Activist and Hollywood star Jane Fonda this Friday defended the “murder” of anti-abortion politicians as one of the options for North American women to continue voluntarily terminating their pregnancies.
“We’ve controlled our bodies for decades and we’re able to decide how many kids we want to have and when. Now that we know what it’s like, we’re not going back, I don’t care about the laws. We’re not going back “, emphasized the North American actress on the morning show The View.
Host Joy Behar asked the actress what actions she would suggest to take, aside from protests, to deal with political decisions that affect women’s freedom, to which Fonda said, “Well, I’ve been thinking about murder.”
The activist’s comment was interpreted as a joke by the other women in the discussion, but Fonda, 85, declined to clarify whether she meant it or not.
Faced with the ambiguity of the phrase, Republican congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna interpreted the words of the actress as literal and announced on the social network Twitter that she had informed the Capitol police of the statements about the “murder of pro-life politicians”.
“As a pro-life member of Congress and faced with the lack of response [de Fonda] To clarify that your statement was a joke, we take this threat seriously,” the congressman said in a statement.
Anna Paulina Luna also demanded that The View and the two-time Oscar winner for Klute (1972) and Coming Home (1979) publicly apologize for her “disgusting behavior” during the call.
