Donald!

So, Trump has said what every republican thinks, which is why the party fears him, actually.
Women who have an abortion, in his, or any republican Presidents world, would face criminal charges. Stands to reason, doesn't it? If abortion is outlawed, against the law, as the republican platform calls for (actually a huge part of the republican platform) then the woman is a criminal and should face charges.
Isn't this so? Murder is murder, if abortion is murder, then the woman is a murderer. right?

So, you who support the republican platform, what punishment should the woman face? 'Cause of course, you know abortion won't stop just because you make it illegal. If you vote Republican, you vote for this platform. So it would be nice to know up front what punishment you all have in mind for this criminal act.

Oh peggy, lots of hyperbole here.

Its not "what every Republican thinks" since even Donald's campaign walked that back pretty fast, within minutes agter he uttered it.

"Voting for this platform" is more misleading talk since the current national election year platform hasn't even been penned. When I read over the last platform of 2012 at www.gop.com I see no reference to abortion penalties. Really I cant even find anything specifcally about abortion law. There is " we oppose FDA approval of RU486 ..." But thats not what you are talking about.

But yes, you are right that if I vote Republican I may be endorsing some things
i dont really like. Thems the breaks in a system with two big bad two parties.

Curious if you, peggy, endorse each and every idea in the Democratic Party platform?

Peggy has a point. If you outlaw something then the people who do it have to be punished. Even jaywalking has a small fine.

Im very thankful I had surgery to remove all my republican thoughts. I have the card to prove it. As far as abortion goes, I am fine with it as long as it's not mine.

Its not outlawed.

Abortion or jaywalking?

The feds dont outlaw abortion. Nor jaywalking.

I suppose that if your political narrative runs on victims and villains, it's important to set yourself up as the people who are against the people who are against something.

Peggy's insights notwithstanding, I would guess there are about as many Republicans who want to jail women who get abortions as there are Democrats who want to confiscate all the guns.

Jaywalkers, of course, should be summarily executed.

Democrats who want to confiscate all the guns.

There are way, way more of these than you'd think.

What annoyed me most about that exchange was the idea that women seeking abortions are "victims." The notion that women are perpetually childlike, not responsible, and none too bright dies hard.
