Story of a Trump Campaign Baby

“There were some...very high-profile people who are supposedly pro-life, who knew me and heard about what happened, and who didn’t reach out,” she said. “I thought it was very telling … You see these people saying, ‘Oh, we should reach out to women with unexpected pregnancies and let them know they’re not alone’—and I’m like, ‘I’m right here!’”

One leading pro-life figure with whom Delgado worked closely during the election was Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager. In a speech at the March for Life rally last January, Conway declared, “Our message and our positive action must also reach those women who face unplanned pregnancies. They should know they are not alone. They are not judged. They, too, are protected and cared for and celebrated.”

I asked Delgado if she heard from Conway during her pregnancy. “No,” she said.

Wow! This is really sad. Below is a well written piece on what it's like to be the "other woman" who happens to get pregnant while campaigning for Trump. Some true colors are revealed here. To say the least.

So, what should be done for women who have an unplanned pregnancy at a young age, the father split, wants nothing to do with the mom, what should be done for her?

It depends. I guess if your administration is all about being pro-life, then not ostracizing her and giving her a job she earned in spades would be a good first step.

Personally, I am pro-choice, and I would have recommended an abortion, especially when it became evident that baby daddy was going to be a scumbag about it.

I'm pro choice too. If a woman gets pregnant by accident and baby-daddy splits, and she doesn't have her **** together at all, why bring a child into that?

So many ironic twists in that story. Her religious belief supposedly prevents her from having an abortion but...apparently it didn't prevent her from banging a married guy. Married guy runs with this high and mighty "we are the moral people" agenda, but that doesn't prevent him from wetting his whistle on the side and ditching the baby mama when his whistle scored a direct hit. The whole, we want women to keep their babies crowd turns their back on a woman stuck with a surprise child. Freaking amazing.

Btw, the credibility of the conservative apologists for roger ailes and bill o'reilly is severely damaged concerning women's issues, etc.

They made it clear in the wake of those scandals.. it's a mans world and women are on their own.

I tweeted one of the Alt-Right women something along those lines the other day. I said, "You know you are just a baby machine for these people. Right? Once they dispense with the Blacks, Jews and gays, they are coming for you." No reply yet. :lol:

What is the rationale of being a female republican?

calamity said:

Depends on which version of Republican. The old version of fiscally conservative, law and order, small government with god and country above all? I can see the appeal. But, this new version of White Men need help too? Not so much.
