While the United States is still rocked with the Black lives Matter protests demanding justice and action against racism, US President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign has put up a baby onesie to promote its anti-abortion movement with BLM logo edited to say ‘Baby Lives Matter’. Not only the internet users have called it “sickening” but the Trump campaign has debuted the product for $18 as “limited edition”. The product description says, “Proudly show you’re investing in your baby’s future to Make America Great Again with this incredibly soft, boutique-style one-piece.”
Donald Trump is also the first US President in history to speak at the march which is an annual protest in Washington against abortion rights since Roe v. Wade decision was handed down in 1973 legalising abortion effectively in the country. According to international media reports, the spokesperson for the Trump campaign has declined to comment on the new product but has confirmed that they were offered in conjunction with the ‘March for Life’. The sale of these onesies is still on despite the unrest prevailing in the country for more than two weeks now triggered by the death of 46-year-old African American George Floyd in police custody.
