CNN Anchor Confronts GOP Gov Over Abortion Ban With Example Of Pregnant 10-Year-Old Abuse Victim—It Did Not Go Well

\u201cDana Bash: Will the state of South Dakota going forward force a 10-year-old in that very same situation to have a baby? \n\nKristi Noem: In South Dakota, the law today is that abortions are illegal except to save the life of the mother.\n\n[that's a yes]\u201d

\u201c@atrupar This is what religious fanaticism looks like. \n\nIt's not always hijacking planes to fly into buildings or executing kneeling women in stadiums.\n\nhttps://t.co/4oL2nMzQl7\u201d

\u201cKristi Noem just said if a 10 year old girl is raped in South Dakota, she must carry her rapist\u2019s baby to term because \u201cevery life is precious.\u201d This is the GOP\u2019s official stance. Jamie Smith is the pro-choice Democrat running against Noem this November. Vote for @RepJamieSmith.\u201d

\u201c@atrupar The saddest part about this is we will see more cases of children being forced to give birth in red states because their Governor\u2019s agenda doesn\u2019t include protection of actual life. Gov Noem twisted herself in knots attempting to avoid the question everyone must answer.\u201d

\u201cI cannot to stand to watch one more second of Kristi Noem on Dana Bash's show saying a 10 year rape victim should be forced to carry to term. How the f does she sleep at night??\u201d

\u201c@atrupar Noem constantly tried to avoid answering questions on what she actually believes, deflecting to future conversations w the legislature. \n\nShe outright refused on some points.\n\nIf you\u2019re the leader of a state government you don\u2019t get to refuse to disclose your plans.\u201d

\u201cKristi Noem to 10-year-old girls who become pregnant after being raped:\n\n\u201cPull yourself up by your Velcro shoes and raise that baby, crybaby!\u201d\n\nThe Republican Party is disgusting.\u201d

\u201cKristi Noem says abortion is illegal in South Dakota except to save the life of the mother. But forcing a 10 year old to birth her rapists child isn\u2019t destroying her life\u2026?\u201d

\u201cKristi Noem thinks that a 10 year old does not have a right to an abortion because she was raped. She is advocated for the 10 year old to carry the baby. This women is really sick in the head. What the hell South Dakota?\u201d

\u201cThe GOP wants to force a 10-year-old-girl to give birth.\n\nThey have lost their fucking minds.\n\nThat includes Kristi Noem, who lost it some time ago.\u201d

\u201cKristi Noem and her lip service double talk deflection regarding a 10 year old rape victim being forced to carry a baby is disgusting. Her \u2018the law is the law\u2019 bullshit should be alarming to everyone. Absolutely vile.\u201d
