Former White House press secretary and Fox contributor Ari Fleischer appeared on Fox News and stated, “If any legislature is foolish enough to want to ban contraception, let them try. They will all get voted out of office. This is not the 1920s or 1930s. But the principal point is the people’s representatives and legislatures have the right to make these decisions.” Fleischer elaborated, “If they want to try to ban contraception, which is the big fear now on the left, not a single one would do it because the American people left, right, and center would rise against them.” [Fox News, The Story with Martha MacCallum, 6/24/22]

Wade from Obergefell, from Lawrence v. Texas,” but “the left fundamentally refuses to understand this.” He also claimed, “When you hear today the left say that the court is going to reopen those things, understand that Thomas would – and he would be correct to do so by the way, legally correct” – but there are not enough votes.

Anchor Bret Baier emphasized that Justices Roberts and Kavanaugh stated the ruling has no impact on  “precedents that do not concern aboriton.”  Severino added, “Justice Thomas himself says we are not going down that other road.” [Fox News, The Five, 6/24/22]

If the media in this country would actually inform itself as you do and report the facts to the American people, we'd be less divided.” [Fox News, Sunday Morning Futures, 6/26/22, 6/26/22] 

Bream downplayed the punishments that doctors will face for providing abortions. Speaking about many of the trigger laws and other laws that will severely restrict abortion access, Bream said, “The penalties are never for the woman.

[Fox News, Fox News Sunday, 6/26/22]

Fox host Stuart Varney stated he was “not sure” he could “get behind” corporations that pay their employees to travel for an abortion. “I must say, I find that extraordinary — that major corporations would pay to have their employees who wish to have an abortion travel to a state which allows it freely. … It is a very sensitive issue, but it does sound like encouragement, and I’m not sure I can get behind that.” [Fox Business, Varney & Co., 6/24/22]

Varney went on to speak with Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and say, “Forgive me, but I do want to go back to the corporations funding travel expenses and abortion itself for some of their employees.” Varney said he wanted to ask about the “morality” of that and asked, “Is it symptomatic of American corporations diving into left-wing — essentially left-wing politics — and pushing it to the rest of society? That’s the way I see it. How about you?” [Fox Business, Varney & Co., 6/24/22]
