TRUMP MOMENT FINALLY ARRIVES

Pro Choice Delivers The Trump Moment, And None Too Early.

We spend our lives following instructions, giving instruction, and making a difference.

At least that’s the idea.

Stay in your lane. Signal for lane change. Repeat.

Sounds too easy until it’s not, like the freeway merge artist who slides four lanes over like they’re looking for a parking spot.

It’s a dangerous move when someone does it, a dangerous move when you do it.

Is a bad freeway merge a legal problem? It is when you crash and explain what happened.

Crash is what Donald Trump did when he drove into Roe v Wade.

Before another word, this writer believes women can decide things for themselves. It doesn’t take a man to tell a woman her place, but plenty of men feel otherwise.

Men who need women to obey and serve them find ladies who need someone to obey and serve. It works the other way, too.

It’s not so much a beat down between equals as it is a need for an authority voice with the final word.

Donald Trump showed his hand when he said enough for the media to run headlines like, “Trump to punish women if they have an abortion.” The punishment to be determined at a later date.

Why wait for a later date when women are being punished now?

Does Mr. Trump understand the difference between Pro Choice and Pro Abortion?

No one is pro abortion. Women live with the aftershock of abortion. Live is the key word here.

Good choice or bad choice, it’s a woman’s choice to decide what she does with her body. If she’s pregnant from a bad choice in potential fathers, she can decide if she goes forward with the man or not.

If she decides the man isn’t fit for fatherhood, or she’s not fit for motherhood, she can decide on an abortion provider. A safe provider.

Following rules, instructions, and laws make for a civil nation. Games are played by rules, people learn through instructions, and countries are governed by laws.

Break the rules, ignore instructions, and pay the price. Break the law and suffer the consequences. Roe v Wade is the law. The Supreme Court decided abortions are a legal medical procedure.

Is it still too confusing?

Two men discuss the Donald Trump moment and abortion.

Man1: Do you think Trump knows what an abortion is?

Man2: Whether it’s birth control or murder?

Man1: Okay, it’s a medical procedure. Right?

Man2: Done by doctors.

Man1: Legally performed by doctors who terminate unwanted pregnancies.

Man2: Who decides the unwanted part?

Man1: The woman. Women decide what happens to their bodies. Just like you decide what to do with your body.

Man2: Like eat too much and get fat. Or smoke and drink myself to a blackout.

Man1: That’s the idea. Do you want someone telling you how much to eat? To drink and smoke?

Man2: Good luck with that. My first two wives tried their best.

Man1: How did that work out?

Man2: I ate more and drank more until I couldn’t hear them.

Man1: Imagine if you were pregnant by someone you barely knew and they left town when they found out.

Man2: Sounds like someone we know.

Man1: You could either live with the consequences or start over. Either have a baby, or wait until you found the right guy.

Man2: I’ve never been that guy.

Man1: So you’d have an abortion.

Man2: Yes, I’d choose abortion.

Man1: Would you choose abortion if you knew you risked your life with unsafe medical practices performed in a hotel room?

Man2: No, I’d go to a clinic.

Man1: And if there was no clinic, but you heard from a guy who knows a guy who does abortions in his house, would you schedule one.

Man2: Is he a doctor? What if I have complications.

Man1: He’s not a doctor, but says he’ll drop you off at an emergency room if something goes wrong. He’s done it before.

Man2: Like I’m bleeding to death because he screwed up?

Man1: Like that. Would you make that appointment?

Man2: You’re asking me if I trust some back alley abortionist for the job? I’d keep looking.

Man1: The clock is ticking. You’ve done your shopping. Do you make that appointment?

Man2: Well, when you put it like that I probably would.

Man1: So it doesn’t go well, they drop you off at the ER and the doctors there have to report a botched abortion. President Trump says you need to be punished. What would your punishment be?

Man2: Well he couldn’t punish me by sending me to some medical hack. Already did that.

Man1: Maybe some jail time or house arrest, something you’d have explain to friends and family.

Man2: Shame on me, huh? Do I have to wear a scarlet letter too?

Man1: You’ll look good in red, believe me. Red is the color you’ll look best in. No one will wear red better than you. See, I believe you’ll be fine with it on.

Man2: What happens to the guy who butchers me?

Man1: Not important. We’re talking about you.

Man2: Okay. Now I get it.

Man1: Do you? You get the Trump moment?

Man2: I’m the one with the bad abortion, okay? I get it. Last question: Do rich guys have special clinics for their party girls if they get pregnant?

Man1: Go ask a rich guy.
