Embattled state Rep. John Rogers, D-Birmingham, already under fire by Republicans for his “kill them now or kill them later” remark on abortion, said Thursday that Donald Trump, Jr. is
“evidently retarded” and should have been aborted. Rogers made the latest comments after the president’s son called his remark “stomach curling.”
“He’s evidently retarded. Uh, crazy,” the lawmaker said, adding that it was “an honor” to be rebuked by Trump. “Donald Trump’s son, I know there’s something wrong with that boy.”
Rogers went on to say that Trump was “the best defense I got for abortion right there – looking at him.” “His mother should’ve aborted him when he was born or he wouldn’t have made
that stupid comment, right?” Rogers told reporters.
Alabama Senate Majority Leader Greg Reed, R-Jasper, was among the Republicans who condemned Rogers comment, “So you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them in the
world unwanted, unloved, you send them to the electric chair. So, you kill them now or you kill them later.”
Rogers made the remark on Tuesday as the Alabama House debated and later passed a bill criminalizing abortion and making no exceptions for rape or incest.
It's still possible to have an abortion at 492 months.

Yeah, I don't blame this guy for being pissed off about stuff.
The bill authors want to go to court over it in the hopes Kavanaugh reverses Roe v. Wade
This man's savagery knows no limits holy Christ.
Given that alabama just knowingly passed a bill absolutely banning abortion and threatening doctors with 99 years in prison, the right can just fuck right off into the gulf of mexico
He's not wrong, but at the same time that applies just as much to Trump Sr.
At this point Democrats might as well join the madness because decorum was fucking kicked to death by Republicans a loooong time ago. Might as well start saying crazy shit since it doesn’t matter if you act like a saint or call someone a retard the GOP media engine will still vilify you.
Let's not insult the actually mentally disabled by comparing them to the dumpster fire that is the Trump family.
I've seen people mentally handicapped more capable than Trump Jr, so yeah, it's pretty offensive.
Any other time, this guy would be on the news about what he said and blasted until he apologized and resigned
But it's NORMAL now
Yo, this like
Isn't good
It isn't a good thing that both sides are devolving to juvenile shit like this. These people are supposed to be upstanding and professional, and help provide a discourse for the rest of the country to aspire to.
Still waiting for his comments on Eric.
I dunno, I've never been one to not call a spade a spade where the situation calls for it, and in any case you're already in a situation where being the better man yields nothing of any practical value anyway except for more insults from the other people.Or let me put it differently: just because I get told to jump in a well, doesn't mean I'm actually going to go through with it, because I would be really stupid if I did.
It's clear that one side is far from being professional. It's clear the only way to fight back is violence.
He's definite going to draw controversy for this from the people who think that Eric is the worst Trump child, but I can see why he'd say it.
Wait for some reason this is the first time I heard about the abortion thing in Alabama. Doesn't this spit in the face of Roe v. Wade?
The illusion of professionalism completely broke down when You-Know-Who joined the presidential race and achieved success despite being on record for saying heinous shit like "grab them by the pussy". Not only did he get away with it, he attracted more supporters on grounds of him being more "real" because of it.
They want to argue it to the supreme court. Now that it's packed with their guys they can shred Roe v. Wade.
its a tactic the right uses, State knowingly passes an illegal law ---> lose in federal court ---> appeal all the way to scotus ----> politically rigged scotus picks what they want
this is a cruise missile headed for Roe, and even if they uphold Roe it gives them an opportunity to change it, much like the rulings that have allowed states to massively restrict it
If Roe is killed, Trump is going to lose in a landslide and will bring red states that much closer to ruin.
they will go one step before killing it, allowing nearly unlimited restrictions so they can sneer at liberals and say "Well abortion is still legal!" and keep whipping their supporters by promising to end all abortions at a later date.
To be fair, is this state rep wrong? I'd be willing to say no. I'd also be willing to guess that there's been some inbreeding in the Trump family tree given Trump's thoughts about his own daughter.

Wat
This is why Trumpets love when Trump (or people like him) "say it as it is." It's very cathartic to hear a public official say this, but ultimately it adds nothing productive to the conversation and only muddies the conversation. It's completely a feel-good comment.
