Rep. Slotkin (D-MI): My opponent recently removed any mention of choice from his website

Elissa Slotkin
@ElissaSlotkin
US House candidate, MI-07

My opponent recently removed any mention of choice from his website, hiding his 100% pro-life stance. According to him, it’s not an issue that’s important to voters, saying the update was likely “based upon the issues that were most salient right now.”

Looks like another Republican candidate has removed abortion language from his website.

This time it’s Tom Barrett, who is challenging Elissa Slotkin for a U.S. House seat in Michigan.

Women are not government owned incubators, in spite of the despicable work of the American Taliban, a.k.a., the radicalized Republican party.

Aside from the Ted Bundy and Jeffery Dalmer types we are all pro-life. Pro-life is supporting the life of every woman out there and her ability to choose what she knows is best for herself.

Assholes like Barrett screamed about abortion when it didn't matter. Now that it does, he runs away from it like the sniveling coward he is.

Namely that Republicans don't really have values, and people might get the wrong impression from a Republican who appears to have values. Gotta squelch that shit toot fuckin' sweet.
