Do most Democrats/Liberals/Progressives agree with Senator Chief Karen? Is this a mainstream position of the Democratic Party?

We are "Pro-Choice" as long as it is the choice we say.

I can't stand Granny Warren. She is an embarrassment to the state of Mass.



I might be old fashioned in my thinking but I like to believe that a woman that finds herself pregnant has to do a lot of soul searching in her decision to keep or end the baby. What is so wrong with exploring the options instead of rushing out for an abortion?

This is a problem with the Democrats today. They do not want to discuss anything. It is their way or the highway.

No, I am OK with crisis pregnancy centers offering information and their point of view. Part of making an informed decision is understanding all of your options. As long as the final decision remains where it belongs, with the person who is pregnant.

The problem I have with these places is they only have one point of view. I prefer that a woman get counseled on all her options.

Does that mean you think she is right and they should be shut down?

And planned parenthood encourages abortion. The wording on their website about whether or not to choose an abortion leans heavily in favor of it. Totally makes it sound like everyone does it, no big deal, no bad reason to have one etc. Let’s be honest, they are money making clinics for the doctors who perform them.

These pregnancy centers do an incredible amount of positive work for these mothers. We need to support them. Anybody who is mad that they offer counseling for mothers who choose life (or don’t, as they will help with the aftermath of abortion as well) and that they help provide necessities for moms and babies and offer parenting classes and so much more…really don’t have any words for those people. They continue to shout about how Republicans only care about the baby till it’s born, and these crisis pregnancy centers literally walk the walk to prove that to be a lie. Of course they will find any reason possible to dismantle that support in favor of baby killing and more social spending. It doesn’t align with their disgusting false narrative.

They do not have one point of view. Every one that I have looked at (which is many as it’s a cause that’s important to me) does explain all options. They do not offer abortion services or referrals but they will give the truth about it! That’s more than can be said for PP and the like.

Ob/gyns charge for their services too, right? They make a profit?
