Fox Contributor Compares Abortion to Slavery: Pro-Lifers ‘Feel Like They’re the Abolitionists of Our Day’
Fox News contributor Rachel Campos-Duffy on Wednesday compared abortion to slavery, claiming: “This is not the first time in American history where one group of powerful people are deciding who is sufficiently human enough so they can do whatever they want with them.”
“These 2020 candidates aren’t just saying you know, rape and incest and exceptions and even first trimester, which pro-lifers like me don’t even agree with, but a lot of American population does,” said Campos-Duffy, during an appearance on Fox & Friends. “They’re saying abortion unfettered, unregulated all the way through the third trimester and even after birth.”
To be clear, there are no Democrats seeking to legalize infanticide. Only 1.3 percent of abortions take place after 21 weeks, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and those cases largely involve conditions that endanger the mother or involve severe fetal anomalies. Most states already limit abortion to under 24 weeks.
