Just when you think you’ve heard all the leftists whining about the possibility of not being able to kill babies, Alyssa Milano adds yet another horrible take to her portfolio of nonsense in an op-ed published in the Daily Beast on May 31.
The C-list actress and A-list pest added her voice to the choir and directed it at President Biden, saying that he must do “everything in his power to protect our reproductive rights.”
She assumes that abortion is an entitlement, and that removing access to it would be a violation of human rights. She makes a ridiculous claim that the “extreme right” is trying to “control and commodify” women and encourages Biden to “grow a pair of ovaries and act.” She thinks that saving a baby’s life is the same thing as making women into chattel. Alarmism is the left’s favorite weapon, and Milano is certainly a frequent user of it.
She appeals to the past American stance on abortion, suggesting that abortion is okay because “abortion was legal in our nation until the late 1800s.” Slavery was also legal. Moral claims cannot be made based on legality. It used to be legal, and it was just as horrible today.
Her reflexive rhetoric continues in her article, with familiar platitudes such as the supreme court “on the verge of setting women back more than 150 years.” and “If you think the radical right will stop at abortion, you need to think again.” She employs typical leftist catastrophization tactics. The purpose of this piece is to rouse a crowd.
Milano also suggests Biden could railroad the Equal Rights Amendment in to the constitution to try to protect her right to murder her child. However, Milano ignores the fact women are already equal after the introduction of the ERA in so many years. Another example of the extreme left’s desire to pursue their agenda is this.
Milano’s op-ed is certainly nothing new, as she’s been shown to be prone to being a firebrand for the liberal agenda. While logic and reason may not be her strong suit, Milano is still doing the best she can: pontificating to leftist prelates.
