Rolling Stone writer argues the word ‘pro-life’ is racist, should be retired like ‘Redskins’

Rolling Stone senior writer Jamil Smith just took to Twitter to claim that the word “pro-life” is typically used in service of racism and misogyny, and that it should be permanently retired just like the word “Redskins.”

Smith wrote this in response to an offensive comment by Bishop Talbert Swan against pro-life voters.

“Ironically, the governors most willing to watch their citizens die are the ones who have used ‘pro-life’ rhetoric to compel people of faith to support the narrow interests of corporate greed & white political power. COVID has revealed how the ‘pro-life’ movement is killing us,” Swan had tweeted.

Needless to say, Smith agreed with this incendiary remark.

“This point cannot be emphasized enough, or too often,” Smith tweeted in response. “The moniker ‘pro-life,’ so often used in the service of not just misogyny but also racism, should be retired right along with Aunt Jemima and the [Washington] ‘Redskins’ team name.”

This comes days after the Washington Redskins announced that they would be abandoning the name that they have been using for 87 years, buckling to pressure from the radical Left in doing so.

“On July 3rd, we announced the commencement of a thorough review of the team’s name. That review has begun in earnest. As part of this process, we want to keep our sponsors, fans and community apprised of our thinking as we go forward,” the team said in a statement on Monday. “Today, we are announcing we will be retiring the Redskins name and logo upon completion of this review.”

“[Owner] Dan Snyder and Coach [Ron] Rivera are working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud, tradition rich franchise and inspire our sponsors, fans and community for the next 100 years,” they added.

The Left is “cancelling” words like crazy right now, and as soon as they get one thing cancelled, they just move on to the next thing. We can only imagine who or what they will try to “cancel” next.
