Earlier in this thread I posted that Mike Pence wants to put in a nationwide abortion ban and was told "I don't understand federalism." Wouldn't that mean Pence is against "state's rights" in this case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said, I read a Rolling Stones article claiming that Pence said there should be a nationwide ban, but I never saw an actual quote of him saying that. It was pretty much the author of the article saying that's what Pence meant, but he said nothing of the kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you confirmed it. He didn't say the the federal government should ban all abortions and that he specifically said "every state". Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 - December 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America. Norman Thomas said this in a 1944 speech: "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's also none of my business, don't care if you murder your baby but, that's exactly what it is. Also, liberals aren't pro choice, they are pro abortion.

MDC 5,902 Posted July 22, 2022 Really weird to me to see the party that nominated a serial philanderer with numerous sexual assault allegations who campaigned for a pedophile go full Bible beater now that he’s out of office. Think Trump would have raised Stormy’s kid if he got her pregnant that time he focked her without a condom? I’m thinking they’d have thrown the cake out.
