Your rationale makes far too much sense to ever persuade the likes of Graham.

What a bunch of poorly-reasoned, ill-conflated nonsense.
Here’s a point: Every single accusation the GOP has leveled at Planned Parenthood has been false, an outright lie, revoltingly so. Republicans do not care that they have painted a world-renowned health organization, one that’s helped millions of women (including, surely, countless Republican women, GOP members’ own wives and daughters), as as merely a “seller of baby parts.” It’s a vicious lie. But Robert Dear, for one, believed them. I agree with every bit of the paragraph quoted above. But what do Republican lies about Planned Parenthood and an ongoing war to deprive women of their critical reproductive rights and access to health services have to do with the entirely separate right to keep and bear arms? Morford wanting to deprive citiens of the RKBA will not help women's rights one whit. And then he veers off in another wrong direction: By the way, here’s the gun lobby, arguing that suspected terrorists should continue to have access to guns in the US, without background checks. So here's Morford calling for the systematic violation of people's right to due process and "to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence." So he's not only against the Second Amendment; he's also perfectly willing to trash the Sixth Amendment. Morford favors tyranny. This is not who we want defining or protecting any rights, women's included. -app |

I commit myself as a bulwark AGAINST going down that road.

She systematically excluded any discussion of single-payer from her show until it was too late.
