Why? Says who? Unsurprisingly, it appears that we have a difference of opinion. It looks like we do agree that shades of grey do color the issue.



I am saying that. But again, when else in society do we kill an innocent human being without using that human's perspective as the primary guidance in the decision?

I'm not removing anyone's freedom or autonomy. A woman can do whatever she wants with her body but after 20 weeks you also have to consider the body of the innocent human fetus, which in my opinion since it is the one being killed, takes precedence over the woman's outside the exceptions for rape, incest and health of the mother.

Abortion has been legal in Washington State up until viability since 1970 prior to Roe v Wade. Roe v Wade has had no effect in Washington and it's repeal has had no effect in Washington. You are against Roe v Wade and the laws in the State of Washington because they don't go far enough because they restrict abortion to viability and you know that no power over womans bodies kind of thing. OK so you are against Reichert who supports the current status quo laws on abortion but are for Ferguson. Well Ferguson has consistently stated his commitment to protecting Washington State’s laws allowing abortion and reproductive care. He has vowed to defend the state’s laws and ensure access to safe and legal abortion services, so he is in support of the status quo as well. But for some reason his website says that Reichert voted 3 times to ban abortion (false as debunked by me above, but also see it debunked here: https://mynorthwest.com/3994264/rantz-fa...o-ban-abortion/).

I'd say your opinion of Reichert has nothing to do with abortion, you just are a far left extremist and don't vote republican. But don't pretend there is some type of abortion difference between these two candidates. If you are going to hate on a candidate for something they both agree on, at least hate on both.
