Luján’s position marks a betrayal of every woman who has ever supported the Democratic Party, and a rejection of the progressive values that supposedly define it. Being pro-choice is not a “requirement” of being a Democrat, but valuing equality ought to be, and true equality is impossible without abortion access. A win for a Democrat who opposes abortion rights is a loss for human rights. Honestly, if that’s the plan, maybe we should just scrap the two-party system and do a Democrat–Republican combo ticket. Tentative title: The White Supremacist Patriarchy. It’s a tactical deficit — one that Democrats must be especially mindful of in the midterms — but there are certain things that those who are truly motivated by equality cannot compromise on, and a pro-choice agenda is absolutely one of them. When it comes to true financial and social equity, a woman’s right to choose is nonnegotiable.Things to Read: During her interview, the host showed Laurie a personalized video ofSVU The decision came as the court dismissed a lawsuit against the movement, in which an unnamed Baton Rouge police officer claimedactivist DeRay Mckesson
