Ted Budd, who's running for US senator from North Carolina (bless his heart!) and feels emboldened perhaps because Trump is holding a rally for him next week in Wilmington, has co-sponsored in the US House the Lindsey Graham proposal to ban abortions nationwide after 15 weeks of pregnancy -- which Graham has cleverly labeled "late-term abortions" as though 15 weeks weren't actually early in a pregnancy, not close to half-way through.
Perhaps Budd's putting his name to a proposed law that will take away the rights of women is a calculation to stir up the enthusiasm of his base voters. Whether or not there's something weak about the enthusiasm of Republican voters that needs stirring up, Budd has probably confirmed to sane women voters -- especially young ones -- that he's not to be allowed near the law-making apparatus of the federal government.

ReplyDeleteShouldn't that read "will take away the rights of PEOPLE is a calculation..."
After all, can't men have babies also?
Very sexist.
