Thread: I'm prolife and I agree with every word the VP says in this clip.

She refers to the law as it stands. If you want to make elective abortion illegal, you can seek a constitutional amendment. What TX did was wrong, including for the prolife movement itself.

Firstly, I love that a female VP is in office and can say these things at this time. Thank you to everyone who voted for Biden-Harris. You saved so many lives, and ensured the USA could start the long process of restoring democracy.

The abortion debate comes down to whether you support a woman's right to bodily autonomy, or the baby's right to same (incl 50% who are female.) I want to support both, but I can't. The issue forces us to choose the lesser of two evils. Like most of the big political issues do.

Two things that would have helped the prochoice side if they had done it by now:

>ringfencing the taxpayer funding to PP, so that it doesn't pay for abortion services.

>voting yes on the Pain Capable bill to limit abortions beyond 20 weeks (5 months.)

I've heard every argument for and against those two things, so save yourself some time.

This TX law is bad for everyone in the US, not just women.

It also increases the support for major changes to the SCOTUS, which conservatives shouldn't want.

One of the most serious consequences of this law is that it promotes domestic violence & puts survivors & those around them in danger.

False allegations against a woman who isn't even pregnant, let alone seeking an abortion, will be weaponized in DV & child custody cases.

The bottom line here is that the Republican party were in a good position to get laws like the Pain Capable bill passed, and to keep working to educate people and do other lawful things to bring people on board.

They allowed Trump to throw that all away.

I was a Trump supporter from mid 2016 to 1/6/21.

Hardly anyone I associated with during that time has the cojones to continue being civil, let alone friendly, toward me. That's fine; I have thick skin & knew leaving the cult would get their noses out of joint. Did it anyway.

They're a bunch of crybaby sore losers, which is exactly what they called those who voted for HRC in 2016.

They're in a cult, and they either don't see that, or they are making a living out of lying about everything.

Yes, politicians lie, but not usually about things like 1/6

The level of GQP lying, promotion of violence, and other unilateral lawless acts is now completely off the charts.

In Jan/Feb I was ready to accept Biden as POTUS and show respect for the office... which is another thing MAGA folk demanded in 2017.

I didn't expect I would end up admiring both Biden and Harris for their performance at a time when their two jobs are more difficult than ever.

I watch the speeches and when I can I read the transcripts. Pretty much everything they say could have been said by Eisenhower & JFK.

I never thought I'd end up agreeing with them on things like (existing) abortion rights, voting rights, foreign policy, and domestic counter terrorism. Yet here we are.

Godspeed, Mr President and Madam Vice President.

Keep on keeping on.
