On Sunday, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley declared that protecting the integrity of women’s sports is the women’s issue of our time. On Monday’s edition of The 11th Hour on MSNBC, host Stephanie Ruhle welcomed two men to proclaim that Haley “should be ashamed of herself” and that the real women’s issue of our time is abortion.
Haley also declared that there was a connection between high suicide rates among teenage girls and the movement to allow males to compete against them. After some discussion on how the data does not support that thesis, the conversation moved to the issue itself with Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen declaring that Gen Z is “living in a time of incredible turmoil and rather than understanding that broadly, she is making light of it, she’s trying to score really cheap political points on it. If she has a daughter, she should be ashamed of herself.”
“If” she has a daughter? Earlier, Ruhle played a video of Haley talking about her daughter running track and some in the media tried to make the dress she wore to her daughter’s wedding in April a big controversy.
The strategist who once purported to be a Republican then asked “I mean, what time is she living in? The 1700s, the 1800s? I mean, I’m not sure what time she exists in other than how much longer she has got before the, you know, coffers of her campaign run out.”
Former Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney mockingly followed up, “The woman’s issue of our time –”
Ruhle then interrupted to voice her agreement that she couldn’t believe Haley would say something other than abortion is the women’s issue of our time. Cracking herself up, Ruhle proclaimed, “That’s what I have written down here. The women’s issue of our time, not access to abortion care.”
Maloney, naturally, agreed, “I mean, if you are to make a list of the issues affecting the rights of women in America, you might start with the denial of basic reproductive freedom, guaranteed by the Constitution. Which cynical politicians like Nikki Haley are okay with.”
Of course, abortion isn’t in the Constitution and how is opposing abortion cynical? Yet, Maloney was just getting started. Returning to the issue of school sports, he added:
But look out, I mean, apparently the greatest threat to women in America are that there are some trans kids who might want to play sports in school and it’s offensive and it’s wrong and the fact is that the trans community is still subject to enormous violence in this country and discrimination and this rhetoric gives a permission structure for people to hate on those kids. And it’s wrong.
Anybody who wants to play sports in school should be able to, but they are not entitled to compete against whoever they want when they would unfair advantage over the competition. That is not a “permission structure” to “hate,” it is, as the left likes to say in other contexts, pro-science.

Only if she chooses to have the abortion.
The liberal view, is that pro life pregnancy care centers, are dangerous to women. Because they urge women to carry their pregnancy to term, they are considered dangerous.
They say they are pro choice, but they really want the woman to choose to abort. Making a different choice is considered a bad choice. Go figure.
“I thought it was a woman’s right to choose?”

...
The Democrats think they have a winning issue on Abortion, mainly because they will distort the Republican position. They will try at every opportunity to keep the attention on Abortion and away from the Economy where they are losers.
Can MSNBC even define ‘woman’? Zero credibility.
You see it in the gay, atheist, black & drug communities too. A gay man who isn't hooking up is seen as judging other gays. An atheist will attack a person of faith. A black conservative is seen as self-hating and sparks rage on the Left. Addicts will get offended if you don't participate. The reaction is to destroy a person for making his or her own choices. Where does that rage come from?
The Left has a very strong fascist current. "Unity through fascism" was a phrase Rush used and it's true. You can be anything but who you are. Conform to their normals or suffer the consequences: get cancelled, doxed, de-platformed, lied about, made unemployable and worse.
** Or "birthing person" since they reject "woman" as generally having any particular characteristics
We can’t define what a woman is. Even the brilliant legal minds of Supreme Court Justices cannot define what a woman is.
And you can’t start talking about physical bodies or chromosomes. After all, “woman swimmer” Will Thomas, has a penis. So we can’t talk of penis and vagina or XX or XY, because we aren’t allowed to use such criteria to define men and woman.
And anyway, in other contexts, we are told that there are over 50 gender identities, so this talk of man and woman, is considered hetero normative and binary, which is narrow minded thinking, according to the gender bending activist types.
They aren't held accountable for their false narratives. Their version spreads so far and wide it becomes "common knowledge." Even if it's complete BS like the Russia Hoax, their desperate efforts to falsely link MAGA with white supremacy (with literal hoaxes mind you!), etc.
What is a Woman? and if she really is a Woman, doesn’t she have a Right to Choose???
“Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen..”
Is a sleaze ball groomer.

Not if it’s the right way per the left.
