This issue hits close to home for me. A little history in the fight for abortion rights for me personally. My Mother worked for PP as a Nurse Practitioner in the 70’s and helped open the first clinic across from ASU in Tempe, AZ. The uproar and media coverage was outrageous, but PP prevailed. My Father was on the board of PP and hired my future stepmom who became director of Northern/Central AZ PP in the late 70’s., who then became the CEO of PP in the mid 90’s.
Death threats where a “normal” occurrence during these years. The anti-choice people were extremely violent and they would picket out front of my Father’s home. Law enforcement did little to keep them away. Once my stepmom became CEO of PP International they moved to NYC where the home offices of PP International is located. They moved into an apartment with high security, sold their home in AZ and bought an apartment here with high security. The fear was real and we always took precautions for safety.
Those in the anti-choice movement are vile, nasty and extreme. There is no such thing as abortion right before or after birth. Anyone with any amount of smarts would know that is a complete lie.
There is no such thing of a women walking into a clinic in the 3rd trimester of her healthy pregnancy and asking for an abortion just because she decided she didn’t want to be pregnant anymore. “Abortions” in the second/third trimester are very rare and only because the fetus has died, or has such severe anomalies that it won’t survive outside the womb. When this happens, the women is induced and goes through the pain of labor to deliver. The fetus( now a birthed baby) is cared for if it survives the birth until it passes, it is not murdered. It is severely detrimental to the women’s health if the fetus dies in utero, therefore, “abortion” is necessary for the life of the mother.
So, there you go. Those are the facts.
I’m so sick of the lies and distortions about this issue. Personal privacy is at stake regarding many issues involving sexuality. We must vote these people out of office and make sure ALL people can live their lives without government interference.
What do you think the Vegas Over/Under line is on how many abortions Trump's paid for in order to keep the kidlings limited to only five? The corollary bet is how many of those did he skip out of paying for?

Trump is certainly, desperate , dangerous & deranged. The next thing we may see with regard to his money making schemes , as he compares himself to Mandela and JC , could easily be his company selling an effigy of himself crucified to the cross at $49.99 each , that should go down well with his cult followers who see him as the returned Messiah being "persecuted "by a modern day Pontius Pilate judicial system.
Here's my comment on the Times article this morning: "Seems to me the logical question would be, how many abortions have you paid for in your lifetime."
Leaving up to the states something so essential to human rights as abortion rights, is maddening. Why should women living in red states have less rights than women living in blue states? Remember when gay couples could marry in Massachusetts, but not in Florida? Remember when the federal government disallowed married gay couples from receiving any federal benefits of marriage? In reality, though, when the conservatives on SCOTUS dissolved Roe, they didn't really ban abortion rights for all women in red Republican states - they banned abortion for POOR women in red states. Women from Republican states with the resources to travel to a Democratic-run state will always be able to access their reproductive needs. Republican legislation curtailing abortion rights are practically speaking only bans on abortion for poor women in Republican states.
This appears to be an exercise in gaslighting your own tribe who will have to prove their loyalty by letting you get away with utter bullshite. Those of us who know trrumpanzee better are quite aware that he is a lousy prevaricator. Note the only accomplishments in 4 years was the tax cuts and court packing (in which Mitch The Turtle was a willing accomplice). I also know that women will be the reason he's not returned to the WH. Is it me or was this a terrible hostage video?
Drumpf is the REASON Roe V. Wade was overturned. He's a chronic liar; all we need to see are his flubs, his inability to put a coherent sentence together and the hateful rallies he speaks at. Showcase his hypocrisy and convictions and autocratic behavior so any rational person would never consider voting for him.
what makes me sick, is who the hell is he to talk about women's health, or any man for that matter? I never understood how these laws are made by mostly men, who do not have uteruses. And he is the worst example of someone with morals. And I still to this day would like to know what women would let him put his grubby hands on them, without getting decked?? I don't know any woman that would allow this?? so, once again he is all talk and no action!! #roevember!!!
I would sooner buy swampland in Florida or one of the bridges in NYC from a swindler before I would put faith in any comment or "promise" that Trump utters. Once again, doing or saying anything that will help him get elected.
I guess we've also reached the point in which Trump has to release taped messages, which probably took multiple takes to get right. No more stump speeches and rallies where random disconnected thoughts are spewed. He's already said that windmills result in dead birds and injured whales. Can anyone direct me to a bookie that will take my bet on when Trump starts saying that banning windmills would result in no woman ever needing to have an abortion ever again?

Cut to the chase: ‘All about winning elections.’ Women are not stupid; he will sign a national abortion ban if elected!
So: a vote for Biden is women’s suffrage, a vote for TFG,RFK Jr, staying home would be a vote for women’s suffer-age! VOTE BIDEN!
There's only one thing for sane, freedom loving Americans to do in November:
Abort RepubliKKKans.

Every jounralist should be asking every republican candidate about the Comstock Act and their position on it. Make it an issue.

“Oh, he’s pivoting. He’s definitely pivoting”. One small thing many wingers are forgetting, women never forget ! November BLOW OUT !!

I still don't understand how Republicans can be both malevolent and STUPID!
I'm completely lost here, but Republicans should be too STUPID! to keep racking up victories like this.
Also, in case you're not aware of my point, it's that Republicans are STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!
Wow, that Biden ad is brutal. Let's be sure every American voter sees it.
