This governor’s answer on abortion leaves, um, something to be desired

Which brings me to this exchange between Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves and NBC’s Chuck Todd on Sunday:

Todd: You’ve just said that you believe life begins at conception. If there is legislation brought to you to ban contraception, would you sign it?

Reeves: Well, I don’t think that’s going to happen in Mississippi. I’m sure they’ll have those conversations in other states.

Todd: But you’re not answering the question.

Reeves: As is always the case with things – well, that’s always the case. There’s so many things that we can talk about.

Um, that doesn’t sound terribly clear?

Todd is asking Reeves a simple question: If the Mississippi state legislature passed legislation that would outlaw contraception, would he sign it?

The answer, generally speaking, is “yes” or “no.” Not “as always is the case with things – well that’s always the case.”

I know some contraceptives are abortifacients or may act like one but this is a stretch. Women won’t give up contraceptives.

Smart people don’t answer hypotheticals. Because the hypothetical is always a trap.

***************

Yep the desired part is there isn’t a final bill to
look at or to pass/reject.

Neither will men.

But this seems to be the talking point line of attack.

Nonsense of course.

But liberals are well known for not having any functioning brain cells.

The “What if” questions again.
What if a bill that allows the shooting of all reporters lands on his desk? Will he sigh it?
