Miscarriages ARE a horrible thing. I'm the oldest of 9 kids and my mom still mourns the child she miscarried before me. It's a harrowing experience for a mother.

Also, there's a HUGE difference between a miscarriage (which the mother rarely has control over) and the deliberate killing of an unborn child. Monumental difference.

Maybe I took your post out of context. If, so, I apologize.

the emotional toll depends on the woman's own personal interpretation of life, etc. I know some women who've had very early abortions and don't mourn at all because they don't believe it was a child.

Miscarriages are natural accidents. Abortions are deliberate actions by humans. That's like saying murders aren't some horrible thing because people die of cancer all the time.

Bro, I've never met a woman who's been all la di da after a miscarriage. And I've been around a ton of women who've miscarried. Not once have I ever seen it be an experience that they just write off as no big deal, I'm sorry.

That is not the same thing as a miscarriage.

"I'm" not doing anything but I told y'all a long time ago that Trump was following the Obama social media plan and he won't lose unless he steps on his own dick


And he ain't losing to Hillary, take that to the bank

I still stand by two things that will put Hillary into office, even if it is against Trump:

1) OMG first woman president!!!
2) The country did awesome while Bill was president, so I feel safe with Hillary

That's on top of the fact that there's probably a good chunk of people who would rather go the "safe" route of an established politician over the wild card.

Can't disagree with that logic.

If Elizabeth Warren were Bill's wife, I would agree with you. But this is Hillary we're talking about, here. She may actually have piled up enough baggage to negate all those advantages.

Though Trump is the LEAST likely of the three candidates to beat her. The media hasn't BEGUN to vet him. Conversely, they've essentially run his campaign for him. That ends when the general election gets underway.

For every woman that will vote for her, there is one that hates her. And she's not as popular with minorities as many believe.

Disagree, Rubio and Cruz might as well have "the establishment" tattooed across their foreheads as far as the working class American is concerned.

And didn't Obama teach you guys that the young voters don't give a shite about skeletons in the closet.

Speak for yourself. It can be a very devastating event.

Do you have any first hand experience?

Disagree. I think the media makes it clear they view Cruz as an outsider.

I think we give the average American voter too much credit. "Woman" + "Clinton" = win

Well that's why everyone keeps getting surprised by Trump. Everyone who pays attention decides that "well once the voters see (insert detailed knowledge about the candidate) then they'll stop supporting them." Except 80% of the voters are voting based on attractiveness or name or hair or some other BS.

Go up to to random Joes standing in line on election day and ask them about Hillary's email scandals and I guarantee 80% of them will either give you a blank stare or know what it is but don't know any details.

That's not true at all, it's absolutely devastating to many people. Some women go into full blown depression, I have an aunt who had two miscarriages before her first child and it still effects her.
