"Abortion on Demand" is not & never has been the Democratic Party position on Abortion.

It is a slap in the face to anyone involved in such a personal & difficult decision. And of course Physicians don't just hand out abortions up to & including the day of birth.

But this is what Chuck Toad said on MTP yesterday-without any pushback.

What a effin putz.

You really want to go there?. It's not the party position for obvious reasons. And all that does is give Yampering Repukes a justification and talking point.

It is a matter of a woman having the right of control over her own body.

But it does express, albeit in a vindictive way, the intent of choice to control one’s own body

The Repukes frame it as a woman walking in at full term with no health issues or abnormalities & decides to terminate. As far as I know(limited I'm a guy) that is a procedure limited to protocol and Physician guidance.

Not "git this baby outta me" and the Dr has no choice.


It is the framing-and I believe Bill Clinton said it best,
Safe legal & rare.

Just the framing please....Chuck got no pushback on national TV with so called Democratic analysts in presence. I nearly fell over when I heard him say that & nobody said a peep.

DSA is trying to push this idea down the Democratic Party Member's throats. Literally a post 3 days ago stating "Abortion on Demand and Free".

Chuck Todd doesn't know the difference between the Democratic Party and the DSA.
