(61,695 posts)1. Yeah, GOPers' ideal leader, Trump, backtracked on abortion
last summer when Roe was overturned. IQ45 said the new position might be too extreme. Previously, he had stated that women who get abortions deserve jail time.

Mostly money grubbing, tax dodging, low paying republicans, that's who! Their cheap labor pool would be replaced by people with green cards who can demand a fair wage.
