Were there no other candidates in the primary?
Of course, abortions haven't always been lethal to congressional campaigns. Scott DesJarlais makes this guy look like a saint.
It’s about the rights and welfare of third parties: the unborn.
Sadly common I have seen it in my own life.
People are pro life until they are faced with an inconvenience, a hardship, or shame.
I have also seen women carry to term under incredible pressure to kill. Should some of us are truly prolife.
Abortion is literally the 21st century equivalent of slavery, and will tear the country apart unless its banned, since it undermines all other inalienable rights.
A: “When did you stop beating your wife?”
“I respected her rights and actually gave her money to help her through her important, critical time so she could live her best life,” Holtorf said.
Usually when the media is piling on a Republican, I’ll be quick to defend. Not this time. This guy is an a-hole, and the media efforts to paint him as a hypocrite are, unfortunately, justifiable.
He makes all of us look like hypocrites. Why serve a fastball over the middle of the plate to your enemies?
“Because I’m a pro-life Catholic”
No you’re not, Holtorf. You paid for your girlfriend’s abortion.
You are an accomplice in murder.
Clark is antifa. Completely welcome in their circle.
“A-hole”???
He’s an accessory to murder.
The guy is pathetic if he cannot quickly a succinctly explain his position on this topic or any topic.
Typical phony politician, just says what he thinks will get him elected.
Too often, principles are compromised for convenience. His first mistake was not paying for the abortion, but the events leading up to it.
I agree. He could have told her he would take the child and raise it, while paying all the expenses of her pre birth & birth expenses.
Fair enough.
> Abortion is literally the 21st century equivalent of slavery… <
Correct. Most slave owners kept slaves for economic reasons. Most women have abortions for economic reasons.
And in both cases, the defenders defend the practice because the victims “aren’t really people”. They are something else, something less.
1 st mistakeHow about getting a girlfriend pregnant? 9 actually timeline gors back before that)
Exactly.
THE MAN GETS NO SAY !
if he objected he'd get ignored.
so the whole urinalist gotcha is based on a false presupposition.
he could not stop his girlfriend , or even if she was his wife, from getting an abortion.
whether he is for or against it is a misdirection.
urinalists train in misdirection, its their forte.
Once again, the problem with the left is they keep trying to make Abortion a Federal issue. They first did it by stacking the Supreme Court with liberals and giving us Roe v Wade. Before that it was a State Right. Now, finally after a half a century of 5-6 people making a moral decision for the entire nation, the SCOTUS sent the issue back to the states. We once again have FREEDOM to decide the issue on a State basis.
Unfortunately, the Liberals believe that if they don’t get what they want they must use the Federal Government to impose that will on everyone. They cannot respect that it should be left to people to vote in State representatives to decide such issues locally. They don’t like the idea of Democracy-and you don’t get closer to ‘democracy’ in a Representative Republic than you do at local and state elections.
Simply put, Abortion existed before 1790, and that is an undisputed fact. Abortion is not listed in the Constitution, or the first 10 Amendments. Which means when our nation was formed, it was ALWAYS going to be covered under the 10th Amendment—A STATE RIGHT.
If the Democrats and the rest of the nation feel so strongly that that the State’s should be denied this right, there is a process to make that happen. It’s called a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
I have long since grown tired of the Abortion issue, and the division that it causes among American’s. By all means Liberals, who claim to believe in ‘Democracy’ either change it at the State Legislatures or send it for the Amendment process. Don’t want to do that, then you don’t really believe in Democracy or the Republic do you. You just want what you want at the expense of everyone’s freedoms.
