On Friday’s episode of ABC’s The View, liberal actor and political activist George Takei slammed the Republican Party over the recently leaked Supreme Court opinion draft, saying that a potential end to Roe v Wade is "not the Republican way" and would be "dangerous" for the country. As soon as the Star Trek actor sat down at The View set, co-host Joy Behar brought up Takei's very public political views. She said, "You know, I follow you on Twitter.
You’re a very outspoken political activist and I appreciate it." Behar immediately got into the topic of the Supreme Court draft concerning Roe v Wade. "We’ve been talking about the Supreme Court’s slip-up with the leak about Roe v Wade – what are your thoughts on that." "The View" discusses parental rights bills on April 29, 2022.

"Well, a core value of the Republican Party, I thought, was small government," he said. "Freedom of speech, freedom of – free trade, all that freedom." "But when it comes to the most private area of a woman’s life and decision-making, government wants to ban it," he declared, adding, "I mean, that’s not the Republican way." He accused Republicans of neglecting babies once they’re born. "And then once the woman has a baby because of the ban, then what do they do with the children? Total irresponsibility," he argued. He then provided what he interpreted as evidence for that, explaining, "Education budget is cut.
Childcare is cut. I mean, it is the most irrational and un-Republican act." Behar interjected, calling the ban, "very mean." A police officer patrols in front of of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, Oct.
