‘Women Will Die’ Raddatz & Moran Rage Over Abortion Decision

Holding back tears and barely able to contain her rage, co-anchor Martha Raddatz opened Sunday’s edition of ABC’s This Week by lashing out at the Supreme Court’s landmark decision overturning Roe v. Wade 

“On Friday morning, women in this country like they have for nearly 50 years, woke up with a constitutional right to abortion, a right enshrined by the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision in Roe V. WadeIt was affirmed over and over again. But just after 10:00 A.M. On Friday a legal earthquake, the court stripping women of that fundamental right” Raddatz wailed, falsely claiming there was ever a constitutional right to abortion. 

She then repeated the false claim that this was the “first time an individual right of this magnitude set in decades of precedent has been taken away.” 

Raddatz then mentioned the mobs of pro-abortion leftists who have taken to the streets, but failed to report on some of the violence that has taken place: “since the announcement, abortion rights activists have swarmed the court and launched protests across the country alongside anti-abortion rights groups celebrating a landmark legal and political victory decades in the making.” 

Continuing her hissyfit, Raddatz huffed that “Abortion is now a matter for the states and congress, a decision for voters and their elected leaders rather than between a woman and her doctor.” 

Terry Moran says, “This is one of the most important supreme court decisions in many decades.” This ruling will change the status of American women citizens… Already, we have an unacceptable rate of maternal death …” pic.twitter.com/9IiZlUAK7P

After her meltdown was over, she turned to senior national correspondent Terry Moran who proceeded to freak out over the decision and make numerous false statements like women become second class citizens: “It changes the status of American women as citizens of the United States and as citizens of their states.”

Moran also falsely claimed that “women will die because of this ruling.” Moran acts like women haven’t already been dying under Roe. Abortions are a common cause of death for women. Moran is not willing to speak about it, as are many leftist media. 

NPR featured a story in 2015 about an abortion facility, but it didn’t mention that the 22-year-old victim died of complications from her abortion.

MARTHA RADDATZ Roe V. WadeIt was reaffirmed over and over again. After 10:00 AM on Friday, there was a legal shakeup. In a 6-3 ruling, the court stripped women of this fundamental right. Its conservative majority upheld Mississippi’s ban on abortion within 15 weeks. However, five justices decided to take it further and overturn Roe V. Wade. It is the first instance of a sweeping revocation of a fundamental right that has existed for decades. 

Abortion rights activists and anti-abortion groups have joined forces with the courts to celebrate the landmark legal and political win that was announced. The issue of abortion is now the matter of states and Congress. It’s a matter that voters can make and they will vote on it. This decision took immediate effect. The decision took immediate effect. Eighteen states now make abortion illegal. Seven additional states also have so-called trigger legislation that went into effect immediately after Roe was overturned. In the next weeks and months, 26 states will ban abortion or restrict it severely. Only 16 states, plus Washington, D.C., have abortion-care access laws. 

Biden said Friday’s ruling was a bad day for both the court and the country. The president also discussed the next steps that the administration would take following the decision. It’s clear, however, that there is a new period in Supreme Court history. While the Supreme Court is still divided along partisan lines, this will ensure the Supreme Court is at the heart of any election campaign to be held in November.

RADDATZ : Although the shock may have been mitigated by the May leakage of the draft opinions, you can’t overstate how significant and important this will be. 

TERRY MORAN : Martha, this Supreme Court decision is one of the most important in many decades. This changes American women’s status as citizens in the United States as well as their citizenship rights. The big picture. But let’s not mince words, women will die because of this ruling. There is already a shocking rate of maternal deaths in the United States. Now, many doctors will be asking themselves if there are any serious complications or a placenta that is not in its best interest, whether the local prosecutor will find my patient in sufficient danger to allow me to do what I consider to be a medically necessary abortion. In 11 other states, Florida and Texas, the state government can take control of women who have been raped, or are incest victims, and force them to give birth to the child or baby of their rapist. It is an entirely different world in America for women.
