And yet here’s your boys in Ohio saying an ectopic pregnancy should be put in the uterus. https://www.nbc4i.com/news/local-news/abortion-bill-suggests-doctors-reimplant-ectopic-pregnancies/ Tell me more about how republicans should be trusted with women’s health. |

Ok, if you don’t have an issue with Trump, you’re likely not going to be voting for democrats. Why should their messaging target you, someone who has no problem with Trump? |

"Sure Trump is a threat to democracy itself, but what are the Dems offering?" Do you realize how incredibly whiny and privileged that sounds? As ponted out here numerous times, the Dems have a platform that has been repeated again and again - by both Dem candidates - and you're just not listening. The fact that Trump is an existential threat and wholly unworthy of the office *should* be your primary concern. |

You somehow missed that the state of Idaho went all the way to the Supreme Court trying to not have doctors able to perform abortions on women to save them. |

In 2018, Harris introduced the “Do No Harm Act,” which aimed to effectively kneecap doctors with religious objections to abortions and transgender mutilations. The Act also sought to punish faith-based schools and charities for their views on birth control. This is awful |

Why did your nominee come out against the Florida ban if Republicans really understand what America wants on abortion? Why did he say it was “Terrible”. Does he know something you don’t about what Americans think? Or are you voting for someone who isn’t “pro-life” |

No one is doing that. The women who are having abortions at 20 weeks gestation are doing it because they couldn’t get an abortion earlier (because not every woman has the money to scrape up to travel to a state where women are full citizens, to get childcare, to afford a hotel room and to afford a procedure that has now gotten more expensive because their state banned all abortions starting at six weeks) or because they discovered something at the 20 week ultrasound. Once again the GOP’s contempt for women comes shining through. |

Yeah this, people are acting like this is some super organic rollout are funny. The fangirl stuff is very cringe and she's gonna champion the same unpopular policies from the Biden admin. She was the border czar and the border is horrible. I don't like Trump but I'm not gonna sit here and believe that she's suddenly some popular politician. She was super unpopular for years and now she's supposedly awesome? She needs to moderate and convince skeptics that she won't be dysfunctional like the Biden admin (even though she was apart of it). |

Oh really? Does she send doctors to jail? Does she offer a $10,000 bounty for reporting people? Tell me more about this “kneecapping” of the medical profession and how it is in some way more “awful” than threatening doctors with jail time for saving women’s lives. |

No one wants abortion at nine months except to save the mother’s life. As for the rest of it, that may be true. But it isn’t what happened/is happening post-Dobbs. The question is how do they feel about what we got, which is which is a wide swath of red states banning abortions at 6 weeks (not a few months) when many women don’t even know they were pregnant (2 weeks post first missed period, assuming a regular cycle, which many women don’t have), without exceptions for things like rape, incest, non viable fetuses and the mothers health? Because if you think what we actually have in red states, so that’s the R position. Not a more moderate few months with exceptions thing. And we know how they feel, because even the reddest states are rejecting these laws when citizens are able to get abortion protection on the ballot. You’re stuck with what you are actually doing. Not what people wanted. I’m not the one who needs to read the room. You want exception? You want 12 or 15 weeks. Then do that instead of what you have done. |

She has a 91% turnover rate with staff
Staffers in Harris’ office have reported a toxic work environment since 2021, when The Washington Post spoke with 18 individuals in Harris’ orbit. Descriptions ranged from “uncomfortable” to “soul-destroying.” “One of the things we’ve said in our little text groups among each other is what is the common denominator through all this and it’s her,” former Harris aide and Democrat strategist Gil Duran told the Post. Back in 2013, after just five months of working for Harris, he quit. “Who are the next talented people you’re going to bring in and burn through and then have [them] pretend they’re retiring for positive reasons.” Others said Harris blamed staff for her lack of preparation. “It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work,” a former anonymous staffer told the Post. “With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.” |

For greater context, the “Do No Harm Act” was intended to protect people from abuses of the “Religious Freedom Restoration Act.”: “The Do No Harm Act clarifies that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act is intended to protect religious freedom without allowing the infliction of harm on other people. It would amend RFRA in order to restore the original intent of the legislation by specifically exempting areas of law where RFRA has been used to bypass federal protections. […] When passed into law over two decades ago, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) was designed to protect minority religious groups' constitutional right to freely exercise their religious beliefs. RFRA prohibits the federal government from “substantially burden[ing]” a person’s religious exercise unless doing so is the least restrictive means of furthering a compelling governmental interest. RFRA was supported by a broad coalition of organizations including many in the civil rights community, who welcomed the law as an important shield from the tyranny of majority rule. Despite this focused, straightforward intent, individuals and businesses have worked to distort RFRA into a blank check to discriminate or to impose their religious beliefs on others. In 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, in which the Justices were asked to decide whether requiring a corporation to provide insurance coverage that includes contraception under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a “substantial burden” on the corporation with religious objections, and whether corporations are covered by RFRA. The Court ruled that closely held for-profit corporations are exempt from complying with the ACA contraception mandate based on the company’s religious belief under RFRA.” https://www.hrc.org/resources/do-no-harm-act#:~:text=The%20Do%20No%20Harm%20Act,of%20harm%20on%20other%20people. The GOP plans to make their version of Christianity the state religion, everyone else’s beliefs be damned. You can see this in Project 2025. |

She doesn't have the nomination yet. They have to be initially supportive lest they antagonize her base. But, now that she's in the spotlight, any gaffes will be used to raise public doubts, which can be cited as reason to regretfully withdraw support at the last minute. |
