9/2's Meet the Press

I enjoy watching Meet the Press, but this week's show was just outstanding, with the 5 person panel of Newt, Carly Fiorina, historian Doris Kearnes Goodwin, reporter Thomas Friedman, and reporter Tom Brokaw going back and forth. And go back and forth they certainly did. If anyone missed it, I won't try to go back and give a badly recalled version of what happened, but everyone should see it. But my rejoinder to Carly Fiorina, a CEO and big GOP backer, is that while you are right about women's issues not being just abortion, but the GOP stance on abortion is just the tip of the iceberg. There's also the union busting tactics state GOP governors and legislatures are using and voting laws enacted that make it harder for some Americans to vote. Add these to other things that the GOP is doing, and it is obvious that what the GOP is really trying to do is disenfranchise anyone who disagrees with their ideas. And Newt, very few people actually think that a late term abortion is a good thing, and some people do think that any abortion is bad. And I am one of them, by the way. But your way, and the GOP way, would stop all women and couples from a choice. And that really is the plank of the Democrats, to allow people to be free to make choices that they feel right with. You do believe that America is the land of free, don't you Newt? Then why are you and the entire GOP trying to take choices away from people? That's question that wasn't asked on Meet The Press, but I wish it would have been, because that's an answer I'd love to hear.
