It's like they have 3rd graders as leaders. How can you be in that position and not listen to logic? If I wanted my uncle to be a senator I would had elected him

[Ralphies_Mom]

You don't need to make any decisions for women. He is so ignorant. He doesn't even let them answer

[KTL]

"Don't tell me that."- a senator absolutely denying to allow the truth to be spoken because it doesn't fit his narrative.

[HeronCoyote]

Aren’t all of these politicians practicing medicine without a license? I thought that was illegal.

[notlikely]

I've been around for a couple of late term (+20 week) abortions

I wouldn't call those abortions...they were "stillbirths"

and they were all a horrific disaster for the families involved

I would not want to poke that bruise just to make political points

that's inhuman...as far from "Christian" as I can conceive

The woman carrying the child
Not people who claim it to be for religious reasons. Separation of church and state. Why is this senator and all the other republicans care so much?
Are they going to adopt the kids that aren’t wanted? Are they going to raise a child when the mother dies in childbirth.
Why on earth is he even asking who should make the decision.

[rebekahkui]

Ugh it makes my 🩸🥵 listening to these hypocrites saying who should make these decisions for women! It’s OBVIOUSLY YHE WOMAN, HER PARTNER AND HER DOCTOR! Not politicians!

[Furry-ousNews]

The anti-autonomy crowd just don't get what they are even arguing for 😮‍💨

[tonicalhoun]

Every pro-choice individual needs to sit down with about 50 women that have had abortions and ask “why”…MAYBE that will open their eyes…it’s almost never done lightly

[amberlynne]

"I don't want to hear you answer because I don't agree." Just say it old man.

[fsu]

She shut his political theater act down in one statement. That’s how anyone going before maga politicians should speak.

[ExestentialCrisis]

"What about . . . X. then who should decide?"

The woman and her physician.

"What about . . . Y then who should decide?"

The woman and her physician.

The answer is ALWAYS the woman and her physician.

It is NEVER EVER anybody else and least of all a politician!

[helenwheels]

How will Republicans punish men who cause unwanted pregnancy?

[estellabranson]

A foctor and the patient should make the decision. If men had to carry a baby they wouldn't be trying to block access to abortions.

[teatreeessentialoil]

Good on her for clapping back with facts against him

[JanelleBearden]

It’s the women smiling and nodding along following the clap back for me. 🙂‍↕️It’s mind boggling how out of touch some (most) politicians are, before you consider that most of then are old rich white men…

[lamiagumbo]

Good for her for treating Kennedy like the spoiled child he is. His question was objectively stupid.

[vitalucas]

I'll answer. The person making the decision sure as heck shouldn't be "some random old guy." It should be made by the girl or woman with the help of a doctor.

[susanw]

Kennedy ignorance on display for all! What a rude dude 😊

[theferalfemalesociety]

The person carrying and paying for that pregnancy should decide; not some old creep that I wouldn't let feed my dog
