“There’s no effort here to try to restrict a woman’s right to have an abortion,” she told WRAL. “What we’re trying to do is make her care competent.”
These people are incapable of telling the truth.

Wouldn’t this contradict the exalted supply side Laffer curve that conservatives expouse.
Yes, more little taxpayers - if we can just keep them from trying to vote…

So…now everybody’s a taxpayer. I’m confused. Wasn’t her party maligning folks not so long ago for being 47% damn dirty moochers? I’m surprised the R party doesn’t support abortion full stop; you know, get rid of the poors they despise so much.

When I was a kid, I lived in the mill town that Norma Rae would later try to organize. Back in those days, it was fairly prosperous in a small-town kind of way: it had its own newspaper, it had a brand-new public library where I spent my summer mornings, and a great big recreation center with a pool where I spent my summer afternoons. Of course, I didn’t really realize that the colored people had to live in the town across the tracks, and that some of those millworkers lived in houses even older and more rundown than the one we lived in, but still, for a free-range kid from first to fourth grade, it was a pretty damn cool place to grow up.
Its about abortion because its about abortion, that is all that there is to it.
How about insuring more big billionaire taxpayers by not allowing foreign tax shelters?
I grew up in Manhattan and one of my lasting memories is what would happen on Friday night when the rabbi from the synagogue next to my apartment building would come up to one of us kids playing on the street, offer us a dime to turn off the lights in the synagogue because orthodox Jews cannot use electricity after sundown Friday. My dad was Jewish, I was not, but that memory is an important one from my childhood. I probably didn’t stop to think that there were small towns where kids lived very differently than I did.

When I hear something like “we will improve the quality of women’s reproductive healthcare by restricting or delaying access to abortion,” I can’t help thinking of that old saw, “the beatings will continue until morale improves.” If McElraft disapproves of abortion, why doesn’t she say so outright? Could it be that if she did that, she would find out how few women really agree with her?
Her motives have nothing to do with “little taxpayers” or better women’s healthcare; she wants to grant herself and other conservatives the raw power to control a fundamental aspect of the lives of women.
It’s not about “little taxpayers”; it’s about “barefoot and pregnant.” But you’ll never hear an honest expression of that motive from a Republican.
GOPs/Republicans War on Women .
WRAL, where Jesse Helms got his start. Anything to keep from increasing taxes on those who can most afford to pay them, the rich.
we know at least 51% of the people who voted in her district are dumbasses, so they pretty much get the ill-functioning gov’t they deserve.
She can definitely “multitask” when it comes to spewing platitudes and contradicting herself. Lay down with pigs and all you get is dirty the Good Book says…elect idiots and you get idiocy. Someone please write that on a few bathroom walls.
