It took about a day, but here we are. The anti-choice movement is bending over backwards to justify its continued support of Trump and his administration after a whistleblower revealed the reproductive coercion and oppression at an ICE detention center. https://bit.ly/3hDj1UB
Instead of calling out Trump and ICE for these horrific human rights abuses and the reproductive coercion they have subjected immigrant women to, they’re spreading disinformation about abortion and Planned Parenthood—and attacking Democratic lawmakers. Sounds about right.
They used the same deflection tactics back in 2018, when “the most pro-life administration ever” separated thousands of children from their families. What was the response from SBA List, an anti-choice advocacy group? “We refrain from public comment on immigration.”
Worse than that, anti-choice extremists and news sites actually tried to make family separations seem like they weren’t so bad. Newsflash: Separating children from their parents is despicable, immoral, and unconscionable. No matter who or where you are, families belong together.
These extremists won't condemn Trump's heinous actions towards immigrants and their families because they don't actually care about families. They care about advancing their own agenda—which has always been rooted in maintaining white patriarchal control. https://bit.ly/3kfzIao
Bottom line: There is nothing “pro-life” about ignoring the suffering of immigrant women and families because it’s politically expedient. Voting for Trump means voting for these horrendous practices to continue. It's past time for these injustices to end. https://bit.ly/33xFg9v
