Peter, Walz is my Governor and his expressions went far beyond nervousness. I have never seen him look so angry; I thought his head would explode. If looks could kill….(I wish they could!). I’m sure his answers would have been better if he hadn’t been so incensed by Vance’s lies.

I wish he would have responded to the executing babies jab. The truth. Some babies are born who are known in advance to have only minutes or hours to live. The doctors don’t “execute” them. But they decide not to offer full lifesaving intervention, as it is hopeless. That’s the origin of the story (often repeated by TFFG) of the child being born and “the doctors deciding what to do about the baby.”

Our daughter had anencephaly (no brain development). We only found out a week before she was born (35 years ago). She was not given supports to stay alive. She died 10 hours later surrounded by her extended family. She was buried, has a plaque, and is visited on the anniversary of her birthday. She was not aborted, executed, killed. There were no charges for Murder.

This is the lie that the Trump MAGA’s are trotting out.

This is the level the current Republican Party has descended to.

God bless your family and your precious daughter, and thank you for your clear-eyed telling of this painful event. I fear that in today's world your story would have become much more complicated.
