No Trump, Dems Aren’t Executing Babies

    In her latest video, Mother Jones video creator ‪@katmabu‬ traces the history of former President Donald Trump’s dangerous lie that some states allow parents to “execute” babies in so-called "post-birth abortions."
    “You can look at the governor of West Virginia,” Trump said during last week’s debate, prompting an incredulous head shake from Vice President Kamala Harris. “He said the baby will be born and we will decide what to do with the baby. In other words, we'll execute it.”
    Northam, of course, did not say that. Trump wasn’t even correct about his own right-wing smear. His reference was to a wildly out-of-context quote from former Virginia governor Ralph Northam (not West Virginia). Northam’s 2019 radio appearance, in which he explained the tragic medical emergencies that can result in late-term abortions, has since been selectively edited by Republicans and used to claim their opponents are permitting infanticide-a lie that has been repeated with relish across Fox News, again and again.
    As Kat explains, “There’s no such thing as a 'post-birth' abortion. These procedures are extremely rare and reserved for cases where the mother’s life is in danger or when a fatally ill or deformed baby needs palliative care.” In this video, Kat shows how this wasn’t Trump’s first time exploiting these tragedies, which are “designed to demonize grieving mothers and doctors,” while clarifying the facts about late-term abortion care that are too often lost to political noise. She notes that less than one percent of abortions occur after 21 weeks of pregnancy.
    “By limiting abortion access in the first place, whether it's totally or at the six-week mark, or by making parents jump through hoops just to get the medical care they need,” Kat explains, “Republicans are ensuring that there will be more cases that require traumatic medical intervention than if people were allowed to have control over their bodies in the first place.”

      "You can't win arguments with fascists
      The BNP's vote almost doubled in the aftermath of that Question Time appearance, so I wouldn't exactly call that a triumph for liberal democracy. I think it was actually an early example of what we're seeing with Trump where it doesn't matter how much he's mocked and humiliated because he's appealing to a demographic who are so alienated from the political establishment / status quo that any criticism or attack on their totem merely reinforces their hostility. That's the problem with allowing fascists any kind of platform: they aren't liberals; they aren't playing the same game; they aren't subject to the same boundaries. You can't win arguments with fascists because fascists have no respect for any concept of "truth" or "reality": it's all just a means to attain power. Their whole essence is totally corrosive to democracy and I don't think merely "exposing" them helps. In reality, the exposure just gives them more power, as the spectacle of all of "respectable" mainstream politics uniting against them just increases their legitimacy in the eyes of the disenfranchised and alienated. Fascists have generally been pretty adept at using the non-rational cognitive biases and blind spots to their advantage: that's the core of their whole MO. Honestly, I think liberals just aren't equipped to deal with fascism. It's just flatly incompatible with all the Enlightenment principles and values. So I'll say again now what I said back then: NO PLATFORM FOR FASCISTS."

      Art, for Langer, was one way to express one’s freedom, not, as we will see, in terms of
      human self-expression or cultural elevation, but in terms of the education of feeling. As she was to put it in Problems of Art, Art education is the education of feeling, and a society that neglects it gives itself up to formless emotion. Bad art is corruption of feeling. This is a large factor in the irrationalism which dictators and demagogues exploit.121

      In truth, Republicans could not care less about anyone's life. They use their lies as distraction. Distraction to the fact that the major bills that they always pass, cut the taxes on the most wealthy Americans, then add the costs of that to the deficits for the "little people" to owe. Everything they do accomplish is for their wealthy donors. Their boogeyman of "infanticide" is to distract from that.

There are approximately 391,000 children & young people in the foster care system in the U.S., that being said if there were “millions” wanting to adopt there are more than enough children/young adults in need of a parent/parents. The fact of the matter is that some potential parent(s) don’t want bi-racial, or handicapped or older children, they want the proverbial perfect “baby”. While there is nothing wrong with that because that’s their choice don’t equate a child/young adults needs with an animals - it’s vastly different & egregious to suggest as such.

      The radio guy in Texas from recent news, wife miscarried, kept going to the ER and at one point he found her passed out in the bathroom floor, extreme blood loss, barely survived.
      And the exceptions for rape/incest. 10-y-o girl raped by mom's boyfriend in Ohio, had to go to Indiana to get an abortion, and Indiana's AG went after the doctor. Ohio and the Indiana AG thought a raped 10-y-o should be forced to carry to term and give birth.

      IF the fetus is at the age of viability (weight, etc.) but labor is induced because of the health of the mother or fetus, two things will happen: 1) The fetus now baby will be treated as a patient and if non-viable (e.g. no brain or other organs) will be allowed to die in the arms of the parents. 2) The fetus now baby if viable will be given every reasonable standard of care.
