New England Patriots' Benjamin Watson hits back at Alyssa Milano's abortion 'lie'

New England Patriots tight end Benjamin Watson hit back at actress Alyssa Milano for saying anti-abortion laws would affect "women of color" the most.

Watson, a father of seven and the author of “The New Dad’s Playbook,” appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday and commented on Milano’s abortion remarks.

“This is the same type of narrative or lie that’s been told over and over again and whether she meant to do it or not, so many people fall into this and it’s really a combination of ignorance or racism,” Watson said. “And when I say racism what I’m saying is that to the fact that having more children of color is a problem and the idea that would be a problem to women of color is an issue."

Watson has somewhat different views on a range of topics than many here, but his views are well thought out, and he is generally respected for his reasonableness.

I don’t know of all of his views, pro-life is most important to me so for this, he will have my full support, versus the race baiting uselesnes of the pro-infanticide former slavery party of the Democrats whose puppetmaster is planned parenthood.

They don’t even hide their racism anymore; abortion is legal today, and will be forever, because it is white libs’ “final solution” to the slavery issue that has dogged this country since 1865.

Also, his play to knock the ball out of Champ Bailey’s hands for what should have been ruled a touchback was one of the best I’ve seen.

He has seven kids...all after he was married, all by the same mother.

In this respect, he walks the walk.

I don’t agree with everything he says (he strays into various social justice issues I don’t agree with him on) but on family, abortion, and similar issues, he is spot on.

He seems to be a stand up guy. He just got busted by the league for using performance enhancing drugs, but I accept his explanation and also his acceptance of responsibility.

Wow, what a play. I just watched it again last week, and poor Champ, he got absolutely clobbered at the very end where he was just starting to let up and coast in!

THAT was a pretty wild play. By analysis, they said Watson had to cover 120 yards to Champ Bailey’s 98 or 99 yards.

The soft bigotry of lowered expectations. You have to laugh at the left. You also have to keep an eye on them because they are dangerous.

Sure - I just couldn’t believe they openly admitted this might prevent “women of color” from killing their children (so the white witches freak out).

I think that’s called being “stuck on stupid”. In the liberal sphere of arguement, everything must be framed in a way that “disproportionately affects women/children of color”. They know from experience they can sell darn near anything based on that. We should audibly laugh in their faces. I know it’s not polite to tease stupid people, but they only seem to respond to ridicule.

The problem is THEY ARE OPENLY ADMITTING THEY WANT WOMEN OF COLOR ABORTING THEIR CHILDREN.

I’m shocked that more blacktivists let the story die when for a few years now, NYC has had more black abortions than live births.
