"Tim Kaine is pro-choice, not pro-death"

snip//

My understanding is that what Kaine is supporting is the right of a woman to choose whether or not to carry that embryo to term. This should be a private decision between a woman and her doctor, and Kaine has rightly assessed that neither the state nor the church should be involved in it.

Mello is "Aggressively Anti-choice" and BS calls him a "progressive" but wouldn't lift a hand to support Pro Choice, Jon Ossoff on Election Day in Georgia..

Sanders voiced his support for Mello in a statement published Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal. “If this fellow wins in Nebraska, that would be a shot across the board, that in a state like Nebraska a progressive Democrat can win, that will give hope to folks in other conservative states that perhaps they can win as well,” he said.

Why Is the DNC Embracing an Aggressively Anti-Choice Democrat

He was endorsed in 2010 by anti-choice group Nebraska Right to Life.

Heath Mello has sponsored a range of anti-choice measures, including a 20-week abortion ban.

Heath Mello is a sponsor of the final version of a 20-week abortion ban approved by the governor in 2010, and cast anti-choice votes in favor of requiring physicians to be physically present for an abortion in order to impede access to telemedicine abortion care, and a law banning insurance plans in the state from covering abortions.

The Daily Kos, which describes itself as “a news organization, community, and activist hub,” pulled its endorsement of Mello after revelations about the Democrat’s stance on abortion. The site said it had been unaware of Mello’s anti-choice stance, but that “as soon as we learned this information, we withdrew our endorsement, because this legislation clearly runs contrary to Daily Kos’ deepest values, including our support for women’s reproductive rights and our staunch opposition to laws that in any way impede women’s access to reproductive health care.”

So what? BS claimed the "Aggressively Anit-Choice" Mello

is a "progressive"

And, wouldn't lift a hand on Election Day in Georgia for Jon Ossoff who is Actually PRO Choice

President Obama doesn't owe anything

but he will still be giving. Because that's who he is.

After more than 8 years of always being ON with service to their country.. The Obamas deserves the R&R they've been on.. Yacht and all

Too bad for the losers who are on the junk pile of history.. whining, pissing and moaning about someone doing their job.

Yes, Tom Perez was Booed and BS did nothing to

defend him. I saw a tweet on Al Giordano's Twitter feed from the gop account where they had the vid and were mocking "the unity".

And, from Symome Sanders:.. "In retrospect, she said, Maybe Bernie Sanders isnt the guy for the unity tour."

Why Bernie Sanders’s Unity Tour Failed

The independent senator hit the road with Democratic national chairman Tom Perez—and highlighted everything that's tearing the party apart.

BS is always harranguing the Democratic Party.. like

he's the only one who knows anything.. I got news for him, he isn't.. sitting on his high horse.. The m$m and gop love the shade.. He's devisive and he gets it wrong.. like with Jon Ossoff..

That mess he made with calling the "aggressively anti-cholce" Mello a "progressive" and not endorsing the Real Pro-choice Jon Ossoff on Election Day in Georgia..

Said "he isn't prepared to back Democrats just because of a party label"

https://twitter.com/reidepstein/status/854763710983831555

We'll never know if a few positive words instead of dismissal could have made the difference from the "most popular politician in America".

Not sure why BS wouldn't want to have gotten to know Jon Ossoff who would have immediately gone to Congress if he had won 50% and we would have had one more Dem to fight the Fascistrumps.

Exactly, dsc.. BS called "aggressively anti-cholce" Mello a "progressive"

and he wouldn't say that Progressive Jon Ossoff is a "progressive"... said he "didn't know him" before the big Important Election in Georgia.

Symome Sanders:"In retrospect, she said, Maybe Bernie Sanders isnt the guy for the unity tour."

Perez was booed and BS did nothing to defend him..

While the booers waved their little hypocritical "come together" signs.
