It is a challenge to find any policy on which there are actually crazier and less defensible positions than Trumpâs, but this might be it. (Of course, he may simply be afraid of entirely losing the votes of women, so it may be a matter of personal preservation and nothing more.)
So lust objects should be spared?
So these republicans want us to think they are with women since they think this ban âgoes too farâ eh? The republicans have been trying to overturn Roe since it was first decided. Now, they want us to see them as the good guys since they are saying rape and incest should be exceptions???!!! Thatâs what theyâve always said, and it is still their same position. They still donât want women to have any choice in the matter at all, and they havenât softened that stance. Donât allow them to make you think they are being more reasonable than those who voted for this abortion ban. They are not!! They are still trying to take away a womanâs right to make decisions regarding her own body. They are still making that choice themselves. Reject that entire idea.
Based on my own observations of the man over the years, I donât think he cares one whit about abortion, except insofar as he and his cronies have paid for these services for the unfortunate women they have impregnated. As a wannabe king, I could see him with a âRoyal Abortionistâ in the palace. His fetus fetishist followers would grudgingly accept this âcompromiseâ position and the press would happily report it that way while scolding women and the Democratic party for being stubborn.
How does a man considering Pardons for war criminals and accepting of torture and murder of individuals (Khashoggi) get to be considered âpro-lifeâ? And on what earth does anyone think he really gives a shit about fetuses and embryos?
âTrumpâs attitude toward abortion has apparently shifted over the yearsâ
Nah, it shifted in a second.
These two exceptions are designed specifically for people like Trump.
Blastulas! Once itâs a blastula, better start saving up for Harvard tuition and open up a money market account in its name.
Someone explained to him that if the Supremes overturn Roe v. Wade at any time in his first term heâs fucked.
He doesnât care whether abortion is legal or not. He cares about being re-elected.
Trump also added: âAnd every broad I ever knocked up who had an abortion, her life was in danger.â
Probably in more ways than she realizedâŚ
Banning abortions, but making exceptions for rape and incest, has never been a rational, supportable position. You ban abortions because you think fetuses are human life, and shouldnât be condemned to death, regardless of the needs of the woman. So, are the fetuses that result from rape or incest guilty of a capital offense? Why are these lives expendable? âWell, because of the needs of the woman, of course.â But I thought your position was that the needs of the woman are inferior to the needs of the fetus. Make up your frigginâ mind.
âWe need to have exceptions for rape, incest, mistresses, and that hot chick down the street I want to bang. But thatâs it.â
Yeah, I think the âapparentlyâ is a bit too subtle for most readers âŚ
He does. Heâd be a dad a few more times if not for it.
They wonât âoverturnâ - theyâll just continue to kill it by a thousand cuts, although these new blatant and cruel bans have made it harder for Roberts to pretend that heâs âmodifyingâ it. Just like a war with Iran will be a âdisagreement.â Luckily, the deranged pro-lifers will proclaim the overturning from the rooftops and they wonât be able to escape it.
If only they could tell the gender of the fetus at six weeks ⌠that might help determine which motherâs life is in danger.
Certainly anyone pro-life who isnât alarmed now isnât paying attention. Youâve got very small but highly focused minorities driving the passage of these laws.
ETA ACK pro-choice sorry waking up slow today.
