Wisconsin State Rep. Francesca Hong was ridiculed after calling women “birthing bodies” in a tweet following the news of an alleged Supreme Court overturn of Roe v. Wade.
QUICK FACTS:
- “Birthing bodies have the right to freedom,” Hong tweeted Monday following the news of the Supreme Court leak.
- “Deciding if or when to become a parent is one of the most personal, life-changing decisions,” she said. “Access to abortion & reproductive care is a decision we must trust each person to make based on what’s best for their health & their future.”
PODCAST HOST BEN SHAPIRO ON THE STATE REP’S REMARKS:
“Birthing bodies.’ But presumably not pre-born bodies. These ridiculous people,” said Shapiro.
BACKGROUND:
- Hong, who won a seat in the state legislature in 2020 is the first Asian-American lawmaker in Wisconsin.
- Critics of Hong took to Twitter, calling out the hypocrisy of her views.
- “If you can’t use the word woman, you’re not in any position to defend women’s rights,” one user said.
