It doesn't matter what he says, even if he's telling the truth. He is running in a Party whose platform is committed not only to banning abortion nationally, but also to lying about it up until the minute they do.


And contraception and assisted reproductive technologies, too.


100% They all lie about it to get votes. Don't trust any republicans on any issue related to women's rights. Don't think for a minute they won't come after contraception and IVF. Look what happenend in Alabama yesterday.

David Trone is a moderate. He’s pro-business, pro-Israel, and pro-law enforcement. He’s way far to the right of me and I will still vote for him on abortion alone. If you are a moderate who thinks Democrats have gone too far left, Trone is your guy.


Imagine being this closed minded.


It’s one thing to vote for Hogan for governor when the opponent was Ben Jealous (totally incompetent) and a solid Dem legislature.

When it’s the Senate, and it’s Hogan vs. Trone (a centrist, pro-business Democrat), you are voting to give Mitch McConnell the gavel. You are a Republican.

This. He absolutely will vote for a national abortion ban. This man is the Susan Collins of the South.


I’m fine with a ban at 16 weeks. That’s a reasonable compromise.


This is not a both-sides issue to compromise with Republican politicians on. Is Larry Hogan my gynecologist? No? He and all the other Republicans can STFO. It’s a medical issue, not a political issue. End of story.


Except that 90% of the time it is not a medical issue. It’s a personal preference issue

Exactly like a knee replacement. If I personally prefer to address my knee problems with a knee replacement, that is a medical issue between me and my orthopedic surgeon (and my insurance company).

Knee replacements don’t kill another human being.

How is it close minded to observe that if it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, it’s… probably a duck?

If that's your objection, then state it up front. Don't distract with the medical issue/personal preference stuff when even you don't believe that's the issue.

What are you talking about? Are you denying that 90+ % of abortions are done for convenience and not medical issues?

This position is based on (1) ignorance about pregnancy, and (2) dismissal of women's lives and women's rights to make decisions about their lives.

There’s a sale on aluminum foil at Costco this week, if you want to stock up.


DP. I don't know about the Heritage Foundation, but it's pretty clear that if Trump wins, they're not going to just stop at illegalizing abortion.

Late term abortion out of convenience… it’s not a thing. Are you even a woman? You certainly can’t be a mother. If so, you would know that nobody in their right mind would choose to carry a fetus for 7-8 months, endure pregnancy that long with it’s morning sickness, mood swings, weight gain, hormones gone haywire, only to say “nah, never mind, I don’t want it.” When women terminate pregnancy at that time, there is a reason, and it’s usually heartbreaking.

Other countries regulate abortions after 15 weeks, and after that point you just have to have a reason - any reason. It can be financial or just being unprepared to fulfill the duties of a parent.

+1. Add to that contraceptives that are perceived hostile to fertilization and implantation. Expect contraception to be dropped from health insurance.

When you have people that want to make elective abortion legal up to the point of birth, it becomes very much an ethical and political issue.

No other country allows for abortion in last trimester without a medical reason because doing so is gruesome and chips away at our humanity.

Why is it so important to you that you can kill a viable life just for convenience? It is just as insane as people that believe an embryo is fully formed person.



Here are the statistcs from the CDC showing that in 2021, .9% of reported abortions took place after 21 weeks of gestation. 93.5% took place less than 13 weeks of gestation. Late-term abortion is NOT a widespread practice.
