A woman's right to choose kept my life from being a lot more complicated & difficult many years ago. As for Mudd's poster, I just like playin' Devil's Advocate... Especially if I detect any scent of there being a case wherein the side being opposed can never do anything right, and that someone pointing fingers might ignore their own principles just to find fault & have something to point at.
You can't teach those who don't wanna learn...
Once the tart's pregnant, there's only 2 real options; one of which Mudd must support (and make the best of a bad situation by choosing the lesser of two evils, once the primary goal fails--which was/is virtually inevitable given the population, hormones, natural impulses, and youth sub-culture we are attempting to teach/counter-act).
Were it my daughter messing with my political platform... I'd have quietly pushed for the abortion & kept it out of the press. Failing that, keep her isolated at home in Alaska with the rest of my kids & out of the lime light--claiming the political trail is no place for children--then have a quiet shotgun wedding (preferably after the election), and not make it an issue... Rather than risk showing America that my family is also imperfect & that as a parent I too have my own burdens to bear with a teenage daughter being a teenager. Goodness gracious, we wouldn't want anyone to elect an actual human being with the same problems as many other (common) people to higher office. The public wants perfect-looking empty suits spouting empty promises. Celebrity but no substance. Rhetoric but no track record.
...Or at least that seems to be what the Left wants.
