North Carolina Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson has been battered for months by his Democratic rival and other adversaries for seeking additional abortion restrictions beyond current state law and for past comments upbraiding women on the issue.
“Abortion in this country is not about protecting the lives of mothers. It’s about killing the child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down," (damn) Robinson said in a Facebook video in 2019, the year before he was elected lieutenant governor in his first bid for public office. He says **** like that...... Yet his own wife had an abortion.
Now Robinson is attempting to shift the broader electorate’s views of him on the issue through empathy with a new commercial starting Friday that describes his wife’s own abortion decades ago and leaves the impression he’s comfortable with the state’s current 12-week ban on most abortions. “Thirty years ago, my wife and I made a very difficult decision. We had an abortion," Robinson says in the ad, adding that it was like a "silent pain between us that we never spoke of."
Hill added: “It's something that stays with me forever.” (Ya, having an abortion is a hard decision for each and every woman. Maybe show some compassion and understanding instead of acting like women are just out murdering babies for fun. Im looking at you Al o meter and many other "conservatives")
