"Abortion should be the business of a woman, her doctor, and her local political leaders," says Oz.

Let's get local politicians out of the consulting room!

I'LL MAKE THAT DECISION FOR YOU, OK?



1. CALL, TEXT, EMAIL YOUR GOOD FRIENDS
Thanks to jxla for the tip.
Friends Ask Friends to Vote
https://www.aclu.org/news/voting-rights/midterms-friends-ask-friends-to-vote

First, make a list of your people: friends, family, and community groups you are a part of; people you see regularly; and people you work with. Next, identify who on that list aligns with our ACLU values, but may not always vote. Then, let them know there’s an important election coming up and help them make a plan to vote (when, where, and how). Call them if you usually call them, text them if you typically text them, or talk to them when you see them next. We’ll also provide you with a conversation guide

2. MAIL POSTCARDS!

1. A totally disqualifying statement IMO.

That idiot has absolutely no political instincts (see crudités, 9 houses, and living in Jersey but running in PA.).

2. The woman's choice, period!

[Midnight Writer]

3. I reckon that means that old hillbilly who has an office out at the old Township shed?

I don't think he should be poking around on pregnant women and deciding their fate.

The thing is, Oz doesn't think it should be the business of the doctors and the woman. He wants the "local political leader" to make the decision and the woman and her doctor to comply.

4. THAT is among the most memorable debate quotes of the last 50 years.

I would rank it right up there with "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."

6. Sometimes, a blatant quote like this exposes true intent, and arouses mass indignation.

Like this:


"Extremism in defense of Liberty" .... bullshit.
People only heard EXTREMISM,
and that legacy stuck like stink on a skunk with the GOP to this day.

The party that urged "no government interference" wants government to micromanage in your personal life.
They are traitors to their (former) philosophy, to the country and all its citizens.
NOTHING in their

• Racism
• Homophobia
• Antisemitism
• Violent sedition and insurrection
• Misogyny, and
• LIES AS BIG AS THE GALAXY

is American.
Puppets of Putin, the butcher who surpasses Hitler in cruelty, they are.

Next will be his similar advice for folks of a different religion or race.
