Again, this is all so funny in the context of these people pretending to believe abortion is murder. It's like saying, "Yea, so he paid for someone to murder a toddler when he was young and naive, but we've all done dumb shit"

voter on Herschel Walker allegations, including paying for an abortion when he was nearly 50 years old: "We all do things when we're young, naive. He's an adult now."

elect Walker and by the "logic" of "I was young and naive" you will soon have your sentence commuted!

The interviewer should have asked this dumb as a box of rocks person... "is abortion the taking of a life?"

The answer will be "of course"

So then the question should be "does anyone that takes a life deserve to be in prison?"

"How is paying for multiple executions (abortions) not make Walker a murderer?"

They can't have it both ways... either abortion is murder... or it isn't. If it is, then those responsible need to be in prison and not in the Senate

"I'm going to vote for Herschel Walker no matter what, and I'll make up any crazy shit that suits me to justify it to others." So when they tell you with a straight face that they consider Walker the more moral choice in a contest with the pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church (successor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.), it's because their consciences have been seared over as with a hot iron (a biblical reference I'm confident this young woman is not familiar with).
