Pro-Abortion Andrea Mitchell Scolds Colleague On-Air For Saying ‘Pro-Life’

In a bizarrely uncomfortable moment on MSNBC Thursday, host propagandist Andrea Mitchell scolded a reporter in the middle of his report for using the term “pro-life.”

Reporter Garrett Haake was explaining to Mitchell why Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C. had voted for two “anti-abortion bills” this week, despite telling MSNBC she wished her party would focus on birth control access as a measure to stop abortions.

“She told reporters after the fact that at the end of the day, she was, as she described herself, ‘pro-life,'” Haake said of Mace. “She felt it was important to vote for these measures despite their potentially politically damaging — or politically unappealing appearance, if you will —”

 

“Garrett, let me just interrupt and say that pro-life is a term that they — an entire group wants to use. But that’s not an accurate description,” Mitchell corrected him.

“I’m using it because it’s the term she used to describe herself, Andrea,” a miffed Haake responded.

“I understand. I understand,” Mitchell mumbled. A long awkward silence ensued until Mitchell finally added, “Anyway, that was her explanation.”

More awkward silence. Mitchell finally decided to change topics.

Mitchell has such a far-Left bias that she couldn’t even stop herself correcting a colleague using the term “pro-life” despite it being appropriate in the context of his report. She had to interject in order to delegitimize the label as “inaccurate” — even though it is accurate. Pro-lifers are those who favor choosing life over abortion. In what way is the term “inaccurate”? Mitchell didn’t say, because she couldn’t.

Views on Planned Parenthood and Abortion Rights

Mitchell is a strong supporter of Planned Parenthood and wide-ranging abortion rights. When President Trump signed a bill in April 2017 undoing an Obama-era regulation that had prohibited states from withholding money from Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics, Mitchell said: “This is a killer decision, this Title X decision … and Planned Parenthood says it’s really devastating.” The following month, Mitchell invited her friend, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, onto her program to denounce an upcoming vote in which House Republicans would seek to amend the Affordable Care Act of 2010 Obamacare. Said Mitchell: “[T]he winds are not blowing well for Planned Parenthood. This vote is likely to pass the House and it does defund Planned Parenthood, which means all of your clinics around the country for women’s health.”
