still got (white) dudes on fb arguing that IT’S OKAY! BERNIE IS PRO-CHOICE! as if that is the same as him protecting that right, politically, or making sure comprehensive reproductive care is not an acceptable loss in the quest for single-payer or wev.
conveniently these same dudes seem surprised that i expect abortion to be included in ‘comprehensive reproductive care’.
BUT ABORTION IS LEGAL! STOP FIXATING ON SINGLE ISSUES, B!
ABORTION IS A NECESSARY PART OF REPRODUCTIVE CARE AND LACK OF SUCH IS A ROOT CAUSE OF MUCH OF THE POVERTY IN THE US.YOU WANT TO MINIMIZE POVERTY, YOU HAVE TO KEEP ABORTION SAFE, LEGAL, AND EASILY AVAILABLE
i thought this post was about bernie rosenthal and i was Very Confused
To those who can’t read the screenshots:
Lifetime pro-choice record, plus funding for family planning
Where does Bernie stand with regard to women’s reproductive health?
A: Bernie believes in protecting a woman’s right to choose and has a lifetime pro-choice record:
In 1993, he co-sponsored the Freedom of Choice Act, which aimed to bar states from restricting the right to terminate a pregnancy before fetal viability or at any time when a termination is necessary to protect the health of a woman.
In April 2012, Bernie wrote “We are not returning to the days of back-room abortions, when countless women died or were maimed. The decision about abortion must remain a decision for the woman, her family and physician to make, not the government.”
Bernie voted numerous times to allow women to travel interstate for abortions, supported permitting federal funding of organizations that conduct abortions, and voted to increase access and funding for family planning for women.
In light of these votes, Bernie has repeatedly received ratings of 100% from NARAL Pro-Choice America From http://www.ontheissues.org/Social/Bernie_Sanders_Abortion.htm You can support whoever you like, but let’s not make shit up about the guy, hmm?
CONGRATS! YOU JUST DEMONSTRATED EXACTLY WHAT I SAID.
People are responding to this post with ‘yeah! Bernie is really bad for abortion rights!’ so I don’t think you communicated your message very well.
On the contrary, you are grossly misunderstanding the message.
Bernie considers abortion access an acceptable loss. A bargaining chip to make nice with anti-choicers, including so-called anti-choice Democrats (an oxymoron).
He can be as pro-choice as you or me, but if he doesn’t protect access, then he’s no good to any of us for whom access is part of our comprehensive care.
I’m sorry you can’t read between the lines.
… and Obamacare will lead to death panels and we’re all going to be herded into hobbit homes by the UN. Yeah, I think we’re done here. If you can look at s lifetime’s support for abortion and 100% rating by a pro choice organisation and think ‘he’s going to ban abortion!’, you’re not reading between the lines, you’re projecting so hard we could use you for PowerPoint presentations.
