Please explain exactly how anyone would have pushed for Garland? The Senate is inherently undemocratic and the Manchins snd Sinemas are okay with that because it gives them power to wield. |
This is where the conservative women who prayed for this failed to think. Their miscarriage can be investigated as an abortion. Get in a car accident and you’re injured and your fetus doesn’t make it? Well maybe that was intentional. You might be investigated. This affects ALL women even if you think you’re one of the “good” ones. |
Obama could have pushed harder but ultimately it is Mitch's fault. Too bad all of his constituents and all the Republicans have lost their rallying cry |
Summer of discontent continues. Abortion, guns, inflation, extreme heat. A bad mixture and I hope things don't boil up. |
I feel the same way. I have not felt this ill since he was elected. |
I had all of my babies after 30 and I was born in the early 70s. Finishing education and settling into a professional career took that much time. This is such a regressive thought that women need to put their role as a mother before their role as a professional! I feel sick. |
Mitch will kill the filibuster in 2023 and pass a federal ban on abortion. |
Oh i hope they do boil up. I hope the country implodes as a result of this . |
Yes, now babies can be born to be sacrificed to the NRA. MAGA! |
Yes. Because this country is governed by the worldview of a group of men who lived 350 years ago. They were apparently Prophets. |
What affect do the laws being crafted and enacted now have on where you live in the future? I could not live in Texas or Florida at this time, and even though I'm established in my state I would be open to moving to states next door if my state became a Texas or Florida. At the same time, I think I would first get a lot more involved in politics to change my state before leaving it. My Congresspeople are already voting as I'd like them to on the majority of issues now, so I vote and write letters but nothing else. If I were stuck in a deep Red state, though, I would be deeply unhappy these days. I feel they are being given permission to push the envelope ever farther on so many issues - guns, women's rights, LGBTQ+, division of church and state - and I am scared of how far they'll go. |

Lots of migrating between states will be going on. |
The thing is that is where we need more Democrats to move |
Basic human rights like health care should NOT be up to the states. It is a god-given right to make your own decision about whether to gestate a baby to term. |
