SPLC president asked if pro-lifers are white supremacists — his response says it all
The organization previously linked abortion restrictions to white supremacy.
A congressional hearing took a tense turn when Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) challenged Southern Poverty Law Center President Bryan Fair over the organization's claim that abortion restrictions are tied to white supremacy.
“Your organization said that restricting and banning abortion is a tool that the far right uses to maintain white supremacy,” Gill began, asking Fair, “Do you believe that pro-lifers are white supremacists?”
After Fair dodged the question several times, Gill asked again, “I don’t think that pro-lifers are white supremacists; do you?”
“What I think is that reproductive liberty is a right that every woman should enjoy,” Fair answered, still dodging the question.
....
“How many babies in the United States that are aborted are black?” Gill asked, answering himself, “About 40% of abortions nationwide are of black babies. Blacks represent about 13% of the population. Does that sound like something a white supremacist would oppose?”
