Ocasio-Cortez Childishly Lies About Alabama’s Abortion Law To Cause Stir Up Hate, And Get’s Called Out!
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was called out Wednesday for her comments on the new abortion law in Alabama.
She flat out lied and then instead of admitting to it, she turns into a little immature kid.
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted,
Alabama lawmakers are making all abortions a felony punishable w jailtime,incl women victimized by rape+incest. Of course, no added punishments for rapists. It’s going to @GovernorKayIvey‘s desk. She will decide the future of women’s rights in Alabama.
This law would force children – 12 year olds – to carry a pregnancy by their rapist. This law would force people w/ mental disabilities to carry pregnancy by rape to term. This law forces people to be pregnant against their own consent. It’s horrifying.

But as The Daily Wire has reported, Ocasio-Cortez’s tweets are full of lies.
Of course, this is untrue. Third-party abortionists would be prosecuted under the new law, not mothers. One America News Network’s Liz Wheeler called out the 29-year-old: “This is a lie,” she replied. “Under no circumstances would women be jailed for abortions. The abortionist would be penalized.”
“Tell the truth, [AOC],” Wheeler continued. “You’re trying to scare women into supporting abortion. Why don’t you tell the truth & see if women support your extreme abortion agenda then?”
Liz Wheeler from Tipping Point on One America News Network took time to address AOC’s comments and to call her out on them:
This is a lie. Under no circumstances would women be jailed for abortions. The abortionist would be penalized. Tell the truth, @AOC. You’re trying to scare women into supporting abortion. Why don’t you tell the truth & see if women support your extreme abortion agenda then?

The talk went back a forth a little with AOC replying,
It’s a felony punishable by jail, incl cases of women pregnant by rape or incest. Twitter is 280 chars – read the context clues in grammar of the tweet.
But good to know you’re here to promote criminalizing medical providers aiding victims of rape and incest! ?? good job

Wheeler replied,
280 characters is plenty of room to tell truth. It’d never be a felony for women. Period.
It’s despicable to use victims of child rape as justification for 1M abortions every year… because you Dems aren’t seeking exemption for rape/incest, you want all abortion legal always.

Then AOC acting like an 11 year old tweeted once more:
Actually it *would* be a felony for women – if those women are medical providers. See? According to your own semantic standard, you “lied.”
We can fact-check obvious semantics all day and make absurd bad faith claims if that’s how you want be. But I have better uses for my time.

So AOC started off by saying, “Alabama lawmakers are making all abortions a felony punishable w jailtime,incl women victimized by rape+incest“
She then denies that it’s a lie. Let’s see what the law says.
Under Section 5 it says, “No woman upon whom an abortion is performed or attempted to be performed shall be criminally or civilly liable. Furthermore, no physician confirming the serious health risk to the child’s mother shall be criminally or civilly liable for those actions.”
But rather than fess up to her mistakes, she doubles down and plays a childish game with Wheeler saying, “Actually it *would* be a felony for women – if those women are medical providers. See? According to your own semantic standard, you “lied.”
What a child!
