Actress and activist Jane Fonda appeared on ABC’s “The View” today and shocked the panel when she advocated for “murder” in order to protect the right to have an abortion.
Fonda told the co-hosts, “We have experienced many decades now of having agency over our body, of being able to determine when and how many children to have.”
“We know what that feels like, we know what that’s done for our lives. We’re not going back, I don’t care what the laws are. We’re not going back,” Fonda insisted.
The audience gave her a round of applause and co-host Sonny Hostin gushed, “That’s the activist,” with co-host Joy Behar chiming in, “That’s Jane” as Hostin added, “She probably will get a Nobel Prize.”
“It’s the truth, it is the truth. We’re gonna fight,” Fonda declared, which led Behar to ask, “Besides marching and protesting, what else do you suggest?”
Fonda quipped in response, “Well, I’ve thought of murder,” as her fellow guest and “Grace and Frankie” co-star Lily Tomlin explained that it “doesn’t happen overnight.. it’s not a miraculous… what did you say?”
“Murder,” Fonda repeated as everyone burst into laughter and Behar attempted to cover for her by saying that she was kidding, although she never admitted that she was, in fact, kidding, and she even gave Behar an awkward stare.
U.S. House Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shared the clip in a quote tweet and said, “Unapologetic Pro-Life Politician here.”
“I routinely get death threats because of the nasty women on The View and the things they say about me. But calling for us to be assassinated makes The View, the hosts, the producers, the network, the advertisers, and everyone involved responsible for death threats, attacks, and potential murders of Pro-Life politicians and activists. I am reporting this. By the way,” Greene announced.
Greene then took a shot at Fonda and told her, “@Janefonda your eggs are dried up so you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant anytime soon, so you can retire from demanding baby murder now.”
Unapologetic Pro-Life Politician here. 🙋♀️
