In a new ad running in Minnesota, Scott Jensen, the Republican nominee for governor, says abortion is a "protected constitutional right" in the state, and he's "not running" to change that. Jensen's ad makes sense politically. A June poll found that
"Abortion is not going to heal a rape victim. It will only make things worse," Birk said.
Yeah these mopes are brazen all right. Any woman, anybody for that matter who believes anything a republican says at this point is a fool looking to be parted from his/her money. A Kleenex to be used and tossed when no longer useful. Some kind of masochist.
Thank you, again, Judd. Your investigations and research are extremely important and timely.
It occurs to me how WE, your subscribers, all know how we are going to vote in November.
The PROBLEM is getting your discoveries, reports and facts to tens of millions of voters. That requires the news media to carry and continue your investigations and reporting.
>>>>> But all of us MUST Remember: ...
>>>>> The purpose of The Media is to MAKE MONEY.
>>>>> Truth, not so much.
So we need profit-based arguments to present to the news media so they see a self-interest in reporting the truth.
> One idea I had is to ASSEMBLE A LIST of sympathetic journalists of the main publications, for US to forward summaries and URLs to your research and reports.
Email systems make it easy to create a group from that list of, say 100 names and emails, so that WE can push your important, wonderful journalism into their faces (cough cough)
What do you think? Would this work or help? American democracy is more at-risk every single day.
Thank you, all readers, for considering this. Other ideas should be promoted here and to Judd as well.
I live I'm Minnesota and I've been appalled at Jensen's positions on abortion, but not surprised. He is an MD who consistently spread disinformation regarding the vaccine and referred to Covid as the flu. He seems to delight in being in direct opposition to guidance from The American Medical Association, who referred to the RvW decision as an "egregious allowance of government intrusion into the medical examination room." Imagine my delight when I read your piece this morning. I'm going to post this EVERYWHERE! I'm a member of several progressive groups in MN and will spread your piece far and wide. Keep up the good work and continue to call out the hypocrisy!
The sad/scary thing is that many people will buy in to the lies. Here's hoping that not enough do to (for example) flip the Minnesota Governor's mansion, the Colorado Senate seat, etc., etc........
These people have a bottomless pit to sink low. RepubliCons employ gimmicks, lies & delusions to grab power. Life is of no real concern to them after birth. They never scream about the multitudes of wars killing babies. They never want to give a small child of color food programs etc.
But I have pretty good confidence in Minnesota voters. They’re not going to put a republican in. I lived in MN for years. Formerly, I think many Minnesotans were centrists but they know fascism when they see it. Too many Democratic voters here to let a right wing nut in. Not now.
That quote by Birk should disqualify him from ever running for public office but the far-right will eat that crap up. The deceitfulness and constant lying from the right is almost too much to take. If you're a republican, we know you're most likely pro-life. I hope this is picked up nationally and I hope these democratic counterparts call out their hypocrisy at every turn. This needs to be picked up nationally and reported on by more outlets. These people are on record saying abortion needs to be banned no matter what and now that its about to be election season, they are lying to get votes. I hope that voters are smart enough to see through this obvious lie. We need more women in public office.
The supreme court's timing on this issue shows how out of touch they are with reality. Had they waited till after the midterms they might have assisted the Republican party in gaining a couple of senate seats. As things stand, they have handed the Democratic party a once in a lifetime opportunity to sweep both congress and the senate. Mitch may have won some battles in his SC crusade, but his party will surely lose the war, bigly.
Does any thinking American not know they’ll just lie brazenly now? To fulfill the ’win at any cost’ platform Republican pols have run on for decades? Forget clever semantics or misrepresentation, now it’s just openly lie. Their party leader does it with relish, to his detriment even. Why shouldn’t they?
It's general knowledge that all politicians lie, either subilty or blatantly, but now TFG has trained them that their lies are irrelevant and have little or no effect on how many votes they get. We need to see to it that liars are exposed and lies are debunked or we can kiss democracy good-bye.
It isn't the first time Republicans have flip-flopped, lied and pandered for votes. They're simply counting on people with poor memories, and low information voters, to carry the election for them.
How much could you trust an elected official who will do anything, say anything to gain office? About as far as I could throw Trump. Are these the people we want in charge of our government? Trump proved time and again he was only out for himself. These little "Trumpettes" are the same.
From the article: Birk, who appears with Jensen in the video, says that "deep down, women don't really want to have abortions."
Listen, dipshit Birk, no one, and I mean no one, WANTS an abortion. It is an agonizing personal decision between the woman, her SO (or not depending on the circumstances) and her doctor.

Vote Blue. Your life depends upon it!

If you can't trust them on the campaign trail,
Don't trust them in office! 😡

Abortion is on every ballot. Full stop.

As usual, you deserve the Nobel for exposure of hypocrisy. Thank you for your fine work.
