Steve Deace is clearly more interested in dominating women than in any right to life. Right Wing Watch summed him up as “a radical far-right broadcaster who has repeatedly called for violence against his political opponents, including openly declaring that he wants to see "antifa members hanging from gallows in Trump ties."
Recently, Right Wing Watch caught Deace ranting about a Massachusetts law empowering women and their doctors to decide whether to have an abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy. “I think we're going to have to understand that the tactics of yesteryear are over, the talking points of the pro Roe v. Wade era are over,” he said. “I think it's actually going to have to be the men that end this, and I think it was always going to be.”
Deace’s seems to think feminism all about having sex and pregnancy. “First of all, men have to decide that they're done enjoying the accoutrements of feminism, that you can get the dopamine hit and the sexual release from women with no consequence whatsoever that feminism afforded you. You got to grow up, be a man, and be done with that,” he continued.
He clearly thinks giving women power is a threat to society. He called matriarchy “destructive” “to culture.”
“As men, we will not have what it requires of us to stand up and defeat [abortion] once and for all and drive it out of our nation until we agree that we are no longer going to be the de facto beneficiaries of feminism,” he added. By that, he meant, “We're no longer going to father children and abandon them.”
I’m all for fathers not abandoning their children. But you shouldn’t need abolishing abortion as the inducement.
Nevertheless, Deace thinks it’s up to men to end abortion. He made it sound like a duty they must impose on women. “We're going to have to end this," he repeated, "and I think we have tried arguing this on the other side's terms. We've tried using emotional and victim language, and it's failed miserably, and I think now is a time for truth and for more patriarchy, but we need men worthy of that patriarchy first.”
In other words, women can’t be trusted to have a say in whether their bodies carry a fetus to term.
