Trump hates women
The theocrats marching to demand a restoration of forced pregnancy got a boost from the Trumpists today.
Abortion opponents gathered on Friday in Washington for their annual march, which has taken place every year since 1974 to protest the Supreme Court’s 44-year-old Roe v. Wade decision from 1973.
■ Vice President Mike Pence, the highest-ranking official to ever speak in person at the march, told the crowd that “life is winning.”
■ Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Trump, also addressed the crowd.
■ The march drew thousands of activists.
They want to make sure women go back to being victims of their own bodies.
In previous years, no president or vice president has ever addressed the march in person. This year, the Trump administration will be out in full force with the appearances of Mr. Pence and Ms. Conway.
President Trump, in one of his first official acts, signed an order prohibiting foreign aid to health providers abroad who discuss abortion as a family-planning option. And in a break with previous Republican presidents, he has embraced the idea of a litmus test for his Supreme Court nominees and pledged explicitly to name someone who opposes abortion. He said he would announce his choice on Thursday to fill the seat left vacant by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia last February.

From the NYT article:
Except women, of course.
I fumed over that bit. Wishing I could say to her face: “Not if it requires the use of the body of someone else for nine months.”
We need to start sending youth serum to Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
“Life” isn’t winning the majority of popular support…
BkiSA – popular support? Trump is sure he has that. He makes up the numbers, and is satisfied with them, so the fact he hasn’t got that support isn’t going to change anything. He knows that is a big fat lie of the lying dishonest media, and he can ignore that.
My only hope is that there are some sane Republicans out there who recognize that – but they’ve set the system up so nicely now, they’ve made it more difficult to elect Democrats. That will only get worse if they are in charge of state houses following the next census.
And even if they do fail, as long as they believe they are going to keep winning elections, they will do what they want. Once it’s done, no matter how many Dems we elect, it’s going to be hard to get back what they take away.
It’s hard to fight against popular support forever… the younger reds trend towards non-economic liberalism overall. They’ve won the battle but the war’s gonna fuck’em (not soon enough unfortunately).
‘…victims of their own bodies’
No, victims of their OWNERS.
No, victims of their own bodies. Pregnancy is something a woman’s own body can do without her consent, and she should be free to reject it just as she rejects illness with medication or hunger with food.
