Morning Joe crew argues abortion restrictions threaten navy readiness

The Morning Joe duo of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski slammed "restrictive abortion legal guidelines" on Tuesday, claiming they hurt the US's navy "readiness."

"Now, it turns into a readiness downside," Scarborough mentioned. "In the event you're a lady who needs to become involved in the US navy, when you're a husband whose spouse would not need to journey with you to a state that bans abortions or has a six-week ban on abortion and begins to listen to about this type of hostility in direction of ladies making healthcare decisions ... it turns into an actual readiness downside."

Brzezinski echoed Scarborough and chastised Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) for working to make the navy an unwelcoming area for ladies.

"Does he not need ladies to affix the navy?" she requested. "Or does he simply not need ladies who've pregnancies within the navy and that may be for males? OK, that is the way it occurs, Tommy."

These pregnancies would require an abortion for any motive, Brzezinski mentioned, addressing the senator.

"You do not need them to be denied," she mentioned. "So, what girl would truly need to be a part of the navy in a atmosphere like that ... a misogynistic, merciless atmosphere."
