On the 22 January 2015 edition of All In With Chris Hayes, MSNBC's Irin Carmon bewailed the apparent inevitability that the Republican-led Congress would reintroduce a proposed ban on abortions after the twentieth week of pregnancy: "I think even if this bill were to come back and it would have a broader rape exception, it would still be an attack on all of the women who need abortions after twenty weeks."
Carmon, the liberal network's resident pro-abortion absolutist, later played up that the bill, which House Republican leaders pulled from consideration on Wednesday due to supposed objections from several female Republican representatives, was conservatives' "preferred vehicle for a direct assault on Roe v. Wade."
