[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont understand why the article keeps bringing up Vance and his wife, when they live in........Virginia. [/quote]

Because Vance is the ideological vanguard of this new form of conservativism: opposed to hardnosed anti-family corporations, anti-monopolist, pro-family, wants to extend child tax credit, bonuses for babies, more money spent on childcare, expand Medicaid to pregnant women, paid family leave, school choice (including religious privates & home schooling)....while also stridently anti-abortion.

It has nothing to do with where Vance lives, but what they represents and believe. Let's see if honors his word by getting pro-family legislation across the finish line.[/quote]

The part talking about Cheverly was pushing the thesis that real conservatives want to live in Maryland, the Hill staffers, the pro family, the big community and definitely not in Virginia while referencing Vance this and Vance that and that his wife is a working woman with a professional degree. But yet, they’re on record as saying they picked Del Ray because of the amenities and sense of community.

So you don’t get it both ways. This thread is definitely some “profamily” propaganda disguised as pro life lobbying. Even the main woman at the central part of the article, who has 4 kids and went to Harvard herself, admits she has no idea what it’s like not to be super privileged when having kids yet thinks it must be “hard” to not be so white, I’ve educated, wealthy and privileged and be faced with a pregnancy but abortion should be illegal anyway. She got hers.

The hypocrisy is gross.[/quote]
