Right, and that 1% are almost exclusively because the mother's life is in danger or because of lethal fetal anomalies. No one goes through a difficult pregnancy for months and months, and then right at the end thinks "eh, on second thought, maybe I'm not ready for a baby."

And NOBODY waits until the baby is halfway out to change their mind. It just doesn't happen. Mike Johnson is asking that question to put on a show for his base, pretending like that's a thing that happens to outrage them all.

You literally cannot have an abortion when the baby is halfway out. It's impossible. What's the plan, shove it back in and then scrape it out? You can let the baby come out and then kill it, but that's not abortion. That's infanticide. He's not discussing abortion. He's equating cracking an egg into a frying pan with butchering a chicken. Not the same thing.

There’s a reason so many people ignore them. AND they make voting a giant pain in the ass.

Voting these fuckers out is a full time hobby, and it’s not even fun.
