Republicans must be relying on voters having amnesia in '18.
That’s what the leaded drinking water is for…

What sniffit said. PP already ensures that no federal money goes to abortions; the republicans then insisted that doctors not even be allowed to mention the existence of abortion (which courts respectfully nuked). If PP did some kind of split, the goalposts would just move again. What, some people work for both organizations? They share medical records? Their buildings are in the same zip code? Let’s just face it: conservative republicans hate women.

He’s thinking about running again, but he’s in a bad spot, because 7D was recently gerrymandered (2011) to benefit Lance even more.
It could also be a do-over influence test for Bernie Sanders, due to Jacob getting his endorsement last year.

No, it’s not a good compromise at all. This is just a way of piecing off people who think that women are ‘getting away with something’ by terminating their pregnancies, when actually it is none of their business.
There are a lot of women’s health problems related to childbirth that include the choice of whether they should have an abortion or not like infections, preeclampsia or heart failure. I’ll bet you obstetricians could come up with a list of several more once they thought about it. This notion that pregnancy is no real fucking problem is a load of bullshit so big you’d need a couple of trains to haul it away.

Or perhaps a prenatal dental clinic. There are many things that can be done for a fetus. But this guy mentioned none of them. But that ends the snark. It’s a medical procedure used by women only and he shouldn’t have said word one.
We have enough anticipatory fear of what a new, mostly conservative SCOTUS could do on this issue and that’s scary. Don’t need an asshat with no medical qualifications to open his yap.

I’d like to hear about one solitary instance ever in human history when somebody dreamed up a simple, easy solution that nobody had ever thought of before to some besetting social controversy. You’d think it would have happened at least once, since almost anything can happen at least once, but I sure can’t come up with one off the top of my head.

It’s time for me to send Leonard Lance of NJ a free fax. Thanks to whoever turned me on to this tool. The website, that is, not the critter.

You mean a solution that involved all the different sides of the debate still being alive and living in the same place with their property intact?

Yeah, a simple, easy solution that’s also non-disastrous. It’s harder to achieve than some people think.

“If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.”

@sysprog Lance is not even on the job, he’s on a two-week recess. That’s okay with me. The less they’re in Washington, the less harm they’ll do.

This ass never once responded to his constituents, he simply repeated what he originally said over and over. How can people put up with such disrespect from an elected official.

Doubtful on the coattails. There hasn’t been a D politician in NJ with personal popularity since the early days of Bill Bradley.
Lance will have to blow it on his own.

He’ll lose next time. He’s brain dead, and has approved every Trump scheme proposed.
Would he like to do that to Faith Based Initiatives so those working for the church can’t take a salary from running the “charity” paid by tax dollars?
I’ve had that quote posted in my bathroom for 40 years. My kids grew up knowing EXACTLY where I stood on the issue!

Donate to Planned Parenthood. The way to respond to Trump and his gang of misogynists.

You’ve probably seen Gloria’s wonderful treatise on men getting a menstrual period and how they’d be treated. It’s very long, but it shows she’s always understood how special they think they are.
