[@chickenindanger844]

he choked and swallowed it again. It's really gross.

[@Lirakai]

The fact that people are mad that she prepared is actually wild to me. Don't you want a prepared president? I don't get it. Trump lies over and over and people are like 'yeah he won.' Wild. Truly wild. Mad at Harris that she baited Trump. Why do you want a president that *can* be baited. *Wild* Harris backed off on her more liberal policies to be more moderate because as president she needs to unite republicans and democrats. It doesn't mean she changed her personal values. It means she is willing to meet in the middle. This is a *good thing.* Meanwhile Trump can't even be the kinda leader that takes responsibility for his employees mistakes. Jan 6th security wasn't his job... but... he was the president?! Bruh.

Live in a state that believes the Bible is God's Word, that has a 45 minute delay on any 911 calls, or is infested with wild boars. Your tune would be different. BTW, the VA Governor, in a TV interview, made it clear that un-aliving a child after birth was fine if that was the Dr. & mother's position (oddly no mention of a father...)

Trump needs to stop saying they are aborting babies at 9 months. My relative, who was expecting a baby in a week, went to her doctor appointment on friday, and there was no heartbeat for the fetus. He had died in utero. They then had to deliver him the next week as a dead baby. They had to start ĺabor and do a D and C. This wasn't what she wanted. She wanted to go home with a healthy baby to the beautiful nursery she had prepared. Instead, she had to plan a funeral.

[@bonniehare2372]

I'm sorry. I lived through that pain. It's very hard. It's got zero to do with abortion. Abortion is taking the baby's life. NOBODY is saying you can't have medical care for a miscarriage, that's just cruel scare tactics on her part. Trump is not against IVF either. Never was.

[@iTzDeyo]

What does that terribly tragic story have to do with abortion? People who want children sadly lose children sometimes, people also get multiple abortion. I feel like your relative would be more angry at a person choosing to abort a perfect fetus, a fetus that your relative im sure wishes they had, and not as angry at the people pointing out just how incredibly special it is to be a Mother.

[@bagelman7223]

Because they can’t abort babies at 9 months anymore because row v wade was overturned now it’s up to the states

[@harrydalvine4558]

@@deborahworkman7491 there are States that have passed laws that allow abortion in the 9th month. That's not prpaganda. That's a fact.

[@joespeciale5875]

Sorry to hear about the death of the child of your relative. However, there are at least 5 cases in Minnesota by 2021 of failed abortions where a child was allowed to die (you need to use a search engine other than Google, yahoo or Microsoft or you’ll never find the documentation which does exist out there). Ex-VA Gov.Ralph Northam (an MD) specifically in 2019 stated “we will have a conversation with the mother if the child is born”I.e. About whether to let it live or die by not feeding it, not keeping it warm, not supporting it medically. So yes, post birth abortions are occurring and the Democrats will someday announce “it’s a good thing we have them. “

still Trump, because I thought people are different now, they wouldn't simply make the decision due the performance in their debate while some perhaps would, but in my opinion, having watched the words from both side, the simple fact is that the problems the current government created and people faced during three and half years. Since 2020, the current government the fail to address the problems that people have faced daily regarding to the immigration and economic, and she, as VP in the White house didn't manage to handle the crisis and even made that worse during the presidency, but choose the say something like, "I will addres those issue after being elected", but not now… it gose without saying, the promise she made didn't win the people's trust, but just a empty check without any value. on the other hand, Trump did opposite, if you have sincerely studied both situations (pre- pandemic and post- pandemic), it became so clear and simple to make decision, and now people really need a strong president to make the things different and more even better. therefore, I think people already made the decision couple months ago, this debate didn't work for both candidates. 😅
