Again: they all said in their hearings, under oath, it was settled law. Settled law. Do you know what that means, sweetie? It means they’re hacks and it means the court is illegitimate. |
According to PP, the mistake was believing Republicans were good people and you could trust them at their word. Guess we’ve learned our lesson there, haven’t we. |
That was several Senates ago. This Senate majority does not support nuking the filibuster. So again, when did Biden “have the chance” to codify Roe v. Wade, which had long been called “settled law” by every sitting member of the Supreme Court? Which nine or ten Republican Senators would have supported that? |
Oh, I think most women have realized that the GOP - “it’s settled law!” - isn’t to be trusted. How many people in this thread said they never really believed that the GOP would overturn Roe? |

Who wants to have a baby in a country ruled by a fascist government?
The Christofascists want to take away birth control next. That will be a win-win for them!! |

I’ve seen the video public polls between Biden and Traitor Trump. But this kind of aggressive lying shows that the GOP knows they’ve got a losing issue. Because when you have to lie… |

“While the more than two dozen abortion bans enacted since the fall of Roe v. Wade all include some kind of exception for the mother’s life, the laws use ambiguous language, with many permitting abortions in a “medical emergency” without offering a concrete definition of that term. Prompted by numerous prominent cases in which women became critically ill after being turned away from hospitals, the issue has spawned debate in state legislatures, several high-profile lawsuits and a standoff with Biden administration officials who say the procedure should be covered by emergency care laws.
But behind that public controversy is a little-known struggle between doctors making life-or-death decisions at great personal risk and hospital administrators navigating untested legal terrain, political pressure from antiabortion lawmakers, and fears of lost funding, a Washington Post investigation found. In staff meetings, phone calls and tense, months-long email exchanges, many doctors have repeatedly sought guidance on how to interpret the medical exceptions in their states’ abortion bans, only to be given directives from hospital officials that are as vague as the laws themselves.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/10/28/abortion-bans-medical-exceptions/ |

What will destroy the US:
- abortion battles - borders - income inequality |
Abortion battles will not destroy the US. Abortion bans are destructive and very unpopular and they will go down at at the ballot box. and the us will survive without them as it did for the last 50 years. |
We have borders. In fact, the rate of interdictions and apprehensions is up since Biden took office. Please stop with the "opEn BoRdERs" nonsense. Yes, there are issues, but the require a legislative solution, one the GOP has been steadfast in opposing for more than a decade. And the GOP economics exacerbate income inequality. They don't want to address it, they want to make it even more extreme. |
They pollute the entire women's health care system where they exist and perversely can serve to depress the birth rate. They are a bad idea and policy, championed by people that seem clueless about human reproduction. |
They’re all related. The GOP has been hell-bent on bringing back the Gilded Age for a long time. You start by having a mass of desperate people who will work for pennies in nearly any conditions. As good a game as the GOP talks on the border, they want the bodies. Preferably without papers, as they are easier to exploit and you don’t have to provide them any social services. But desperate native born workers are good too, and nothing like a desperate woman to keep your desperate male base sexually satisfied and feeling like he has some control over his miserable, small life. If the GOP actually wanted to control immigration, they’d mandate eVerify and apply some of those draconian anti-abortion penalties to people hiring illegal immigrants. But they don’t do that, do they? No, because they want the cheap, desperate labor. It’s all related. |
+1 Again that people seem happy to remain ignorant about what the GOP actually does and why they’re doing it. They want a permanent poor underclass; they did not like the middle class and don’t care if they live or die. |
