In reply to the discussion: What the Hell Happened With Bernie Sanders's Abortion Comments This Week? [View all]FreeBe
(104 posts)I read another poster here state that Sanders answer was good, and it would be something that we would have to question as a society. Someone who is supposedly on our side, a Democrat bought into and now believes that women and girls are aborting due to sex. Something that has probably never come up in this posters mind now thinks that this is an issue and just one more person in the sea of voices we have to fight with a misperception. A falsehood.
Sanders did women harm. Sanders should have been informed his answer was poorly stated and not factual. A leader then should have stood up and put out a correction on his statement clearly saying that he got thrown by the question and clarify that sex selection is NOT happening in the U.S. That the question was RW.
So Sanders was so uninformed to not have a clue when he answered. But, he does not have the courage or respect for the issue and our women and girls to make the correction and try to undue the harm that he initially did with this comment.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
