GOP Sen. Tim Scott Claims Democrats Want Abortions Up To 52 Weeks

In his latest fundraising email, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) paints a very dark picture for the GOP if the party doesn’t win back the Senate in November.

“If we don’t take back the Senate, Dems will pack the courts, give DC statehood, grant abortions up to 52 weeks, and Republicans will never win again,” he wrote to supporters Monday.

“A full-term pregnancy is approximately 40 weeks,” Dr. Meera Shah, chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, told HuffPost. “It is not logical or medically accurate to say that people can be pregnant at 52 weeks ― let alone be seeking an abortion. It is comments like this one that underscore exactly why medical decisions should not be made by politicians.

Tim Scott needs to be tossed out of the Senate, immediately.

* please only for republicans, it is just for the adults of breeding age, and it is not for abortions but
having their tubes tied as gay black drag queens do the operations.

You know...like for women whose pregnancies are going past the standard 40 weeks. Not that it will matter to this fuckstick. Like every other GOPer, he's enamored with spewing their utter bullshit about Dems wanting to allow abortions up until birth. And, he's too stupid to realize his mistake.

"Dems will pack the courts..." No, fucko. They'll un-do the packing your shit party has been doing.

It’s a little hard for abortions to happen at 52 weeks, I’m just saying.

But Republicans being ignorant on women’s issues is nothing new.

He told me and a few colleagues that one day like it was the single biggest news flash in world history.

I then realized why he was on wife #3.
