Fox’s Jessica Tarlov Torches ‘Cruel’ Trump For Joking About Woman Who Died Due to Abortion Law

Fox News host Jessica Tarlov offered her take on former President Donald Trump’s Wednesday morning town hall on women’s issues earlier in the day with Harris Faulkner. Tarlov was on the top-rated show The Five, where she hosts from the “liberal seat,” and was asked for her take.

“What were you offended by? Let’s hear it,” jested co-host Jesse Watters.

“Okay. Well, I’m glad that you asked. I was offended by him calling himself the ‘father of IVF’ and then saying that Senator Katie Britt is young and fantastically attractive, as if that’s relevant at all to her concerns about her friends who have used fertility treatments in order to become pregnant,” Tarlov began, adding:

I was offended by the fact that he was asked by a voter, ‘Why is the government involved in women’s basic rights?’ And he answered with saying, I think it’s great, for 52 years, all the legal scholars, the best legal scholars, Democrats, Republicans, both of them have wanted to get rid of it.

And that’s what I’ve done here. That is not at all how the legal scholars feel or how the American populace feels. And to the questions about lowering the prices of things, again, no real answer. I’m glad I know more about how donuts are made or whatever was going on there. But I don’t think anyone walked away from that thinking that he had any sort of empathy for what’s going on in women’s lives all over the country. I mean, he kicked it off actually by kind of laughing at the Amber Thurman story.

There was– Harris brought up that they the family had put out a prebuttal. And he laughs and he says, we’re going to have higher ratings, which seems pretty cruel. You could use that moment to say, I am so sorry that that young woman, a mother of a six-year-old boy, lost her life.

Thurman died in 2022 after not receiving medical care for some 20 hours following a treatable complication from taking an abortion pill. Doctors in Georgia delayed treatment for Thurman out of fear of the state’s abortion restrictions.
