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.

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.
