Erick Erickson Erick Erickson is a conservative he is a
a Fox News contributor analyst or something
and we've been talking about that Texas abortion legislation
shortly after it passed Fox News contributor Eric Erickson tweeted
that liberals should bookmark a website that sells
coat hangers have Coast course coat hangers kinda reminiscent of them were
in your image
imagery rather above back room type abortions
back-alley abortions and he saying that this really was an offensive he saying
hold on a second
you actually had democrats trying to stall the legislation by coming out with
their own coat hanger so I'm just telling them
where they can get those coat hangers
I'm he said dear liberals go bookmark this site now and it was a link to
supply warehouses page for hangers in garment bags
I think that this is incredibly offensive Louis and his response was
kinda even more offensive he tweeted people offended by my mocking their coat
hanger hyperbole
are cool with decapitating a child in utero
hash tag perspective what do you think this guy
I not not someone I would want
on any media outlets on any station
anywhere ever talking to anyone about anything really
I think it's the point here to to take the conversation in this direction
is the I I can't even think the words
its to use for it but no one should be hosting this person at all
I want to focus on one really specific aspect of what he's kind of saying
implying
there's this idea that if the Liberals
who would be getting the coat hangers and using them for the back alley
abortions
the reality though Lewis is that the places where abortions are hardest to
get
exactly in in this particular case we're talking about Texas already but
particularly red states those are the places where people are more likely to
obtain
unsafe abortions home abortions back-alley abortions we know
that restricting abortion is not really reduce the number of abortions it just
makes them much less safe and it also increases health care cost because some
people
are injured or otherwise become sick through
pursuing these on unsafe abortions and then they end up in the emergency room
anyway so Eric Ericson here is completely distorting the fact that
actually not even considering
that its conservative women in red states
who will be significantly affected by the so-called coat hanger abortions I
don't think he really cares about the reality that
now of course I did in his fantasy world I had there are no
young girls in a in homes in red states that have little Jesus statues in them
we're going to get abortions because they're conservative in their
god-fearing people and that just doesn't happen
rights only the liberals who get abortions 3 I'm the same way that
right-wingers they never
they never get have affairs they never cheat they never reach shrimp and stuff
like that i mean i nobody who's conservative
ever violates anything that Jesus
or Rick parry OBGYN says that you shouldn't be doing so that that we know
that all work out really well
are yeah I i mean but
what bike I can't think of a better example I
Rick Perry Rick Perry's really a guy who pioneers
in this in this fantasy world mentality gay certainly does
