Long Island Republican Stands By Comments Comparing Abortion To Slavery

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republican congressional candidate George Santos has refused to walk back comments calling abortion a "barbaric" practice comparable to "slavery."

Amid a public backlash to the Supreme Court’s June decision overturning Roe v. Wade, some Republican congressional candidates have tried to walk back, downplay or conceal their hardline stances against abortion rights.

But George Santos, the Republican nominee in a Long Island House seat that President Joe Biden won, is one contender sticking to his staunch anti-abortion views — and remarks comparing abortion to, among other things, slavery.

As a candidate challenging Rep. Tom Suozzi (D) in New York’s 3rd Congressional District in 2020, Santos declared his opposition to the 1973 Supreme Court decision recognizing a Constitutional right to an abortion. He said he would vote to ban abortion nationwide if elected to Congress. He even supports criminal charges for doctors who perform abortions, according to local news outlet The Island Now.

if they did, they sure would not use "slavery and abortion" in the same sentence.
