(1,349 posts)Heath Mello was pushing far right wing bills that threatened women's lives.
It's hypocrisy to pretend to be liberal and to pretend to be for human rights while endorsing a guy who wrote bills that specifically denied them.
He was literally to the right of the Republican, marching in lockstep with the terrorists who were seeking to raise an already high maternal mortality rate even higher, by denying medical care to women, several different bills. If unity is the goal, backing far right wing nut jobs who seek to kill women in numerous ways is a pretty idiotic way to go about it, but that tour showed that it wasn't ever about unity. Marching in lockstep with Republicans in regard to women's basic human rights is really just taking orders from on high, when those orders are from an organization that has no principles and seeks only to join with the Ted Cruzes of the world to attack Democrats and women.
