    Not recently, but he used to support the hyde amendment. Which prevented federal funds from being spend on abortion care-low income assistance programs, etc.

      Everybody supports Hyde. It’s in every finance bill. You can truthfully say everyone voted for it. Including, for instance, AOC.

        It gets tacked on to that which must pass, yes, but I was under the impression years ago he was a more stalwart supporter of it-which to his credit, he’s done a complete 180 on in recent years.

          I guess it really doesn’t matter what your imagined level of support is if you vote for the measure.

            Hm. Does this line of argument want me to be displeased with AOC? Or to wave off the disporportional hardship and ruin metered out by Hyde? It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world and I’m gonna haveta to admire AOC and still remember the faces of those would advocate roadblocks to basic rights in the off chance our paths cross in hell. 🤷‍♂️
