Meyers, Mika Claim Voting Democrat Is ‘Matter of Life and Death’
MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski and NBC’s Seth Meyers joined forces on Thursday’s taping of Late Night to scare viewers into believing that the election is “a matter of life and death” for women.
Meyers began with an open-ended question, “And here you are in the final days. How are you processing it all?”
Brzezinski immediately launched into abortion activism, “I think women and the men who get it will be the beacon of hope this election. I think what I’m feeling is, I’m just working as hard as I can to tell the stories of what the consequences of a second Trump presidency would be and it comes down to women because women are already suffering.
She added, “He thought women should be punished, and let me tell you, they are being punished in the most dreadful, horrific ways. There are women who are going through unbelievable medical traumas because of reproductive emergencies, and also women with other health care issues that involve the reproductive organs who cannot get the health care, lifesaving health care that they need and they’re dying, or they’re having to prove they’re dying enough to get care, or they’re being forced to bring unviable pregnancies to term to have a baby that will suffer and die in their arms and then live with that.”
Brzezinski also claimed, “Trump’s abortion bans keep the hospitals from providing it [life-saving care]. That’s sick. That’s Trump’s America for women and it’s here and it’s a nightmare.
Meyers responded by declaring, “You framed it, quite accurately, may I say, as a matter of life and death.”
Where do we even begin with this melodramatic charade by Mika Brzezinski? Let’s dive into the cesspool of fear-mongering and emotional manipulation, shall we?
First off, Mika, did you miss the memo or are you just selectively blind to the fact that the vast majority of abortion laws, even the ones you find so ghastly, include exceptions for the life and health of the mother? But no, let’s not let facts get in the way of a good panic attack.
You paint a picture so bleak, that one would think women are dropping dead in the streets because they can’t get an abortion. But here’s a reality check: hospitals aren’t turning away women in life-threatening situations. Doctors are still bound by the Hippocratic Oath, not by whatever political narrative you’re spinning.
“Unbelievable medical traumas”? Please, spare us the theatrics. The real trauma here is the blatant misinformation you’re spewing. You’re not just bending the truth; you’re contorting it into a grotesque ballet of lies for ratings and political points.
And let’s address the “punishment” narrative. If Trump thought women should be punished for abortion, it’s because he was pandering to his base, not because he’s some puppet master pulling the strings of every doctor in America. But you, Mika, with your platform, you’re the one truly punishing women—by feeding them fear instead of facts.
Forced to bring unviable pregnancies to term? Last time I checked, the medical community, not politicians, makes those decisions based on viability and health. But in your world, every doctor is apparently a malicious puppet of conservative policy, ready to force women into some dystopian nightmare for… what? Political sport?
Here’s a novel idea, Mika: how about you step down from your high horse of hysteria and actually engage with the nuanced realities of law, medicine, and ethics? But that wouldn’t fit your narrative, would it? No, it’s better to scream “life and death” and watch the ratings soar as you scare the living daylights out of your audience.
In the end, your message isn’t about women’s health or rights; it’s about manufacturing consent through fear, about painting the opposition as some cartoonish villains. And to that, all I can say is, Mika, if the shoe fits, wear it. But maybe next time, try not to step in the manure of your own making.
