Tucker Carlson says he’s ‘totally opposed’ to abortion, euthanasia


(LifeSiteNews) — Tucker Carlson told Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene that he is completely opposed to abortion, and that euthanasia is “one of the most evil things” he can conceive of.

In an interview published Friday, when Greene applauded the fact that President Donald Trump expressed anger over Israel and Iran’s violation of his proclaimed ceasefire, Carlson responded, “I’m not entirely surprised.”

Weighing in with his own thoughts on Israel’s war, Carlson said, “I’m against killing people. Innocents. I’m just opposed.”

“I’m totally opposed to abortion,” he continued. “I think euthanasia is one of the worst, one of the most evil things I can think of.”

“Me too, I agree,” chimed in Greene.

“And I think wars of choice are really evil. That’s my view…I feel it instinctively, but I feel like theologically that’s correct,” said Carlson.

While Carlson is not a Catholic, his views on abortion and euthanasia are in alignment with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which teaches that every abortion is a “moral evil” (CCC 2271) and that direct euthanasia is “morally unacceptable” (CCC 2277).

Elsewhere in their conversation, Carlson and Greene discussed why evangelicals in the United States believe it is their moral duty to support the nation of Israel.

While insisting he is “not mad at Israel” but rather angry with “our leaders who don’t seem to care about the United States,” Carlson told Greene he could not find the modern-day secular nation of Israel mentioned in the Book of Genesis.

Greene, a former Catholic who now says she is a “simple Christian,” agreed with him, noting that nowhere in the Book of Revelation is “the United States” mentioned either.

Carlson has previously expressed interest in Catholicism. He has welcomed on his podcast multiple priests and other clergy, including German Cardinal Gerhard Müller and Bishop Robert Barron.
