I’m surprised to see Charlie seeming to push for BBB from this administration when it is this administration that is vehemently opposed to the pro life movement.
I think this is a great discussion, and really worth having so forgive me for quibbling, but billing it as an “interview” made it off putting for me to hear so much of Camosy’s opinions. It made it seem both like Camosy spoke too much while simultaneously not having the space to really defend his positions (as re BBB which I tend to think is not the right take, agreeing more with Brown and Lopez, but again, we don’t really get to hear Camosy’s full opinion, so who knows.) If the author’s opinions are up for consideration it seems to make more sense to bill it as a “conversation” or something, than an interview. I don’t know, maybe it’s because I don’t know much about Mr. Camosy and while we get an introduction of Mr.Brown and Ms. Lopez I got the impression that Mr. Camosy was just the journalist/interviewer, but maybe I’m wrong? Maybe introduce Camosy with the others to explain his background and area of expertise on the subject?
I believe it is past time for anti-abortion people to stop and think about HOW to help a pregnant woman raise her child. We have to agree that Republicans, who declare themselves the pro-life party, historically have not wanted to fund programs they think are unnecessary. They think those who receive welfare are lazy and won't work. In my state, politicians wanted to drug test ppl applying for Medicaid. There is a strong tendency to think those who need help are welshing off the rest of us. If we want woman to be able to think about finding a way to raise her child, our entire SOCIETY must support both her and that child (not necessarily only financially). There needs to be enforced financial support from the father. The BBB may be too big, but it's hard to argue with the good it would do for so many.
