Republicans playing doctor... is this what you want, America?

[ck4829]

Yesli Vega, a Latina police officer with the Prince William County Sheriff’s Office, won the Republican primary for Virginia’s Seventh Congressional District in late June, beating out a crowded field to face incumbent Democrat Rep. Abigail Spanberger this fall.

A week after Vega’s primary win, comments by her questioning whether it’s harder for rape victims to become pregnant went public. Vega’s remarks were captured on tape and delivered anonymously to the press.

Spanberger is intent on capitalizing on Vega’s mistake, at a moment when polling shows that the Supreme Court’s June ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which ended federal abortion protections, is bolstering Democrats ahead of the November midterms.

“I have an opponent who doesn’t even understand the basic biology, doubts whether you can get pregnant from rape, is willing to go into her decision about other people’s lives, driven by ideology and her extreme position,” Spanberger said Tuesday in an interview with Yahoo News.

1. EVERY Democratic candidate needs to be emphasizing this, as well.

"Government overreach" is a large part of the reason Kansans voted the way they did when abortion rights were on their ballot. All of them need to be following Spanberger's example.

2. Yep! "Your money, your medical decisions both taken by Republicans playing doctor"

3. Should have been on this since long before Dobbs...

4. We need to throw "death panels!" in their face. Judges will be making your health care decisions.

5. Exactly, these "ethics committees" that will decide if a pregnant woman is in enough danger does

Sound kinda “death panel-y” to me.
