Fox Business anchor Cheryl Casone (screen grab)



............After Starnes called on the Republican Party to make the presidential debates about the abortion issue, he was interrupted by Fox Business anchor Cheryl Casone, who was waiting off camera to report on Twitter earnings.

“I can’t sit here anymore and listen to this,” she said. “This is a barbaric practice whether you’re pro-life or you’re pro-choice.”

“The choice is life or death!” Starnes exclaimed, wagging his finger at her.

“You’re going to make this about abortion when you’ve got so many other issues!” Casone shouted back. “You’re going to make the election about abortion. Something [that’s settled law] since Roe v. Wade. You really want to go all the way back to that debate when there are so many other issues facing this country? That’s the election you want to have in 2016?”

“I do wonder if they’ve got the photographs of aborted little girls!” Starnes bellowed, anticipating a “War on Women” line of attack. “Little girls who do not have a right to live in this country because they’ve been aborted and their arms and their limbs and their body parts are auctioned off to the highest bidder.”

“So you want to overturn Roe v. Wade, is that what you’re saying, Todd?” Casone asked sternly.
