    “I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally,” Vance said in the episode, explaining why regulating abortion at the state level wouldn’t work. “Let’s say Roe v. Wade is overruled,” he said. “Ohio bans abortion … you know, in let’s say 2024. And then, every day, George Soros sends a 747 to Columbus to load up disproportionately black women to get them to go have abortions in California. And of course, the left will celebrate this as a victory for diversity.”

    J.D., abortion is legal in Ohio because voters put it on the ballot as a citizen lead imitative. We got reproductive freedom (including abortion) written into our goddamn State Constitution because our republican “representatives” continuously refused to listen to the will of the people.

    Wait. Don’t they hate black people? Why would they want more around if that were so. None of this makes sense. “I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!!”

    in the Grossest Way Possible

    For those that don’t want to click through:

    “I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally,” […]

    “Let’s say Roe v. Wade is overruled,” he said. “Ohio bans abortion … you know, in let’s say 2024. And then, every day, George Soros sends a 747 to Columbus to load up disproportionately black women to get them to go have abortions in California.

      Woooow. That’s just unbelievably stupid. What’s even more depressing is that people actually fall for this shit.

    The grossest way possible? I don’t see what he’s saying here that’s outside the norm for the pro-life side. Black women have abortions at approximately 4.5 times the rate of white women. If you believe allowing abortion is harmful, then such harm happens disproportionately often to black people.

    (A similar argument can be made if you believe that banning abortion is harmful. Either way, black people are more affected.)

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Vance sat down with Aimee Terese — a pundit and podcaster little known to the American public, but prominent in the sloppy trenches of hyper-online digital reactionaries — and removed his filter.

    And then, every day, George Soros sends a 747 to Columbus to load up disproportionately black women to get them to go have abortions in California.

    The news that came out of Ohio after Roe was overturned and the state banned the procedure wasn’t George Soros loading up 747s in Columbus to transport women to California for abortions.

    No, the national news story out of Ohio was about a 10-year-old girl who had to travel to Indiana for an abortion, after she was raped by her mother’s boyfriend.

    Last year, after Ohio voters enshrined the right to abortion access in the state’s constitution through a ballot referendum, Vance was distraught.

    “There is something sociopathic about a political movement that tells young women (and men) that it is liberating to murder their own children,” he added.
