Trump's 2020 Plan To Ban All Abortion – And The Campaign To Stop Him | MSNBC

    1. @Anderson George I get it from their end, making us divided makes us weaker and less able to enact change, but I don’t get why people go along with it. It does seem based on several of the comments on here that a lot of people are tired of it which is awesome. We would hold so much power if we were a unified front and things like healthcare, education, and other issues could be handled so much more easily, and we could go to Mars!

  1. Freakonmics did a very interesting statistical evauluation of the impact of Roe versus Wade. Look it up on youtube.

    1. maxx schooler You didn’t even watch the video, did you? I haven’t seen one single liberal person in the video. And I would know, considering I’m very Liberal. I doubt you know what the word actually means.

    2. @maxx schooler LOL. All right wingers do is lie compulsively. You just lied in your comment. It may be impossible for you people to even tell the truth anymore.

    1. @man on the robloxian street I need support! We’ve got baby killers hiding in the comment section! We need to verbally attack! Man the keyboards, load the memes!

    2. @100 subsriber in Octrober for NO REASIN challinge I’ve read many of your comments pertaining to this video.
      I know exactly what your on about!

  2. I just want to take a moment and thank senator Reed for the extraordinary work he did in 2016 making it possible for simple majority

    1. They also do not agree that abortions shouldnt be funded by the government.. Abortions can exist, but why are they held higher on the priority list than general infrastructure? or other things that actually benefit all citizens

    1. @Terry Fulds Yeah, we know Terry Fluids, this is one of the reasons why we voted for him. Do you think the democrats back in 1861 threw as big a fit when the Republicans elected Abraham Lincoln to stop slavery and he actually did it? You all used the same argument back then as you do now. In 2020 abortion is ok with you all because an unborn baby isn’t a real human being, in 186 slavery was ok with the democrats because black people weren’t real human beings. All the time the Republicans were arguing the moral side. But morality has never been part of the left’s platform.

    2. @1967davethewave I am personally relatively pro-life, but your moral-highhandedness in saying “morality has never been part of the left’s platform” is just ridiculous. All people are moral, no matter their political leanings. Just because they approach morality from a different point-of-view, of putting mothers’ wellbeing and happiness first and foremost instead of the inherent sanctity of Life does not make them any less moral than you are. Morality is not universal, we’re all just people trying to make ethical sense of the world around us. The fact that you can’t appreciate another POV’s understanding of morality and simply dismiss as them being immoral is ridiculous and kinda immature. The fact that you can’t respect another human being’s moral positions speaks to your incapacity to respect “human life” in all its dignity and God-given right to have its own opinion.

      Your whole “Democrats were the one who supported Slavery” argument is ridiculous too. The Democratic Party is the oldest political party in US history, its been around almost as long as the country itself has. The Democratic Party has not always represented “the Left” (which btw, didn’t really exist at the time since modern understanding of Left-Right political theory hadn’t properly emerged yet) of politics and it certainly did not a the time of the Civil War, just because an institution has a questionable history, doesn’t mean that the people currently in it fully support everything it did in the past (case in point: the other US political party of the US – the Republicans. 50-years ago, many Republicans were Segregationist and opposed the Civil Rights Acts, does that represent the modern-day Republican Party?). The Democratic Party of 1860 is not the Democratic Party of 2020 and to claim otherwise either intellectually lazy or purposefully misinformative.

      Don’t cherry-pick history like Fox News or Breitbart or even CNN seem to do, don’t fall to the cult of anti-intellectualism that you Americans find yourself in.

    1. even mitch, marco, graham, cotton, cruz promised what worked against obama would work against donnie. but they lied. so the rules are open for change. either way i don’t see this doing we the people much good. but yes, increase the members on the court. rotten deserves rotten in return.

    2. jensonee then it will be done again, and again. Then before you know it you’ll have 29 justices. It was different in 16 because the Rep controlled the senate then as well and the nominee by Obama was a poor choice and was never going to pass. RBG should’ve retired when Obama was in office but she took the chance that Hillary was going to win and she would retire during her term. The gamble didnt payoff. The Dems just want to change rules to suit them. Lose the election? Get rid of the electoral college. Can’t stop the nominee? Pack the court. Lost control of the senate? Add more states to give us more senators. Get rid of filibustering……the list goes on and on. You can’t just change the way our republic is run just because things don’t go your way.

  3. 9:30 – “offered this warning 5 years ago” <-- goes to show a clip from 07/21/1993 (So is the current year 1998?) These are opinions not news based facts like they should be. Where do you have clips or messages from Trump stating that he plans to ban all abortions?

    1. Authoritarian religious that’s who. I am Christian and completely agree with abortion fully legal if the big upstairs is really against he will judge them when they die…step off religious freaks you wanna save a fetus but won’t save millions of children’s lives because you want your precious machine guns…hypocrites

    2. @Arianna Come on. The baby isn’t there? The baby is there, growing in its mother’s womb. But I challenge everyone who wants to see Roe v. Wade overturned. Are you willing to pay the taxes to raise these little babies? You have to do it. That is our responsibility as a nation. If we agree abortion is wrong, then we all need to help raise these children.

  4. Why should government interfere with women’s bodily choices??? Women are allowed to go to war, vote, work with equality; yet we’re treated as cattle when it comes to choice!! 😡

    1. The only reason that the left thinks they have the right to end an unborn babies life is because according to the law, it isn’t human yet. That’s the same argument that the democrats made back in the 1800’s in defense of owning slave. “They really aren’t human so I have the right”. I believe that the baby is a human from conception. So what about the babies right? A baby isn’t a part of anyone’s body, it has it’s own body until it is ripped apart and sucked out.

    1. Lol that s guys all over the place, he belongs over at CNN unless MSNBC is just stepping up their game.
