Roll Call’s Melinda Henneberger was able to get something out of the leader of the Nancy Pelosia (D-Ca) home minority: California’s congressmen is not on demand. However, this is a piece of bizarro theater, which reflects how abortion has become Linczpin for the Democratic Party. In addition, you decide whether he thinks that there should be boundaries of abortion (via Connection) [emphasis mine]:
When asked about a 20-week ban, Pelosia replied: “Let me say that; I am a Catholic, pious, practicing Catholic. In my faith I comfort great comfort, I come from a very Catholic family, largely pro-life. I had five children, and the day was born my fifth child, my oldest turned 6 years senior, so I am with the program in terms of the Catholic Church. However, if there is one problem, which really – I try to be dispassionate about how we find solutions – if There is one issue that really is almost inflammation for women, is when politicians say that we will influence the size and time of your family; We will decide what is right for you. …
“Most of those cases that we hear over 20 weeks are painful For families – painful for families – but it does not depend on politicians in Washington to decide; It’s between women and their doctors. “
So legislators should never set any abortion restrictions?
“NO,” She said: “I don’t believe in abortion on demand, I do not believe in abortion on demand. I am talking about the health of the mother and child and this is not a decision that a politician should make. It’s about a woman’s judgment. It’s about respect – respect – for women. Sometimes I wonder if Republican men who are here even know what is happening in their own families, because the fact is that birth control and birth control is used – I do not believe that abortion is a form of birth or contraception control – and if you want to reduce The number of abortion in our country, you should love contraception, but not. “
By raising her finger in admonition, she said: “It is really important not to change the topic back to abortion; They do not believe in contraception and family planning. They don’t believe it. “
Now it seems that Pelosia does two things and fails in them unfortunately. By tilting the abortion question to tear republicans for their alleged lack of support in the field of birth control and birth control, at the same time incredibly rude and pompous about comments on the sexual history of the families of her colleagues on the hill. Pelosia cannot convince everyone that the pill or condoms are like candy of nature, so he must unnecessarily put the Republican family in the crosshair. Shouldn’t families be unlimited, especially with these nonsense? At the same time, all this problem is irrelevant; I will come back to it in a second.
Secondly, he is against abortion on demand? The former speaker found himself under the siege through all sides with these comments. First of all, this frail sauce was not mounted by Ashley McGuire from Catholic Association:
“In a stunning interview for Melinda Henneberger Nancy Pelosia, he manages to offend women and American intelligence. He claims that at the same time he opposes all abortion restrictions and opposes abortion on demand. Her position is completely beyond a step with an average American who opposes the abortion and taxpayers’ funds for abortion. The overwhelming majority opposes her support for abortion after 20 weeks.
Even Lararal Pro-Choice America was not satisfied with these comments because she devoted antenna time to this “twisted calls”:
“At a time when our rights are attacked every day in Congress rooms, on the campaign trail, in the United States and Courts, now more than ever, we need our masters to talk to a clear and strong voice for our right to abortion,” said the senior statement Vice President Naral Sasha Bruce. “Unfortunately, the last comments of Pelosia’s leader do not know this standard.
“The leader should stop using the twisted GOP talks about abortion and birth control. We do not know women who demand abortion or operate abortion as a birth control. We know women who make thoughtful decisions about how and whether they want to start a family and need access to all reproductive health care services, including abortion. We are convinced that he is also a leader, which makes her comments even more disturbing.
“Time and again, the leader of Pelosia was struggling with women and our reproductive rights. But at the moment when there are so many stakes, her comments are particularly disappointing and poorly delivered. “
The Pelosi office tried to explain:
“ROE against Wade confirmed the woman’s right to make her own reproductive health care decisions. The leader of Pelosia referred to the fact that abortions in later pregnancy are not guaranteed as part of ROE against Wade, with limited exceptions, such as protecting mother’s life or health. Trying to go to the right of the woman to choose from, the Republicans of the Chamber voted in favor of imposing a nationwide ban on abortion after 20 weeks without a significant exception to protect the mother of the mother. “
However, let’s not fool ourselves, even if exceptions such as rape, incest and mother’s life were included in the fresh bill prohibiting abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy – Democrats are still voting against it. Democrats are simply too much money, bottom -up support and other campaign resources, if they endure those proaborts who probably do not care about abortion on demand; They want it to be financed by taxpayers at least. The previous position is simply not politically mature yet, considering 60 percent of Americans Women support the ban on abortion after 20 weeks.
Currently, Planned Parenthood is preparing for the war with Republicans this year. After months of negative press and congress hearings, the largest abortion supplier in the country begins offensively with an $ 20 million effort to support the pro -abortion candidate win in November. In order to support them with this effort, Planned Parenthood, which we all know, is one of the many groups allied with the Democratic Party, he took advantage of the turnover that the Political Security Director of the Safety Safety Ground will strengthen his chances of electoral success (through electoral success (through electoral success (through election success (through success Electoral (by
Dawn Lagens, executive director of the Parenthood Action Fund, said that the group is focusing not only on the presidential race, but also on the key races of the Senate.
“To be honest, the radical nature of the republican field and basic is to introduce real dynamics in the Senate races … that I think that some people will not necessarily be there, putting such people [New Hampshire Republican Sen. Kelly] Ayotte in a really difficult place, “said Laguens.
Planned parenting intends to actively engage in key battles, such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire, Colorado and Nevada. Laguens said that this year the group will spend at least $ 20 million on political activities. In 2012, planned parenting spent $ 15 million on elections.
The healthcare group for women also raises its internal talents, bringing Matt Burgess, the national political director at Evertown for Gun Safety, as a political director. Laguens said that Burgess was an attractive rental because he has a story working on women’s issues – he previously worked in the political department of the Emily list – and origin in key states of the battlefield. Burgess managed the campaign of the democratic Senator Al Franken in Minnesota, and also led the Maggie Hassan campaign for the Governor in New Hampshire. Hassan, a democrat, now works against Ajotte for the granite senate.
So there are people. The question is: can Republicans run a virtually no gaff cycle, just like in mid -2014, or will they fuck the royal in a painful repetition of 2012? It is completely possible.
Last remark: The issue of contraception is not any harassing republicans. As Guy noted during the liberal hysteria of the Lobby Post Hobby in 2014, there is almost zero controversy about the moral acceptability of contraception with republican voters. To manage Donald Trump, the “huge” most democrats, republicans and independent (90/87/89 percent, respectively) believe that the operate of birth control is fine. Do you know what does not get high ratings? Miscarriage. Twenty -two percent of Republicans and 44 percent of independent do not consider the subject of infanticide morally* permissible. Of course, 52 percent of democrats are fine. Although the number of self -identified democrats immersed in order to record a minima.
*Yes, most oppose the overthrow ROE against Wadebut a similar majority Support restrictions On the procedure, in particular the ban on both the abortion of the second and the third trimester.
