I have no problem with Trump’s initial proposal to punish women for having abortions. He’s merely being ideologically consistent.

Agreed. Trump is all kinds of bad, but I can... “appreciate” him in a certain way because the idiotic things he bleats out are actually pretty much just the GOP platform: fuck the non-rich, non-male, and non-white.

I actually consider what Trump said to be way more intellectually honest than the party-line bullshit about women being victims of abortion-pushing MDs. That’s what he’s doing, he’s laying their bullshit bare for all to see by taking it all to the logical conclusions.

Yes, fucking thank you!! Obviously I think this is horrifying and dystopian, but honestly, if you believe abortion is murder yet the murderer shouldn’t be punished, you are a hypocrite. All the anti-choicers who are complaining about Trump’s “fringe” views are revealing their position for what it has been all along: a…

“HE made comments and SHE resigned?”

HE made comments and SHE resigned?

He’s just suggesting the same punishment as you get for breaking other laws. Not all laws, just the best laws. That’s the punishment you should get for having an abortion, whatever the punishment for the best laws is.

Counterpoint: Donald’s mother should’ve been punished for NOT having an abortion.

Seems to me that he’s just going with whatever his crazy masses want to hear. He’s the ultimate salesman.

Thus proving that Trump is, as everyone has been saying, the inevitable end-result of Republican policies for the last few decades. He’s so dangerous, but I actually love that he is saying out loud the things that the GOP has stood for for years, exposing their true beliefs. They kept saying, “No! It’s about the lives…

Yes, tell me some more, SUSAN, why progressives who are upset if Bernie doesn’t get the nomination should vote Trump or stay home. Oh wait, how bout instead you just go fuck yourself.

what about his other sons?

You can get the abortion pill in Alabama. Trust me. You’ve been able to do so for almost 15 years.

The anesthesia law kicks in at 20 weeks, and you can’t have a medication abortion that late anyway.

What fucking sucks is that if progressives like you get your way, we’ll be re-fighting formerly settled social and public policy issues all over again and we STILL won’t get out of any wars because that shit’s being brought to our front door and is unavoidable. The most you can do is limit US exposure but you can’t…

How is it “very clear” there will be war? A vote for Clinton is about 99% likely to be a vote for a continuation of the past 8 years. And those past 8 years, while not perfect and disappointing at times, are a fuckton of miles beyond better than what would have happened if we had continued another 8 years of W.

People who want to make sure they have an ideologically pure voting record at the expense of real people getting hurt by letting a Republican win really make my heart hurt.

Yeah, Susan, the idea is to progress without The Actual By God Blood-in-the-Streets Revolution. You want Trump picking some Supreme Court justices and pushing the entirety of progress back by a couple generations?

This is such a wildly privileged opinion. Real people will get hurt under Trump. SCOTUS will be changed. Laws will be passed. The military will be deployed, affecting people around the globe. I get that you want a different political system but this is the one we live in. Don’t throw others under the bus in your quest…

Oh, v good point! Guns and heroin are totally the same. And let’s make murder legal, while we’re at it, since the fact that it’s illegal doesn’t prevent people from murdering each other! Very good ideas, my man.
