A guest who appeared on MSNBC host Joy Reid’s show called Texas pro-life supporters the “new American Taliban.”

Author Frank Schaeffer joined Reid to share his thoughts on the Texas abortion ban. He is the son of the late evangelical Francis Schaeffer.

The law banning all abortions after six weeks went into effect in Texas on Wednesday.

“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 Wednesday night.

He argued the “evangelical movement is no longer the one that my dad and I tried to talk into radicalism and sadly were too successful in doing back in the 70s.”

Schaeffer added, “Today… there is no evangelical political movement. There is a new American Taliban and their goal is theocracy which means to take our religious beliefs, which for them are Old Testament Law, not Christianity, and force secular Americans, non-evangelical Americans, progressive Americans, women, people of color, into that box.”

He suggested this “is not hyperbole. This is happening right now tonight in Texas.”

The Supreme Court refused to block the ban in a late night decision Wednesday, as IJR reported. The opinion said abortion providers failed to address “complex and novel antecedent procedural questions” properly.

President Joe Biden slammed the court for its decision in a statement Thursday.

“Rather than use its supreme authority to ensure justice could be fairly sought, the highest Court of our land will allow millions of women in Texas in need of critical reproductive care to suffer while courts sift through procedural complexities,” Biden said.

Additionally, the president announced he is “directing that Council and the Office of the White House Counsel to launch a whole-of-government effort to respond to this decision.”
