MSNBC’s Joy Reid promoted a guest on her show, the Reid Out, who compared pro-lifers to the Taliban terrorist group.

Fox News reports: 

The “ReidOut” host invited author Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late evangelical Francis Schaeffer, to discuss the Texas Heartbeat Act, the law restricting nearly all abortions in the state which went into effect on Wednesday. Schaeffer went on a long rant against supporters of the law, calling them anti-woman and even labeling them as “bio-terrorists.” 

“We have a situation in Texas right now tonight where the American Taliban, because that’s what it is, there’s not an American evangelical right-wing movement, there is an American Taliban that is weirdly similar in so many ways to the Middle Eastern Islamist terrorists,” Schaeffer said.
