'Don't ask if you don't want to know the answer': Women's advocate smacks down GOP abortion lies
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2024
- During Wednesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that centered on abortion bans and the implications for interstate travel, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) failed spectacularly when he tried to push the ridiculous Republican talking point that late-term abortions are a common occurrence. GOP fearmongering on abortion is debunked by Joy Reid's expert guests.

Incredibly disrespectful to women..... just described the ENTIRE GOP!!!
🎯🎯🎯
And the Dems. Roe died under Biden and I’ll never forgive nor will I forget.
She shut him down with so much class and respect. Wow👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That woman has the patience of a saint!
Oh my gosh, yes! Calm, caring responses to right-wing hysteria are inspiring.
👏👏
…and something republicans have absolutely none of, class nor respect.
Joy edited it don't be fools.
Go, Ladies. Keep fighting this nonsense that should not even exist. VOTE BLUE
We need the men to stand with us, too.
@@nacarreira777I just happened to see a survey and it showed black men were the highest percentage of people fighting for our right to abortion.. I was pretty stunned by that, I guess I just never thought about my black men standing out there louder than us.. 😂
Too late!!!!
Except for the part that Joe Biden has never even discussed trying to ratify a Equal Rights Amendment.
@@nacarreira777 they do not. Not even the Democrat ones. I have written my Congressman Eric Swalwell about this several times and all I hear are crickets.
Why are men deciding about women's health care ???
Not just men, but men with no medical qualifications, what so ever.
It appears women are not capable to do so.
@pieterotten3848 women are capable, you're just afraid of them.
Because conservitarded males truly believe its their right to controll women.
Because these men want to take women out of worklife and politics and keep them in the kitchen and the bedroom. If half of the population doesn't compete with them for power and influence, it's easier for them to grap power and influence for themselves. You have to be a strong and healthy man to love strong women. These men are not!
Not only is "Senator" Kennedy's attitude insulting to women, it is highly insulting to the medical professionals who are doing their best to provide high quality medical care to those same women. Kennedy is an insult to the whole country.
💯...Kennedy should retire, he is so antiquated in his thinking...
EVERY senator and representative who opposes women's reproductive freedoms does not belong in Congress. This goes for judges and presidents .
Kennedy Looks and Sounds like a Very Miserable and Cranky Old Karen Like Woman! He honestly looks and sounds like a Cranky Old Bat!
I think that it's *INSULTING* to 'Anyone' with a *BRAIN.* Smh . . . disgusting.
Yet, if his mistress is pregnant, he would have her get an abortion and pay for her and the doctor to keep quite.
FINALLY, Senator Kennedy’s ridiculous question is called out for its disrespectful, disingenuous premise. Every time I hear Senator Kennedy ask this question I hoped someone would push his narrative back and expose it for its fear mongering basis. For too long it has been his “gotcha” line of questioning.
If he could at least stop interrupting a person's answer to his question because he does not like the way it is going by adding another question to turn the subject in a circus, the "land of the free" would be a better place to stay.
He has extreme views on everything. He pushes a lot of misinformation and lies! All in the name of Christianity.
Oh yeah! He does that all the time. He can't wait, he's over! Excited about catching someone in a gotcha moment... Then again, he's not the only one.
@@Therealtruthsocial I guess they don't know what Jesus said about people like him. NONE of these people follow Christ.
Why republican women are so quiet knowing that their husbands are lying about late term abortion ? that 's disgusting!
For the same reasons they've always kept quite about their husbands sleeping with their daudhters ! To maintain their status , to be financially secure , to be in the club .
Most of them probably believe it, too.
@@randythomas8612no, they said Republicans, not what the big guy Joe did, showering with his daughter.
@@rightsmatter2370 Citation needed, please.
@@rightsmatter2370 Give me some PROOF liar.
She gave him more respect than he deserved.
Truth
Absolutely, she should have told him the stories of women dying and almost dying because they couldn't get post natal medical emergency care in the state they live in.
Old men making choices for women’s rights for abortion health care.
Not only that, utterly informed old men who don't even have a high school understanding of reproductive biology, serious risks involved, and common pregnancy/miscarriage complications. It also seems that the US has a very poor rating on outcomes for women's reproductive health, compared to similar developed countries.
@@eh3477 It scares me when they say even tools used in abortion may become illegal with the Comstock Act. That would mean actual tools used in emergencies would be illegal. Training people in those emergencies would also be illegal. It is all nightmare stuff.
Tired of all these hands in my panties.
Morality is not a gender issue.
The question is is abortion moraly acceptable?
If it is not moraly acceptable, should any government enforce those morals.
When you've decided your stance on that, apply the same logic to any law.
@@dougaltolan3017 Is taking and using someone else's body WITHOUT CONSENT moraly acceptable ?
If not , FORCED pregnancy are not acceptable.
Kennedy is beyond ignorant and lacks morals. Listening to him talk is appalling
He is not ignorant. He is highly intelligent, What he is though is highly disingenuous and morally bankrupt.
@@konradyearwood5845 Kennedy is the senator that asked if rising water levels caused by global warming could be stopped by moving the moon. He may have been intelligent once but these days he's pretty ignorant. Ignorance and morally bankrupt aren't mutually exclusive just look at their orange messiah.
But, he is a living example of a "late abortion"... when he was already a baby.😅
I can’t stand to hear him talk
@@konradyearwood5845
There is nothing intelligent about a trash-monger like Kennedy. Like Trump, his education was bought and paid for; being an arrogant loudmouth is NOT intellectual discourse.
They really need to push the point that abortions that occur that late is usually because the fetus has died or will not live. It is NOT a choice by the mother.
I think it's more important to "raise awareness" that late-stage abortions are extremely rare.
The GOP constantly asserts that they are common. tRump even asserts that most abortions happen after birth and to "beautiful, healthy babies" for no reason at all.
Regards from a Tom :)
@@tomdavies6443we are smart folk...I believe we could and should do both. Dems need to start pulling up their graphs and visually showing this as well as telling them.
If the fetus is dead it is not an abortion😊
@wandagore8400 You’d think that, but a lot of the legislation banning abortions doesn’t make that distinction since the procedures to remove a fetal corpse are the same procedures used to perform an abortion. There are multiple stories out there of women forced to carry dead fetuses or non-viable pregnancies either to stillbirth or until they (the mother) nearly die from sepsis. Kiersten Hogan. Anne Bynum. Kristen Anaya. Amanda Eid. To name a few.
Sometimes, a "late... baby abortion" ends up as a living abortion like Kennedy😅
Kennedy thinks he and Government has the right to dictate to women and their families. Vote D to protect Reproductive healthcare rights because it's not just abortion. It's IVF and access to contraception.
WOMEN NEED TO UNITE AND SPEAK UP LOUDLY!!!
@@averydavis1708 Men need to speak up and stand by Women in this matter! It's their body and choice!
Government has a right to protect inncent life. That's why our society says murder is illegal.
@@Paul-lm5gv which should be govern by science and not religious dogma based on text written thousands of years when humans had less perceptions based through scientific observation and study and more through random opinions.
Susan B. Anthony was a revolutionary for women's rights. She's probably rolling in her grave how this right-wing organization uses her name disrespectfully.
No pregnancy is guaranteed to end with a healthy baby and mother. You simply cannot force someone to take risks that they are unwillingly to take. Yet that's what Republicans are trying to do.
I was 36, working as a funeral director, 18 weeks pregnant with my first child.
Got a call from a woman who’s sister, also 36, 21 weeks pregnant, has suffered acute eclampsia and died, no warning, no early symptoms, and by the time they got her to the hospital, mother and fetus had both died.
Pregnancy is risky. There are NO guarantees. None. Women can, and do, die from it. Yes, we have dramatically reduced the risks…*but there is no way to eliminate them.*
Wingnut religious whackos like Sen Kennedy need to keep their sizable snoots OUT of women’s health care, because the biggest risk to women’s health is still…..men.
Absolutely! But an old man wouldn't know that! That's y they need to stay in their lane!!
All nine Republican Senators up for reelection this year voted against the Right to IVF Act. So much for the party of Freedoms.
They LOVE to speak for those they can't speak - because they can't say how much they disagree with the Ratpublicans.
niclewis9610, “rights for ME,but NOT for THEE!” is what these clowns stand for !!🤡
WOMEN NEED TO UNITE AND SPEAK UP LOUDLY!!!
@@averydavis1708and vote them out
And our senior senator from here in Maine VOTED PRESENT!! Yup, that's right! I NEVER want to hear Susan Collins introduced as "moderate republican, Susan Collins." NEVER! She voted with Drumph 99% of the time. And the 1% of the time she didn't, she already had cover, because there was a republican majority of votes.
“Don’t ask a question, Senator, if you don’t want the answer.” - Brilliant!

Sad but true
Its not a USA-specific problem.
@@ddraigmafon4725 no but it's the USA that boasts that it's the best as far as women's rights and equality which is patently untrue
@@ddraigmafon4725 True, but at least other countries have tried to improve the situation. In Canada women have equal rights baked into their constitution. In Mexico woman have equal rights baked into the constitution. Misogyny still exists, but codifying equal rights into the constitution is a start.
@@ddraigmafon4725 Maternal mortality in the US continues to increase year-over-year while the global rate has continued to decline. Sounds like the US has a “specific” problem.
I had fetal demise at 6 months. My son died inside of me. Because my care was at a Catholic hospital I was denied anabortion to remove the body, and procts of conception. I was forced to deliver it. I was ill for more than a year... because of this....

He's absolutely creepy!😀
Any time a man crosses his arms during a "discussion", it clearly means that there truly no discussion to be had. It's a method of intimidation. To Sisters of any age: let us not allow others to intimidate us, shame us, lie to us or force us to conform to their right-wing idea of how women should care for themselves...
Fact: you may agree or disagree about Abortion but the fact remains that--'Government',, has no right,, morally or legality to assert power and rule,, over a Woman's absolute right to rule over her own body
True
You seem to be denying the baby any rights until birth (however that is legally defined!)! It's government's role to establish appropriate boundaries for any/all legal issues!
I do, however, agree that governments should not be 'deciding' the boundaries of (il)legalitiy; merely implementing and applying whatever the appropriately qualified professionals decide the boundary is or should be!
@@rosssimpson6268The fetus doesn’t have the rights that no other human has. If you believe fetuses are people then you should know forced pregnancy is slavery
WOMEN NEED TO UNITE AND SPEAK UP LOUDLY!!!
@@ladylaurus8493 I agree wrt rights, though the fact that a fetus has no ability to communicate complicates things somewhat! My view is that a fetus remains a fetus (or baby if that's a preferred expression) until birth, though there are certain 'checkpoints' that could be important legally. I don't actually have a view on 'fetus vs person' as that depends on defining criteria for 'person'! Likewise wrt 'forced pregnancy v slavery', both terms being rather too emotive for this sort of discussion imo!
Abortion continues to be safer than going through pregnancy and childbirth. The woman is the patient, not a fetus.
Fetus is a synonym for an unborn child
@@roobler8923 No, it's not.
Unborn child is synonym for parasite.
@@wtfisthishandIebuIlshitWOW the ignorance is great with you isn't it. You honestly don't know that fetus is Latin for an unborn child.
@rightsmatter2370 Try again. It's latin for offspring.
Senator Kennedy always seems to be getting off on his grotesque descriptively gruesome rhetoric
You just know he's got a crusty sock in his lap...🤮 🧦
I’ve been trying to analyze what I am feeling when I watch him philosophy. Thank you for clarifying what I am feeling. You did it in such a way that the censors didn’t recognize what you did 😂
Many religious people have a fetish for punishing others and causing pain because they are taught to be cruel to their neighbors every sunday morning.
Heck yeah
Funny how you don’t see lawmakers arguing in favor of banning any other medical procedures on the grounds that they’re too icky.
Or suggesting the best way to prevent unwanted, out of wedlock pregnancies is to pass a law requiring all unmarried men to undergo vasectomies. Vasectomies are safe, simple, usually reversible outpatient procedures with rare minor treatable complications, and unlike pregnancy, never end in death of the man. But if such a law was ever passed, you can bet they’d be all about bodily autonomy.
I think we need a lot more angry women answering stupid questions in exactly this way.
Senator Kennedy is beyond vile.
He oozes slime.
why? They didn't include his question, they chose the end of his comment. Can you provide his full question cause I don't actually know it. Edit: I don't mean it as aggressive I legitimately don't know his question, they didn't show it.
He’s always trying for a gotcha, which makes him a bully!
@@JC-ml9yt I'm asking again cause I don't know and they didn't show his question just the end remarks, what was his question?
@@xAmpriderx: I’ve tried to listen to John Kennedy in Congress a number of times and it’s pointless because he never shuts up long enough for anyone to hear the answer.
Asking a question and then crossing your arms sends the message "I don't care what you say." Good on the lady for calling that out.
Who in their right mind looks at Senator Kennedy and says yeah that guy surely has my best interests in mind I will vote for him?
I can only think Kennedy's primary opponent must have been a hungry alligator or a canebrake rattlesnake. It's not all that unusual for the Republicans to throw their money and their support to reptiles of one sort or another.
Men
It about controlling women. Such is their fear.
You are RIGHT. Trumpublicans' ultimate goal is to entirely destroy the financial and political power of women.
it's also about keeping the white population above 60%
“With all due respect sir,”…you don’t deserve any.
If you don't want/need an abortion, don't have one.
They are starting with the women to take their rights away then they would continue down the list
ABSOLUTELY
If you are a woman or a minority, I Don see how one can vote Republican.
Given the chance, not only will they take our reproduction rights, they will go for our right to vote. They will pass laws restricting our right to work, because that some how takes poor little man's ability to provide.
I think they actually started with voting rights. But they can’t help themselves, so they Have to try to subjugate everyone they feel is beneath them. We’ve been through this before and just like then, they’re going to overreach.
Thats how it starts, so before it completely gets out of hand, better they are voted out. Kennedy is an inbalanced imbecile .
Thank you, Jocelyn Frye.
Not abortion. Medical care. So no health care for testes or prostate issues
No abortion, then all men must have vasectomies!!
It is not discussed enough that late term abortions are not every day occurrences that are a substitute for birth control. They are health crises and essential to women’s health everywhere. We have to keep saying this. Even abortion advocates are sometimes too quiet on this subject.
I don't think anyone advocates for abortion to be the default approach for all pregnancies.
The most extreme in that direction only go as far as believing that all women should be allowed a choice without needing to give any reason.
They advocate for CHOICE not for abortion.
Regards from a Tom :)
They advocate for CHOICE, not for abortion.
Regards from a Tom :)
@@tomdavies6443what youre ignoring however, is that any woman should be allowed to remove the fetus at any time, for any reason. The way it was before activist supreme court judges overturned Roe v Wade. Her privacy ia what matters, not your church’s dogma.
@@Mister_Listener - You seem to have misread my comments. No-one is advocating forced abortions for everyone. There are no "abortion advocates". There are "pro-choice advocates".
Having a choice does not force women either way. "Pro-life" dogma asserts that opposing their rhetoric means being "pro-abortion". No-one is arguing for pro-abortion in all cases but that is what the "pro-life" people claim.
It is important to recognise that opposition to "pro-life" is "pro-CHOICE". Ironically, countries that DO give women a free CHOICE have far fewer abortions.
Women seldom choose abortions when given a free choice and easy access.
Regards from a Tom :)
"I do not believe that just because you are opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, a child educated, a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is."

Thank you for the quote. That says so much.
Kennedy really should put his teeth in when he speaks. Actually it would be best if he didn’t speak at all.
He rambles. It's not really "speaking" as much as squawking.
His frequent tangents and asides are somewhat fewer than tRump's but even so he too is incoherent and nonsensical.
Regards from a Tom :)
He speaks in HHEEEEEEE HAAAAAWWWWWWW
Kennedy's 'good ole boy' act has started to effect his brain.
More reasons to vote! Organize and get people registered. Help them to get to the ballots. Vote for your life 💙
Never should be a government decision about a woman's body!! Hello! Who plants the seed guys! Lots of things can happen to a woman and she has the right to do the right thing for her life!!
“Don’t ask a question if you don’t wanna hear the answer Senator”. 👏 I highly advise anyone who needs to go testify before Congress to please feel free to clap back at them. Respect is earned, and they’ll get it when they can give it and earn it.
I have family whose baby died, just died w/o explanation within weeks of due date. No fault, no blame, just wasn’t compatible with life. It was devastating. Women do not choose to end late stage pregnancy. Nature chooses.
Ironically that life may have been spared in "3rd world" countries such as Cuba, Mexico and India.
Such countries have pre-natal care and screening programs that "pro life" laws and policies prevent.
There are often simple fixes that "abortion clinics" can do early to prevent fetal-death, if irregularities are found early enough.
Regards from a Tom :)
"Pro-life" laws and policies have made the fetal death-rate higher in the USA than in some "3rd world" countries.

Thank you Ms. Frye and Ms. Litman for educating someone who is supposed to be a medical doctor. Perfectly stated is that politicians need to stay in their lane and not put themselves inside women's business!!!
More people need to respond to the ridiculous Congressional questions this way.
Nothing like having your right to make your own decisions about your own healthcare questioned by a bunch of old men.
That is how they should always answer these jokers and not let them get away with nonsense.
here is the most awesome thought in the world... if a man got pregnant and not a women... would we even be talking about this right now?
NO we would not!
Although, if we were perfectly honest, if men got pregnant, the human race would undoubtedly have died out by now. Men couldn't handle pregnancy, and im a man saying this!
We men have no fn place in deciding these things..
Women are more than capable of sorting this out themselves
You, sir, are a gentleman.
@@anitadees4223
It’s a simple fact … it’s religion/ the tail end of our religious/ superstitious pasts.. wanting to still control….
It’s is the churches n cultures tell men that we must control families…, and we generally naturally do want to feel strong…. It just a big lie… about control….
If ya not carrying the pregnancy… shut up
Last time I checked the Bible, Jesus was not into forcing his beliefs down the throats of others who believed differently than he did!! It's not christ-like behavior!!
It's pretty simple, if your against abortion, then don't get one! No one is forcing anyone to get an abortion! Everyone should be able to make their own choice on this issue!!
But to strip that away right away from someone to make that decision just because someone else doesn't like that decision IS NOT THE ANSWER AND IS WRONG!!
We are a country made up from many different people, from many different places, with many different beliefs or unbelief for that matter!! No one person's belief is superior to anyone else's!! Just different!!
The conservatives and far right in this country seem to have more in common with the Taliban these days.. "Believe my way else!!"

You're correct. Also, in the Old Testament book of Numbers, God instructs Moses on the proper way to induce an abortion in a woman accused of adultery.
To the modern GQP, Jesus Christ would be unacceptably woke.
Jesus was also Jewish, which means He would have had no problem with abortion as, in Judaism, a foetus isn't considered a person until it has been delivered.
Just saying!
👏👏👏💯 Yes exactly! I have been saying this and I'm so glad to actually hear it on a legacy media organization. She stated it perfectly!!!

Dipsticks are useful. Please don’t insult dipsticks. But he is a total sack of male bovine discharge.
I am so glad somebody finally answered this question and so elegantly
An excellent response from this woman, she needs to speak more
If you want to get the women in your life who don't vote out to the polls show them this clip and then ask them if Kennedy's the sort of person they want put in charge of their healthcare
The Republicans are trying to go back in time, they're already thinking like it's B.C. before Christ.
Not really. Abortions have been common at least since the time of Cleopatra. The demand for a particularly effective and safe abortifacient drove the extinction of the plant that was infused for that purpose in ancient Rome.
John Kennedy should get a refund on those degrees he got.
They not only trying to stigmatize it but also instill fear. They know that when it happens it's to save the mother's life because she already lost her child because of a medical complication.
They wanted to end Roe v Wade, they got it, now deal with the repercussions that comes with it. We're just getting started.
best answer ever to Comrade Kennedy's ridicules question - he has done this to other women he has questioned - the real question to ask " How many men die giving birth"?
Cannot find one man in history who died? Why would any women care what men think about women health care issues? what do you think?
The women body should always be her choice
I am naturally enthralled by a Black women of a certain vintage, but to hear clear wisdom that spans ages and shall only be aquired through an endurance not known too many.
As as Operating Room Nurse who worrked at a major University teaching hospital's genetic testing department, I suupported women who needed late-term abortion when they were diagnosed with fetal deformities or the fetus had died. I agree, that the honorable Senator's implication is insulting to women.
This country has freedom of religion -they have no right to force their religion on me or anyone else’s

Glad Ried called out Liz Cheney. The “reasonable” Republican. So tired of people calling her that and not remembering her crap take on abortion.

She doesn’t have my respect in general and I’m not celebrating her. I do recognize that she did something difficult and she did it for the right reasons. I’m glad she did it. I’m also glad to acknowledge that I disagree with pretty much everything else for which Liz Cheney stands. I can do both.
I'm an Australian and any government in our country who tried to dictate our rights over our health and bodies would be voted out. I appreciate the views of the pro-life movement in Australia.......their bodies, their choice. Likewise, our bodies, our choice.
One can only hope that those far right religious leaders and political as well as the judges get to witness or live this horrible attitude they have made for women of all colours ! I Hope they survive the pregnancy and don't die .
The RICH have always had access to abortions. Post WWII college and university sororities had the numbers of helpful doctors on the bulletin boards. The housemothers of most had "emergency funds" to pay for the service when a girl had no money of her own and time was not her friend.
The ignorance of some of our elected leaders is frightening! 😢😮

Not a big lover of Joy Reid , but I love that she called out Liz Cheney for her right wing idiocy. I hear too much praise for Liz Cheney because she doesn't worship Trump. That is a low low limbo bar. We can't forget that She herself is horrible and has horrible beliefs

What’s the point of doctors doing all the training and updates on woman’s care if the advice they give is not recommended, why should politicians decide with no medical training……insane.
I like the phrase, "no longer compatible with life".
I'm going to start using that phrase to describe my day to day vibe.

Humans have logic and reasoning skills. They have empathy for others. Republicans lack these basic things and so are not human beings. They're animals.
