Empathy hijacking

Empathy hijacking: When you gain someone’s compassion for a truly tragic situation, but then weaponize it to further a cruel and unjust agenda. Chrissy Teigen recently co-hosted a Q&A with VP Kamala Harris at the White House, where she employed empathy hijacking by using the story of losing her own child through miscarriage to further the political agenda of killing babies via abortion on demand. Miscarriage and abortion are not the same - one’s a tragic loss, and one is an intentional destruction. It’s horrific to conflate the two, and use the heartbreaking tragedy of miscarriage to justify the slaughter of babies via abortion. Every day, 2800 precious babies are killed in the womb. Where is the empathy and compassion for them, their lives violently destroyed before they had a chance to take their first breath?
