Cawthorn Calls Women 'Earthen Vessels' in Bonkers Anti-Abortion Rant on House Floor

Cawthorn Calls Women 'Earthen Vessels' in Bonkers Anti-Abortion Rant on House Floor
C-SPAN

Far-right Congressman Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina has repeatedly promoted Christian fascist sentiments to his constituents and to the media.

The 26 year old freshman representative has urged Christians to "take our country back" amid what he believes is a "spiritual battle." He's repeatedly referred to the Capitol insurrectionists as "political prisoners." He's foreseen "bloodshed" if elections continue to be "stolen."


And this past week, following the Supreme Court's oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Center that may result in the overthrow of Roe v. Wade, Cawthorn delivered a House floor speech encapsulating what he sees as the purpose of women and anyone else with a uterus.

Watch below.

In the speech advocating for forced birth imposed by the government, Cawthorn said:

"Madame Speaker, a silent genocide has slipped beneath the conscience of America. Precious works of our creator formed and set apart meet death before they breathe life. Eternal souls, woven into earthen vessels, sanctified by Almighty God, and endowed with the miracle of life are denied their birth by a nation born of freedom. God's breath of life blown away by the breath of man."

Social media users found the diatribe incredibly disturbing.






The description of birthing people as "earthen vessels" was especially denounced.



Chilling.

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
