Witness Beautifully Slams Door On GOP Senator's Loaded Abortion Question
HuffPost
Jocelyn Frye of the National Partnership for Women & Families put Sen. John Kennedy in his place at a hearing.
A witness at an abortion-rights hearing expertly rebuffed an inflammatory question from Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) on Wednesday. (Watch the video below.)
At a Senate subcommittee hearing that focused on interstate travel for abortions as more states restrict the procedure, Kennedy mentioned a woman who supposedly asked for an abortion in her 34th week of pregnancy.
“Should the mother at that juncture have the right — clearly a viable child — to abort the child?” Kennedy asked one witness, who said he didn’t want to engage in hypotheticals.
“That’s what your side always says,” Kennedy sneered. “My example’s not unrealistic. I wanna save my time. If your answer’s gonna be, ‘That never happens,’ let me go to Ms. Frye. What do you think?”
Jocelyn Frye, the president of the National Partnership for Women & Families, gave Kennedy a forceful response that refused to indulge right-wing fearmongering about extremely late procedures.
