On Wednesday, Hirono spoke on the Senate floor about Sen. Lindsey Graham’s, R-S.C., latest bill proposal to ban abortions after 15 weeks. The bill includes several exceptions, including for rape, incest and when a woman's life is in danger from a pregnancy. It also explicitly bans the prosecution of women seeking abortions. She, along with other Democratic senators, vehemently opposed the legislation for pushing an "extreme MAGA Republican" agenda.
"Talk about government overreach. When I hear my colleagues talking about how it should be states’ rights or government should not be telling us what to do, the word ‘hypocrites,’ it doesn’t even go far enough to call them out on what they’re doing. This is an outright attack on women in this country. That is how I see it," she said.
She concluded her speech by issuing a "call to arms" in response to pro-life legislation.
Hirono added, "That is how more and more women and those who support our right to make decisions about our own bodies, that is how we see it. And why? Because that’s what’s happening. Madam President, I yield the floor. But clearly, this is a — literally call to arms in our country. I yield the floor."
These comments faced intense backlash for pushing more inflammatory rhetoric as crisis pregnancy centers continue to face threats and attacks from abortion advocates.
Axiom Strategies Communications VP Matt Wolking tweeted, "After many crisis pregnancy centers have been firebombed by Democrats, crazy Mazie Hirono calls for more pro-abortion violence."
RealClear Investigations deputy editor Benjamin Weingarten wrote, "1) Does she mean ‘literally’ or *literally*? 2) Isn’t this incitement to violence on the Senate floor? 3) Doesn’t this follow literal attacks on pro-life centers and threats to the life and limb of Supreme Court justices who (rightly) see no right

Sen. Hiney-Hole.
If Mazie wants to get violent she could beat the crap out of Linseed. I wouldn’t complain.
in support, feminists across the nation pledge no sex until abortion is legal. to which, the men say, WTF?
no one will need an abortion if... nevermind.
She’s trying to start Pearl Harbor II the Sequel.
The democrats are just itching to start something, something literal and violent.
I expect them to ramp it up as the election draws near in a bid to try to enact martial law and cancel the elections or engage in massive vote fraud through mail in voting.
If the right were making the same kinds of comments as the left, the right would be being vilified beyond belief.
She gets away with anything.
Remember in her earliest campaigns when some aides made up campaign ads for Sarah Palin and put sights on pictures of RINOs to “target” politically in primaries.
Leftist media said she was encouraging school gun violence.
Nonsense.
Loretta lynch called for blood in the streets. She got it and our country burned.
“Call to arms”
Maybe she was just trying to get Michelle Obama‘s attention.
All democrats demand and execute violence against their enemies. They should be considered dangerous just by being near you.

When they call for violence its ok and we et them get away with it
Considering that abortion IS VIOLENCE, I'd say you are right.
Roe v Wade was overturned because the Constitution grants authority over abortion to state governments, not to the federal government. Linsey Graham’s proposed federal abortion law would be unconstitutional for the same reason. The Constitution grants authority over abortion to state governments, not to the federal government.
It is obviously a call for physical violence. She sad it is LITERALLY a call to arms. That explicitly means it is not rhetoric or hyperbole. She is asking people to take guns to stop this bill.
The ads running in Nevada against Adam Laxalt over the issue of abortion:
NONE of those women are anywhere near child bearing ages...
CW II, if it happens and I hope it does not, will be fought about many things, but one of the most prominent will be abortion, which is about whether a human being can be put to death at the whim of his/her mother. Same as 1860, which was over many things, but one of the most prominent was the issue of whether human beings can be bought, sold and used like chattels. The parallel is right there.
