In his latest video, extremist right-wing activist Theodore Shoebat blasted Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin for vetoing legislation that would have made it a felony to perform an abortion in any situation other than to save the life of a pregnant woman and criticized Donald Trump for backing away from his statement that women who receive abortions should face some sort of punishment.
Shoebat, who was recently featured in Janet Porter’s anti-gay documentary “Light Wins” along with several Republican presidential candidates, members of Congress and leading anti-gay activists, insisted that Trump was right when he initially said that women who get abortions should be punished but then was pressured into issuing a “bullcrap” clarification only because he wants to win the election.
“He should have never retracted his statement,” Shoebat asserted, because “if you really believe it’s murder, then the woman has to be punished. That is the logical conclusion.”
A woman who has an abortion is not the victim, he said, “she’s a selfish slut who needs to be punished.”
Shoebat blasted Fallin as a “witch” for vetoing this piece of legislation, insisting that the three-year prison term the law would have carried “is not really a big deal” and, in fact, does not go far enough.
It makes no sense to punish only doctors for performing abortions, Shoebat declared, “because the woman is actually more guilty” and “the biggest criminal” since without her consent, no abortion would ever take place.
As such, both women who have abortions and doctors who perform them should be lined up before a firing squad and shot, he said.
“Yeah, arrest all the abortion doctors and put them before a firing squad and kill ’em,” Shoebat said, “but do not exempt the woman. The woman also needs to be in front of that firing squad as well.”
