We are very sorry that individuals keep trying to shoot Donald Trump. We absolutely do not condone political violence no matter how much we disagree with Trump’s policies and hateful rhetoric. In fact, if Republican politicians would have joined us to pass sensible gun control, these assassination attempts might not have occurred at all. Honestly, we are a little surprised you don’t get nearly this upset when they are shooting our kids at school. Gun violence is gun violence regardless of the target, although Trump does act like he’s in High School.

And while we are talking about killing people… or more aptly, killing children.. let’s talk about killing babies after they are born or what Trump likes to call after birth abortions. It seems to be upsetting so many of you even though it’s not actually a thing. Honestly, we are a little surprised you don’t get nearly this upset when they are shooting our kids at school.

There are different types of abortions: surgical and medical, early stage and late stage, planned and unplanned. They are vastly different but they do have one thing in common: they are healthcare.

No one is pro abortion. We’re pro access to legal and safe abortion when needed. Believe it or not, the ones none of us really like a whole lot are those planned, early ones. The ones where a woman accidentally gets pregnant before she is ready to become a mother. We’d like to reduce how many of those occur, but your GOP elected officials won’t join us in increasing funding for age-appropriate, medically-accurate sex education. Honestly, you won’t join us in supporting any form of sex education, which is odd, because that is a surefire way to reduce the number of abortions.

1. This is wonderful

and well-written. It also sounds like they are trying to use logic on GOP folks. That's never been known to work.

I take issue with “no one likes the planned, early ones”. I’m not sure what that really means, but, while wishing no woman ever had to undergo any unwanted medical procedure, I am in favor of whatever abortion options a woman chooses. Period. Improved sex education would help, sure, but no birth control method is 100 percent effective. I have two friends who got pregnant using an IUD. Accidents happen. Life happens. Partners leave or become wrong. Jobs are lost. Security is lost. Health issues arise. Timing isn’t good. Being able to choose to have an abortion for whatever reason, including “not ready to become a mother,” or just not wanting to be pregnant (!), without any government involvement, is fundamental to personal autonomy.

Why a woman wants an abortion is none of my goddamned business.

I am immovably pro abortion.

Was bracing for blow-back.

7. Glad I scrolled down to see if anyone else posted this

I get a huge thrill whenever I receive an email with their latest posts.
I highly recommend subscribing to their blog (am I allowed to do that here?)

They are my heroes (heroines?)
Do their blog submissions appear on "X?"
I ask because posting it here is great, but that's just preaching to the choir.

I hardly use Facebook and as far as I know all of my "friends" there are dyed in the wool Dems.

8. Wow, they really did nail it. Good for them.

Too bad republicans aren't smart enough to listen, let alone understand or believe.

9. i'm still reading it,

but here's a caveat: TCFSF acts like he is in pre-school

My granddaughter in high school is so much more mature in her affect, her words, and her actions.

13. The point about late term is important

I’m sure most of us already know that those are almost always wanted pregnancies gone tragically wrong

That’s why those 20 weeks bans with no exceptions were so horrible, something terrible is happening and these fuckers think they should interject themselves, it’s just disgusting

Anyway, I just think there are lots of people who don’t understand that and I wanted to remind you good people to explain it to them every chance you get

Thank you
