The SCOTUS ruling has nothing to do with abortion....In recent news, Donald Trump got snookered by Chris Matthews with a hypothetical question about abortion. Chris got Donald to say that women should be punished if abortion was illegal.
For his entire campaign, Donald has seemed impervious to PC, until now. Now all of a sudden people seem to care about their abortion rights as it has negatively effected Donald in the polls. For you see, those who support Trump in large part are not really conservatives. They just want someone to kick start the economy and restore order at the border, so the abortion issue is like salt in their wounds because these same people don't want to be held financially responsible for their reproductive actions. For you see, all they care about is their money, just like Donald. In response, Trump has back peddled and said the question was a "gottcha" moment, which it was, but now refuses to talk about it other than saying he thinks it should be a state right issue.
Then enters Hillary. Hillary comes out and talks about the unborn as an "unborn person" and "unborn child". Big mistake in terms of the psychology of word play. She now is taking flack from both happy go lucky abortionists and those who oppose abortion. She then comes out and says that the "unborn children" have no Constitutional rights, BUT she thinks that there should be restrictions on abortion in the third trimester.
Wait.....wut?
What I find the most hilarious of all is that I know neither candidate gives much of a damn about the abortion issue, and it shows. Their lack of introspective rigor on the issue is shining before us, as both slide down in the polls. Their half/half squeamish stance on abortion is on full display for all to see.
Abortion doesn't belong anywhere on a political platform, it is a U.S. Supreme court issue that was settled 45 years ago. It's a woman's right to choose--and a woman has been able to choose for 45 years now. It was a right leaning court that gave us Roe V Wade and it's been a right leaning court for the last several decades.
The Republican party is really the party that commits political suicide over abortion, and in fact, it's the reason why Romney lost. Romney being moderate on abortion, giving all 3 exceptions didn't help him. As Romney's fate was sealed long before he even became the nominee of the party. Reich wingers turned the platform into abortion, that then went into who's not going to pay for birth control pills, that then went into what is legal--legitimate rape questions. This sent women (the largest voting block) running into Obama's column by double digits, younger women by 36 points.
Why Romney Lost And Republicans Keep Losing
The GOP's woman problem goes beyond Trump
Gender Gap in 2012 Vote Is Largest in Gallup's History
Not learning anything from the loss in 2012, Republicans lined the stage with several Knuckle dragging Neanderthals again in 2016. All designed to get that Reich wing Evangelical vote. None of them could have ever won the White House, based on their extreme abortion stance. Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Scott Walker, Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal. Every one of them was unelectable because they would never attract women voters. Carly Fiorina fell on the abortion sword while campaigning on baby body parts, that turned out to be a fraudulent video coming out of abortion activists in Texas. Then 3 murders in Colorado Springs at a planned parenthood office, and she was done. Even though she was moderate on abortion, giving the 3 exceptions, abortion was the fatal blow to her campaign.
No politician can do anything to change a U.S. Supreme court ruling, regardless of how much they campaign or talk about it. If they tell you they can, they're lying to you. And it's really no ones business if you're pro-life, or pro-choice. Abortion is not even a party line issue. There are Republicans that are pro-choice as there are Democrats that are pro-choice. There are Republicans that a pro-life as there are Democrats that are pro-life.
As long as the Republican party continues to campaign on abortion, they will continue to lose National elections from here on out. There is no candidate that can win the Oval office if they don't give all 3 exceptions--(for the life of the mother, rape & incest.)
We are coming, and with Trumps SCOTUS, you fucking libtard baby killers will be stopped....
