In reply to the discussion: Why are Sanders AND ELLISON speaking at a rally for a gestational slavery advocate???? [View all]Cha
(319,177 posts)32. I know..I've been gathering clues.. BS said "..he isn't prepared to back Democrats just because of
..a party label.."..
But, BS calls Heath Mello, the aggressively anti-choice, candidate a "progressive"..
Why Is the DNC Embracing an Aggressively Anti-Choice Democrat

He was endorsed in 2010 by anti-choice group Nebraska Right to Life.
Try that ol Establishment Planned Parenthood.

When, Jon Ossoff, who is Pro-Choice, actually is one.. but BS "doesn't know him"..
"Jon Ossoff on the issues, presented in a way Bernie Sanders can understand"

Womens Heath & Planned Parenthood
Ossoff is an unapologetic supporter of the concept of women being able to make their own decisions regarding reproductive health care, and Ossoff is a strong supporter of Planned Parenthood.
What a concept for a "progressive"!!!

National Security
Ossoff has promised to oppose unnecessary military intervention overseas and...only support the use of force where US national security is at stake
Ossoff opposes the use of torture
Ossoff has called for an investigation into "Russian interference in American politics
Ossoff referred to the Iraq War as reckless
Much More.. https://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/04/19/1654449/-Jon-Ossoff-on-the-issues-presented-in-a-way-Bernie-Sanders-can-understan
Jon Ossoff took the high road in Georgia.. I hope he wins so badly.. Nancy Pelosi was there for him as was Samuel L Jackson.. Hollywood came out for him! Alyssa Milano and Christopher Gorham got the Vote out!
We'll never know if a few positive words instead of dismissal could have made the difference from the "most popular politician in America".
Not sure why BS wouldn't want to have gotten to know Jon Ossoff who would have immediately gone to Congress if he had won 50% and we would have had one more Dem to fight the Fascistrumps.

But, BS calls Heath Mello, the aggressively anti-choice, candidate a "progressive"..
Why Is the DNC Embracing an Aggressively Anti-Choice Democrat
snip//
He was endorsed in 2010 by anti-choice group Nebraska Right to Life.
Heath Mello has sponsored a range of anti-choice measures, including a 20-week abortion ban.
Heath Mello is a sponsor of the final version of a 20-week abortion ban approved by the governor in 2010, and cast anti-choice votes in favor of requiring physicians to be physically present for an abortion in order to impede access to telemedicine abortion care, and a law banning insurance plans in the state from covering abortions.
Try that ol Establishment Planned Parenthood.
snip// Dkos pulls their endorsement of Heath Mello
The Daily Kos, which describes itself as a news organization, community, and activist hub, pulled its endorsement of Mello after revelations about the Democrats stance on abortion. The site said it had been unaware of Mellos anti-choice stance, but that as soon as we learned this information, we withdrew our endorsement, because this legislation clearly runs contrary to Daily Kos deepest values, including our support for womens reproductive rights and our staunch opposition to laws that in any way impede womens access to reproductive health care.

So I guess a mayoral election is now more important than a Congressional election. Weird.

I'm glad it's becoming transparent how willing they are to maintain the status quo.
