Meghan McCain clapped back at Planned Parenthood in defense of her pro-life stance following criticism from the billion-dollar abortion business.
McCain has become an outspoken pro-lifer in recent months as she regularly shares her views as a co-host on ABC s daytime talk show “The View.”
Planned Parenthood s criticism of McCain followed a post on Twitter of her fellow co-host Sara Haines speaking on The View about the vaccine passports which would ban U.S. citizens from traveling unless they ve had a vaccine for COVID-19. I cannot argue privacy on a public health issue like this when I don t understand how the most private thing in my body – my uterus – seems to be open for business when it is convenient politically, Haines said of her support for vaccine passports.
