Abortion is not a dirty word and Planned Parenthood isn’t a McDonald’s and the GOP can go F**K itself

"Despite porn stars and Playboy models, white evangelicals aren’t rejecting Trump. This is why.

"...Pompeo says God may have sent Trump to save Israel from Iran -"
Pompeo and the rest.

[...]

The more someone believed the United States is — and should be — a Christian nation, the more likely they were to vote for Trump"

Margaret honey, nothing pisses me off more than when a man has an opinion about something he knows nothing about. And one thing for damn sure a man knows nothing about is what’s in a woman’s mind and heart when she is making a decision about whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. It’s called an abortion. It’s not a dirty word. It’s legal. It’s a woman’s right. It’s personal. A woman can choose to have one or not. And damn it, there is no such thing as a post-birth abortion unless you’re talking about the death penalty (which is a whole nother GOP lie).

The fact that the GOP has a talking point about post-birth abortions tells you all you need to know about how stupid the GOP is and how stupid they think voters are. If you can’t make your case with the truth then do you really have a case?

INSERT:
Republicans pound abortion ‘infanticide’ message

Democrats say the GOP arguments are inflammatory and inaccurate, but Republicans are already seizing on the issue in their 2020 strategy.

Republicans’ amped-up focus on so-called late term abortions has brought new energy to the issue for their conservative base — forcing Democrats to respond to rhetoric about infanticide.

The GOP plans to keep at the message through the 2020 election...

[...]
“This is red meat to their base,” Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) said of Republicans pushing the bill. “They just continue to put out these kinds of factually wrong anti-choice amendments and bills. So we have to continue to fight back.”

Democrats argue that current law already protects infants, and that Republicans are creating a false narrative about doctors routinely allowing healthy, full-term babies to die, when in fact abortions late in pregnancy are rare and most involve severe fetal anomalies or risks to the life of the mother. Under the legislation, they warn, doctors could risk a felony conviction if they don’t hospitalize and resuscitate a newborn who is only going to live for a few hours, possibly in pain.

Supporters openly admit the “Born Alive” bill, S. 311, has no chance of passage in the current Congress, but they will keep pushing the legislation, using graphic narratives about violence against newborns. Some of the imagery is reminiscent of the battle — which Republicans ultimately won a decade ago — to outlaw so-called partial birth abortion.

There is indeed something called a late-term abortion. It’s not pretty. It’s not happy. It’s usually the last choice, but it is a choice a woman sometimes makes. And if you knew anything about why a woman might have to make that choice, you would be questioning your faith in God before you would be questioning the choice of that woman.

Contrary to what our asshat of a President and his confederacy of dunces think, women don’t pull up to a Planned Parenthood and order up an abortion like it’s a Big Mac. No one at Planned Parenthood takes our request for a pregnancy test and tries to upsize us to an abortion and some fries. Women make this decision with a great deal of thought, prayer and consultation with our loved ones and our doctors.

I am an old woman. I don’t like the f-word. I didn’t use that word until the orange asshat arrived. But on this topic, you bet your sweet ass I’ll use it. FUCK YOU GOP for continuing to politicize this deeply personal decision that should be left between a woman and her doctor. Get your lies out of our government and get your politics out of our vaginas. And while you are at it, why don’t you get those children at the border out of those cages. I mean it. Really.

Good ol' Helen.

Add: FUCK YOU to those who continue to support the hater of the rule of law, dissembler president.

America suffers. The world suffers. Humanity suffers as long as he occupies his only - he wishes - pseudo-sincerely religious White House.
