Bevin dismissed suggestions that the new laws in Alabama and Georgia are racist.
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin has claimed the strict abortion laws recently passed in Alabama and Georgia could be beneficial towards African Americans, as he believes the previous legislation was racist and intentionally targeted people of color.
Host Carlson brought up a tweet from political activist Linda Sarsour, who wrote that white people “continue to uphold the patriarchy” and are therefore responsible for the so-called"heartbeat bill" in Georgia. Carlson also pointed to comments by actress Emily Ratajkowski, who noted that states with the highest proportion of black women are currently the ones imposing stricter abortion laws.
Carlson asks is it not a racist argument to suggest that people from poor, black neighborhoods shouldn’t be able to have “a ton of kids.”“The abortion industry intentionally targets people of color, this should be an outrage to people. But indeed, in polite company, were expected to ignore it and pretend that it's not what it is, blatant racism perpetrated on people who are defenseless.”
