During Wednesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that centered on abortion bans and the implications for interstate travel, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) failed spectacularly when he tried to push the ridiculous Republican talking point that late-term abortions are a common occurrence. GOP fearmongering on abortion is debunked by Joy Reid's expert guests.

    Incredibly disrespectful to women..... just described the ENTIRE GOP!!!
  • @kishamceady1359
    She shut him down with so much class and respect. Wow👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
  • @ron4640
    Go, Ladies. Keep fighting this nonsense that should not even exist. VOTE BLUE
  • Not only is "Senator" Kennedy's attitude insulting to women, it is highly insulting to the medical professionals who are doing their best to provide high quality medical care to those same women. Kennedy is an insult to the whole country.
  • @81654
    Kennedy is beyond ignorant and lacks morals. Listening to him talk is appalling
  • Why republican women are so quiet knowing that their husbands are lying about late term abortion ? that 's disgusting!
  • FINALLY, Senator Kennedy’s ridiculous question is called out for its disrespectful, disingenuous premise. Every time I hear Senator Kennedy ask this question I hoped someone would push his narrative back and expose it for its fear mongering basis. For too long it has been his “gotcha” line of questioning.
  • @jennywilcox
    They really need to push the point that abortions that occur that late is usually because the fetus has died or will not live. It is NOT a choice by the mother.
  • @niclewis9610
    All nine Republican Senators up for reelection this year voted against the Right to IVF Act. So much for the party of Freedoms.
  • @niclewis9610
    Kennedy thinks he and Government has the right to dictate to women and their families. Vote D to protect Reproductive healthcare rights because it's not just abortion. It's IVF and access to contraception.
  • No pregnancy is guaranteed to end with a healthy baby and mother. You simply cannot force someone to take risks that they are unwillingly to take. Yet that's what Republicans are trying to do.
  • Sorry... Have to write about this.. Looking and listening to this Kennedy gives me the creep.
  • @johndowner2196
    Senator Kennedy always seems to be getting off on his grotesque descriptively gruesome rhetoric
  • @island656
    Disrespect…. Second class citizens… lower paid… victims of violence…de humanized. Women in the usa
