Democratic Congresswoman Jackie Speier told a group of reporters outside the Capitol that an abortion—that literally kills an unborn baby—is “safer than a wisdom tooth extraction.”
The comment was made as the United States Supreme Court hears June Medical Services v. Russo, a case from Louisiana which could result in the high court restricting abortion.

Several people online quickly disagreed with the California representative.
“Nobody died when I got my wisdom teeth removed,” one Twitter user said online.
“It sure isn’t safe for the precious innocent murdered baby!” another replied.
Take a look at some of these responses:
Forget the fetus for a second.
This is not medically or scientifically true. Not at all.

Abortion, the only medical procedure with 100% fatalities.

Not for the aborted, it's fatal.

Beg to differ, @RepSpeier.
Nobody died when I got my wisdom teeth removed.

Just looking at her face and demeanor, I see unparalleled cruelty. She embraces cruelty and personifies it through and through. It has made her facial features ugly and twisted.
