“Republican Steve Daines of Montana took to the floor of the US Senate on Tuesday to compare women to sea turtles and eagles in a speech advocating for the restriction of abortion rights. “Why do we have laws in place that protect the eggs of a sea turtle or the eggs of eagles?” Mr Daines said. “Because when you destroy an egg, you’re killing a pre-born baby sea turtle or a pre-born baby eagle. Yet when it comes to a pre-born human baby rather than a sea turtle, that baby will be stripped of all protections in all 50 states under the Democrats’ bill we will be voting on tomorrow.” The rhetorical gambit to compare people who have babies to animals comes in advance of Wednesday’s scheduled vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act — a bill that would protect abortion rights across the country in advance of the US Supreme Court’s expected ruling reversing Roe v Wade next month.”

Oh yeah! A genuine comparison! What. An. Idiot. (But then, what else can one expect from a pro-lifer?)

Hello Nan. His stunt was meant for the base, who won’t question his reasoning that an endangered turtle egg is equal to the over populating human female’s eggs. The cult base won’t realize a turtle drops the eggs and goes away, a women has to be the entire support system for 9 months and possibly a lot longer. The base won’t think beyond egg to egg. Simple and fits a sound bite and that is what the cult base likes. It is easy for them to repeat. Anything deeper than that confuses them. Hugs
