Discussion: Clinton: Trump Said What All GOPers Believe About Abortion (VIDEO)

Sec. Clinton is exactly correct. The other GOPers are just too craven and cowardly to say it.
And at this point, even the cleaning lady has had it with Trump:

Good for Hillary. This is exactly the right statement.

I would have more respect for the Republicans if they would just admit that, “yes, Donald Trump accidentally uttered the truth: Part of our effort’s goal has always been to criminalize the woman for her part in the murder of the innocent child.”

I wouldn’t agree with them, but at least they’d be telling the truth.

Glad she said it. Time magazine has a great article about this issue. It was very thoughtful and honest. Worth a read if you have a few minutes.

This is reason number 2,689 why I choose Clinton over Sanders. Sanders said this issue wasn’t important. Clinton goes after it and ties the entire Republican Party to it. She gets that reproductive rights are very important, and that it’s not enough to simply dismiss Trump as not serious, we must also show that the rest of the party wholeheartedly agrees with him. This isn’t just about one person winning the WH, it’s about a party sweeping government from the WH to the Supreme Court.

I agree completely. I also think the whole Rump debacle alongside that horrific story out of TX of a woman who was FORCED to carry a stillborn fetus shows the importance of the issue both nationally and on the state level. As far as I’m concerned, this isn’t some kind of ancillary issue that the Dem Party can either choose to deal with or throw under the bus if it falls into the “too hard” category. This is part of a civil rights issue.

Being politically incorrect and telling it like it is was supposed to be The Rump’s most endearing trait to his biggest fans. If political correctness means anything more than a bunch of white men being assholes, then you’ll never see a clearer example than the Matthews interview.

Nailed it. This is precisely what she should be saying about this. More please.

And the funnest part? She’ll catch more flack from the MSM for how “inappropriate” it was for her to say this and generalize in this manner than Derpy-D caught for saying what he said in the first fucking place.

Good link. I think I would’ve mentioned transvaginal ultrasounds, electronic medical records, full-body TSA scanners, cell phone GPS trackers and other technology which makes federal agents fully capable of enforcing whatever abortion restriction Republicans might choose to pass, in ways that agents couldn’t even imagine back in the seventies. We’re just supposed to take their word for it that they won’t go there.

I hadn’t heard about that. Just googled it. I now have sufficient rage to carry me through the day. Maybe even enough to go from loud braying mule to silently brooding. I’m almost nonplussed with the whole thing. SMFH

And I hate to say it, because it sounds like “using,” but her and her husband’s story needs to be told in ads this campaign. Loudly and repeatedly and in a manner that fucking shocks. I hope they come forward if someone approaches them with the idea.

The Christo-fascist right believes God gave us free will so they’d have something to take away from the rest of us. It cannot be allowed to stand.

I am right there with you on this. I actually gagged when I was reading the story, it’s just so sadistic. This didn’t border on torture, it WAS straight up torture.

And you’re 100% on the mark that THIS is where the God botherers have led us to. They try desperately to “cushion” their sadistic ideas so it appears to be some kind of decent behavior when it’s the exact opposite. And yeah, I would hope that after a time when they can heal from this, that they go public and let everyone listening to the sounds of their voices know what happened.

Always, always a mistake. Because they most certainly will…

It’s the conservative way!

They can’t tell the truth because not enough of the country agrees with them. And most of us find their goals objectionable. The last time the Republican Party was frank about it’s agenda was 1968. Since then, they have lied, obfuscated, mislead and agitated. That’s the only way they are still in power.

They are cowards.

“It was outrageous that he would be advocating for women who exercise their constitutional right and have autonomy over their healthcare decisions would be criminals along with the doctors that served them,”

“Republicans who are now embarrassed that he said what they all believe.”

Absolutely!

The Christo-fascist right believes getting knocked up is a “gift” from god…they have no concept of biology or how it works. Sperm meet egg, fertilized egg meet uterine wall.

They think if you’re knocked up regardless if it’s from rape, incest, etc., it’s “gods” will.

What a bunch of crap! OR, they know the difference, but with the god analogy, they have power over women and women’s rights…'cause jesus…
