“Abortion in this country is not about protecting the lives of mothers. It’s about killing a child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down.”
Wow! Leave it to North Carolina to make my red state’s controlled Governor and legislature come out looking positively progressive when they are far from it.
So murderers can just admit to murder and face no consequences wtf
There’s a great ad against him about this with clips from his live stream when he said it. At the end of the ad, he says “your body is not yours!” if that tells you anything of what conservatives believe.
To be fair to these weirdos, it’s not all that obvious that they’re opposed to murder.
"It’s about killing a child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down.”
He even managed to take the typical, puritanical “keep your pants on” or “keep it in your pants” and turn that around to specifically slut-shame women. Great guy.
“I can remember this as a young man, when we were arguing about whether or not we should be required to wear seat belts, or if we should wear seat belts,” Robinson continues. “And I can always remember there’d be one person to say, ‘Well, what if I get stuck on a railroad tracks and my seat belt won’t come off?’ Number one, if you are stuck on the train tracks, that is Darwin. That’s not any of my concern. That is Darwin. You saw those train tracks. If you couldn’t get past them, I cannot help you.”
He concludes: “That is not a good argument, see, because in this country, we’re not talking about a bunch of people who go down to the abortion place because they’ve been raped or because they’ve been a victim of incest. We’re talking about a culture that we have created in this society that tells you when you want to feel good, go in there and go lay down and do your thing. If you get in a little trouble, it’s alright to murder somebody to get out of it. It is not — it is not okay.”
First off, this is some sort of logical fallacy here - straw man maybe?
Secondly, isn’t wearing a seatbelt now something that conservatives are railing against again?
So turn yourself in already.
Couldn’t help but notice that at no point is he quoted as saying his abortion was the wrong decision and that he wouldn’t do it again…
Because they don’t see it as right or wrong. Moral justifications are for the slaves, not the masters.
The population of serfs has to keep growing to keep the wealth extraction gravy train running on time.
For the wealthy, an abortion is the small expense of 1 chartered jet ride to Europe. Call it a weekend vacation.
Or the reason. Surely a man who says abortions are because a woman can’t “keep her skirt down” only did it because his wife was in danger, was raped, or the fetus wasn’t viable and not out of convenience or family planning right?
Two and a half decades later and still just as relevant as ever.
It’ll never stop being relevant and true
I knew it would link to The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion, a classic.
This seems to be typical for these weirdos.

Graçias! Or rather, merci!
“Let’s say I was the governor, I had a willing legislature, we could pass a bill saying you can’t have an abortion in North Carolina for any reason,” he says in one clip. In another, Robinson says, “For me there is no compromise on abortion, it makes no difference to me why or how that child ended up in that womb.” Elsewhere, he says: “Abortion in this country is not about protecting the lives of mothers. It’s about killing a child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down.”
He said that “if I’m a person who is seen as an individual who’s standing on a stage pointing down at a young woman saying, ‘You can’t have an abortion,’ that is not the right approach.” Instead, he said, “The right approach is to come down off the stage, embrace that young woman, and tell them about the reasons why I believe she should choose life, and then ultimately leaving it up to her based on the laws that we have on the books. That’s the reason why we put that commercial out, and the reason why I was willing to do it. Because we feel like that this is an issue of the heart. And if we’re going to ‘win on this issue,’ we’re going to win people over on this issue, we’ve got to show people that we care. Because we’ve got to show them how deeply it affects people.”
How can I trust that you’ve changed your view and not just your campaign strategy? Because this dude has previously stated he wants no abortion for any reason. Watch out for the wolf in sheep’s clothing!
ultimately leaving it up to her based on the laws that we have on the books
That’s not leaving it up to her you goddamn weasel! Leaving it up to her would mean not making fucking laws about it!
He’s not a wolf in sheep’s clothing, just a wolf who talks out of both sides of this mouth.
See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody’s couch like it’s something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense than that.
Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie’s couch.
What a massive hypocrite.
