“I think you’re miscommunicating with God, or maybe you’re just not communicating with him at all.”

2. Dear Senator Shealy: it's not a church and you're not it's pastor.

[Nevilledog]

4. Yeah...I always feel icky posting god stuff

[Funtatlaguy]

5. Separation of church and state is a big reason we fought the British.

14. You may feel icky, but I am so glad you did.

That was powerful.

[Nevilledog]

15. I did for the bigger point it made about bodily autonomy.

7. Did you watch the video? She was blasting her Republican colleagues for

removing exceptions from their anti choice bill.

[TeamProg]

11. Yes, she is more pro-choice than the SC legislature. It's the God stuff that really makes her sound

crazy.

Sky Fairy and that ilk.

24. Most of the SC legislature speaks the same way.

Sky Fairy and all that ilk. It's part of the reason this state is so fucked up.

23. She is speaking the only language her colleagues understand.

The ones she is addressing are the same sort of Christofascists that are writing and passing these draconian laws across the country. She HAS TO speak in those terms in order to have even a remote chance of reaching these fucks, who think they're making these laws in the name of Gawd and Jeebus.

3. WOW. Please watch her

She did an excellent job explaining why it’s wrong to remove exceptions for rape and incest in the legislation they are proposing.

[blueinredohio]

12. I agree totally with her.

I never thought I would ever agree with a republican and I never thought any republican could talk with that much sense and compassion.

[Rebl2]

13. Exactly

6. One would think that God is able to communicate personally, live-time to each of us, not via some se

One would think that God is able to communicate personally, live-time to each of us, not via some self-proclaimed prophet/medium.

8. "...miscommunicating with God..."

Yeah - there's a lot of that going around.

[Tetrachloride]

9. plain language that everyone can understand

[Earth-shine]

10. Mmmm. So, it's possible to be self-proclaimed "pro-life" and still be reasonable.

As a guy, I gotta say, I think we need more women in charge.

[Earth-shine]

21. She said quite pointedly, she doesn't want men -- those men -- to make any such decisions

for her, her daughter, her granddaughters, or anyone else. She really stuck it to them, and had an effect in a way a liberal legislator could not.

I don't know what she meant when she said she is "pro-life." It's a matter of definition.

If a woman is say seven months pregnant, and the baby and mother are healthy, I wouldn't want that baby aborted. In cases like this, I'm certainly pro-life.

Should she be voted out? If we can. Let's get rid of all republicans.

22. My computer was acting up and video wouldn't play...manage to find a news article that had

some quotes...so mea culpa...She is to be admired. I believe there are many GOP women who don't believe Roe should be gone and hope they will vote for us in the midterm. K&R
