Struggling to deal with Inflation? Kill more babies, a Democratic representative in a California swing district says.
Appearing on MSNBC (because of course), Democratic Rep. Katie Porter insisted that Abortion and Inflation were linked issues, telling Lawrence OāDonnell that women āneed to be able to be in charge of how many mouths theyāre going to have to feed.ā
(As the Supreme Court prepares to release its official opinion on Roe V. Wade in the coming weeks, weāll be covering the latest developments here at The Western Journal ā along with the Democratsā hysterical and inappropriate overreaction to them ā all from a Christian, conservative perspective you wonāt find in the establishment media.

Porter, appearing on the network Wednesday, was asked by OāDonnell how the issues of Inflation and abortion compare.
āI donāt think they compare; I think they actually reinforce each other,ā Porter said.

āThe fact that things like Inflation can happen, and it can become more expensive to feed your kids and to fuel your car is exactly why people need to be able to be in charge of how many mouths theyāre going to have to feed,ā Porter continued.
āThe fact that weāre seeing this jump in expenses, that weāre seeing people having to pay more in the grocery store, pay more at the pump, pay more for housing, is a reason that people are saying, āI need to be able to make my own decisions about when and if to start a family.'ā
āI donāt think itās about comparing them or contrasting them,ā she summed up. āI think they reinforce for people just how big of a responsibility it is to take care of a family.ā
Weāll come back to those final words in a moment. But first, letās note that Porter is positioning herself as an Inflation hawk ahead of the November election.

As The Orange County Register noted, sheāll be facing headwinds, considering her newly drawn district only leans Democratic by 1 point and polls indicate weāll see a massive GOP midterm wave.
On Wednesday ā the same day as Porterās appearance on MSNBC in which she suggested on-demand Abortion is a tool for women to handle Inflation ā Politicoās Sarah Ferris prominently featured Porter in a piece about Inflation, Abortion, Democrats and the midterms.
āOnly after Rep. Katie Porter put bacon in her cart at her local grocery store recently did she notice that its price had spiked to $9.99 a pound. Reluctantly, she put the package back,ā Ferrisā empurpled piece began.
āIt was a dose of reality that Porter, a California progressive and single mother of three, has long understood. But sheās not sure all of her Democratic colleagues share her interest in connecting to average Americansā experiences outside the Beltway.ā
āToo often, Congress recognizes issues too late,ā Porter said of inflation. āI had a colleague mention to me, āWeāre not seeing it in the polls.ā ⦠Well, you donāt know what to ask.ā
Ironically, later in the piece, Ferris noted āDemocratsā own internal polling has confirmed they have problems with the way they talk to voters.ā
Porterās take on the matter was meaningless babble about avoiding meaningless babble: āConveying is part of it. But first, you have to see it. Voters are very quick to be able to sense when something is hollow rhetoric,ā she said. āItās not about just switching up your talking points. Itās about seeing the issues.ā
However, itās worth noting because, literally less than 24 hours after the piece was published, Porter went on TV and told America that women need the right to sacrifice their unborn child to lick Inflation.
Thereās a near-demonic quality to this kind of rhetoric. Porterās MSNBC appearance wasnāt the first time in recent weeks that a politicianās take on Abortion brought to mind child sacrifices made to Moloch, but almost no elected official has made the connection as explicitly as she has.
Children are a gift from God; Porter seems to view them as a potential impediment to affording bacon.
Does Inflation āreinforce for people just how big of a responsibility it is to take care of a family,ā as Porter said? It should, and there are a range of options to handle this responsibility. They include both prophylactics and the decision not to have sexual relations, thus precluding the creation of a human lifeĀ in the first place.
Once itās conceived, however, itās a life. Letās hope this clip plays as many times as it has to in Porterās new district to prove to voters sheās a radical, not an Inflation hawk.
