MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews had a few things to say<\/a> about the pro-life movement today — and not in the way you might expect. On Monday’s edition of Morning Joe, Matthews gave what amounts to a stunning admission of the strength of the pro-life movement today.<\/p>\n

In a discussion about Trump voters who may not fall into typical categories, Matthews noted that many voters do not feel seen or heard. In fact, intentionally overlooking or dismissing someone, especially when it comes to deeply-held beliefs on abortion, does not make political sense.<\/p>\n

“It’s one thing to disagree about abortion rights,\u201d said Matthews. \u201cWe all have our own personal views \u2014 and nuances by the way, lots of nuances in that fight. But don’t make fun of the other side, don’t make fun of the pro-life people. Don’t think they are low-brows because they aren’t as sophisticated as you are. I think there’s a lot of that attitude that creeps into the vote \u2014 ‘oh not only do they disagree with me, they look down on me for caring about life. Oh, I get it. I’m not one of them. I know that.'”<\/p>\n
