CHILLS. @SenatorTimScott delivers a stunning rebuke to Janet Yellen claiming black women need abortions to succeed: “I’ll just simply say that as a guy raised by a black woman in abject poverty, I am thankful to be here as a United States senator.”
Yellen: "In many cases abortions are of teenage women, particularly low income, and often black, who aren’t in a position to be able to care for children, have unexpected pregnancies, and it deprives them of the ability, often, to continue their education..."
@MaryMargOlohan @SenatorTimScott Why do they act like abortion is the only option?
@MaryMargOlohan @SenatorTimScott His mother made a choice. All Women deserve the right to make a choice that best fits their needs. If you are against abortions. Don't have one.
@MaryMargOlohan @SenatorTimScott I think Yellen was correct.Tim Scott’s story is nice but most people don’t succeed from that position.
@MaryMargOlohan @EWErickson @SenatorTimScott I think we can safely say Scott is the exception to the rule...
@MaryMargOlohan @SenatorTimScott Oh way to twist her words. She did not say black women need abortions to succeed and you know it. And to Sen. Scott again, it’s about CHOICE and everyone doesn’t have the same experience.
@MaryMargOlohan @SenatorTimScott It was nice to hear him say that but I'm not sure I would call it a stunning rebuke. A good counter anecdote maybe.
@MaryMargOlohan @SenatorTimScott Remember this is the same guy that said "Racism in America doesn't exist" on Fox News.
