Soldano, a chiropractor running in a crowded Michigan race, said that he wants to promote a culture that inspires pregnant women to have their babies and lets them know "how heroic they are and how unbelievable that they are, that God put them in this moment. And they don’t know that little baby inside them may be the next president, may be the next person that changes humanity.”
Soldano shared a story about how one of his mentors was adopted and learned that his birth mother had been raped by several men in a subway station.
“It kind of like tore out his heart when he found that out, but then he started to really appreciate and understand what his birth mother went through, that she had the courage to deliver him,” Soldano said, adding that his mentor went on to help thousands of people improve their lives.
Hmm, don’t punish children for crimes of the father?
State Rep. Mari Manoogian tweeted, “This is truly sickening. I have no other words.” State Sen. Erika Geiss called Saldano's remarks “disgusting.”
“We should be inspiring women who’ve been raped to press charges & we should have a system that takes them seriously,” Geiss tweeted. “We should have a world where men don’t think they’re entitled to women’s bodies. We should have a world where ppl respect #ReproRights.”
Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is running for re-election to a second term in November. Her political director, Ron Owens, tweeted that Soldano's comments were "absolutely disgusting and dangerous," adding that "every candidate in the GOP primary has said they will undermine a woman’s right to choose."
These troglodytes are completely incompatible with reality.
A Michigan Republican candidate for governor recently said that rape victims who become pregnant shouldn’t get abortions, according to a video of the comment that went viral Monday.
Really feels every time the dems shoot themselves in the foot the republicans run over and are like "No, we gotta win the foot shooting contest!" and it's a back and forth between them.
At one point he brings up a story of a woman being gang raped by 5 men in the subway and saying it was good she didn't have an abortion.
Still obsessed with me after months, because I criticized your defense of the Nazi regime? How much of a loser do you have to be to downvote someone's comments several times a day? I can literally tell whenever you're online, and it's always amusing to see that you still didn't get a life.
By the way, your Nazi heroes were also big fans of abortions for 'undesirables'.
Imagine being this obtuse. Know why the country went to shit? We made everything up to government funded mass slaughter of defenseless humans acceptable. Dehumanization, sexual “revolution”, and genital obsession are all signs of a society in collapse.
Because we won WWII without any adversity, overbuilt with 60's technology, ran unreasonably high corporate taxes about 20 years longer than we should have, gave foundational industry jobs away to other countries to keep them in our sphere of influence, enacted LBJ's handouts, and spent patriotism in stupid fucking wars we shouldn't have been in.
Also McCarthy went after Hollywood when the real threat came later in academia.
Abortion is not a cause, it's a symptom. The decline enabled it.
Republicans who think they can stop the slide by stopping abortions could be outwitted by a fucking whack-a-mole machine.
Lol everything you just listed was not the cause. You could have just said “Great New Society”, the mass importation of immigrants with no loyalty to America, and the feminist movement and at least been somewhat accurate.
You're not wrong but abortion is a disgusting level of degradation. Pretending unborn babies lives are throwaway items is the epitome of a narcissistic morally bankrupt society in which no life is meaningful by nature.
Going after abortion without tackling the larger economic problems is counterproductive.
You may not like it, but abortion does have SOME effect against poverty, despite its equal effect in facilitating bad decisions and risk taking.
What's particularly galling is that Republicans have repeatedly FAILED eliminate the more expensive incentives for people to act irresponsibly, like welfare. Abortion, for better or worse, "costs" nothing to the taxpayer, while housing assistance, food assistance, and direct payments cost quite a lot. I take a dim view of attempts to own the libs by killing abortion because it's an easier win than going after the money or fixing trade deficits.
Politicians screeching about dead babies does not reduce my tax bill, and I resent that the christian right has been able to monopolize conservatism for my entire lifetime over something so tangential to the actual role of government.
I DON'T CARE. If the cost of moving on to tackle real issues is dead babies, then so be it. That's why Trump was such a great Republican president, because his entire stance on abortion basically amounted to "appointing anti-abortion justices" and leaving it for the courts to sort out.
You're wrong. It costs us more than just money and your "muh tax bill". Your humanity and our society's as well is forfeit when we indulge in mass murder.
While I agree that abortion shouldn't be a platform issue right now, I don't see anything wrong with his comments beyond political naivety. I understand why the woman would want the abortion, but it should be a last option.
“Guys, I get it, we definitely shouldn’t be murdering people. But right now the question of murder isn’t a way to win elections, so please don’t bring it up. It’s important that our party stays in power to maybe one day do something.”
I don't see anything wrong with his comments beyond political naivety.

People this dumb need to get Darwinned out of politics. I am sick of our best hope for liberty resting on people who are too fucking stupid to understand that virtually everything that comes out of their retarded pieholes can and will be taken out of context at every opportunity.
You can have an opinion on abortion but there is no reason to share it to the press. Only go on the record for recorded votes, and offer no reasoning for your recorded votes.
Read the article and not just the headline. Focus on what he actually said, which I also don't agree with, instead of how the lying media decides to spin it.
Andrew Yang got attacked for saying that abortion shouldn’t be celebrated. I can remember when Dems said they wanted abortions to be rare
The "safe, legal and rare" lie originated from Hillary Clinton.
Why anyone would have ever believed that, is beyond me.
Hmm, don’t punish children for crimes of the father?
These troglodytes are completely incompatible with reality.
Don't want kids, but want to have sex? Married or not? GET YO' TUBES TIED.
It's been done by laparoscopy since at least 1990, you're up and around in a couple hours.
Anyone who would abort a baby should do it. We do not need more of these "people" in this world.
Well that's...not...what the article says.
He used more words but it is clearly what he's saying -

Because the man who was the child of that rape became one of his mentors. Clearly you didn’t read what he actually said.
Oh I see this is the new no-effort insult.
Lovely title. Very unbiased.
And I strongly disagree with him, but I don't find it acceptable that the media lies to advance its ageneda.
It comes as no surprise to me that, in addition to being a fake vax pusher, you're also an abortionist.

Stay mad, socialist shill.
Sorry, not mad that you don't have a life.
Unfortunately we have to see your shit tier takes on here and pseudo-reddit free speech suppression tactics.
The title on the post is accurate. The title of the original 'news' report is not.
Where does the GOP keep finding these fucking one-issue knuckledraggers?
The country is going to shit and Gen X is just repeating the Boomers obsession with abortion.

They're closer to the cause than abortion.
What did we gain from fighting for Vietnam? What did we gain from Nixon's China reset?
You're not wrong but abortion is a disgusting level of degradation. Pretending unborn babies lives are throwaway items is the epitome of a narcissistic morally bankrupt society in which no life is meaningful by nature.

Because a society that allows punishment of the child for the actions of the father is totally salvageable.

You’re adorably butthurt, are you sure you don’t belong over at XX on Reddit with the rest of the reality denialists?
On that much we see eye to eye.
