Stephen A. Smith Believes In 'Live And Let Live'—Unborn Children Excluded
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

On CNN's State of the Union, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith repeatedly described himself as a centrist and moderate.

But at one point, Smith said:

"I'm socially liberal. I'm liberal when it comes to social issues. Pretty much across the board. I believe in living and let living."

Smith didn't specifically say that he supported abortion rights. But if someone is liberal "across the board" on social issues, the issue at the top of the board would surely be abortion.

The irony--or hypocrisy--of Smith claiming "I believe in living and let living" is glaring.

When it comes to unborn children, Smith's theme could be Paul McCartney's title song from the James Bond movie—"Live and Let Die."

Because nothing says “live and let live” like letting unborn children die.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

“Centrist”... “Moderate”...

That says it all...
It is political speak for “weasel”, “RINO”, and “globalist”...

I believe motor mouth is on the record as personally opposed to abortion, but will not dictate to a woman what she does with her body.

So he’s trying to have it both ways.

But he can’t, he is for feticide which common sense would say is a euphemism for infanticide.

“ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith repeatedly described himself as a centrist and moderate.” Stephen, are you ever going to actually learn anything about sports reporting?

Stephen Smith is no friend to the right. You can’t be half whacked out liberal and half conservative. It just don’t work that way. Smith’s positions change for whatever group he’s speaking to.

I have always disliked him, even when he was occasionally right about some thing. He is the epitome of the stopped clock.

(on social issues, the issue at the top of the board would surely be abortion.)

(an abortion worker’s vehicle bearing a bumper sticker that reads, “Murder is my hobby.”

(Abortion)

Democrat Joe Biden gave a medal 🥇 of freedom
to Cecile Richards in 2024, who made her money
terminating the lives of other human beings.

How very Democrat of them.

He’s an admitted liberal on the social issues. He said so. He’s trying to thread the needle, to say he’s conservative on taxes and money/economic issues, while trying to appeal to liberals on the social issues.
