Conservatives on Twitter didn’t mince words when reacting to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., present her scheme to keep as many abortions happening in the U.S. as possible.
In the wake of the Supreme Court decision in the Dobbs case last Friday, which overturned Roe v. Wade, AOC has been urging protesters, voters, and the federal government to rise to the occasion and protect abortion rights in the United States.
In a speech she gave on the night of the decision, AOC presented that the U.S. government could get around red state laws banning abortion by putting abortion clinics on federal lands in said states.
Before a crowd of pro-abortion protesters, the congresswoman exclaimed into a microphone: “Yeah, I’ll start with the babies of baby steps. Open abortion clinics on federal lands in red states right now!”
Conservatives rebuked AOC for demanding that abortion clinics be placed on federal land in response to the SCOTUS decision.

During last Sunday’s Meet The Press, she stated, “This decision and this policy will kill people no matter what theitheir spin and their talking pointsvatives on Twitter noticed the speech on Tuesday after the RNC Research Twitter account posted it.
“Democrats’ actual positions on abortion are way, way, WAY too extreme to benefit in a post-Roe world politically,” the Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway tweeted.
Conservative radio host Joe Pagliarulo tweeted, “I will never understand why a group of women would cheer and applaud the killing of the unborn. It’s an exercise in mind control. Sick.”
Pagliarulo posted a subsequent tweet commenting on a video of AOC talking about voting pro-life Democrats out of office. The host wrote, “yup.. they are 100 percent the party of killing unborn children.”
