KALAMAZOO, MI — Michigan Democratic Senate nominee and anti-Semite extraordinaire, Abdul El-Sayed informed a pro-life student that a pregnant mother is “simply a carrying vehicle for a fetus that has not ever breathed air,” after she asked why she should vote for him.
The exchange occurred at a “Students vs. Billionaires” event on the Western Michigan University campus. El-Sayed did not use the word “woman.” Instead, like a good leftist, he referred to the pregnant mother as “an adult, or sometimes even a juvenile human.”
“I respect your position insofar as it’s founded in the idea that you want to protect and empower life,” El-Sayed told the student. “The question we have to ask ourselves is, what’s the best way to do that? And whose life gets destroyed in that process?” That is, if you help one life, you are somehow destroying another life--it's the same playbook leftists use to say that billionaires are taking money away from others in order to be rich.
He continued: “Because too often when government says that you cannot have reproductive care, you are creating a circumstance in which an adult, or sometimes even a juvenile human, is being reduced into simply a carrying vehicle for a fetus that has not ever breathed air.”
He later clarified that restricting abortion turns “the currently existing life of the mother” into “simply a carrying vehicle for a fetus.” Campaign aides confirmed the nominee remains open to other vehicle metaphors, provided the fetus has not completed the required air-intake paperwork.
Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, said the answer treats a pre-born child as if the baby does not count until a first breath outside the womb.
“I’ve carried four babies. I was their mother long before any of them breathed air,” she said. “The Pro-Life Generation knows a pre-born baby is still a baby.”
Hawkins noted that El-Sayed has pledged to repeal the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal taxpayer funding of most abortions, to defend government funding for Planned Parenthood, and to keep tax dollars from pregnancy resource centers, which he has called “fake clinics.” Sources say the clinics’ principal offense is offering diapers instead of the correct philosophical category for the occupant.
When Planned Parenthood Action Fund endorsed him in August, she said, he praised “the tenacity and compassion of the folks at Planned Parenthood” and said he looked forward to partnering with them in the Senate.
El-Sayed and pro-life Republican Mike Rogers are set to debate Thursday in Grand Rapids. Hawkins said Students for Life Action students plan to be outside, and that the group is targeting the Michigan Senate race ahead of the Nov. 3 election. She also pointed to a leaked Democratic playbook that, she said, puts abortions up to birth and repeal of the Hyde Amendment at the top of the list if Democrats take Congress, with a promise to act within the first 100 hours.
At press time, El-Sayed’s campaign was still refining whether the carrying vehicle retains voting rights once the fetus has been successfully delivered to the curb.
