Current Events > Washington Post calls democrats "extremists" over late term abortions

(+) Yeah! (+)

Democrats are salivating over the chance to portray Republicans as antiabortion extremists in the wake of the anticipated overruling of Roe v. Wade. But their unwillingness to accept limits on late-term abortions shows they are the real extremists.

Would you rather media hide these people? Do you want real reality of where people's minds are? Or do you want the opinions you don't like hidden so that you can just pretend the world is better?

Remember when people did that with racism. Pretended it didn't exist at the level it did. Then Trump capitalized on the ignorance of people not knowing how powerful the racist end of America still was. Everyone thought "Neh. America isn't racist enough for him to pull this off"

Telling women what they can't do definitely isn't extremist at all.

Or attacking the capital because you're mad you lost an election.

Or how covid-19 was handled.

"Accuse the left of what you yourself are guilty of" is republican 101.

You suck! Also Im not a republican so put your pitchfork away.

...
Yet Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) is scheduling a vote this week on a bill that would effectively make abortion legal without restrictions for the duration of a womans pregnancy

Actual bill: legal without restriction up to 24 weeks

I would assume $$$ changed hands

Isn't Washington Post usually super left wing?

Tbh opinion pieces shouldn't have blatantly false information in them. It shouldn't be treated like a fucking blog lol

This is an opinion piece based on a lie

the very premise of the piece is misinformation and only serves to spread a narrative that is demonstrably false

I feel you completely ignored my point. It's important people who know better know that there's a large amount of people who don't. Censoring them all would put us in a false sense of security. Like the false sense of security that made us feel someone like Trump could never be in the White House.

Do you really think anyone is reading that opinion and changing their beliefs on the spot? You either agree with it cause it confirms what you already believe and aren't willing to budge on anyway or you know how dumb it is immediately and aren't vulnerable to being persuaded by it.

late term abortions are already illegal everywhere and no one would agree to legalize them lmao

red voters are literally the stupidest people alive

The very existence of this opinion piece (written by someone who, it should be noted, knows its a lie) only serves to be evidence to the people who actually believe the lies this piece is based on

there is no valid reason to publish this editorial

not publishing misinformation in a newspaper is not censorship

Are you not aware of ColdOne? He knows of the misleading and is actively participating in it. He just wishes he thought of posting this article first.

Any "late term abortions" are absolutely medically necessary, not that women should need to justify getting one.

No one is going through 6 months of pregnancy just because they really get off on the fetus feeling the abortion.

It's scary how millions of people will consume lies without any second thought while screaming about lack of research and facts in the next breath.
