But other states may implement this law making illegal abortion for Down syndrome, fragile X, etc. This is setting a dangerous precedent and must not be given a foothold in VA. I lived in Berlin in the 90’s, this is straight up Stasi stuff.

Dems need to keep the majority or you may find yourself living in a authoritarian state.

Do you mean 30s?

Stasi was East Germany, big in 60’s. My point was that even as the Wall was coming down, people were afraid. My roommates boyfriend was
From East Germany. He had stories. Really, this law that outsources enforcement to citizens is horrific and should alarm all Americans.

You need to review your Cold War history.

Regardless of timeframe, SCOTUS allowing the deputizing of citizens to enforce anti-abortion law sets a very, very scary precedent.

They have to be, because their policies are toxic.
That’s why Republicans lie about stuff like this. To the extent it’s Orwellian. War is peace. Freedom is Slavery. Jonah Goldberg, Republican: liberals are authoritarians.
Lies.


The truth is, it is authoritarian states that are the problem, and modern US liberal Dems are anti-authoritarian, while Republicans are pro-authoritarian.

But Republicans have to lie about that.

First of all, you’re wrong.

Second, you live amongst many, many middle-of-the-road folks who tend to lean right for the sake of fiscal responsibility and national security. Speaking like you do only alienates them, pushes them deeper within, and makes your side look like terrorists willing to hurt anyone and anybody to get your way.

Note: the TX law is ridiculous and shouldn’t be upheld

Love, your friendly neighborhood Republican

NO Republicans are not the party of "fiscal responsiblity".

They stood by and let Trump steal and grift how many 100 of millions of $ while in office. Election lies cost and are still costing taxpayers $600 million and counting.

Spare us the garbage you are spewing. They are not in any way fiscally responsible. Ron Johnson and Mo Brooks and Ted Cruz are perfect examples of grifters.

Total garbage in 2021. We’ve seen the last few decades of GOP “fiscal responsibility” - such a joke.

100% this. The Republican party is unrecognizable from what it was a long time ago - fiscally responsible, support for law and order, etc. Sadly, it has become a party of grifters, bullies, white supremacists, and anti-women, anti-voting, anti-democracy, anti-war-heroes and gold-start families, even anti-law enforcement with their treatment of capitol police. I wish they would clean house as we need 2 strong political parties with ideas for governing.

Now do NY, CA, CT and NJ, who offer bounties and rewards for turning in people who own guns that were formerly legal, but were then made illegal by a change in the law.

Go ahead. I’ll wait.

What does the bolded mean in this context?

Yeah. Sort of like the self-appointed neighborhood park police who loved to call the cops on kids not wearing masks when playing sports outside last summer. Is that what you're referring to, PP?
