A guest on Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, Goodwin, a constitutional law professor at Georgetown, somehow managed to make a connection between post-Dobbs laws limiting abortions and slavery and Jim Crow laws, specifically including those restricting the ability of African-Americans to play checkers and chess.
Co-host Michael Steele—who surely professed pro-life views back when he was running for and serving as RNC Chairman—teed up Goodwin, saying that the driving force behind the new laws is a Republican desire to control women.
Goodwin took that a giant step further, claiming that "cruelty is the point behind all of this. I've been saying, this is the new Jane Crow."
Noting that it was Mississippi that brought the Dobbs case, Goodwin noted:
"This is the Mississippi that placed black women in slavery. That denied them the opportunity to vote. That restricted them and their children from walking in parks. Playing in swimming pools. Even being able to play checkers, and chess, and billiards. Actually written into law . . . This is taking playbook, pages of playbooks, from back pre-slavery. We really must understand and connect the old thread to the new. What was old is new again."

I think abortion laws aren’t Republican; they’re God laws.
Agree and they miss burning crosses working on bringing it back with the help of the MSM.
Abortion is Margaret Sanger’s way of eradicating the black race.
