Trump’s No Godsend

Usually, we ignore the rantings of anti-choicers. But the condescending, contemptuous tone of Voicer Vanessa Pallotto’s worship of President Trump just makes our blood boil. Does she see, or even care that Trump’s “championing” of the unborn is just a coldly political effort to secure the evangelical vote, and that it is linked with his refusal to provide vital care to children and families that are already here? He wants to cut Medicaid, he wants to defund Planned Parenthood. Does she care that these are often the only ways many pregnant women can get health care?

Voicer Pallotto then has the utter gall to blithely decree that there can be no comparison with Trump’s denial of crucial information and resources to battle the coronavirus, leading to nearly 200,000 American deaths. The connection is his depraved indifference to existing life!

Of course, Ms. Pallotto is free to vote for her hero, twice if she likes. But don’t try to convince us that Trump’s phony crusade for the unborn cancels out his cruel indifference toward those of us who are already here. We are desperately in need of a leader with a heart and a soul. Someone like Joe Biden.
