This is an unfair characterization of their views though. It would be like saying “Hillary ran on women having the right to slaughter and rip babies limb from limb into a bloody mess. This is what her feminist base wants.” Would that sound like an accurate assessment of the pro-choice position to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. I was part of a group that took several trailers of donations down. (Not bragging. Ultimately, my motivations were selfish.) We talked to a guy in Waveland who stayed home with his two little girls. They had to escape the house by swimming from a second floor window to a tree. During the storm. Smdh. Still felt sorry for the guy. He was worried FEMA would leave before they bulldozed his house. Hope you and your family pulled through ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like when it’s said the Trump admin rips/tears/claws infant children out of the arms of their mothers, picks them up, and throws them through the air into cages. Spot on, Titan.

I stopped counting how many times I’ve been referred to as a baby killer because I’m a Democrat. So we are characterized that way. And Trump did say women should be punished for having an abortion. Evangelicals, you, me and a few others excluded, got behind that. Their goal is to abolish Roe v Wade and that’s why they cast their lot with Trump.
