Here is the latest lunacy that, apparently, some Republicans are peddling to try to win women over. I encountered this while block-walking this weekend. I ended up talking to a Republican woman who at least claimed to be in favor of reproductive rights for women. "Oh good," I said. I guess you will be voting for Kamala Harris and Democrats this fall.
"Oh NO," she said. The Democrats don't want reproductive rights for women. Nancy Pelosi could have codified Roe long ago, but she and the other Democrats in Congress wanted to use this issue to campaign on. They would rather women suffer and die than to lose a campaign issue as effective as abortion."
In vain I mentioned repeated Democratic efforts going back to 2017 to pass the Women's Health Protection Act, and more efforts to protect contraception and IVF. In vain I mentioned that these were supported by almost all Democrats and opposed by almost all Republicans. "The Democrats had the majority," she answered. "Pelosi blocked it."
In vain I mentioned that the Democrats didn't have a majority in the House all the time, and that, even when they had a majority in the Senate, there was the filibuster. (She clearly didn't understand what the filibuster was; she just said that I "didn't understand how Congress worked." For her, the villain of this whole story is Nancy Pelosi.
I don't know where she got this line. I don't think she was bright enough to have made this up herself. She must have heard it somewhere. So, just a head's up.
Ironically, like all good propaganda, this contains a grain of truth. The Democratic position on reproductive health was weak and complacent until the Dobbs decisions. But the breath-taking inaccuracy of this woman's take is pretty astounding.
Melania, meh! (wonder how many abortions she has had).
Listen to KH on 'Call Her Daddy' podcast at the link below... esp. the 9th month abortion lie which she calls an outrageous lie. Tim Walz was asked about this same thing on Fox interview and he did OK. The context was the law he signed in MN which lets the doctor (and the patient) make healthcare choices without limit (which is how it should be).
Does anyone else remember maybe in 2013 when the Georgia statehouse had an anti abortion bill called “Let the mother die”? Plus the Republican woman there who for years fought to not run rape kits that were back logged in ERs for years and then threw them away. I had a heated conversation with a friend yesterday who’s an evangelical Christian and every time I’d say something like this she’s say it was all lies and I’ve been brainwashed by liberal media. I told her they really just hate women and want them to die. She ended our 23 year friendship today. To which I say- Good riddance!
I just left a soccer game in Wilmington NC. On my way back to Virginia. There was a long line of anti-abortion protesters in front of UNCW. My arm is tired from holding my middle finger up so long.
I'm really looking forward to the book launch event at NYU Law School on Monday! Should the Substaquistas attending figure out how to say Hi to one another?
She does not care about women or children Americans or democracy or freedom. She pretty much could have married any wealthy man that had integrity and honesty - but she chose the worst wealthy man in the country- that was a deliberate decision by her........ Because she shares the exact same viewpoints that Donald Trump does.
It is a complete fucking lie that she is pro-choice.
The Calvin Klein ad!!! Yes! I knew it reminded me of something, but couldn’t remember what. Jessica, you’re far too young to remember young Brooke Shields in that famous ad (sadly, I’m not!)
I never felt sorry for her, she knew what she was doing and went into this eyes wide open. Sure, she may have believed that he would lose to Clinton and her cushy life as a Trophy would go on, but I have no sympathy for her.
Kudos on your interview on Chris Hayes’ show! I signed up for this newsletter when I first saw you on his show. I’m glad to see your book getting the attention it deserves.
She has a book to sell so after years of hiding out on yachts she has launched herself back into the spotlight (which her publicist may have insisted on, lol). Definitely not fooling any of us and I think fewer Republicans are book buyers and readers so… 🤷♀️
Melania is not on the ballot.
I think she's just saying this to confuse the voters. She's up to no good.

Here is a tweet and short video from a doctor to set the record right about late term and post birth lies that trump/vnace spread.

Why does Kamala keep saying women need to consult their religious leaders to make decisions about their lives? It's very disconcerting.

Another great read. Also, your new book was delivered on Saturday!! I can't wait to read it! Thanks for work. It's so important 💜

Melania Trump is simply a modern day Eva Braun!
She does not care about women or children Americans or democracy or freedom. She pretty much could have married any wealthy man that had integrity and honesty - but she chose the worst wealthy man in the country- that was a deliberate decision by her........ Because she shares the exact same viewpoints that Donald Trump does.

Such a transparent thing to do. How do any of these people sleep at night?
The Calvin Klein ad!!! Yes! I knew it reminded me of something, but couldn’t remember what. Jessica, you’re far too young to remember young Brooke Shields in that famous ad (sadly, I’m not!)
I felt sorry for Melania for winding up in a green card marriage to Teflon Don for a long time.
Even though I know she almost certainly had very little to do with the writing of this book, I don't feel sorry for her anymore.
I never felt sorry for her, she knew what she was doing and went into this eyes wide open. Sure, she may have believed that he would lose to Clinton and her cushy life as a Trophy would go on, but I have no sympathy for her.

We aren't fooled, nor impressed.
