President Pussygrabber tells women to hit the road
Trump contentedly told 60 Minutes that women will have to “go to another state” if Roe v Wade is thrown out.
Affirming his campaign pledge to appoint Supreme Court justices who oppose abortion, President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday said that women would “have to go to another state” to get an abortion if the court were to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“Having to do with abortion, if it ever were overturned, it would go back to the states,” he said in his first post-election interview, on CBS’ “60 Minutes.”
“Yeah, but then some women won’t be able to get an abortion?” Lesley Stahl asked.
Trump responded: “Yeah, well, they’ll perhaps have to go, they’ll have to go to another state.”
When Stahl asked if he thought that was acceptable, Trump said to wait and see.
We don’t need to wait and see, we know how that is. It’s what there used to be. It’s not some mysterious unfathomable imaginary possibility, it’s our former reality and current reality in places like Ireland and Poland and much of South America. It’s bad. We know that.
[A]s president, Trump could chip away at abortion access. He ran his campaign pledging to appoint “pro-life judges” to the Supreme Court and to allow states to outlaw abortion, frequently saying that the issue “should go back to the states.” In addition, his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R), has a history of opposing abortion and restricting reproductive rights in his state.
And punishing women, just to be on the safe side.
So if he’s saying “they’ll have to go to another state” it doesn’t sound like he’s all that against abortion. He’s just going through the motions. I guess for him, women’s reproductive rights don’t matter much: they’re just a handy bargaining chip to keep the conservatives on side. And women’s reproductive rights don’t matter much, because women as a political force are weak. Which is exactly how conservatives want it, and try to keep it.
And it’s easy for him to say. He can just drop things and go to another state. Many women have trouble affording an abortion even if it’s available in their own home town. Most women who need to end an abortion don’t have ready access to billions of dollars, and don’t live in a gaudy gold tower.
And why should he care about the needs of women? They’re just pussies. Preferably pussies to be grabbed. If by chance one of them should get pregnant, what’s that to him? It’s her worry, and he can just sue her if she claims it’s his.
I don’t think Trump has ever been particularly anti-abortion, before this campaign. Anti-women, sure, but he has held plenty of “liberal” positions.
