This is incorrect. Conservatives are pretty good at governing. The problem is when loons drive out actual conservatives. There aren't that many actual conservatives left around. |
If Republicans truly believe that life begins at the instant of conception, how can they also argue that a child conceived via rape is worth less than a child conceived via consensual sex (which they are now doing apparently)? |
“Conservatives” want to destroy government except when it serves the goal of owning the libs. They have sucked at governing since Reagan. Cutting taxes to cut government programs — but not the military — and endless wars isn’t “good at governing.” |
There are 50 states, many of them have local or state governments that are governed by conservatives. The world is larger than Congress. FYI, owning the libs is a loon goal, not a conservative one. |
He is trying to pull identifying data from the reports. |
+1 Conservatives at all levels are crap at governing. |
I’m not saying what he’s doing is right, but a PP said “so anyone who terminated would be public knowledge?” And no, that is not true. He’s saying no abortion on a 10 year old patient was reported. Demographic info like age is required to report just like it is in all but a handful of states. So either it never happened, or the doctor failed to report it. |
They don’t feel limited by facts or reason. They will make up whatever random laws they want to penalize whom ever they want. Just because they feel like it. No rational arguments. No informed opinions. Ignorant, irrational tyranny. |
True, but logically Republicans have now been forced to concede that either: 1. Life *doesn’t* actually begin at the instant of conception. Or… 2. 10-year olds should be required to carry their rapist’s child to term. So which is it? I think sensible pro-choice folks took notice of these vexing issues a long time ago and voted to keep abortion legal for situations like this. Republicans, on the other hand, wanted to force a very narrow morality on all of us and are now back-pedaling furiously from the consequences. |

“TPRs.” Lord, the horrifying combination of Office Space and The Handmaid’s Tale in which we now live. |
Sadly, there is no party of actual conservatives anymore. The GOP IS the loon party. |
Actually, what he said is that so far no records of a report have been produced. His letter also acknowledges that the new system is slower to review, and never says the records have been reviewed exhaustively. The agency had only acknowledged the request the day before Rokita sent his letter, and he didn’t want to wait for confirmation before sending the letter because if it turned out the doctor had reported it, he wouldn’t be able to make public threats against the doctor. |
Now? Indiana has public abortion reports published on their state website as far back as 2000. This is not new and it’s important data to collect. |
Look I get that you want to put yourself on a pedestal but “loon” and “conservative” are the same thing now. You all voted that way. You’ve voted for every hateful loon no matter how bad they were. We see you. |
"No True Scotsman." |
