For some reason, Greene has never said the same thing about male politicians
Like many of her GOP colleagues, Marjorie Taylor Greene is an antiabortion zealot who does not believe that pregnant people should get to decide what they can and cannot do with their own bodies. Something else she apparently believes? That if you’re over childbearing age, you don’t have the right to weigh in on reproductive rights and advocate for the people currently being harmed by the Republican Party.
During a call-in show on Monday night, Greene was confronted by a woman who told her, “My body is my body and I don’t want the government telling me what I can do with my body.” Based on her voice alone, the caller sounded like she might be elderly and while her age is obviously not relevant, Greene insisted it was. “Ma’am, are you having children any time soon?” she asked, not pausing for an answer. “That’s my question, I’m asking a legitimate question.” She then went on to insist that “abortion is murder” before circling back to her premise that the caller should not get to express her opinion because she possibly no longer ovulates. “I don’t think you’re having children any time soon,” Greene said. “So I appreciate your interest in women’s rights but killing an unborn baby is not a woman’s right and that’s not health care.”
After the caller appeared to reference the 10-year-old who was raped in Ohio and had to go out of state to get an abortion, Greene told her: “That is a very rare, rare, rare occasion so that should not be the entire premise of the argument on abortion. Again ma’am, I know you say it’s your body your choice but I don’t think you’re having any children any time soon and I think we need to focus on the future of America and that’s our children…and the unborn, they’re our future also. So let’s focus on protecting their lives instead of being focused on the lie that abortion is women’s health care because that’s not health care.”
Interestingly Greene has never suggested that the male politicians who have restricted abortion access and want to pass a national abortion ban, who also will not be “having children any time soon,” shouldn’t be allowed to weigh in here.
