Twitter Is Clapping Back At Sarah Huckabee Sanders Over Her Roe V. Wade Comments
Politicians from both sides of the aisle have been sharing their feelings about the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The ruling overturns the 1973 court case that previously held that abortion was a constitutional right.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi shared her strong feelings at her weekly press conference, saying "There's no point in saying good morning because it certainly is not one." She went on to say that Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell and Former President Donald Trump "packed the court" to make the ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade possible. Donald Trump weighed in on the decision that returned the abortion debate to states, telling Fox News he believes the outcome "will work out for out for everybody."
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump's former White House Press Secretary and Republican candidate for Arkansas Governor, shared anti-abortion rhetoric on social media both before and after the ruling.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders sparked outrage saying a kid in the womb will be as safe as they are in the classroom
Even before the Supreme Court's ruling, Sarah Huckabee Sanders had been expressing her anti-abortion beliefs in controversial ways. A video from a May 2022 rally for the gubernatorial candidate resurfaced on Twitter following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The Trump-backed Republican maintained her anti-abortion stance.
"We will make sure that when a kid is in the womb, they're as safe as they are in a classroom, the workplace, a nursing home," Sanders said in the video. Her comments at the rally — held a day after the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, according to The Independent — angered many on social media.
"And what about the safety [of] a 10-year-old kid in a classroom?" one Twitter user asked.
"My daughter was murdered in her classroom. When @SarahHuckabee says 'We will make sure that when a kid is in the womb, they're as safe as they are in a classroom,' I take notice," Fred Guttenberg wrote on Twitter. "Sarah, your b******* is deadly to kids when they are born."
Sanders hasn't made a statement concerning the comparison on Twitter and didn't respond to Newsweek's request for a comment.
