Liberal Media’s Talking Point on Texas Abortion Law: ‘Uber Driver'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/10/2021 2:13:08 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

When it comes to the Texas abortion law, the liberal trope of the times is the poor, besieged, "Uber driver." The notion is that Uber drivers who transport women to abortion clinics will be sued by private citizens under the law, seeking an award of up to $10,000.

On Friday's Morning Joe, MSNBC liberal analyst Jonathan Lemire, who also poses as a "reporter" for the Associated Press, mouthed the "Uber driver" line.

We've put together a mash-up of multiple liberal worthies, starting with Lemire, all trotting out the "Uber driver" trope.

Leftists prefer to focus on supposedly beleaguered Uber drivers even though very few are likely to be sued. Because they want to deflect attention from what the true target of the law would be: the abortionists themselves.

Side question: what the heck happened to Ana Navarro? Hitting the Golden Corral buffet a bit too hard?

Great point! California wants to destroy Uber driver gigs by forcing them to become “employees.”

So what if an Uber driver is taking someone to an illegal drug buy? Are they legally responsible?

Your answer to that question should be the same answer to this question.

Also, the satanists are trying to use the consternation and panic over the Texas law to institutionalize child sacrifice under the umbrella of religious freedom.
