Kamala Harris knocks JD Vance's stances on abortion, IVF in Michigan campaign event
NY - Channel 1 ^ | July 20, 2024 | Ali Boroughs

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 …

In a 2022 podcast interview, Vance said that he would "like abortion to be illegal nationally…”

By focusing on IVF and “choice,” Kamala and the Dems are going straight for emotions and the most primal fears of many as she avoids touting any of her and Biden’s non-existent record of accomplishment while in office.

In our soundbite age, I pray that Vance and the entire Trump Campaign are prepared.

The rats have been focusing on abortion since Roe. A woman can get an abortion. It isn’t illegal. Immoral, but not illegal. They continue to fight for a cause they already won.

Yeah, killing innocent babies is the cornerstone of their campaign.

Unfortunately their internals show murdering innocent babies resonates with millions of women.

Dismissing this by saying “it’s a state issue now” won’t cut it. They need to go full pro-life to contrast themselves from the butchers.

This “strategy” is doomed to fail.

Running on this primary premise reeks of desperation. Although an issue that will encourage many to vote for the left,it is not the focus of crucial issues we currently face.

This is just pathetic.
All this is designed to do is to get Vance to backtrack and say that he’s “inclusive” too so evangelical voters will leave.
I don’t know why Trump even bothered putting out a campaign statement on abortion earlier.
The issue should be entirely ignored, it’s a huge non-sequitur.

That’s all they have. That’s all they have had for decades.

The very minute women realize what a lie abortion is; that it benefits men only; that they’ve been made into whores and idiots for the sake of the democrats; and that their children they are paying to have murdered inside of their own bodies are being sold piece by murdered piece for the profit of others;

THAT is the minute women will come to their senses and snap out of the hypnotic possession the left has had them under.

I pray to our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ that the Holy Spirit blows a strong wind through our nation and opens so many eyes it will be another revival.

It’s good that all other problems have been solved so that the only thing we can focus on every election is abortion

And the Left wants men to push women off the awards platform. They want young women (and men) sterilized through assault on their natural sexual development.

This is psychological warfare against women - like wife-beating.

Do you want to be a victim, or take the responsibility you have to, to protect yourself?

Sadly, many women won’t realize this until they’ve killed at least one unborn.

The abortion question has shifted back to the states. Those that support or oppose abortion need to fight it at a state level.

Those that are radical pro-abortion would never vote Republican anyway so I am not sure just how effective this will be considering the economy is a mess the open border, the “homeless” and crime are much higher on the list of concerns for Americans.

Killing babies, pedestalizing trans, homo and lesbian filth, wrecking economies, weakening defense, expanding the size of the monolithic government, encouraging riots and thievery: that’s what this lot is all about!

Who would want the rest of their lives with this as the central socialist government’s ruling edict?

All Democrats and RINOs are mentally warped, and their women are ugly

This is how they’re going to drive dispirited voters to the polls ... they’ll paint Vance as some neanderthal who wants to cut off their birth control and restrict abortion. The commercials will be over the top hysterical and wildly inaccurate but that seems to work with hysterical illogical women.

How do people not get that Deep State is using issues like this to gin up games of lets-you-and-him-fight?!

Refuse to play.

WE ARE NO LONGER A REPUBLIC.

Until our republic is restored we should all be one issue voters.

Restoration of the republic cones first.

Unless our republic is restored, the rest DOES NOT MATTER.

Vote to restore out republic.

We can sort everything else out AFTER.

President Trump gets this.

It’s why he was calling for unity.

The republic comes first.
