Abortion is not a dirty word and Planned Parenthood isnt a McDonalds and the GOP can go F**K itself
Margaret honey, nothing pisses me off more than when a man has an opinion about something he knows nothing about. And one thing for damn sure a man knows nothing about is whats in a womans mind and heart when she is making a decision about whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. Its called an abortion. Its not a dirty word. Its legal. Its a womans right. Its personal. A woman can choose to have one or not. And damn it, there is no such thing as a post-birth abortion unless youre talking about the death penalty (which is a whole nother GOP lie).
The fact that the GOP has a talking point about post-birth abortions tells you all you need to know about how stupid the GOP is and how stupid they think voters are. If you cant make your case with the truth then do you really have a case? There is indeed something called a late-term abortion. Its not pretty. Its not happy. Its usually the last choice, but it is a choice a woman sometimes makes. And if you knew anything about why a woman might have to make that choice, you would be questioning your faith in God before you would be questioning the choice of that woman.
Contrary to what our asshat of a President and his confederacy of dunces think, women dont pull up to a Planned Parenthood and order up an abortion like its a Big Mac. No one at Planned Parenthood takes our request for a pregnancy test and tries to upsize us to an abortion and some fries. Women make this decision with a great deal of thought, prayer and consultation with our loved ones and our doctors.
I am an old woman. I dont like the f-word. I didnt use that word until the orange asshat arrived. But on this topic, you bet your sweet ass Ill use it. FUCK YOU GOP for continuing to politicize this deeply personal decision that should be left between a woman and her doctor. Get your lies out of our government and get your politics out of our vaginas. And while you are at it, why dont you get those children at the border out of those cages. I mean it. Really.
