MSNBC Devoted 15 Minutes of Promos to Abortion ‘Heroes’ Film on HBO

MSNBC awarded 15 minutes of promotional time on Friday and Saturday to a new movie glorifying “female heroes of history” who committed an estimated 10,000 illegal abortions in Chicago in the five years before Roe vs. Wade 1973 was the year that abortion became legal. Janes On Wednesday, the show will air on HBO.

Andrea Mitchell touted these women providing underground “access to Abortion safe.” Co-director Emma Pildes said “we so often don’t hear about the Female heroes in history Those stories don’t get told. We saw this as an opportunity to provide these women with a platform. We’re filmmakers. This is what we have to contribute to the fight.”

She insisted “These are Women with deep moral values who wanted to save people’s lives and could testify to what this country looked like last time women’s bodily autonomy — they didn’t have their own bodily autonomy, and they didn’t have the right to choose.”

Feminists can be sarcastic about safe abortions that save lives, as though it does not matter that the baby becomes uninsured with no life.

Mitchell continued this rhetoric as she asked Tia Lessin, the co-director of the film, what message she wanted people to take away.

LESSIN: As Emma stated, we hope people get an idea of the past before federal abortion protection and that they understand this — it is our future. You also know that iMany people may face death sentences if they aren’t able to afford or get safe legal abortion care. We know that abortion can be criminalized but it does not mean women cannot have an abortion. They don’t have the right to abortion. Safe abortions We hope this movie is both a warning tale and an encouragement to people to understand what’s at stake and mobilize for change.

The Janes were the ones responsible for 10,000 death sentences. But they are also “heroes”.

It was more of the same on Saturday, as Ali Velshi began and ended his seven-minute interview by gushing “thank you for making this” on his Saturday program. Ali Velshi said that it was an “exceptional film at a wonderful time.”

Once again, Pildes said the women were “smart, Human beings who are deeply moral that put all of their smarts to test here….They want to save women’s lives at any cost. “

Lessin stated that today’s situation is more “draconian” than it was in the past.RoeAt the same time, women could be prosecuted for leaving the state to undergo a procedure.

Then Velshi claimed “The criminalization of abortion, which is what your film brings to light, I think this feels like a bridge too far, probably even for people who have conservative views on things.”
