The liberal media has gone right into a frenzy over the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Nonetheless, “by no means let a disaster go to waste” continues to be the prevailing dogma, and the panel of CNN’s New Day on Monday morning took consolation within the delusion that the Supreme Court docket choice will push the Republican Occasion into political irrelevance.
The panel started — with a somber “what now” tone reserved for main U.S. navy defeats, terrorist assaults, and Republicans successful court docket instances — with Brianna Keilar asking, “How completely different, Laura, are ladies’s rights in America this morning?”
Laura Jarrett centered on the upcoming authorized challenges over abortion tablets, “I feel the true battle that you just’re going to see play out is what occurs with medicated abortion, the 2 tablets that induce abortion — I imply, over half of girls on this nation who get an abortion are literally doing it by these two tablets proper now.”
John Berman then turned the dialogue to politics, asking CNN political commentator S.E. Cupp, “What are — now that anti-abortion activists obtained what they wished, proper, which is to overturn Roe vs. Wade, what occurs now politically, do you suppose?”
Cupp indulged in some wishful considering, “It is exhausting to think about the Republican Occasion surviving this. Um — between anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ, ebook banning, anti-democracy — I imply, add all the aggressive bullshit — uh, rubbish, sorry, to this — I do not take that again — um, add all of it collectively and I do not know who’s left sooner or later — in future generations to be drawn to this get together.”
The unconventional Left has given the GOP a fairly easy platform to run on which Cupp inadvertently summed up: don’t kill infants, don’t have youngsters attend sexually specific pleasure parades and drag exhibits, cease school-age youngsters from studying literal pornography, and preserve election integrity. All of those are defensive measures in opposition to an more and more radical progressive motion, however in Cupp’s thoughts the Republican Occasion is the one pushing “aggressive bullshit?”
Let it’s famous that Cupp didn’t apologize for her profanity. So beautiful. So courageous.
However this wasn’t the tip for Cupp’s dangerous takes. Afterward within the panel, Keilar requested her concerning the financial repercussions of the choice for lower-income ladies, “I imply, there is a nonpartisan examine two years outdated out of NBER, and the preliminary discovering stated that when ladies have entry to abortion — uh, and when it is taken away, when that entry is taken away, there’s a giant improve in monetary misery that’s sustained for years.”
Cupp responded with this absolute headscratcher, “Hear, I am — I’m pro-life, I sympathize with the pro-life place, however I am a contemporary gal. I perceive the need for this. For — for a lot of ladies, I do not choose that. And I’ve all the time accepted Roe because the regulation of the land as a result of it is older than me. It all the time has been.”
As a normal rule, at any time when somebody says one thing and follows it with “however,” no matter they are saying earlier than the “however” is — to make use of considered one of Cupp’s favourite phrases — “bullshit” (and sure, “I do not take that again.”).
Flippant observations apart, it’s really horrifying that a lot of the skilled pundit class thinks “I’m a contemporary gal” and “it’s older than me” are good causes for legalizing little one homicide.

CNN’s New Day
06/27/22
7:08:01 AM ETBRIANNA KEILAR: Let’s talk about this with CNN Anchors Laura Jarrett and Poppy Harlow, CNN Political Commentator S.E. Cupp, and Irin Carmon, Senior Correspondent at New York Journal. She’s additionally the co-author of Infamous RBG: the Life and Occasions of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Let’s simply begin broadly right here. How completely different, Laura, are ladies’s rights in America this morning?
LAURA JARRETT: Dramatically. Uh, dramatically immediately. Dramatically even earlier than. I imply, take into consideration the truth that Texas successfully banned abortion months in the past — um, and we’re right here proper now. Life as — as ladies realize it — um, has been dramatically modified from what we knew for the previous 50 years. I feel the query now could be actually all of the questions that you just outlined with Jeffrey Toobin is what comes subsequent.
And I feel the true battle that you just’re going to see play out is what occurs with medicated abortion, the 2 tablets that induce abortion — I imply, over half of girls on this nation who get an abortion are literally doing it by these two tablets proper now. The FDA has stated that they are protected, has stated that they are efficient, safer than Viagra. The Lawyer Common has stated, states, you can not ban these two tablets. And but states are going to attempt to ban them. So then what occurs?
JOHN BERMAN: Um — I feel the FDA stated you may’t ban them for security causes.
JARRETT: Sure.
BERMAN: Which can find yourself being the place the authorized crux of this problem is.
JARRETT: Nevertheless it’s an —
BERMAN: They will say, we’re not banning it for security causes, we’re banning them for different causes.
JARRETT: It is an unlimited loophole, although. If, in actual fact, Merrick Garland’s aspect on this, which he — he believes he has the argument right here, that the federal authorities has the final say, it preempts state regulation, as Poppy is aware of —
POPPY HARLOW: An enormous query.
JARRETT: So it’s a very massive query. But when you may get an abortion by two medicated tablets as much as ten weeks, that’s basically completely different than what states are doing proper now, which is making an attempt to ban abortion in the intervening time of fertilization.
BERMAN: S.E., once more, the query that Brianna is asking is the appropriate one, the kind of now what. What are — now that anti-abortion activists obtained what they wished, proper, which is to overturn Roe vs. Wade, what occurs now politically, do you suppose?
S.E. CUPP: It is exhausting to think about the Republican Occasion surviving this. Um — between anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ, ebook banning, anti-democracy — I imply, add all the aggressive bullshit — uh, rubbish, sorry, to this — I do not take that again — um, add all of it collectively and I do not know who’s left sooner or later — in future generations to be drawn to this get together.
When you look again at 2016, I feel individuals voted for Trump for a wide selection of causes, a few of them rubbish, however a few of them legitimately financial and even overseas coverage. I feel the individuals voting for extra Trump, extra MAGA now are actually motivated by only a few causes, and so there are fewer of them. And if you think about that I feel for the primary time, perhaps we must always ask Jeff Toobin, a technology will be capable of say my mother and father had a proper that I haven’t got at the moment. For the primary time a proper was taken again. Um — I can not think about how Republicans message to new voters and do not simply preserve shrinking and condensing.
IRIN CARMON: Could I soar in? I imply, I — I hear you on that however I feel that we’re — we can not take with no consideration {that a} youthful technology is not really cheering a backlash to the sort of progress that we noticed. All it’s a must to do is go on the web and go into the manosphere, go into males’s rights — uh, like —
CUPP: Positive.
CARMON: — there’s a profound dislocation due to the progress that sure teams have made, and that is seen — wrongly, I feel — as a zero-sum sport, whether or not it is progress for LGBTQ people, ladies and different individuals who can change into pregnant, controlling their replica, Black Lives Matter, Trump was elected on that backlash and I do not suppose that backlash has gone away, whilst they’ve completed some targets. There may be nonetheless this sense, in case you management somebody’s replica you management their life.
CUPP: Completely. However that view —
CARMON: And I imply there are some people who find themselves on board with that.
CUPP: — within the minority, in case you take a look at the spectrum of the place persons are on abortion, eight p.c of this nation desires a full ban. Eight p.c, that’s an excessive minority. Most individuals need authorized abortion — I depend myself on this class — authorized abortion with restrictions. And then you definately’ve obtained of us who need no restrictions, they’re additionally a minority. So, completely they’re there — consider me, I hear from them —
CARMON: Yeah.
CUPP — but it surely’s an more and more minority place.
CARMON: Nevertheless it’s a minority that is insulated from political accountability due to the system we now have.
CUPP: Yeah.
(…)
7:15:59 AM ET
BERMAN: You recognize, once more, I’m — eh, it’s, it’s — we’re waking up on a Monday morning right here with a unique nation than we wakened with on Friday and everybody I feel is making an attempt to determine learn how to navigate it now.
And, Poppy, you realize, you cowl enterprise and enterprise angles. So many various corporations are doing so many various issues right here.
HARLOW: Sure, so many. I imply, you guys in all probability have a graph. Like there’s a litany. Most — most I’d say — many of the actually massive — uh, corporations proper now are popping out from Starbucks, Goldman Sachs, Meta, Fb, Disney, and saying they are going to assist staff journey if they should, fund this, assist defend that. Some corporations will not be.
However I feel even past the businesses, the influence is totally on poor ladies, ladies with out means, who many will not be employed by these corporations. So — so then what? Which was additionally a warning from Justice Ginsburg. So, then what?
I imply, there is a nonpartisan examine two years outdated out of NBER, and the preliminary discovering stated that when ladies have entry to abortion — uh, and when it is taken away, when that entry is taken away, there’s a giant improve in monetary misery that’s sustained for years.
KEILAR: So then, S.E., what’s the accountability of those that help this?
CUPP: Yeah.
KEILAR: Proper? When you’re in Texas and there are 40,000 — I imply, there — there’s in all probability not going to be 40,000 infants born within the subsequent 12 months that may not have been born. I think about some ladies will go elsewhere and discover a place to have an abortion, however there could also be tens of hundreds of infants that there would not have been earlier than this. What’s the accountability of, say, Republican senators who usually do not need to vote for spending on social security internet — uh, objects that may defend the households and the infants that will want it?
CUPP: Properly, in some ways, it is too late. That ought to have been, you realize, a part of the plan right here, to have that in place. Um — the concept that we’ll have a military of police and prosecutors going out to spherical up ladies and docs and Uber drivers and whomever else is tangentially linked to that is medieval and draconian. And it is the accountability of our legislators each on the federal and state and native ranges to determine this out for us and never simply enable this sort of chaos and draconian — um, you realize, expertise to occur to us.
And Poppy is true, that is principally going to have an effect on poor and rural ladies who’ve restricted entry to every kind of well being care to start with. Um — so it is actually irresponsible of legislators — um, it isn’t the Supreme Court docket’s job to do that, however it’s the job of legislators to place in place some protections for what’s about to occur. Such as you stated, I imply, there are extra individuals alive at the moment who by no means lived in America with out Roe. It is older than I’m. Extra individuals have by no means identified it with out it. So, we have to supply for the fact of this.
Hear, I am — I’m pro-life, I sympathize with the pro-life place, however I am a contemporary gal. I perceive the need for this. For — for a lot of ladies, I do not choose that. And I’ve all the time accepted Roe because the regulation of the land as a result of it is older than me. It all the time has been. To make this monumental a shift in American cultural life and expertise, it’s our obligation to then clarify how life goes on at the moment, tomorrow, and the following 12 months.
