Fox Guest: Mandatory Vaccinations Could Lead To ‘Forced Abortion’

Fox News guest Jonathan Hoenig said on Saturday that those advocating mandatory vaccinations for the “so-called public good” could be ushering in “forced abortions” and “forced pills.”

After host Eric Bolling noted a bill in California proposing mandatory vaccinations regardless of religious belief, Hoenig breathlessly condemned forced immunization by government.

“Think about where this could lead if government gets involved in science and medicine— forced sterilizations, forced abortion, forced pills, forced treatments,” he exclaimed.

Hoenig did add that he thought if someone were contagious, they should be quarantined (forcibly).

“Oh my god,” said another exasperated guest Nomiki Konst, who informed Hoenig that 48 out of 50 states already have mandatory vaccinations for children who enter public schools.

“They should absolutely be mandatory,” she added.

    Who is Jonathan Hoenig and what are his qualifications to speak knowledgeably on this subject?

  2. The hole in Hoenig’s logic is as gaping as the vacant space in Bolling’s head. Forcing one to have an abortion contrary to her choice would have zero benefit on public health, while 48 out of 50 states compel children entering public school to be vaccinated against communicable diseases to protect the public from potentially disabling or even fatal catastrophic plagues.

  3. Obviously Woody Allen’s film “Bananas” was prescient when it showed how the people of San Marcos were forced into extreme hygienic oppression. It could happen here.

    Dictator of San Marcos:

    From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish.

    In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half hour.

    Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check.

    Require mandatory vaccinations today, and the" brown-spot police" is the next step

  4. I encounter people like him on occasion, it’s best to smile at them and back away slowly.

    Hoenig “logic”: Forced births will lead to forced vaccinations which will lead to forced abortions. Oh. Wait…
