So very refreshing 😌

Welfare mommas versus real mamas

@@virginiaevelyn8278 agreed

Hopefully they will.

Yes, Ms. Porter is so brilliant......asking questions, but refusing to let ANYONE answer. She's always reclaiming her time when ANYONE gives an answer she doesn't like. Typical politician from either side.

@@jimreeves5212 Yet it's amazing how the MAGA CRAZIES try to side-step every single question that requires a definitive and coherent answer, isn't it? Katie Porter and several other highly talented "answer seekers", simply don't allow the MAGAS to give incoherent, say nothing answers!

@@jimreeves5212 like MTG the gazpacho, Gaetz, trailer trash barbie etc? Lol funny how when we treat you the way you treat us it's wrong. Agh the hypocrisy. Your side's BS is so deep we need boots to wade through the swamp of creatures the MAGA rightwingers have dug out from under their rocks.

@@jimreeves5212 and you're right she is most definitely brilliant.

@@jimreeves5212nonsensical and bad faith answered are disrespectful to Porter’s constituents. She is right to reclaim her time from liars.

Amen !

But that's what they are after. They want all working women to sit down, shut up and obey men. They are threatened by women

These laws are the FIRST attempt to reinstall laws ,that 100 yrs ago, reduced women to CHATTAL!! This kind of control is a sick white man's fantasy!! Next they'll be calling women who don't comply witches & burn them at the stake!! Along with any other minority that defies them!! VOTE THESE 🤡🤡🤡 OUT OF OFFICE!!!

They're generally activists on the issue at hand, brought in by the Republicans on the other side of the issue, which those on a committee can do. They're just supposed to run their mouths in the hope of producing useful soundbites and raising their profile. They're not expected to persuade anyone.

@@Deguello23the way these hearing are run is garbage and needs massive reform.

Exactly. They want to make the word "abortion" dirty when, all it means is ending a pregnancy

Pretty much

@@shaunlynch2019 Does the gay flag have those stars and stripes on it for a reason ?

@@shaunlynch2019 dems hate MAPs and believe they should be on deserted islands. I’m a child rape survivor and I’m pretty sure others who went through what I did would also agree…the fact that you believe blatant propaganda designed to spread hate and violence is disgusting

@@shaunlynch2019..... You think Gays are MAP?

@@shaunlynch2019 lol. You mad.

The fact that you realize you need to be informed to be on the stage and talking to Rep Porter means that you'd actually have a decent and informative conversation with her.

Yess and we can't forget the AOCs and Jasmine Crocketts too!

Too bad... they were all aborted, or now think they're men!

@@cyncynn1357 NOR Lucille Ball either!

AND include Jane Fonda: SHE always knew what a real woman is/was. (and made it work for her!)

Your grandchild is so blessed to have you!!

That should enable them to also be against forcing women to carry dead or fatally ill fetuses to term. But, they're not going to go that extra mile in court.

It's like banning books when they don't know how to read!

AMEN!

Yep; public opinion polls make a dangerous king.

If you had half-an-ounce of brains you'd realise that ANY form of governance is 'dangerous form of governance" It's an UNNATURAL form of bullying. I abandoned my mother's apron-strings by about the age of three. YTF would anyone with an IQ of more than 14 need some other rsole telling them how to live THEIR lives. (and the worst aspect of it is that an individual is DENIED THE RIGHT to opt out of such systems. NO other living thing adopts such perversions. (Quite the opposite: if one fails to get along with other members of any species the dissenter is THROWN OUT of 'the community'.

@@dabbbles Well Mr. or Ms. Dabbbles.... I guess you're the only one on planet earth who has a "half-an-ounce" of brains because you seem to be the only one who has come up with...and/or adheres to...this strange phenomenal theory of "governance". 🙃

@JC-tp5lz ??????? Suggest you get a dictionary. 'Governance is the process of making and ENFORCING* decisions within an organization or society.' Note the word "enforcing". ANY form of governance DEPENDS upon enforcement. (and you might look up "phenomenal"); and finally consider the word 'theory'. Or skip the bits you have difficulty with and read a history book; and point out where my "theory" DOESN'T apply. (and while on the subject read up on the current French rebellion against 'governance'..... and compare it to the original French revolution. (against governance). *Governance, by definition depends upon enforcement (eg a rapist 'governs' his victim); and while a basic law of nature (which guides my views) dictates paying a price (with which I have no argument) the LACK OF ABILITY to opt out is an absolute PERVERSION of the Nature to which we all owe our allegiance.

👍

LOL. Nailed it! 👍🔥🇨🇦

hmmmmmm I'm a 'right-winger': and also an anarchist and anti-social crusader who resents any 'authority' I haven't personally decided might suit me. And ONLY me, because no two people are alike enough to be covered by rules made for the multitude. And as a right-winger AND chess-player I"D be winning the game instead of concentrating on the antics of birdshit.

You can’t reason with lunacy or willful ignorance/stupidity. So the issues that these staunchly maga right wing nut jobs keep picking at and pushing against will never make sense to people who understand and know the basic concept of human decency and respect for others because they don’t have those traits within themselves. Those people operate out of fear and complacency because it’s all they know. They’ll eventually find there is no place for their rhetoric or backwards ideology as time passes. There may be a lucky few who wake up to reality but judging from how far they operate outside of rational thought today, it doesn’t seem to predict any favorable outcome of that happening.

Because (a) they don’t identify with or even care to understand the needs of the majority of women; (b) it is politically expedient; (c) they are here to serve themselves - not the overwhelming majority in this country

Try reading up on evolutionary construction. Females "having control over themselves" is as much a perversion of nature as is homosexuality. EVERY other species is (naturally) aware of that reality. The females get 'uncontrollable' periods and uncontrollably come on heat, feeling the ancient NEED to breed: THUS 'controlling' themselves via their PURPOSE for existing. On the social level all 'variations' are possible by decree, but usually depend upon the ability to enforce a particular view. Women who (for whatever reason) live according to the natural order are recognised by males as a possession to be treasured. And real women know their 'value' increases with the degree of their possession. (Assuming the male counterpart lives up to HIS 'value'.) eg. See above: A lion without territory has virtually no chance of fathering a litter with a willing lioness; but a lion who gets/holds territory is surrounded by willing lionesses. It's the basis upon which ALL living things operate. Even plants! The ONLY good thing about the advent of 'feminism' is that to some degree it's separated out the 'valueless' females from the 'real' women. Saves everyone a lot of time and effort.

Oh gosh I caught that and had to hit pause from laughing so hard!!!

I'm donating to her campaign.

On these issues, they're also representing the majority of Americans (!!)

*Katie* Porter is a member of Congress.

It's Katie and she already is a congressperson.

I'm going out on a limb, here, but, perhaps Judith means that Katie would make a damn good President!!! 💗

Exactly! Like the poor woman that may never be able to have anymore children because the doctor was afraid to remove the fetus until she was sepsis over this stupid law. The action may have ruined her uterus from having any more children and could have killed her. The odd thing is they are worried about those babies in the womb but could care less after they are born to be healthy and a positive part of society.

"Until we get our laws passed, and then it's definitely an abortion". They're playing Calvin-ball basically.

@@reginafetty6374 Well put; but misses the REAL point. 'Abortion' is NOT, EVER, an issue for 'the law' or for ANYONE else other than the individuals involved. If you hamericans had ANY brains and guts you'd do better to take control of your POLITICIANS. (Or better, abort the entire political system of social manipulation. WTF is this acceptance of politics (and taxation ~ with which to hire enforcers!) all about??

Reading it and understanding what it actually says are 2 entirely disparate concepts for idealogues.

Absolutely!

Heck yea!!!

Rashida Talib is good, too. Head held high and proud. All these Dems are way too smart to put up with these hate+lies propaganda Reichwingers constantly spew.

Well what is it then?

There fools

I'm from her area of California..we love her white board

Soon to be senator!

Thank you for this medical definition. (“Medically, abortion means loss of the fetus, for any reason, before it is able to survive outside the womb”)

​@@jeremyreid9582How stupid are you? Don't answer that we all know now exactly how smart you aren't.

@@amwood7076 Based on the mindless idiocy that spews from your dunghole of a mouth its clear the acid you’ve been taking has killed every last brain cell in your head

It's no surprise that Republicans can't read. It's a very short and precise dictionary definition.

She has my vote 🙏🏽

katie porter for president.

@@lenniebostone9123 NO! A president can only serve, at most, 8 years. A senator can effect change for a lifetime! We have a lion it the Senate now, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. He is battling corruption at the Supreme Court and we need Katie to he there with him! You will never see true reform in corruption from people like Pelosi and Schumer since they feed from Wall Street's trough.

paid 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Selected by the Reps.

Why are you calling bigots,clowns?

Totally

She brings the facts. I love how she does her homework and knows the answer to all of her questions when the witnesses say “I don’t recall”.

As long as it is a woman's choice not a government entity

This is good stuff. Even though using their own rhetoric against them they still would come up with something even more incomprehensible to justify their fascist views.

@@whenwedecay The question remains: YTF do people tolerate 'governments' per se?? You're dishonouring countless generations of ancestors who never allowed such social cancers. STOPPITT!!

@@dabbbles choose for yourself and not others you entitled buffoon

As a more conservative person, even I'm scratching my head at that one.

The anti abortion laws say otherwise unfortunately.

In this bizarro world, you are correct, sir

@@3rdmin1st3r go figure.

So; you assert that we spend part of our lives as nonliving. By what mechanism are we endowed with life?

@@michaelpcoffee when the lungs fully develop past viability and the brain grows and becomes conscious enough to function.

@@ladylaurus8493 Really. How does a nonliving entity do all of that?

@@michaelpcoffee it’s not that it’s not living…it is living cells like a tumor…but it’s not a person. Forced pregnancy is rape and slavery.

@@michaelpcoffee Because it doesn't. The process is carried out by the mother's body producing stem cells and building the eventual child.

Christian nation! Praise invisible sky 💩!

​@@SpayAndNeuterChristians Please stop blaming Christians for everything... including a rainy day when you want to play golf! I consider myself a Christian, and I'm also a Trumper hater and vehemently oppose everything that vile man says and does...so please stop blaming me for the evils in this world!

@@JC-tp5lz Maybe it's time to re-evaluate your life choices and choose better friends. Have a nice day!

​@@JC-tp5lz Right, it's not the true Christian faith that's doing this. These people are worshiping ~something~ else. They do not walk the path of Christ.

@@markcrume What are you trying to say, Mark?? Your post makes 'zero' sense to me. Exactly what 'friends' are you talking about? What 'life choices? Please "say what you mean, and mean what you say"!

THAT'S a nasty thing to call activist females! 'Real Americans' indeed!!

What a difference between women like her or Elizabeth Warren or Cori Bush or AOC or... The list goes on. Compared to MTG or Bobert or good God! Those 2 are majorly flawed.

Absolutely!!

Another stupid assertion! In a country full of extremely competent 'Yiddische Mommas' (Israel) the 'greatness' is achieved by (mostly gun-toting) men. A place for everything, and everything in its place.

PS incidentally, it seems to have slipped your tiny mind that it WASN'T women (in the top jobs or anywhere else) that 'made america great' the FIRST time around.. It could, in fact, be legitimately argued that women escaping from the kitchens and bedroom is what's turned america into the giant sewerage-farm it is today.

ABSOLUTELY!

YES! Can’t think of anyone better.

PLEASE...just one debate with tRump. PLEASE!

Well-stated.

And if they can't answer a question, they start with transgender distraction speak. Idiots.

Its the "land of the free....mine not yours" mindset.

It is about control and Heretics and un-believers have no standing and must die. Its about 'some' Christians claiming to be human/humane and denying that humanity to others.

Omg/ did she really just say that? They really believe the entire world lives in their alternate reality.

So, if they claim to think that they are adults, we should let them drink and smoke and do drugs and have sex at 5 or 6... maybe 8 years old. MAP much?

@crazyjacobins I'm not sure what map means. I said I don't think adults can dictate how children think and feel. I think you missed the point.

YTF do you say that as though it's a desirable condition??

I would argue they're beyond Democrats, and the people who should be leading a 'Progressive' party. The typical Democrat right now in power is Nancy Pelosi and other "Republican light" ilk. We need to get businesses in check, and remove money from politics.

Yooo Porter for president 2028!!

@greenbay9712 bigot troll. go home.

You should see the other side. They think having genitalia is a state of mind.

@wesleygary6651 Only ones who says shit like that are you.

@@wesleygary6651your sick mind made that up. Kids go to therapy and experts if they have these feelings . It’s illegal in the USA to chop children up you liar

Pregnancy ends one of two ways, delivery or abortion, which can be spontaneous (miscarriage) or induced. There's no other way to end a pregnancy.

I know OMG like DUDE
