omi Lahren, a host on the conservative network The Blaze, has faced some backlash in recent days after saying she supports a women's choice to have an abortion during Friday's episode of the ABC show "The View."
Lahren's stance on abortion differs from President Donald Trump, who Lahren supported in the recent election. During the 2016 campaign, Trump vowed to appoint a pro-life Supreme Court justice.
"I am a constitutional (conservative)," Lahren said. "I am someone that loves the constitution and someone for limited government, so I can't stand here and be a hypocrite and say I am for limited government but tell women what to do with their bodies."
Immediately after her appearance on "The View," Lahren faced immediate backlash from pro-life conservatives.
One Twitter user wrote to Lahren, "You lost all credibility with the pro choice comment." Another wrote, "She claims to be conservative. She isn't. Credibility gone."
But Lahren took the comments in stride.
"I speak my truth. If you don't like it, tough. I will always be honest and stand in my truth," Lahren wrote on Saturday.
"I have moderate, conservative, and libertarian views. I'm human. I will never apologize, to anyone, for being an independent thinker," she added.
Lahren, 24, has more than 4 million Facebook likes, and her videos on the social media platform are frequently viewed by more than 1 million users.
Independent thinker? Bitch please. You are inconsistent at best and small minded if you can’t see the flawed logic and mental gymnastics you use to arrive at your “independent thoughts”. Go away. And at the very least stop calling yourself a conservative.
The pig should be on defense.
That old “I believe in limited government, therefore I believe in abortion” is the refuge of severely retarded morons.
It is weak, retarded, pathetic, stupid, lacking in logic, ridiculous, and did I say retarded?
To some extent, I agree with her.
The federal government should have no role in abortion, pro or con. Roe v. Wade was decided incorrectly, as there is no such right in the Constitution, but a nationwide ban on abortion would also be constitutionally incorrect. It is the proper role of the states to make any decisions on abortion’s legality.
The moral decision is to ban abortion, or not to have one even if it’s legal, but that’s not a national decision in any case.
Just 3 months ago, she put “pro-choicers” in quotes and said abortion is murder.
You don’t suppose she got pregnant and quietly aborted, do you?
That is a contradiction right there. The Constitution says nothing about a special right to murder.
Why do so many conservatives always feel that they must go on Defense?
Sooooo what you’re saying is the government should have no role in banning or outlawing murder? Gotcha.
Wow.
She’s not a conservative
Just another fake blonde pretending to be conservative.
"...nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." (Amendment XIV)
"...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" (Amendment V)
Pretty clear, I think. This constitutes a Federal abortion ban.
There is nothing conservative about killing unborn children. The choice is to have sex or not to have sex. After a person is conceived, they have the right to life according to the Constitution. .
Stay on the Blaze, Tomi. You fit in as one of Glenn’s bureau of idiots.
She’s not a conservative
I didn’t know that but it still applies to too many conservatives.
You mean like slavery.
“The moral decision is to ban abortion, or not to have one even if it’s legal, but that’s not a national decision in any case.”
So would you use the same logic in regard to slavery? Meaning that the moral decision is to ban slavery, or not to have a slave if it’s legal, but that it is not a national decision in any case?
I think it is sad when a national government has to do what people should choose to do in the first place on their own, but if those people, or their states, can’t choose to not murder babies, then the national government MUST act for it is otherwise a complete sham.
Oh Tomi,
So when a woman is pregnant she has four eyes, two noses, four lungs and two sets of skeletons?
And two DNA identities.
It's not a "ban on abortion" it is defending the principle that "we are endowed by the Creator with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Murder is already "banned." . .is that "constitutionally incorrect?"
