re: #218 Mattand

Along that lines, here’s an e-mail someone sent to Josh Marshall at TPM about this.

I’m pro-choice, but being a guy, I can still be a bit clueless about women’s health issues. One thing the e-mail’s author brought up is that with bills like this, Republicans often demand that a woman be forced to carry a non-viable/dead fetus to term.

That’s horrific. This is why I call the current GOP the American Taliban. The sheer lack of humanity it takes to write and vote for a bill like this is frightening.

Again, if you’re voting for the GOP, this is what you endorse. If you can disconnect your empathy towards other human beings like these politicians, there’s something wrong with you.

Another thing that wingnuts insist is that women choose “adoption.” They can not possibly comprehend the lifelong trauma of carrying a child to term, giving birth, hearing it cry, maybe hold it once and then never see it again.
