Robert Francis O’Rourke Dodges On Whether Pro-Lifers Are Welcomed in the Dem Party

WFB: Presidential hopeful Robert Francis O’Rourke dodged on whether or not people who hold pro-life views are welcome in the Democratic party, saying that he thinks it is unlikely that the party will ever nominate a candidate who does “not believe in a woman’s right to choose” on abortion.

O’Rourke’s comments came during a Sunday morning interview on ABC’s This Week, following former Vice President Joe Biden’s flip-flop on the Hyde Amendment, a decades-long ban on federally funded abortions. Host George Stephanopoulos asked O’Rourke for his opinion on the move.

“I can just tell you that I’ve always known what I thought on this issue: that every single woman in this country should be able to make her own decisions about her own body,” O’Rourke said. “Every single session in the United States Congress I voted to repeal the Hyde Amendment. I co-sponsored legislation to do the same.”

O’Rourke added that, if elected, he would nominate judges that would uphold Roe v. Wade and vigorously fight pro-life efforts of states.

    No, they are NOT.

    “SECURING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, RIGHTS, AND JUSTICE
    Democrats are committed to protecting and advancing reproductive health, rights, and justice. We believe unequivocally, like the majority of Americans, that every woman should have access to quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion—regardless of where she lives, how much money she makes, or how she is insured. We believe that reproductive health is core to women’s, men’s, and young people’s health and wellbeing. We will continue to stand up to Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood health centers, which provide critical health services to millions of people. We will continue to oppose—and seek to overturn—federal and state laws and policies that impede a woman’s access to abortion, including by repealing the Hyde Amendment. We condemn and will combat any acts of violence, harassment, and intimidation of reproductive health providers, patients, and staff. We will defend the ACA, which extends affordable preventive health care to women, including no-cost contraception, and prohibits discrimination in health care based on gender.”

  2. He’s struggling to understand how the general public isn’t as enthralled with him as he is with himself. “What are they not getting, I’m a gifted man willing to allow the masses to bask in my aura.

  3. According to the democrats, every single woman has (on her own body):
    10 to 20 fingers
    10 to 20 toes
    2 to 4 arms/legs
    1 to 2 hearts
    1 to 2 heads
    2 to 4 lungs
    etc. (or more, if twins or more)

    That’s why democrats “identify as” things that aren’t normal.

    Illinois wants to be recognized as “the most progressive state when it comes to women’s reproductive rights.”
    To that I ask: Which state has laws against reproduction?

    …I get what you’re saying, @ecp, but Democrats ALSO sometimes say that a woman can ALSO have a penis and testicles as well, so the confusion goes deeper and wider than being able to tell if it’s one life or two, they are confused on absolutely EVERY aspect of humanity, and regard NO human as sacred, infant OR adult.

    …Just as Satan taught them.

    …Jesus knows them well…

    “40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

    41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

    42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

    43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

    44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

    45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

    46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

    47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.”

    -John 8:40-47

  5. @Supernightshade: “That’s why democrats “identify as” things that aren’t normal.”

    I had included another paragraph on that but deleted it since it felt like I was preaching to the choir here. Something about made up pronouns that are to be recognized as normal and force the rest of us to use them as if they are normal.

    I will retract my use of “democrats” and replace it instead with “the party of satan.”

  6. None of the candidates are going to answer truthfully. They will either flat out lie or prevaricate because they know that more and more younger women are in favour of limits on abortion or its’ outright banning. I’m waiting for one of those candidates to break out of the pack and endorse a time limit on abortion and then endorse government paid birth control. That would throw a cat among the their fellow pigeons and would likely start a huge fight in the klown kar. I’m really surprised it hasn’t yet been advocated by one of the Bozo’s.

  7. Hey… he’s polling what? Two or three percent? Why even bother to post what that lying ass thinks? Just more attention beta doesn’t need… or deserve.
