decision. we understand it s situational and it s not for us to say. none of us feel good about it but nobody should make that decision except the mother. do you feel like democrats have done enough to protect reproductive rights for women? it s not just them. it s it s it s congress and the house itself. honestly, i feel like they ve done some to hurt it, because they ve made so much of it about women s reproductive rights and abortion, and it s the you ve made it such a huge focus that now people are saying, oh, we have to fight this with everything. they think that s how to win votes, but, like, make it maybe not so much of a focus, and then people will lighten up about it and, like, the far right republicans that are, oh, we have to ban everything will disappear, because suddenly they re not having the challenge, the, oh, everybody
everybody s and then the next day ask them questions on abortion, and, of course, it s very ambiguous for them, and they consider themselves pro-life, but i ve noticed in georgia with trump voters that were espousing conspiracy theories. i always talk about that man who said, hey, i m a man. it s none of my business, and that s the thing we keep hearing. so we, here s the great irony about the most divisive issue of the last 30 years. it now appears to be the single unifying issue with people, whether they re in downtown philadelphia, if they re black voters in downtown philadelphia, or they re white trump voters in western pennsylvania. there is a real reluctance to
themselves. local officials. would you want a county commissioner making life and death decisions about you and your family? that was the most heinous, atrocious answer that dr. oz could have possibly uttered last night, and i can only imagine how the women swing voters who were already not completely happy with how he him hawed on it and the republican party writ large on abortion, how they would respond to that. so many women that, you know, spoken to and heard from on abortion. it s not that they love the idea of abortion, but they don t want government involved, and they want to keep government out, and literally wlal he proposed was bringing it down to the local level. the most invasive form of, you know, bringing in local government officials? it s just ooh.
is on top of their game. really, i just still i can t get over how dr. oz managed to give the absolutely most horrific, heinous answer to that question when it comes to winning over swing voters. that s just exactly what people don t want to have, you know, the local tax assessor of their county involved in their medical decision. women are anguished over abortion and the limitations they want on them and how long should be the period that a, you know, a fefetus, a baby should aborted, but they don t want this. and the oz campaign has said and will say that they meant that, to be left to the states, clearly fumbled over that answer last night. john fetterman s health front and center yesterday. the first time he d sat on a stage next to dr. oz since having that stroke, or at all in this campaign, since having the stroke in may and he did
wonderful op-ed in the new york times this morning from jill taylor about, she s a neuroscientist, had a stroke, and what it takes, how the brain heals itself. he s perfectly capable, but it was hard to watch. and given the way in which our politics, the image, the glitz, the performance, often stands in for substance. it was it s just a hard, it s a hard hill to climb, seems to me. yeah. what stood out most. just watching that, but then the policy, and questions about abortion, for example. here s what dr. oz said when asked about a woman s right to choose to have an abortion or not. as a physician i ve been in the room when there s difficult conversations happening. i don t want the federal government involved with that at all. i want women, doctors, local political leaders leading the democracy always allowed our nigs to thrive to put the best forward so states can decide for
