During a speech this week, Tucker Carlson said that biblically, abortion is not a natural human function, but rather an evil sacrifice introduced in our culture.
QUICK FACTS:
- Former Fox host Tucker Carlson claimed this week that abortion was part of a “human sacrifice,” experienced from the beginning of human time.
- “The killing of children is the one constant in human civilization,” Carlson explained in his speech to Ohio’s Center for Christian Virtue in the Buckeye State.
- The journalist continued by saying abortion was not a “natural human function,” but an idea that was introduced into our culture.
- “Outside forces are acting on people at all times throughout history in every culture on the planet, to convince people that if they sacrifice their children, they will be happy and safe,” he said.
- Carlson argued the issue of abortion is not a political debate, but rather a spiritual battle.
- “This is a religious right. This is not a policy debate. Now they’re saying, ‘Abortion is itself a pathway to joy.’ This is not a political debate. This is a spiritual battle. There is no other conclusion,” he said.
- Carlson added that the point of life is to have children and that anyone saying otherwise should be considered an “enemy.”
- “Nothing will bring you joy like that will. Nothing comes close!” he said to the crowd about having children. “Would you trade your job for your children? Would you trade anything for your children? Of course not!”
TUCKER CARLSON ON BRINGING LIFE INTO THE WORLD:
“The point of life is to have children, and to watch them have grandchildren. Nothing will bring you joy like that will. Nothing comes close!” Carlson said.
BACKGROUND:
- In April 2023, Carlson was fired from his role at Fox News, one of its highest-rated hosts, who had become an influential voice for conservatives over the past few years.
- At the time, his biographer, Chadwick Moore, shared why the former Fox News host was booted from the network.
- According to Moore, Carlson was let go from the network as a condition of the settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.
- Moore appeared on Nexsmax with “The Balance” host Eric Bolling, claiming that Fox also desperately didn’t want owner Rupert Murdoch to testify in court.
- “Although Fox felt that they would win the trial with Dominion, they didn’t want Rupert Murdoch to testify. This is what I’m told,” Moore told Bolling. “And as a condition with the settlement, hours before they were supposed to go to trial, they reached this agreement to pull him off the air.”
- Although Moore said Dominion has “denied” the allegations, he claims his sources at Fox “are sure it is the reason.”
- The author said that whoever wanted Tucker off-air wanted him to stay silent until after the next election.
- “I was working closely with Tucker when he was taken off the air by Fox. And as some of you know, I was also a regular on his show. And I happened to be a guest on the final episode of the show, which was on April 21st,” Moore continued. “I’ve also seen the monologue that Tucker planned to deliver on Monday, April 24th, before his show was abruptly taken off the air. That monologue dealt with, among other things, investigations around January 6th, and particularly Ray Epps, the only person captured on video inciting people to violence at the Capitol that day, and allegedly an FBI informant who still has not been arrested or charged.”
