For a party that’s obsessed with denying women reproductive rights, it wasn’t something anyone wanted to talk about at the Reagan Library.
By leaving reproductive rights unmentioned until the last 15 minutes, the debate moderators trivialized the concerns of millions of Americans who have been fighting for their right to make decisions about their own bodies.Reproductive rights are not just a social issue; they represent a core aspect of individual autonomy, personal freedom, and gender equality. They affect, at minimum, 51 percent of the American population.
Moreover, the limited time devoted to reproductive rights prevented any chance at a meaningful and nuanced discussion on the topic. It’s challenging to engage in a comprehensive dialogue in such a rushed environment. Critical follow-up questions went unexplored because the moderators barely skimmed the surface of the topic.
It is essential to recognize that reproductive rights are not solely a partisan issue. There are Republicans who support a woman’s right to choose, just as there are Democrats who hold more conservative views on this matter. The lack of attention to this issue not only alienates a substantial portion of the electorate, but stifles any chance at a healthy debate within the GOP itself.
Among the things these GOP extremists are demanding as they threaten a shutdown? They want to see us cut $14.7 billion to public schools in high poverty areas, 70 percent of nutrition assistance for children, and slash $750 million from the budget of Head Start. The party of so-called “family values” is willing to let an estimated 39% of all infants go hungry.
