On Tuesday, the Republican-controlled House voted to impose a nationwide ban on abortions (http://foxnewsinsider.com/tag/abortion) after 22 weeks of pregnancy. The measure, however, will not be considered by the Democrat-led Senate, and President Obama has said he would veto it. Democrats criticized Republicans for what they see as a new attack on abortion rights. In a recent MSNBC (http://foxnewsinsider.com/tag/msnbc) panel discussion on the bill, University of Pennsylvania professor Salamisha Tillet suggested that this is a racial issue.
She expressed the possibility that Republicans support abortion bans so that white women will keep having babies, thereby "reproducing whiteness, white supremacy, white privilege."
Megyn Kelly (http://foxnewsinsider.com/people/megyn-kelly), Kirsten Powers (http://foxnewsinsider.com/tag/kirsten-powers/) and Monica Crowley (http://foxnewsinsider.com/people/monica-crowley) were all seemingly stunned by that remark, with Megyn asking, "How stupid is that statement!? There is nothing true or accurate about it."
Powers pointed out that if someone were a white supremacist, they would support abortion because the CDC's figures show "disproportionately" more African-American women having abortions, compared to white women.
"It's like if you don't want black babies aborted, you're a racist and if you're pro-life, you're racist. Why can't they just accept there are actually some people who think you shouldn't be aborting a baby after 22 weeks?" Powers asked. She recalled a few years ago when a pro-life group was harshly criticized by the left for putting up a billboard in Times Square "basically saying abortion was wiping out black babies."
Crowley said Tillet is so "blinded by her left-wing ideology that she can't see the facts."
The White House called the late-term abortion ban an "assault on a woman's right to choose," which Powers called the "same talking points" from the left on this issue. She said most Americans are against abortions after 22 weeks, and left-wing groups simply want to attack instead of trying to argue the merits of a very important issue.
