Sometimes it really is best to just sit down and keep your mouth shut on a subject. For instance, an NBC reporter recently tweeted out a story about three migrant children at a detention facility near the southern border who have been sharing shifts watching over a sick child.
"A team of attorneys who recently visited the facility near El Paso told The Associated Press that three girls, ages 10 to 15, said they had been taking turns keeping watch over a sick 2-year-old boy because there was no one else to look after him." https://t.co/Fwe1RlSkbW

Now, whether they are legal or illegal, white or black, boy or a girl, no one wants children to suffer. However, when you’re the president of group that’s sole purpose is to advocate for a procedure that ends in the snuffing out of a child’s life, you may want to shut your mouth, at least for a little bit.
But apparently not seeing any irony in her statement, the president of NARAL felt the need to comment on the situation.
To bear witness and give voice to atrocities like those of Trump's actions to migrant children right now with no clear path to offer immediate remedy is hard. It's not as hard as being those children or their parents. Don't turn away. They can't. https://t.co/9uKfvNXF85

But when challenged about the incongruity of her statement and her position of the dismembering of the unborn, it gets even worse.
The president of NARAL can take all kinds of seats when it comes to talking about keeping together children and parents https://t.co/5Awyothg0j

Nope. Standing up. You can't make my silence part of your plan to cover up your own complicity in enabling the people who perpetuate these atrocities. https://t.co/CqFU6mdlUN
