Mike Pence... Just As Scary

I almost do not know where to start. I think I am more afraid of Pence then I am of Trump. This man is already a part of our political system. He is helping to shape our laws. He has always drawn a hard line on abortion. I refuse to call him, or most others who claim this,  "pro-life" because they are no pro-life... they are pro-pregnancy. Once the child is born they don't give a crap about them. They don't want to feed them, or educate them, or care for them medically. I am, as I am sure you can tell by now, pro-choice. Although I do not know if I could make the choice to have an abortion, I am pro-choice. I think it is a very difficult, personal choice. The government has absolutely no right to make that choice for us. His remarks are outrageous! He acts like women are just mindless creatures driven by our sexuality. Incapable of making informed, intelligent choices. Here are a few parts of his statements......


 Pence continued, “we’ve got this situation now throughout different states where some lawmakers allow abortion under some circumstances like rape or when the fetus is diagnosed with an illness, and others just flat out prohibit it. And that’s bad for a number of reasons. First and foremost – we can’t have this kind of freedom of choice. This is bad, let’s be clear. And that’s part of the reason why I signed this bill, because I believe abortion, or I’m going to flat out call it murder, this murdering of children has to stop and it has to be prohibited in every state. So Indiana is just a step in the right direction.”

On top of his remarks about abortion, he added this little goodie... "we can't have this kind of freedom of choice". HUH?!? Isn't that what our country stands for?

Pence also tried to offer his opinion on what would have happened had he allowed rape victims to still have abortion. “First and foremost, because this is such a sensitive topic, let me just say that I sympathize with rape victims not just in America, but around the world. I can only imagine what it must be like to experience such trauma,” he said. “However, that does not justify murder, not even that justifies murdering a baby, not in my book. Because what would happen? We’d then have an epidemic of women claiming to have been raped just so they could have an abortion. And that has to be stopped at all cost.”

Donald Trump’s new running mate also said, “Basically, if I’d have said no on the bill, that would be just like giving out get-pregnant-without-fear cards, because at the end of the day, women could have unprotected sex without worrying about what they’d do in the event of pregnancy. And you know, it’s not supposed to be like that. That would be equal to me picking up a butcher’s knife and slicing people open in the middle of the street. That would be murder. And I’m not a murderer.”

“And it gets worse – when you get an abortion, you get several days off of work and whatnot to recover. And there are a lot of crazy people out there. What if women would go out and get raped on purpose just so they could get off work? I mean, Indiana’s economy is struggling as it is, and having thousands of women absent from their jobs would be horrific for the state, I’m telling you. I made the right call and that will be confirmed in the long run,” Pence concluded.

See here we are, mindless sexual women. Gee I feel like some time off of work... I know.. let me go get raped, hope I get pregnant, and then have an abortion JUST SO I CAN GET A FEW DAYS OFF OF WORK! I just can not believe that we have people in our government who think this way. I never thought In my lifetime I would see the abortion argument get this far again. I just don't even know what else to say right now.
