Summary

Mike Pence opposed Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of HHS, citing Kennedy’s support for abortion access as a sharp departure from the Trump-Pence administration’s pro-life stance.

Pence urged Senate Republicans to reject Kennedy’s nomination, claiming Kennedy supports “abortion on demand” and restoring Roe v. Wade.

Both pro-life and abortion rights groups criticized Kennedy’s appointment, with pro-life leaders expressing concerns about his past positions and abortion rights advocates calling him unfit.

    Honestly I’m at the point where I just don’t know which way minimizes casualties. I feel like it’s like trying to calculate if the nukes in WW2 saved more lives than they cost.

    Stopping facism seems off the table. If something manages to moderate it, it may kill less per year, but may last decades longer.

    Letting it run without rails it may kill millions, may start a war, but it might collapse on itself sooner.

    IMO the real mystery is, did the people who had the spine to say no to trump in 2016-2020… part of why he got elected again… if trump had say been allowed to launch a nuke into a hurricane, would he have been able to make his comeback.
