On Wednesday, Harris sat down for a discussion in Michigan — her second on reproductive rights this year — with Amanda Stratton, a "conservative, pro-choice woman" and mother, and a self-styled "recovering Republican" in Olivia Troye, who worked in the Trump administration as a national security official.

"I don’t think 10, five or even maybe two years ago, we would have been talking about reproductive rights and elections, because it was seen as too controversial, not a winning issue — and frankly, it seemed like settled law," Troye said.

"The number of stories that I’ve heard about women, and their partners, their spouses, their families silently suffering," Harris said. A key to her public policy mindset is to consider how a given policy impacts a real human being — in this case, a mother who has become pregnant and needs an abortion, but lives in a state with stringent, restrictive abortion laws. "So think about what we’re saying to her: God help her if she’s got extra money to buy a plane ticket, and for a hotel room…go to a city where she’s never been to recieve this care, only to get back as soon as she can because she’s got to take care of those kids," she said. "Think about what we’re putting people through."

Stratton, a mother who shared her issues with miscarriage and secondary infertility — infertility for pregnancies after the first childbirth — told Harris that she’s found her expereinces to be common, but rarely discussed. And though her question moved away from miscarriage, Harris later circled back to note that the GOP’s vice presidential nominee, J.D. Vance, has blocked protections for IVF …

“Why does the cackler want to murder children in the womb?”

Because it’s a liberal talking point that has nothing to do with reality. To them it is an illusion. But overall it is completely disenfranchising state level voters for making their own decisions on how to handle the issue. For them it is a tool to power and taking over lives.

“”I don’t think 10, five or even maybe two years ago, we would have been talking about reproductive rights and elections,”

That is the biggest lie since “if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.” There isn’t a single day democrats aren’t screaming about their lust for killing babies. Every erection (HT Chuck Shumer) from local dog catcher on up the democrats make about killing babies.
