Eh, I’ve heard many people being interviewed on the news, both nationally and locally, and they seem concerned about the comments he makes. They agree with him on many other things though. I can see how this “outreach” would make them more willing to vote for him. There are plenty of people who proudly embrace racism…

Commentor Busslayer upthread summed it up best. It’s not about black voters, it’s about white voters. Specifically, it is about the white voters who are on the fence about casting their ballot for Trump due to his racism. This gives them the “out” they want. It soothes their nerves when they can say he reached out to…

The comments here have been absolutely hilarious. Thank you to all.

Exactly and well said! Countries that have economic downturns typically have lower birth rates. Instead of sanctioning womens reproduction, fix the fucking economy. Like you said, there are many reasons women get abortions/don’t have children and one big one is lack of financial stability or resources. A healthy…

I wish you the very best of luck.

I completely agree.

It’s people like your mother who tell you about the horrors that makes it fascinating. Oral history and first hand accounts are important and needs to be told. People like Mike Pence and the GOP hope that others don’t give a crap about history or those who have suffered before due to these exact policies. Your mother…

You are a fascinating person to discuss this with. Not only was his policy about reproduction horrific for women, the sheer numbers of unwanted children left to wallow in orphanages was staggering. There was nothing “pro-life” about this. Everybody suffered. Whatever similar policy Pence, et al are trying to cram…

Of course. Wasn’t it Jesus himself who said Love Bomb Thy Neighbor?

Was this during the reign of Ceausescu? I have mentioned the horrors he inflicted on women here before and many couldn’t believe it happened, let alone up until the late 1980's.

They sound like GOP standard bearers. Don’t have an abortion because life is so sacred but if you are an unwed mother you are a parasite on society.

I totally agree. Between his unwavering stance on abortion and gay rights, he is the truly terrifying one between the two. He is a Ted Cruz religious zealot but with a slightly more pleasant face.

Stories like this make me angrier than I ever thought possible. Also, remember on November 8th that this is exactly Mike Pence’s platform and has been for years. That “compassionate” conservative wants women to have to go to hell and back to obtain an abortion. You know, days of uncontrolled bleeding, having to…

Money is the best lotion in the world.

I really hope you are right and he takes them all down with him.

To be fair, her glorious breasts was the first thing I noticed as well, then the earrings. Both are spectacular but the earrings are probably more affordable for me. ;-)

You bring up a great question. I suspect it will be President Clinton and former president Clinton. “Mr.” would never be used as all former presidents are addressed as “President”.

Not sure about her being an apologist but yeah, I’m not a fan of who she works for. That said, I’ve worked for corporations I’m not proud of either and it was because the paycheck was excellent.

Yup. I have a former neighbor who is quite religious and even she is angered that religious leaders would rather see a woman die than be allowed to obtain an abortion. Her views on the matter now are along the lines of Tim Kaine’s. She is personally against it but understands other women who have one for whatever…

Yes. That’s what I was pointing out. We are progressing on this front, despite the vocal opposition.
