This isn't about short-term. This is a long-term losing political strategy. Polling indicates people are more opposed to a federal ban SINCE Dobbs. The horrific news stories coming out week after week are not helping. Nor are politicians saying things like pre-teen rape victim should be forced to bear their rapist's child and that they will eventually be thankful for it.

These men a living in the past, when men and women didn’t talk about the real things impacting their family planning.

No one under 50 these days is on this train. No idea what they are thinking.

Are those idiot women Republican voters? I don’t know any Democratic woman in a blue state who is complacent about this; we are all aware that the GOP is fascist and forced birther.

There were lots of posters in the Dobbs leak thread and the Dobbs decision thread who said it wouldn’t affect them since they lived in or near a blue state.

No. Just complacent women who have lived in mostly privilege.

Not surprising. It’s not like he ever had to worry about getting someone pregnant.

It’s like he’s jealous or something—he’s taking obscene pleasure in punishing women for...reasons I guess.

This genuinely scares me. That they’re being so brazen weeks ahead of the midterms doubling down on something they know is so unpopular…it makes me wonder if they know it doesn’t matter if they don’t get votes. What are they up to?

LG is many things, but not stupid or inexperienced. So he knew this would not be well received by his fellow politicians. Is it just an attention grabbing stunt? Change what everyone is talking about?

Probably in part. When was Donald on the golf course sans clubs again? And someone got the USSS texts from the day the GOP tried to overthrow the government yesterday (or that’s when it was announced anyway).

But really the utter contempt that the GOP has for women is on display here, distraction or no. They hate women. They’re coming for abortion, birth control, our ability to work outside the home, to have our own bank accounts, to travel freely… they want the 1800s.

The utter disdain for women and children is on full display here. Yesterday's Post's piece on Graham's legislation included this infuriating nugget: "Asked if his bill had exceptions for cases in which fetal abnormalities appear later in the pregnancy or if the child is stillborn, Graham said he did not know."

He doesn't know? It's his f-ing bill! The cruelty is indeed the point.
