Peter Doocy To Karine Jean-Pierre: Does Biden Think Overturning Roe Is Like Slavery? [VIDEO]

“Does the president agree with her that the recent Supreme Court decision on abortion access is similar to slavery?” Doocy asked.

“I have not seen her comments,” Jean-Pierre said. “I would like to see her comments for myself before—”

“Her comment was ‘we know, NAACP, that our country has a history of claiming ownership over human bodies. And today extremist, so-called leaders are criminalizing doctors and punishing women from making healthcare decisions for themselves,’” Doocy said.

The press secretary agreed with Harris that doctors are being criminalized and women are losing their rights due to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

“Well, she’s correct. Today’s decisions are criminalizing doctors and essentially taking the rights away from women. Taking the freedom away from women. Really, taking away people’s privacy, that does matter,” Jean-Pierre said. “I appreciate you reading out what she said, I need to actually see exactly what was said in the complete context. That’s what I need to do as a spokesperson for the administration.”

“But I will say, the second part of what she said, the vice president is actually right. I just laid out what women are going through in this country because of an extreme decision that SCOTUS made. Because of what they did, it is going to upend and change the lives of women across the country.”

She then claimed “ultra-MAGA” Republicans are targeting contraception and marriage equality next.

Doocy then turned to Biden’s Friday trip to Saudi Arabia, asking whether she personally heard the president confront the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Jean-Pierre said the president clearly laid out what he addressed during the meeting with the crown prince.

“So ultimately, we get back from this trip, there’s no peace talks in the Middle East, there’s no new commitment to increase oil production in the Gulf, so what was the point of this trip?” Doocy asked.

The press secretary described the significance of two nations discussing topics including security, climate change and issues related to the American family.
