Facts? Data? Truth? Why let them stand in the way?

There is all kinds of disturbing things a normal person could say about this report, but something that is fact based is that abortions are at their lowest rates since Roe v Wade. That kind of knocks this report as being totally unhinged.

Well, “facts” would have to come from “universities” and "“social scientists” and “researchers” and we know how biased they are. Besides, it’s easier to listen to the voices in one’s head to get supporting information! Better yet, just pull then out of your ass!

It was probably a click bait item on Brietbart, that got cleansed - er - discussed on Fox and Friends - and made it’s way to Navarro’s ear who put it out as a statement/rationale - with zero research.

These folks can’t even master google - let alone the massive research at their fingertips in the entire Executive branch of our government.

A classic “post hoc, ergo propter hoc” logical fallacy.

This is one of the far right’s favorite logical fallacies—but they use them all, because without them they have nothing to offer.

Withdrawal is the GOP solution to all social ills. Pull out of NAFTA and abortions, divorce, infertility, and opioid abuse magically go away.

So weird to have the GOP go on about the ‘decline in US manufacturing’.
After a lifetime of union baiting and blaming American workers; a lifetime of greasing the skids for international corporations in their search for cheap labor.

Don’t people remember?

post hoc doen’t fit though. If abortions went up as manufacturing declined you could post that fallacy. But as manufacturing declined so did abortion. So if you address the numbers as they really are the only post hoc you could offer is manufacturing caused abortion.

It’s not unreasonable there is a social cost, when manufacturing moves overseas - and somebody will try to frame that, in a way fitting their purpose (looking at Pence)…

Undoubtedly true. Especially if the decline is in production of condoms and birth-control devices and medications.

Trump has surrounded himself with ignoramus crackpots, and some military types he likes because they’re “tough.” Yet his adoring fans still follow blindly! Here’s a short blog post that explains why:

Hope you enjoy it!
