Hard to believe this is an argument.

We must leave abortion alone. We just need two changes to our other laws, no non-profit accepting public funds should be allowed to donate to any political group. And, all tissue/body parts from an aborted fetus can be sold or used, and must be cremated or buried.

Only a Democrat or a progressive would enjoy killing babies.

Better headline: Republicans sense an opening as Democrats endorse infanticide.

When you walk in a woman’s shoes you get an opinion. A woman has choices and men think it’s theirs to decide. So sick and tired of this I am going to lecture you about your body. No women anywhere does this lightly or without personal pain and for no reason.

They sense wrong.

Force them all to have vasectomies then we can talk about individual freedoms.

Don't forget your socialistic agenda as well

Just pay each child $14,000 per year from conception until 18 years of age. That will end most abortions. Pay for it with a 1 percent sales tax capped at $1 at each point and time of sale.

Killing Baby AFTER it is born is NOT even abortion it's out right murder.

Real woman , mothers would never ever support killing babies with 40 weeks.

Rethugs worried states can bypass abortion restrictions if Supreme Court over rules roe v Wade. In their book only their women get to have choice, the rest should be forced to give birth no matter condition of fetus.

Translation: Infanticide is not a growth position...

By lying. Great job.

Which is amazing considering they don’t give 2 fucks about children outside of the womb. See exhibit A at the border.

Just like they with healthcare, how did that work for them? Men should never have the right to tell women what they can & can’t do with the bodies/healthcare

Abortion is legal. It represents a woman’s right to choose. Arguments against it are based on religion. If your religion doesn’t like abortion, don’t have one. Stop judging everyone else based upon your religious beliefs. Get over yourself, this shouldn’t be an issue. NEXT!

Pretend anyone other than the dying Religious Right actually have a problem with it.

Nope. The GOP is only beholden to those who are addicted to Bronze and Roman Age religious myths. THAT is completely out of step with our secular nation.

lkjtexas You mean lying and scaring people

Nope.

Lol. “Republicans sense”. You people are advocating infanticide. Its not a sense.

Abortion has been an issue for decades. It's time the HouseGOP & SenateGOP stop gear mongering and start having actual platforms to run in and follow through with if they win. That GOPisGone TrumpTreason TrumpRussia VoteBlue2020 Resist

The democrats have a negative platform and not even the womb at 37 weeks is a safe space. To top it all, their new leader is a complete moron, former bartender who sprouts policy by throwing random buzzwords words in the air. Yet half the country will still vote for them. Sad.

Steve Saclise should be ware, he was given a second chance at life and worse than ever with his rhetorical statements to protect IllegitimatePresident. He better think carefully and think on how fleeting life is.

If you want to know if there is really a hell, go to NY, RI, VA to experience it. The people there are ok with murder of unborn children. Those states and CA that releases illegal immigrant felons are on our boycott list.

The only way it would work is if the Republican base is stupid and believes a woman would go through a half year or more of illness and extreme discomfort to develop an infant almost to term and choose abortion without an absolute medical necessity. Are Republican that dumb?

An OPENING? how about a SUPER HIGHWAY.....

Divisive issue about women when women will be voting in record numbers? Bunch of old white men still trying to control women’s bodies Women & families are not having it w/~60% wanting abortion to be legal These are same men who thought screaming about caravans would win midterms

Dems are in favor of murder. Baby killers.

Late term abortions. They are trying to scare by manipulation. Need clinical reason to get one..( e.g stillbirth, severe birth defect..severe ) and only 3 or 4 drs offer in the entire US..gop trying disinfo

Ny abortion law is roe v wade it’s not a smoking gun

Sure use cheap distractions because you’re weak on policy

Legislating women’s bodies begs the question, let’s start legislating men’s bodies and their reproductive organs. I propose that all men who have unprotected sex with a woman who can not obtain an abortion must pay child support for 18 years regardless of marital status.

Are you GOP pukes going to raise all the un- wanted babies!?

Repubs see a way to tell women what to do!!

WP is a liberal rag.

CyrusToulabi Republicans don’t give a shit about pro-life or pro-choice. Abortion issues are divisive. That’s the only way they can win elections. Divide and conquer. The actual issue means nothing to them. They govern to enrich themselves and their donors. No one else.

Democrats do not care about Americans they want votes. I support placing a Law to Protect babies. If you don’t want children than get an adoption. Stop kill our future.

Women showed up big in 2018 to vote against the GOP/Trump and that was just the mid terms....they, the GOP, remain blind to that...again

Sure. Just like they thought their Corporate Tax Cut bill was going to win elections in the mid-terms.

I would love to force these a**holes to get vasectomies. littlepricks

No kidding? It surprises you that most of the WORLD prefers not to kill helpless infants?

GOP does not care about unborn or born babies or women, or children, or veterans or seniors or .... They care about winning and money.

Ha ha ha, Republican’s don’t care at all about abortion - they care only about power and money. They do play the rubes with the abortion issue - and it’s imperative for their survival that it remains a wedge issue ( which is why they will never *really* do anything to resolve it)

We can always bastardize 'sleeping giants' to suite our own personal agendas.

Come on! Your sensing what? For Christ sakes do your job. Trump is criminal.

If democrats push the after birth abortion issue

all democrats approve of late term abortions where they kill a baby in the womb or after it's born. They have taken millions from planned parenthood.

Republicans sense an opportunity to shamelessly lie and fear monger about an abortion law. Again.

MY BODY MY CHOICE!!!!!!!! KillAllFutureRepublicans LifeStartsInKindergarten

When you’re a viagra and adderall junkie, controlling women’s bodily autonomy becomes a sick obsession.

Right LOL! You really think this one issue will make voters vote for the GOP and it's long history of supporting the rich and corp America over top of we ordinary citizens. One takes all the issues and Talley's up where the candidates stand and then you make your choice!

Any divisive issue the GOP is for.

Let’s see how that works after Mueller opens up the National Enquirer safe and we learn how many Trump’s mistresses have had.

In the me too movement and the rise of women in politics? Good luck.

Duh! Most Americans on both sides of the aisle are disgusted at what the Dems are doing & even worse, celebrating.

cuz they don't have anything else

More tactics to win over women Solid

Turns out moderates aren't big fans of infanticide. Who would have guessed?

Steve 'I'm David Duke without the baggage' Scalise. His own words.

Abandon the wall? What’s left Abortion! sad thing is they have to make up lies to create a narrative & without Majority support on this Issue. Maybe try recruiting woman & People of color to your political agenda

Turning the conversation yet again . . .LOOK OVER HERE! Forget all that other stuff . . .

As Pres Individual-1 Mounts His GasLight Campaign For The 2020 Election fellow Repubs sense a 'giant awakening 'over an Issue That Was Settled By The Supreme Court in Roe Vs Wade..My God,The Repubs are acting like the Mid-Terms Didn't Happen.They're GasLighting Themselves..🤣🍕💩

Nope...2018’s blue wave was just the beginning. Nothing is going to stop the tsunami about to hit the GOP in 2020

Ya, stay out of a Women's vagina?

Yeah WaPo MURDERING BABIES has ALWAYS been a BAD thing to NORMAL PEOPLE!

FYI Murder is illegal in this country

There’s a huge difference between abortion and murder, which is what NY passed and VA is trying to pass.

To be clear, the issue of late term abortion is not divisive. 85% of Americans agree that third term abortion is wrong.

Is it *really* that divisive? There's the scientific and medical knowledge of hundreds of years and millions of doctors... and then there's the GOP.

Wow. Really. With majority supporting abortion rights in the US...they see an opening? Oh wait. They also think their boy in the White House is doing a great job. We all miss what used to be the GOP

Yes, Virginia embattled Governor made a huge miscalculation!

Nope

Not really divisive... will just pull in brainwashed Christians that want to control every other human.

“We will force you to have your rapists baby” is a great platform

Yeah, Democrats are pushing too far with this third-trimester abortions. It's one thing if it's a medical emergency for either parent or child. It's an entirely different thing to decide you don't want the baby that's grown into a human with emotions and feelings.

yeah that giant wasn't sleeping. a lot of people have opinions about abortion that don't align with the liberal platform

Sure, they’ve made it an issue the way they normally do, by maliciously lying to the public, which is exactly how we ended up being the only country in the world that doesn’t think climate change is real.

This is always my single issue as pro choice. I support abortion rights

Yes, they are doing their McHale's Navy boat crew scenes now where they all pretend to be outraged about something at the same time.

The fight over Abortion rights is over. Except for the dying Rep party

I guess when you've done nothing but soak the rich and lash yourselves to the mast of an unpopular and aberrant Administration, any straw looks good enough to grasp at.

Stay out of my body.

yeah, like this is a new idea of theirs.

Their senses are broken.

They tried everything in 2018 but it never worked. Why would this work?

Every Republican gain is thanks to Virginia Dems. Lol

Northam tells Virginia Democrat it wasn't him in racist photo, won't resignVirginia Gov. Ralph Northam has told a source he now believes it is not him in a racist yearbook photo and that he has no recollection of taking the photo, according a top Virginia Democratic source who spoke to the governor on Saturday. Uh-huh. Interesting ploy. Ah yes. Straight out of the Democratic hand book. Deny deny and forget and forget until people just stop asking. Like listening to HillaryClinton talk all over again. I am in shock that something that occurred 30 years ago when there was no PC can come back and haunt you. These costumes were very normal at the time. However, Northampton is a scum ball so if it has to happen, so be it!
