GOP Senate Nominee: Abortion Decisions 'Belong' to GOP 'Gentlemen' State Reps

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

New Hampshire GOP Senate nominee Don Bolduc told supporters this week that he thinks the future of abortion rights “belongs” to Republican “gentlemen” state lawmakers, who he claims know best how to give women a voice on their reproductive rights.

During a Wednesday night town hall in Auburn, New Hampshire, Bolduc, a retired Army brigadier general, weighed in on whether he thinks abortion rights should be decided at the state level or the federal level.

“It belongs to the state. It belongs to these gentlemen right here, who are state legislators representing you,” Bolduc said, motioning to at least two Republican state representatives in the room, Jason Osborne and Jess Edwards.

Edwards, for one, voted against sidelining a bill in March that would have banned abortion upon the detection of a so-called fetal “heartbeat,” a misleading reference to cardiac activity in an embryo. That means the bill would have banned abortion after about five weeks, a point at which many people don’t even know that they are pregnant.

8. Times certainly are challenging

and those of us who have worked for decades in any of the various movements for social justice are certainly entitled to feel discouraged.

I do think though that on the whole we're at a better place than we were in the 1960s, 70s, and even the 80s. I think the majority--perhaps the vast majority--of younger people are miles ahead of where people were then. The acceptance of gay rights and gay culture, the idea of disabled people as people with rights, the fact that rape and domestic violence--while still rampant--are less likely to be accepted by the mainstream--all these I think are genuine accomplishments that have an importance that transcends particular past election outcomes. The fact is the majority of people today--and again, the vast majority of younger people--are pro-choice. I don't know if that was the case in 1973.

Of course all of this is in jeopardy though if we don't keep the GOP from gaining control of Congress, the Presidency, and expanding their control of the judiciary. If we can do that, I think the current disasters an be undone. Anyway, that's what I tell myself when I feel as you do now.

Best wishes, and I hope you get some of your Mojo back.
