Colorado Gov. Jared Polis might want to have checked with a few more Democrats before declaring that they believe abortion is “bad.”

The pro-choice governor landed in hot water with some fellow Democrats and abortion rights groups as he sought to find common ground between the parties by saying both sides agree that elective pregnancy termination isn’t a good thing.

“Democrats don’t believe that abortion is good. We believe it’s bad. It should be minimized,” Mr. Polis said in a July 23 interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “How do you prevent unwanted pregnancies?”

(F-150 Deals | Search Ads) His comment went unnoticed for a few weeks, but once it landed on the party’s radar, a cadre of Democratic state legislators — Rep. Lisa Cutter, Rep. Megan Froelich and Sen. Julie Gonzales — scolded the governor for placing abortion in a moral context with his “careless words.”

“This statement is deeply troubling and not consistent with the right to make private medical decisions, a right that the Colorado voters have affirmed over and over again. Abortion is health care and should not be subject to politicians’ moral judgment,” the legislators said in an Aug. 14 op-ed in The Denver Post.

“Rep. Brianna Titone, a Democrat and the state’s first transgender legislator, told Colorado Politics that Mr. Polis is “a man talking about abortion and has a hard time, as men do, talking about abortion,” and it “upsets a lot of people when he takes a soft stance to appeal to the other side.””

LOL. Irony noted.

So a man cannot talk about abortion because that’s only for women who can understand. But a man can play in woman’s sports? Have I got it?

Democrats used to believe what Polis said. Sadly, he’s behind the times.

Actually, it’s one step nuttier than that. Brianna Titone is actually a man masquerading as a woman criticizing men for talking about abortion.

Brianna was born Brian.

No. He’s running for President and carefully positioning himself as a not-crazy democrat. Of course every act he has actually taken is pro-abortion, viciously anti-gun, and wildly hard green. But the media will tout him as a moderate.

So according to left handed mindset, abortion is health care, a procedure done by a doctor or other medical professional because it is “necessary” . . . and this is a GOOD thing?! Oh We have granted them the “It’s Healthcare” argument when it is NOT. It is elective and it is, in 99% of all cases NOT NECESSARY.

Hey, Gov, “Kill the baby” has been the Democrat party Prime Directive since 1970. Has that changed?

Gay people are rabidly pro-abortion. Think about it.
