Fox News host praises Kamala Harris rhetoric on abortion
The Hill ^ | January 17, 2024 | Dominick Mastrangelo

Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany heaped praise on Vice President Harris for her answers to questions on abortion during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday.

During her appearance on the daytime table talk program, Harris blasted Republicans across the country who she said have “banned access to reproductive freedom,” and talked about people who she said are concerned about sending their children to college “in a state where she will have access to the health care she might need, including reproductive health care.”

McEnany, former President Trump’s White House press secretary who is now a co-host of Fox News’s “Outnumbered,” said it was effective of Harris to speak so forcefully about abortion on “The View,” a program that is widely watched by women.

“I disagreed with almost everything she said in this interview, but I will say it was one of her better interviews when it came to style,” McEnany said. “She’s clearly been doing some sort of media training, and she’s been deployed to hit three buckets: progressives where she has more credibility than Joe Biden, young people … she literally said I love Gen Z … and women.”

McEnany noted that when Harris was asked by panelists on “The View” about what she called “low-hanging fruit,” the vice president “pivoted right back to abortion.”

“Because she knows what is true and that is, is the GOP has lost every single abortion ballot initiative post-Roe,” McEnany continued as she rattled off statistics and election results showing the issue of reproductive rights as a major political liability for the GOP. “This is why I’ve implored the GOP as someone who is pro-life myself and adamantly so: Speak from a place of compassion … and be pro-mother, not just pro-baby.”

McEnany suggested Republicans need to change their messaging on abortion “because what Kamala is doing, right or wrong, is very powerful among women.”

Misleading headline.

She didn't praise Harris' "rhetoric on abortion," she praised the fact that Harris didn't present another word-salad while speaking.

Fron one overactor to another, her appreciation of Harris makes sense (now bat your eyes, honey)

I happen to watch this segment. She's pro-life but her point was that anti-abortion is a losing topic with voters.

Kayleigh is right. GOPers really need to simplify their position and state clearly, before they forever lose over half of America. Restrictions on abortion “Yes” Exceptions “Yes”

Why is this a news story?

Lots of people and most of the media are strongly pro-abortion. Kind of a “dog bites man” headline.

For men and those that would compromise with people who only value certain lives.. you will get old, you will get sick.. Does someone else have the right to end your life without a single word from you.???
If you allow them to compromise, then that is what you are agreeing to.
Some doctor or judge can end your life at their convenience. Let’s say, it’s very expensive to rehabilitate you and you’re just past the age where you matter to them….
This is not about abortion, it is about the value of a human being. We see every country in the world now starting to euthanize people without a word from them or their families.
We are one of the last countries on earth fighting g this fight.

Content doesn't match the clickbait headline.

Purposefully misleading to generate clicks.

Kayleigh McEnany did not “heap praise” on “Que mala” Harris, or if it was, it was faint indeed. The caution was for REPUBLICANS to tread lightly on the issue, and not allow the Democrat Socialists to use the strategy of limiting or even prohibiting abortion as a club in the battle for the younger female voters. The safety valve has to be there for a certain portion of these younger females of reproductive age, so they may focus away from this single issue, and look at the whole picture of anti-life and anti-growth politics, of which access to abortion is only one facet. The rest of it, which is wholesale adoption of the “Rules for Radicals” formulated by Saul Alinsky, is a way forward to making a command-and-control regime the means of concentration of power into the hands of a malign few, and the impoverishment of just about everybody else.

It’s not reproductive freedom. It’s murder of children in the womb.

Kayleigh is very young, and the young often speak without thinking too much.
