Revealed: Matthew Whitaker favors hardline anti-abortion policies

Source: Guardian

Remarks from Trump’s acting attorney general position the conservative Christian as an even more forceful opponent of abortion that his predecessor.

A review by the Guardian of previously unreported remarks revealed Whitaker has advocated for hardline anti-abortion policies that would drastically reshape laws affecting American women seeking to terminate a pregnancy.

Whitaker, a conservative Christian, endorsed “personhood” bills that would effectively outlaw abortion, and said as a Senate candidate that he would spend every day in Washington pushing anti-abortion policy.

A person like Whitaker makes it clear to me that anti-abortion is not about their religious beliefs, it is about controlling women.

My late father said to me fifty years ago about anti-abortion zealots:

"They don't want to control abortion. They just want to control."

That SOB must go. He has absolutely no qualifications to be Attorney General. Trump has no qualifications to be "president", and we can all see what a fucking disaster that's been. Let's not compound the country's ills by allowing this human toilet plunger to make any decisions about the legality of anything before we can get rid of him.
