Plus, only he and four other governors (out of 50 affected) made the unconscionable choice to force seniors below sea level.
So if a hurricane struck New York and it killed over 30,000 people (including thousands of seniors who were forced below sea level), but then the governor built a sea wall afterwards saying he fixed the problem, would this be considered a huge success?

one thing a Harris run will do is focus attention back on the wildly extreme, nearly unique (globally speaking), pro-abortion ethos that has captured the Democratic party. it is a truly barbaric approach, especially relative to other civilized counties. no way to spin it.
1️⃣ Harris refuses to name a single limit on abortion she supports. Even when a reporter asked if she was okay with Roe being interpreted as a 20-24-week limit, she said, “No, no, no.“
Not at 37 weeks or 38 or 39 – or even 40.

In IVF, embryos are routinely discarded because they have genetic disabilities like Down syndrome.
Then when couples are done implanting embryos, most discard the rest of those embryos.

It is precisely the opposite.

Most don't even know what Roe is or how it relates to abortion law.
Nor do they know how wildly extreme the Dem position is on abortion actually is.
77% of Americans want to keep Roe v. Wade. 83% want to keep the ACA’s protection for people with pre-existing conditions. These two health care issues — will shape the fights for all three branches of government in this election.

Continue to marvel at abortion's ability to make otherwise thoughtful people to lose contact with reality. It is, of course, the working classes who are most anti-abortion while it is the economically privileged classes who are most pro-abortion. And corporations LOVE abortion.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez argues that abortion is a part of the class struggle and that pro-lifers want to help corporations maintain a large workforce.

the fact that anyone can think pro-lifers aren't for procedures which remove a dead baby safely from her mother beggars belief. the pro-life movement has its problems, to be sure, and these include communications. but, my God, how could someone actually come to believe this?

You're quite intelligent and quite urbane, and those are the circles in which you live.
There are other circles out there which are rabidly anti-abortion without reason, and who would absolutely blanket condemn the procedure.
