Melissa Harris-Perry Panelist: The Right Needs to Stop ‘Sacralizing Sperm’

Melissa Harris-Perry Panelist: The Right Needs to Stop ‘Sacralizing Sperm’ (Mediaite)

During a discussion Saturday about abortion on Melissa Harris-Perry, panelist Anthea Butler made a rather striking comment about conservative views on abortion and contraception, saying that the right needs to stop “sacriaizing sperm” and treating it like it’s so important and can’t afford to be wasted.

She found it somewhat illogical that conservatives are so concerned about bringing babies in the world, only to turn around and not “give a damn” about taking care of them after they’re born. Lizz Winstead agreed, adding that anyone who doesn’t understand basic medical science or thinks they can stop abortions by limiting access to birth control needs to stop weighing in altogether.
