Rachel Maddow never ceases to amaze her legions of fans when it comes shining a discerning light onto politics as it pertains to our LGBT rights. The guests she frequently entertains on her show, MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, are no exception. Recently, Maddow courted Princeton professor and MSNBC Contributor Melissa Harris-Lacewell in a discussion that has the world talking this morning.
Harris-Lacewell passionately declared, “Let’s be completely clear about the facts here. There is no place in the world and no time in history where restricting women’s reproductive rights make a people or a nation more free or more equal. These extreme positions on abortion are without any question a war on American girls and women.”
Maddow concurred, saying, “We now have at least five Republican Senate candidates on the record espousing this view of no exceptions to a nationwide abortion ban, even in cases of rape or incest. This is—the reason I say that I‘m stunned by this not getting more attention, is this is unprecedented to have this many real anti-abortion radicals running for national office at this high a level.”
