    So I just went and revisited that whole thing. I remember it vaguely, but not any details.

    The gist was that Murphy was deciding whether to have the baby or abort it and the Republican vice president says she’s terrible for having it because she’s not married.

    Of course, I guess the intent was that she was supposed to marry whoever got her pregnant, but it presents as she should have aborted it. Interesting in today’s forced birth environment.

      I think it’s worse with some of these nutjobs. They’d say you shouldn’t be sleeping with someone you aren’t married to, it’s the extra level of “irresponsibility” they want to slander you with as well. Unmarried and promiscuous…

        If Republicans had their way, executing unmarried pregnant women for having sex outside of marriage would be some sort of exception to a fetus’ right to life…

        Yeah he wasn’t pandering to 1992 republicans, he was pandering to 1960s republicans.

        And he was VP only because Bush the I should have gone to jail for Iran Contra. The more things change amirite
