d Saphier added, noting that Republicans risk facing significant losses at the ballot box without a coherent position on abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Mary Szoch, director of the Center for Human Dignity at Family Research Council, expressed encouragement at the news of Saphier\u2019s nomination. \u201cIt\u2019s great news that President Trump\u2019s nominee for Surgeon General recognizes an unborn child in the womb is a person,\u201d she told The Washington Stand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood health care begins with respect for life. My hope is that Dr. Saphier\u2019s experience and courage as a mom will guide her efforts to shape the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-4699d60d-0 sc-e5014824-0 kNkoeB hKBuKc\">\n<p><em>S.A.
