In response to the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that a majority of justices appear willing to overturn Roe v. Wade, which made abortion legal in this country, Republicans put out a memo to their senators advising them on how to respond.
It says, in part, according to Axios, which obtained the memo:
"Expose the Democrats for the extreme views they hold. Joe Biden and the Democrats have extreme and radical views on abortion that are outside of the mainstream of most Americans."
It's valid to ask Democrats, including the president, what, if any, restrictions on abortion they support, considering that 47 Democratic senators and President Biden supported the Women's Health Protection Act, which would remove any "medically unjustified restrictions."

The right has been lying about abortion since the start of Roe. They quote wrong numbers. They invented the phrase "partial-birth" which does not exist. The list goes on.
All this is nothing more than catering to the religious right. A bunch of hypocrites.

A1C Michael Allen - Over 90% of abortions are in the first 15 weeks, and as noted by MSG Stan Hutchison, an intact D&E is only done when the mother's life is at risk.

A1C Michael Allen - do you believe that the life of the fetus is more important than the life of the mother?

A1C Michael Allen - Because the right tries to use those numbers to incite followers, even though those numbers are low and only for the life of the mother.
More lies from the right.

OK, let's not hear anything more from the right about freedom or individual liberties.

"Roe v Wade took abortion out of the hands of states where it belonged."
Incorrect. It belongs in the hands of the woman and her doctor.
