I oppose elective abortion myself. But the Hyde Amendment wasn't mentioned in the debate.
Planned Parenthood was and they prevent abortions. So I don't understand why anti abortion people would advocate defunding them.
Trumps policies will result in more abortions and more disastrous pregnancies.

I advocate not funding Planned Parenthood because the founder, Margret Sanger, was a genocidal racist who only formed it for a eugenics program to slaughter African-Americans when lynching fell out of style. Similarly, I'd not want Christopher Columbus to have a holiday of his own for the same reason. Politicians at the executive level really have no impact on abortions, so it's a worthless talking point. State and local governments have much more say on that matter, but of course killing babies means you support women or something. I think the issue is pretty morbid, at least in the lingo of the progressive feminist narrative. I understand necessary abortions, and even oopsies but to brag on about it sort illustrates how disgusting of a human you are. I don't think it empowers anyone to be a tactless and remorseless turd.
