Leftist journalist Julia Ioffe: ‘What if you could perform an abortion with an AR-15?’

Julia Ioffe, founding partner and Washington correspondent for Puck News, found herself in hot water on Wednesday night when she tweeted that 2nd Amendment advocates would suddenly be for banning AR-15 rifles if they were tools used in abortions.

“What if you could perform an abortion with an AR-15? What if the 19 kids killed [in] Uvalde weren’t children, but fetuses?” Ioffe said in her now-deleted tweet.

Though Ioffe deleted the tweet, she issued no apology. As noted by Fox News, her statement echoes her flub from 2021 in which she made an inadvertent pro-life argument while attacking the Texas Heartbeat Act.

“If you are anti-choice and you want to make sure women carry every pregnancy to term, why not make the person who created the pregnancy contribute? Why not have men pay child support to the women they impregnate? Surely, it is not the woman’s responsibility alone?” she tweeted.

She's not wrong.

She's more of an iconoclast than anything. And an absolute expert on Russia. She sometimes could use a filter, but I subscribe to Puck just to read her.

It would put 2 conservative groups that only vote based on their 1 issue at odds with each other, however it's entirely a moot point since they're not and they won't.

I suppose an AR15 could be used to abort a pregnancy but it’s not a recommended best practice
