In his remarks, not only does Johnson claim Roe “gave constitutional cover to the elective killing of unborn children,” but he rails against the imagined economic detriments of abortion, pushing his caucus’ outlandish claim that by depleting a hypothetical workforce, abortion has defunded social security: “Think about the implications of that on the economy. We’re all struggling here to cover the bases of social security and Medicare and Medicaid and all the rest,” Johnson says. “If we had all those able-bodied workers in the economy we wouldn’t be going upside down and toppling over like this… Roe was a terrible corruption.” Mind you, social security and health care have been gutted in the last several years by Republican lawmakers, not people who choose to end a pregnancy.
This, Pro-Life doesn’t mean what it used to back in the 90’s
Used to it meant you just wanted some common sense restrictions, now it means you think women should be state mandated broodmares.
At least that’s as far as the general public is concerned, the GOP needs to find a new angle if they want to keep this ban a rolling.
What kind of common sense restrictions are you talking about?
Same that most of Europe has, can’t do it in later semesters unless there is something clearly wrong with the baby, or said baby is product of rape or incest.
I’m not a monster I just think we need to be sure that we are doing the right thing when we terminate a human life. Kind of like how you don’t euthanize a patient who is expected to get better even if they are in pain.
