Reid on Abortion Rights: Republicans Act in a ‘Very Talibanesque Way’

REID: “In that scene of women weeping and chanting ‘Shame!’ while a man bangs the gavel and basically tells them, ‘If you can’t be quiet and let us strip you of your rights, you can get out,’ it felt very Taliban to me. And I bring up Taliban a lot with my poor beleaguered team, but the thing about Republicans now is that they are acting in very Taliban-esque way. They are a religious group of extremists who — they definitely don’t care about children. They want to control women. They want total control over women and they are exercising that control. Let’s put up the map. All across the former slave states and in states in the West that they control, while women have no power to stop them or a few join them, then these women wake up in a state where they have no rights.”
