Quietly, maybe the shittiest, most despair inducing moment of the debate was Dana Bash asking Biden "Do you support any legal limits on how late a woman should be able to terminate a pregnancy?"

“The legal limit we had under Roe worked for America. I trust women to make decisions in consultation with their doctors.” If *I* was prepped for this exact question by following pre-debate coverage, Biden was prepped for this question.

They treat disingenuous, misleading right-wing talking points as credulous arguments. They always have. It's infuriating.
