A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    Neither an embryo nor a fetus is a "baby"

    Calling it a "baby" is an intentionally distorted right-wing construct intended to portray legal abortion as something else, as is calling abortion "murder" or "killing" (at least before said fetus is anywhere near viable), or being pro-choice being "pro-abortion".

    It's no different from calling the estate tax the "death tax" (which it's clearly not), or leaving Iraq 6 freaking years after we illegally invaded it "defeat" and "surrender". Or, for that matter, calling the killing of civilians in war "collateral damage".

    These all come from the right's deep font of utter bullshit.

    Thank you, Mr. Luntz. Now please lose some weight you fat lying patronizing fuck.
