It is more then that, they think the rest of the world is all the most liberal parts of the US with none of the conservative "flaws".

They live in a bubble and never notice.

I sometimes wonder if they have ever read an actual book or gone anywhere that they did not stay in a Potemkin village.

They are not smart, interesting or curious and I have to wonder why people bother with them.

We are 1 of 7 countries in the world that allows late term abortion. For instance, China, Cuba, Vietnam and Belgium. Can’t remember the other 2 but we’re definitely not in good company. 😢

LoL. Must be awesome being on the left. You don’t have to know anything. And you still get to be the popular kids in charge of all the institutions.

Does he have any idea how dangerous and unusual it is for a liberal to acknowledge an actual fact?

Worse. They think the whole world is like the Democrat party.

I’m on several international forums. I have seen lefties make themselves look unbelievably ridiculous (and I know that’s saying something!) by joining and talking as if everyone outside the US had exactly the same political opinions they did.

So many of them, honestly and truly, believe that Republicans are the only people in the world who disagree with them.

How about free sterilization for Leftists? “To save the planet from climate change.” They might fall for it.

8 states (AK, CO, NH, NJ, NM, OR, VA, VT) and DC allow abortion through birth. Only two countries allow abortion through birth (China and North Korea).

By reason of Roe v. Wade, abortions are allowed in all other states through month six.

41 states allow abortion under state law to “viability” or 3rd or 4th month. All but two democratic countries limit abortion to month three. The other two (Netherlands and Singapore) allow abortion in month four for nationals only (no fourth-month abortion tourism). Canada doesn’t have a national abortion law, but all of its provinces follow the three month rule.

1 state (Texas) allows abortion under state law to 1 and 1/2 month.

I will describe the German law: until month three, the women is protected from prosecution for abortion because of privacy. After month three, a pregnancy can be terminated for an urgent reason but the unborn baby has to be saved if this is possible.

He has a good point. 8 states (AK, CO, NH, NJ, NM, OR, VA, VT) and DC allow abortion through birth (42+ weeks). Only two countries allow abortion through birth (China and North Korea).

The majority of European countries limit abortions to a max of 12 weeks gestational age. In the U.K, women can have an abortion up until 24 weeks of pregnancy. In the Netherlands t 22 weeks. Many have mandatory waiting periods and mandatory counseling for abortion on request. Laws in fifteen European countries still require a mandatory time period to elapse between the date on which an abortion is first requested and the date on which it takes place. These countries are: Albania, Armenia, Belgium, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Russian Federation, Slovak Republic and Spain.

Last time abortion came up, Maher was surprised to find that the “right to privacy” was not in the Constitution. At least he confesses his ignorance.
