Be careful what you wish for

July 23, 2024 by Guest Post

by Archie Thomas & Merry Schrumpf, Corvallis

Political parties like people need to be careful what they wish for. The Trump party was successful overturning Roe vs Wade making abortions illegal and focusing public and media attention on Joe Biden’s age. Their success has sucked the media attention from Trump, focused public attention on the positive character qualities inherent in Biden’s withdrawal, left Trump the oldest nominated presidential candidate in history running against potential candidate Harris 20 years younger. 

Trump is now the only word fumbling elder in the race. The only presidential candidate without the character to accept his 2020 election defeat in addition to being responsible for overturning Roe vs Wade. 62% of Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases.(https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2022/07/06/majority-of-public-disapproves-of-supreme-courts-decision-to-overturn-roe-v-wade/) 

It is the responsibility of the American voter to make the right decision in November.

    Overturning ROE V WADE did not make abortion illegal. Get your facts straight. That is a purposeful misleading statement. Shame on you. It has now become a STATE issue and the States can do with abortion what they like. Should never have been Federal.

      Should slavery also be a state issue? How about whether a black man and white women can get married? Is it also a state’s right issue whether a woman can vote, or get a credit card in her own name without her husband’s permission? What about birth control, also a state issue?

      These people WILL NOT stop until they have dragged the entire country backwards in time 150 years.
