Gov. Andy Beshear (D-Ky) made the case for a nationwide, anytime, anywhere right to a publicly funded abortion by posing a hypothetical scenario for Republican vice-presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (Ohio). "Let's imagine for a moment that Senator Vance's wife is raped and impregnated by a criminal who illegally entered the country through our porous southern border," Beshear posited. "Wouldn't the Senator want his wife to have the option to abort that child?"
Vance pointed out that "the Democrats want to impose their extreme abortion position on every state in the union. The US Supreme Court wisely recognized that there is no united view on the abortion issue and struck down 1973's Roe v. Wade's unconstitutional creation of a nationwide right to abortion. Since there is nothing in the Constitution granting the federal government authority over abortion it is a power reserved to the states by the Tenth Amendment."
"Look, only a tiny percentage of pregnancies are the result of rape," Vance said. "Most of the states that have sought to limit abortions make exceptions for rape and incest, but even if some states don't allow this exception there will be others like New York and California that will allow abortions on demand. Women who feel the need to terminate the life of their baby will be able to get to a state that will accommodate them. Organizations that support this deadly option can raise funds and assist these women to accomplish this goal."
Beshear objected, saying "no woman should have to seek reproductive medical care in another state. Nor should she have to raise funds to pay for it herself or rely on charity. It is the federal government's obligation to ensure that every doctor, nurse, clinic, and hospital in the nation provides this critically needed service and to fund it. The Harris/Walz ticket will make this happen if they win in November."
Meanwhile, Democratic vice-presidential nominee Minnesota Governor Tim Walz confirmed Beshear's interpretation of the Harris/Walz ticket's intentions, saying "no one has the right to deny any woman's decision to terminate her pregnancy--not the father, not the church, and not the government. As for the so-called baby's right to life, as Kramer so sagely pointed out in a gripping episode of Seinfeld, 'it's not a pizza until it comes out of the oven.' The same holds true on this issue. It's not a baby until it comes out of the womb. Until then it has no rights we are bound to respect."

Interesting...Since the black CEO of Planned Parenthood admitted their racism even after their founder died, are dems suggesting that black women sue the abortion movement into bankruptcy and force all women into back alley abortions????? After all, that admission means black women were never given a choice or body autonomy......
Shame on Gov. Andy Beshear’s mother for not aborting him!
Can you impeach a governor in Kentucky?
I see what you did there!
Yet another good one, John, although how you manage to keep one step ahead of reality is a mystery to me.
