She is living in the 19th century and using the same state&#8217;s rights arguments that were used to support slavery and ensuring that black people don&#8217;t have the right to vote&#8230;so I guess to this hack it is against democracy to try to protect everyone in the US&#8230;even those who live in states that have been rigged so the repubs control them and she is just fine with that rigging&#8230;.again, this is the same bullshit argument that has been made since before the civil war&#8230;and it reeks of pushing her religion (catholicism) on everyone since she works for a catholic organization whose purpose is to outlaw abortion in this country&#8230;.it is specifically because of people like ferguson why protections for all the groups she and her repub counterparts hate have been federalized&#8230;if we left it to the states she so reveres, slavery would still be a thing and women would still be property to be controlled by men&#8230;.and minorities would still not have the right to vote&#8230;and she can&#8217;t deny that with the continuing efforts of her beloved repub party, that right is under attack in 2022&#8230;.what a right wing hack&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well&#8230;just read an opinion piece in USA today that has me pissed off that they would allow this right wing hack, Maureen Ferguson, to spew her right wing nonsense in a national paper.
