[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sometimes read the comments sections of Foxnews articles just to see what the other side has to say. I have done this for years.

It's utterly fascinating to read the recent comments section on the couple Fox News articles about cases like these. Republicans saying they will not vote Republican because of their party's extreme stance on abortion. Republicans saying they should give up on abortion as an issue as it's costing them elections. I've NEVER seen the comment section lean this way.

Republicans are in trouble.[/quote]

Yes, the Republicans are in definite trouble.

The population growth in Texas is about 80% growth in the urban areas which are highly Democratic.  The majority of the influx into Texas is in the urban areas.  Many Californians who are relocating for work are going to Austin, San Antonio and Houston.  Also Galveston, Dallas/Ft Worth are experiencing shifting workers from blue parts of the country.  Trump won Texas by 600K in 2020 (5.8M vs 5.2M).  The population of Texas increased by 500K just in 2022-2023 and 400K of that increase was in the urban areas.

Additionally, in every state where there has been an election tied to the abortion issue, the Democrats have soundly won.  [b]The nation is rough 60% pro-choice vs 40% pro-life. [/b] This is why Kansas and Ohio both won state constitutional amendments preserving abortion rights.  This is why Andy Beshear won soundly in Kentucky as a Democratic governor in a very Republican state and why the Virginia state congress converted to both houses with a small Democratic majority.  In every state where abortion rights was a key issue, the Democrats have won.  Texas will be facing this issue in 2024 and all of the national attention on abortion rights on top of the shifting demographics means that any GOP candidate who is tied to the recent abortion legislation will lose several points on reelection.  Those from the more rural areas that tend to be highly conservative will probably not lose enough support to lose the elections, but the Republicans in the suburban areas are going to be having a hard time with reelection as the suburbs have always been kind of purple and there are going to be those who lose enough of their support to lose reelection.

I think that this whole thing is going to blow up in the GOP's face in Texas.[/quote]

And even most of the pro-lifers agree with exceptions and are horrified by what Ms. Cox has endured.[/quote]
Yet enough of them have voted for this for decades that here we are. It’s not like what is happening to Ms. Cox and to all the other nameless women who have suffered through this and those who have died and the bumper crop of unwanted children is exactly a big leap from voting forced birther for years. What did they think was going to happen? Did they honestly believe that the architects of the forced birther movement would… care about women? Did they believe the line that this was about “life”? Even when their party leaders consistently demonstrated a total lack of care about any of those lives once born?

All of y’all - and we know some of you who have voted forced birther like good Chrischyins (because Jesus was famously on the side of the powerful) - ought to sit in shame and the real fear of God when you are spreading this kind of misery to women on purpose. There’s a reason that the same strain of Christianity that made explanations for enslaving people hates women this much too. [/quote]
