While serving as temporary host of The Daily Show last week, comedian Wanda Sykes was joined by The Nation’s Katha Pollitt, and together they\u00a0disseminated misinformation<\/a> about abortion and pro-lifers in the United States. Sykes and Pollitt, the latter of whom is an outspoken pro-abortion author, specifically attacked abortion-related terminology and made shockingly inaccurate comments about pro-lifers.<\/p>\n

What is an abortionist?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The conversation on abortion began with Sykes accusing pro-lifers of utilizing “scare tactics” when discussing abortion with language such as “partial-birth abortion” and “abortion doctors.”<\/p>\n

“Like, no one goes to college and go, you know, ‘What are you going to be?’ ‘I’m going to be a cardiologist. What are you doing?’ ‘I don’t know; I think I’m going to work with feet. What about you?’ Abortion! That’s all I’m doing. Just abortions.’ There’s no such thing as an abortion doctor.”<\/p>\n
