Last election cycle, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel brought on his wife to sound a literal alarm that people need to vote for Democrats in order to save abortion. On Tuesday, he invited Vice President Kamala Harris to do the same. Throughout, Kimmel would put the ball on the tee for Harris while she would compare pro-lifers to molesters and slavers.
Kimmel began with the softest possible question, “I want to start with reproductive rights. You’re for them, yes?”
After Harris affirmed she does support abortion, Kimmel continued, “They are being threatened. I mean, not just threatened, but you know, Roe v. Wade, we know what happened with the Supreme Court. It is—is this something that you ever imagined would happen in your lifetime?”
Harris replied, “Absolutely not” and proceeded to launch into stump speech mode, “Understand who is to blame. The former president, Donald Trump, hand-picked three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade and they did as he intended. And after that, in state after state, laws have been passed to criminalize doctors and nurses. There’s a state that provides for prison for life for a doctor administering care.”
She also compared pro-lifers to molesters:
People know I started my career as a prosecutor. You may not know why. One of the reasons is my best friend in high school, I learned was being molested by her stepfather. So, she came to live with us. And I decided at a young age, I wanted to do the work of fighting to protect women and children from harm. And the idea that these laws would make no exception even for a survivor of a violation to their body? And to tell that woman, that person, you don’t have a right to make a decision about what happens to your body next? It’s immoral.
Kimmel then took the fearmongering up a notch, “And to add on that, additionally, I think we’re very focused on abortion, but this is— certainly affects birth control as well, contraception. I don’t think most people know that. I don’t think people are thinking about that. About the fact that they very well might not be able to get birth control in the states they live in.”
Harris was happy to play along, “, in that decision that undid the protections of Roe, Clarence Thomas said the quiet part out loud, that contraception could very much be at risk. And it is at risk and let’s understand moving forward, not only is that at risk, look at IVF and what has happened and how clinics have closed because of fear that they may be violating the law to provide IVF treatment.”
Nobody has ever questioned Democrats on how their logic in supporting IVF is irreconcilable with their support for abortion and Kimmel certainly wasn’t going to be the first. Instead, he stuck with the contraception fearmongering, “Do you think there’s a fundamental flaw in our system when a body like the Supreme Court can make a decision that is so unpopular with Americans, and still the vast majority of Americans certainly believe in a woman’s right to choose, especially — I think it’s 88 percent support access to contraception.”
If Kimmel broke the fearmongering scale, Harris broke the analogy scale by reverting to abortion, “Well we, in our history, we know, I mean look at the Dred Scott decision. This is not the first time that we know the Court can make decisions that violate the civil rights of the people.”
Dred Scott ruled that some people are property and therefore have no rights. That does sound familiar, just not the way Kimmel and Harris think.
