O'Donnell says things I've never heard a man say to other men -- that it is men who create pregnancies.
Every pregnancy is the responsibility of a man.
And the horrible liars that Republican men are, even by men's standards.
Later, he brings on Val Demings! She shows what a formidable opponent Senator she'll be for Florida!

And Beto O'Rourke!

Republicans in Washington have spent decades lying about more things than they can keep track of. Remember that they lie about tax cuts for the rich, increasing revenue to the Treasury; theyve always lied about that no matter how many times it has been proven to be a lie' and now they've gone all the way to lying about who won the presidential election.
What could ever stop them from lying about abortion, lying about what they really think about abortion. I for one believe that every Republican member of the United States Senate who favors banning all abortions is an abject liar
There is not a single Republican member of the United States Senate who would force a daughter or a granddaughter who was raped, to have that baby
who was impregnated by her high school boyfriend, to have that baby. They all believe in an exception for rape or incest for themselves and their families. There is no Republican senator with a 13 year-old daughter or granddaughter who would force that girl to have a child.
But they insist. They insist that any 13 year-old girl In Mississippi or Texas or many other states, who cant afford to travel, must have a baby at age 13 because they cannot afford to travel. The Supreme Court only has the power to deny abortion services to women or girls who cannot afford to travel to a safe haven state
or when the Supreme Court decides that every fetus has the full rights of personhood, and therefore abortion is murder, in all fifty states
And still no daughter or granddaughter of any Republican U.S. Senator will ever, now or in the future, EVER be denied abortion services because of the law of this land. They will buy their way out of that for their daughters or granddaughters
they are all pro-choice. There is no family decision to be made without a choice
Bush didnt believe that all abortions should be banned, but he appointed a Supreme Court justice who believes exactly that, and has written a draft that will ban all abortions in many states immediately and possibly lead eventually to a Supreme Court-imposed ban on all abortions in all 50 states

...there is no reason to think that there arent more Republican members of the House and Senate who have paid for abortion services for their wives, for women they were having affairs with, for their daughters, granddaughters.
To force a raped 13-year old girl, to force a 12 year-old child to have a baby, to force a raped child to have a child -- to force her to do that is barbaric. And every Republican senator knows that
