Gee thanks Meghan McCain for introducing "partial birth abortion" back into the public discussion

of a woman's right to choose.

Today Pete Buttigeig tried patiently to explain the morality of the pro-choice position on abortion and she listened, huffed and said it was "radical," so it was not worthy of any further discussion by her.Discussion begins at 24:11.

1. She had already decided her responses before he even spoke

The way she looked at the audience with an expression that was pretty close to disdain when they clapped for him disgusted me. She's always doing that crap. I really don't like her one bit.

2. I think she knows she is only there as a punching bag for liberal guests so she does her bit.

She's just not real bright, IMO...her view on abortion is medieval...

Thought of her and changed my mind. It just wasn't the kind of morning where I felt like tolerating her.

7. She is spoiled, uneducated and clueless. I can't believe she went to Columbia University.

My son got his undergrad degree there. he's smart, liberal and my hero.

In this clip she just said she represented everyone who is conservative in the country. Dear god...

6. It seems today was a bad one, all around, for Ms McCain

She also got into a tiff with Whoopie - never a smart move - and then got into it, with the producers, right in front of the audience.

And what triggered this? Whoopie having the nerve to point out to Meghan that she's twice as old, and perhaps has some knowledge and perspective that Meghan should listen to.

I'm hoping she quits the show. I used to watch, but just can't stand the way Motor Mouth McCain tries to dominate every segment, and play the professional victim.

9. Ugh. There is no such thing as a "late term abortion"

The idea of using "late term" for abortion is imprecise and essentially a way to move goal posts. And those who LIE ABOUT ABORTION don't get to control the language, the EXPERTS do.

An article by Dr. Jen Gunter, OBGYN on how to respond to a question about "late term abortion" a procedure that doesn't exist.

11. It's been explained to her before at length why partial birth abortion isn't a thing.
