Not likely. She’s 42 with middle school aged kids. Unlikely she needed help getting pregnant. It must be nice to have the money for childcare, and not have to put your career on hold. |
that's not the million dollar question. What is: If the woman who was sex trafficked became pregnant should she have been allowed an abortion? Should the woman who was sex trafficked have been forced to stay in Mexico where she was trafficked or was she eligible for asylum? |
Her rebuttal will go down as one of the worst in history. OMG it was like a bad SNL skit. |
NP but I don’t think anyone is discounting the horrors of what this woman went through. I just don’t see why someone would bring it up in the response to the President’s state of the union when it happened in Mexico 15-20 years ago and has nothing to do with the current president. |
It’s hilarious how wrong they are. |
What bothers me most about this is that Senator Britt says, “We wouldn’t be okay with this happening in a third world country.” And then she follows it with, “This is the United States of America.” The sex trafficking, as we now know, didn’t occur in the United States. But if it did, the logical follow-up would be something like, “But it didn’t happen in a third world country. It happened here in the United States.” That’s how you would deliver the most emotional impact. But Senator Britt very carefully avoided saying that to give herself plausible deniability later if someone called her on it. (And someone did.) That means she *deliberately* misled millions of people with an emotionally charged story that she knew was untrue—FOR POLITICS. It’s just disgusting. I guess bearing false witness is okay for some people. |

What happened to the sex-trafficked woman didn't happen in the US. All of that's further up in the thread. |
This is what happens when Republicans only speak to church groups and local Chambers of Commerce who will accept and applaud whatever they say as long as it includes how horribly Christians and business owners are persecuted. No one ever fact checks them back home. Fact-checking Republicans is persecution. They are never prepared for any scrutiny of their bullshit. |
It takes two to tango. Plenty of male infertility out there boys. |
Yeah.. can we not go there when talking about women leaders (or supreme court judges or women CEOs or whatever ) with children. Even if they have more than two. Let’s leave out the personal speculation and cheap shots about medical interventions. Or do you always write the first thing that pops into your head ? |
cheap shot. These are petty reasons why GOP and “undecideds” exist. |
+1 Thank you. Amazing how triggered Democrats are by a woman in a completely normal v-neck blouse showing zero cleavage at all. It's almost as if... they're hypocritical misogynists! |
From a statistical standpoint, it seems unlikely she used IVF. Most women are able to become pregnant without medical intervention. |
It's because they believe that Republicans are opposed to women's sexuality and see everything through that lens. So they reflexively sexualize Republican women out of retaliation. It's hypocritical but fits well within their worldview. |
