And the three Justices need to be indicted for Lying to Congress.

Trump openly and publicly took credit for overturning Roe vs Wade. He also stated women should be criminally charged and punished for having an abortion even if their life was at risk.

8:16 ---> Women voicing anti-women stances - the GQP has truly raised generations to vote against their own interests - pathetic.

When I worked at our National Women’s Hospital here in New Zealand I remember a case when a girl visited a gp with classic ectopic pregnancy symptoms. Doctor missed it sent her home with paracetamol she bled out overnight. This is what will happen if an ectopic pregnancy is not treated it is usually a death sentence 😢😢😢

we dont need Conservative Big Brother monitoring our every Medical decision do we

I am 65, and in my entire life freedom has never stood more on a knife edge than now. Vote blue, no matter who. Our "freedom" to do anything else, is already one of the casulties.

If you're a trump supporter and you choose to NOT watch the debates live and unedited. You're just proving us all right, that MAGA is willfully ignorant.

[shannonstraughan]

I've seen MANY women who claimed to be pro-life, UNTIL say experience in unwanted pregnancy

[suzanne]

wait until those naive young women have a problem pregnancy and their life is on the line and they are DENIED care.

[deborahpitcher]

Let’s just say this mess you don’t want an abortion. Don’t get one. You don’t need an abortion. Don’t get one, but don’t take it your rights away from other women you’re right to say no as well as others are right to say yes.

[sarabridgeman]

Are you seriously telling me that Trump has never paid a woman to have an abortion at some time in his life? This is something that needs investigation.

[lynnrunningdeerB]

Since they want a federal ban on abortion then I and many others want a federal ban on religion🤬. We see no difference!

[michelez]

What do you think the outcome would be if SCOTUS made a ruling that all men over 35 years old must have vasectomies?

[richardowens]

If you are not a pregnant woman seeking an abortion, the man who got her pregnant, or the medical professional who will be performing the procedure, abortion is just plain none of your business. How hard is that to understand and accept?

[doughughes]

That is his gig. Talk crap, lie, dig a great big hole for Fox & Friends to help get him out of. MAGA baby 😂😂😂

[trinad]

Do these people have short memory loss or amnesia? The country had to shut down because of a pandemic Trump mishandled & lied about, the economy was not better under Trump. If they’re referring to the economy before the pandemic, Trump was riding on the coattails of what President Obama left him.

[kristannestone]

If people think abortion isn't an economic issue...
Women are more likely to live in poverty if they have a child before they are ready (do you really love the children you are forcing into this world? Then pay up when it comes to supporting these mothers with social services and free healthcare)
AND women who experience pregnancy complications and do not get timely care are more likely to become disabled and have debilitating medical debt;
AND unwanted and unloved children almost always grow up to be low achievers, delinquent, struggle with depression and anxiety, and are sicker--resulting in a greater burden on their pocketbooks and the Healthcare system
For starters.

[living_redefined]

SO MANY PEOPLE, including women, don’t understand that a D&C or D&E are considered an abortion. I’ve heard multiple women talking about having D&C’s but preaching pro-life/anti-choice. Ignorance is rampant! Someone needs to point these things out!

[VincentvanSteen]

if there is a choice between two evils (one of which I think is not evil at all), it would be wise to choose the lesser evil, would it not? Then how can so many Americans decide to choose the very worst evil of the two? It really baffles

[bonniebolan]

Why doesnt the government lay some blame on the man who made the women pregnant. Do something to his body without him having a choice!
