Lies

Please remind me why I bothered to vote for these spineless bozos? I’m sick to death of being threatened with the revocation of Roe v. Wade if Republicans regain power, when Democrats are willing to do the dirty work of stripping women of access to legal medical care themselves. It’s bad enough to be beaten with the stick, but when they start hitting us with the goddamn carrot, too, it starts to feel a little like Stockholm syndrome. And then they have the gall to demand that we keep voting for them? I don’t think so.

From the Democratic Party Platform:

Choice

The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right.

The Democratic Party also strongly supports access to comprehensive affordable family planning services and age-appropriate sex education which empower people to make informed choices and live healthy lives. We also recognize that such health care and education help reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and thereby also reduce the need for abortions.

The Democratic Party also strongly supports a woman’s decision to have a child by ensuring access to and availability of programs for pre- and post-natal health care, parenting skills, income support, and caring adoption programs.

Lies, lies, lies. It’s all lies.
