Freedom’s rock?

October 1, 2024 by Guest Post

by Jim Parker, Hamilton

Please explain to me: Does Tim Sheehy’s position on abortion amount to a defense of the right of fathers and brothers to rape their daughters and sisters? Or am I missing something? No exceptions to a National Ban except for a mother’s health is what I hear him saying. What else could this mean? Does Governor Gianforte also support Sheehy’s position, a complete ban on all elective abortion?  

Is bodily autonomy the rock upon which all freedoms we enjoy rests?

    Oh Jim – did you really say “Does Tim Sheehy’s position on abortion amount to a defense of the right of fathers and brothers to rape their daughters and sisters?”
    I am embarrassed for you.

    Bill Cav. The First Amendment allows you to worship any one of the thousands of invisible, magical beings that men have invented. No one is infringing that. It also allows me to call any or all of these imaginary beings “Sky Wizards”. Surely you are not in favor of cancel culture, are you? Surely you are not in favor censoring free speech, are you? Of course you’re not. You just got so wound up in protecting “Trump, the Insult Comic” that you forgot that others have the right to speak their minds as well.

    You have not researched his position. All you are hearing is Tester commercials. I suggest a bit of research on his position. What you are hearing are out of context soundbites and not the full statements.

      Not true, Tracy. For every Tester commercial, there are at least one Sheehy ad, most of which lie about Tester. By the way, he never voted to give amnesty to anybody.

        Can You Provide Proof from a reliable source that there are “At least one Sheehy Ad” for every Tester Ad? Or is this some more slanderous babble that is typical of Democrats?
        Follow the Money Wayne… Tester has way more Dark out of state money pouring into Montana and Most of it from D.C. and New York.

          Bill, I watch television just like presumably you do. I have no interest in counting Tester ads vs Sheehy ads. But I certainly hope Tester is having more ads than Shady Sheehy. We need Tester in the Senate to keep doing his work for our state and nation.

            Why are Democrats so pathetic? Seriously…. YOu actually can’t get through a sentence without name calling? “Shady Sheehy”? His Name is Tim, and he put his life on the line for your country so show the man some respect. it’s like your Lap Dog Buddy Gomez with his “Sky Wizard” comment. only a self absorbed Narcissist could be so disrespectful to his fellow humans choosing to practicing religion under the protection of the First Amendment.
            Respect is earned and neither one of you is owed any with your pathetic 3rd grade attitudes.
