New York magazine: "What Marco Rubio Doesn’t Want You to Know About His Abortion Position"

[Attorney in Texas]

Link; excerpt:

Marco Rubio opposes the legal right to abortion, even in cases of rape or incest. This extreme position would pose a significant liability in a general election. But since Rubio still has to win the nomination, he can’t wriggle out of it yet. Instead he is obfuscating. Rubio’s explanation of his position to Evan Osnos left Osnos scratching his head:

When I asked Rubio about it, he said, somewhat confusingly, “Look, I personally believe that all life is worthy of protection, and therefore I don’t ever require, nor have I ever advocated, that I won’t support a law unless it has exceptions.” After some more twists and turns, I sensed that we had reached the line he plans to use in a general election: “My goal is to save as many lives as possible, and I’ll support anything that does that. Even if it has exceptions.”

Here’s what Rubio is up to. Rubio wants to restrict access to abortion, even in cases of rape and incest. He doesn’t want to say that, though. So instead he is changing the question to "Would you support a bill to restrict abortion that did not contain exceptions?" And yes, Rubio says, he would. But that does not mean he wouldn’t also support a bill that restricted abortion with no exceptions.

1. Rubio like all cons are furious that Women have sex without them.

Therefore they want to kill them in back alleys during forced, illegal abortions.

I wish what I was saying was an exaggeration.



BTW, they are going to do this if they take the WH...take THAT to the fucking bank

2. I think you are probably right.

There is no way these warmongers and hate mongers care about a clump of cells. They want to punish women.
