As Americans watch horrifying images of Taliban cruelty in A\fghanistan, MSNBC ran an op-ed by columnist Dean Obeidallah on Wednesday comparing pro-life Republican legislators to members of the terrorist group. He warned, “the Taliban aren’t the only ones trying to impose their will on women’s bodies and choices.”

The Daily Wire reports

“Over the last few days, the airwaves have been filled with Republicans voicing their deep concern over the rights of the women of Afghanistan,” Obeidallah wrote, adding, “And yet, I have to wonder where these voices were when extremists, based on a narrow reading of their religion’s beliefs, enacted a law that forces a woman who was raped to carry the fetus of the rapist to term?”

“Look, nobody is saying the GOP and the Taliban are equally bad,” the MSNBC columnist said. However, he accused Republican lawmakers of attempting to “impose their religious beliefs on all others.”

“If the GOP wants to show that it is sincerely concerned with the rights of the women in Afghanistan, it can start by first championing the human rights of women in the U.S. But instead, it is doing all it can to prevent gender equality while oppressing women based on its members’ extreme religious beliefs,” Obeidallah wrote.

“Sound familiar?” he concluded.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, slammed MSNBC in a statement, writing, “MSNBC does the nation a great disservice in allowing this piece to run, which exploits Afghan women, ignores their values, and smears pro-life Republicans who are fighting every day in Congress to defend the lives of American women and their unborn babies from the extreme agenda of the abortion lobby.”

Keep in mind PRO LIFERS have no use for abortionists or supporters. We would gladly trade all of your worthless lives to save one baby.

Obeidallah is not the ‘servant of God,’ he is the servant of SATAN. His satanic majesty will feast on your entrails for eternity, Obeidshaitan.

They aren’t showing any concern about ANYONE in Afghanistan. Not Afghani’s, not US civilians, not military. The whole plan is to be a total cluster and destroy the credibility of the US to further their insidious agenda. None of the fiasco’s they’ve created were on accident. They are deploying their strategy perfectly and we just keep losing by saying they are incompetent. They are fine with the characterization because it’s a distraction from them intentionally destroying the USA.
