MSNBC Host Says Late-Term Abortion Ban Is Not ‘Pro-Life’ but ‘Forced Birth’

MSNBC's Joy Reid On Abortion Opponents: "This Isn't Pro-Life; This Is Forced Birth" (RealClearPolitics)

"Republicans face a tremendous deficit with women voters. And so they keep putting on this spectacle over and over and over again," MSNBC contributor Joy Reid said about the House GOP's latest push for pro-life bills.

"They're obsessed with this idea of making women -- this isn't pro-life; this is forced birth. They are obsessed with this notion of shaming, compelling, coercing, whatever they have to do to make women give birth. It's bizarre, but it is what they are about. Most of the legislation that these members of the House of Representatives, mostly all men have put forward have been about abortion," Reid told network anchor Martin Bashir on Tuesday.
