Don't usually comment--I come here for the interesting takes on baseball and politics, even if I tend to disagree with a lot of the political hot takes. 

On the political posts, I'm often left holding my breath, and find it not worth it to correct misconceptions, lies, or positions that I jsut don't agree with.

This infantcide blurb is absurd, though.  The comparison to some Republicans believing all abortion should be banned is absurd.  There truly are Republicans who believe that a woman who is raped should have no right at any point in a pregnancy to decide for herself whether to carry that baby, give birth, and then raise it.  I know the vast majority of the populace would agree there.

On the flip side, to suggest that there are Democrats who support infantcide (killing of children, post-birth, up to age 1), is truly absurd.  That's Fox News-level fear-mongering, that I wouldn't expect to see after years of reading this site.  There's no basis in fact (unless you want to help educate this progressive), and that type of suggestion is exactly what Fox News is known for: throw something outrageous out there, and see if their viewership (which is desparate for this kind of nonsense) takes the bait and inserts it into their newfound base of "facts".
