There’s no other kind of Republican voter. |

They’re so very afraid.
Florida attorney general set to ask state Supreme Court to keep abortion protections off the ballot https://apnews.com/article/florida-abortion-election-2024-17540f14ed2880f03a2bb14274b03ed3?utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter |

They collected well over the number of support signatures to put this issue on the ballot. Over a million. |

Show me where Republicans respect the rule of law when doing so will cause them to “lose.” |

Good point. They are not stupid and they know the people of Florida do not want these abortion bans by a significant margin. And they know they are motivated to come out and vote about it. So what can the oppressors do but cheat to try to impose their very unpopular will on the folks on Florida? |

“Send it back to the states”. Ha! They really don’t want people to vote on this. |

They all know. They just pretend not to. It’s just like January 6. The truth conflicts with what they want to be true, so they pretend not to believe it. |

That is a really poor quality coping strategy. You can find a a better pro life candidate than trump if you have to have one, GOP. He actually does not care a bit if someone gets an abortion and just wants to use it to get votes. Find a better leader. |

Because everywhere abortion has been on the ballot, it has driven crazy high turnout and for Democrats. Republicans seem not to care about democracy at any level. |

So just pivot to be pro choice GOP and keep your voters. GOP is completely cynical on "fixiing the border" to get votes so just do the same on abortion. |

They cant. Their most solid voters are staunchly forced birth. If they abandon that, they’re done. |

I remember back in the day when the US was progressive and Canada was the restrictive country. Now it is the opposite.
Up here we have had NO abortion law at all for 30 years and the sky hasn't fallen. It's considered a medical procedure, not your neighbor's business. Our parliament couldn't agree on a law so just gave up. We don't have a pile of late term abortions for convenience or whatever the scare stories are. Doctors here would only terminate later for non viability or the mother's health by that stage. Maybe you need to try NO LAW and see how it works just fine. |

Frankly this is the most acceptable option. Birth control and comprehensive sexual education available everywhere, abortion available in the office of every OB/GYN who wants to perform them and certainly available in every hospital for the later and more serious procedures that are used rarely but need to be available. |

That won't work in the US. In Canada, you don't have a radical movement taking over one of your national parties and forcing the issue. In this case, the MAGA element of the GOP has decided that with the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade (essentially sending us back to "NO LAW") that it is the time to double-down and create and enforce laws that make it illegal for women to make their own medical decisions for their own personal health. They have become so draconian that not only do they ban women from making those medical decisions, they are also prosecuting medical practitioners that make such decisions. It has become dangerous for doctors to decide that there is a medical reason for an abortion that would protect the life, health or fertility of the mother or to decide that a child with a horrific birth defect would suffer greatly from coming to term and being born and forcing such situations to birth. Doctors are now in danger of medical malpractice, legal lawsuits, and loss of license to practice should they express their medical opinion. Many women are told that the medical recommendation is one thing, but that legally they are not allowed to actually take that medical action because it has not met the overstrict state guidelines for when such actions can take place, even though medically, it is recommended. The Canadian situation is what we had for nearly 50 years under Roe v Wade, but once the SCOTUS overturned that, it reverted American obstetrics to the 1920s where women were dying in childbirth because of a lack of medical knowledge. Now we have medical knowledge dictated by lawyers who have never seen the inside of a hospital since they were born. |
