Good list! |
The House did pass a law codifying Roe but it had nowhere to go in the Senate. |
It went further than codifying Roe. And Schumer still never brought it to the floor for a vote, which again, would have put all of these “kavanaugh lied to me” boo-hooers on the record. Biden is a better candidate that Trump for women, but he takes the support of women for granted, while not delivering for them even in ways that are within his powers. That should scare him, especially if someone does stake a moderate (codify Roe) position. |
How exactly did it go further than codifying Roe? Roe, not Casey. Roe. Be specific. |
Roe didn’t have prohibitions against post-viability restrictions on abortion after the second trimester, that was up to the states. Which is not relevant, really, because no one had the courage to put it up for a vote, assuming women would just turn out to keep them in power and the hundreds or thousands of women suffering right now were a reasonable price to pay to get strong election turnout in 24. |
Oh please, the GOP wasn't letting it get past the filibuster. |
They did for gay marriage. And again: no one tried. Don’t expect the people in power to be exempt from criticism when they choose not to exercise that power. |
Schumer’s didn’t put it on the floor because he knew it wouldn’t pass. |
Nope. I refuse to compromise on anything if it means a GOP’r gets something they want. Hell no. |
It’s not a party. It’s the opposite of a party. |
Republicans have been conjuring up third party candidates to mess with elections at least since Lee Atwater did it in 1978 in South Carolina. |
