I don’t think Lindsey Graham’s deal with the devil is working out for him. He looks terrible.

[mauricioangulos.]

If you want to know what corruption looks like, just compare a picture of 2015 Lindsey Graham with a 2024 picture of Lindsey Graham

I cant stand the term "pro life" to people that only care about human life until they are born. They do nothing but block any attempt to improve the life of children in America.

Taking it to the states does not help...tell that to women in TX who died or were injured because doctors would not treat them for fear of being jailed. Women voters are not stupid.

I’ve been a lifelong Republican, but this year, I’m voting for Harris/Walz and volunteering for their campaign in a swing state and swing Congressional District because I believe in the freedom to choose. I refuse to stand by while creepy politicians try to control what happens in our bedrooms and doctors' offices. It’s time to take a stand. Please vote Blue to protect our freedoms and keep government out of our personal lives.

Trump has no position other than he needs to win to stay out of prison. Period. Let’s be real.

Women will be insane to trust trump and Vance, his record is, trump say one thing and do another.

[nicolelawrence-iz]

Remember when Trump opined that women who undergo an abortion should be " punished?" With friends like Trump, you don't need enemies!

[lindaweber]

I have noticed Trump hasn't done accordion hands since Obama mocked him.

[YouTubeme]

Abortion and reproductive rights is a HUGE issue for women. No way around that. Leave the decision up to the individual not the government. Period

[dannmarceau]

He said that he is "proud" to have taken away a woman's right, and they should be punished if they do make the choice to have an abortion; his words.

[andercoyote]

He’s never been good for women a day in his life .

[barbra]

It isn’t pro life it’s pro control of women.

[sheilawilliamsshafer]

Donald Trump said on record that "there should be some punishment for the women who have abortions".... DON'T FORGET THAT LITTLE TIDBIT and DON'T LET AMERICAN WOMEN FORGET IT EITHER.

[SBTonyP]

One problem is that women don’t want any government- federal or state - to attack their rights. Therefore, it’s stupid to say that state decisions solve the problem.

[fbattye]

The Harris/Walz Presidential Ticket is not a sugar high nor is it a Honeymoon phase, it is a "Movement" and it's on the move Forward not Backward, we saw the first Trump movie and how lousy it was, sequels are always worse, let's face it, USA citizens are sick and bored of Don-Old trump rerun's, Vote Blue...

[rufuslynx]

Wasn't he bragging about stacking SCOTUS to do his bidding and overturn R v W?

[moss]

Spot on, here. Action and historical records of their statements mean more than their empty political 'messaging' shift.

"Nobody will protect women's rights more than Donald J Trump." --- JD Vance, who wrote the forward to Project 2025.

In June, Vance voted against IVF—a medical procedure that has brought the joy of parenthood to millions of families. According to the NIH, over eight million babies in the U.S. have been born thanks to IVF. It has completed families for countless parents and grandparents. IVF gave me my family after a decade of trying and six heartbreaking miscarriages. Without it, our story—and the stories of millions of others—would be tragically different. By voting against IVF, Vance isn’t just opposing a medical procedure; he’s turning his back on the hope and joy it brings to millions. My family will never support someone who would deny others the chance to experience that same blessing. I’m a lifelong Republican, but this year, I’m voting for Harris/Walz and even volunteering for their campaign in a swing state and a swing congressional district. Vote Blue
