That Republican Congressman is talking about a Democrat just out of the panel. They don’t mind Moore taking your daughter for a drive, it isn’t like she is in a womb.
The “Grand Order of Perverts” would have an extremist theocracy with women reduced to chattel, as in “The Handmaid’s Tale” – why Pence should be removed as well. His oddities are a prime example of christaliban disciplines.
The current polarization in the US and around the world is the triumph of the Enlightenment. The unfettered pursuit of individual freedoms uncouples the cultural boundaries that are the social glue for our species.
On the so-called “right” we have worship of the market as the panacea to promote individualism and freedoms. On the so-called “left” we see people invoking the power of the state to right the obvious wrongs and distortions of unfettered markets. Both markets and governments become grossly distorted in their seemingly opposed dialectic. But they are two sides of the same coin.
The degradation of interpersonal and community-based societal boundaries in the pursuit of individual “happiness” and individual “freedom” is one outcome of our market-based system. When the market fails to constrain the consequent antisocial behavior (which is not a market objective, after all) the state is called upon to step in to try to correct the problem. When attempting to right the market wrongs , state action feels impersonalized, bureaucratized and coercive—which it often is. The coercive nature of state-focused solutions is precisely due to the failure of the market. And the failure of the market is a direct result of the drive for individual freedom. This causes people to either accept or reject state-solutions, which further exacerbates the very problems both the state and the markets were intended to solve.
The PPACA is a perfect example of how this plays out in America.
The real irony is that the two extremes of the political spectrum are so inextricably tied together that our collective behavior lurches between one pole and the other. The “right” insists the market will solve everything,and the “left” urges corrective action when the markets fail. But both sides are trying to embody the Enlightenment ideal of maximizing individual freedom and individual latitude for independent action while correcting for the excesses of the other.

But you don’t want any of Moore’s underage teen girl friends getting an abortion when he makes them pregnant.

Davies is also calling attention to the bigger problem — the utter disdain the GOP has for average Americans!
