Yeah, anti-life people like labeling the other side as anti-choice. (See what I did there.)

But you're wrong about nearly everything in your post. My view comes from wanting to protect the rights of the unborn child. Not control of women. And yes, I generally support increased taxpayer-funded health care. So now you've met one.

It’s not a child.

However, I think it should be noted that abortion has been on the decline ever since comprehensive sex Edu has spread and contraception has become more accessible. Things that anti-choice people incessantly attack. Which again, reveals that the issue isn’t about lowering abortion rates, but controlling women. If abortion truly was the issue, then the anti-choice crowd would be calling for comprehensive sex edu and easily accessible contraception from the rooftops!
 
How isn’t this libel? How does this help K? Is this supposed to win support?

 
-So Dr. Ford says she will testify next week, just can't be Monday. Apparently they are negotiating at this point.

-Republicans are hiring an independent council to direct questions at Dr. Ford if she testifies. Republicans will not have to be seen on camera questioning the woman. Trying to duck and hide here I imagine.

-No statute of limitations on filing a criminal complaint in Md. if Dr. Ford ever wanted to choose that route, including when Kavanaugh was on the Supreme Court.

Well I'm going to go ahead and take the word of people who actually have to deal with the trauma of sexual violence over someone who thinks they are just being 'too sensitive.'

Yikes

That question is implicit in all of the Republican defenses of the Supreme Court nominee.

The accusation amounts to “a little hiccup,” says Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.); a “drive-by shooting,” says Sen. Lindsay O. Graham (R-S.C.); and. generally speaking, a cheap “smear,” according to many other Kavanaugh enthusiasts.

Yes, which is why I used the term "unborn child" instead of just "child". But "it" is not an "it", either, like an inanimate object, as you referred to the fetus. He or she is a prospective child, and as such deserves our protection in all but the extreme cases (such as rape, as I mentioned earlier).

Fwiw I've never been against sex ed. And you claiming that the pro-life crowd is all about controlling women is just like the other side claiming the anti-life* crowd is murdering babies. Both views are disgraceful and trivialize the discussion.

*Yes, for every post that you use the phrase anti-choice, I'm going to use the phrase anti-life.
 
I don't think it's fair to paint all anti abortionists with the broad brush of them all being anti-contraceptive and against sex Ed. But those folk do make up a large part of the right wing power structure that is ascendant in American politics right now.

Find me a single anti-choice congressperson who also supports comprehensive sex education and accessibility (even if it’s taxpayer funded) contraception. :D

I understand that you might not be as rigid as others. But when the GOP’s entire platform, every congressperson, and every republican of importance emphasizes taking away choice without emphasizing education and contraception, it’s pretty obvious then what the root of the issue is about.

It’s looking more and more like K has helped his buddy craft this smear campaign. If K was involved in any way he needs to be immediately disqualified from serving on the SC and charged with libel.

The more and more I read about K the angrier I get. Sound like he bragged nonstop about being a “100 kegger” guy and having 3-somes.

His lack of character fits perfectly with Trump’s deplorable GOP.

 
Someone plz answer, if you’re guilty of fabricating this whole accusation of rape, why would you demand that it be investigated by the FBI? If you’re innocent, why wouldn’t you want this to be investigated to clear your name and bring to justice the person who falsely accused you?

Can anyone answer me this?

I was just about to post this. This is Orrin Hatch's Deputy Chief of Staff and Communications Director:


This is starting to get very out of control.
