[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I’m super excited about all the pro-choice/ enshrining Roe at the state level (even if I am livid that my rights have to be “voted” in when making my own healthcare decisions should absolutely be a constitutional right). But still happy the pendulum is heading in the right direction.

I have a legal question. Since some of these state referendums are related to state constitutions, what happens if the Republicans take the house and senate, get rid of the filibuster and pass a nation-wide abortion ban. Can federal law override a state constitution?

I’m trying to figure out how scared I should remain for women in our country. [/quote]

No way in HELL GOP takes the House. You are wasting your time even thinking about it But, if you are scared, you can complain here on this board or you can actually do SOMETHING to help Dems remain in power. If you can't volunteer, give $$$. The BESY bang for your buck is to give to the state Dem party in a swing state. Your money will be spent on boots-on-the-ground, long-term work. Giving to a Senate campaign basically means TV ads. Give monthly so parties can plan. It's better to give $10 per month rather than a one time chunk of say $150. Best run state parties are Ohio (as we just saw, they crushed it, and this helps Sherrod Brown) and WI (Ben Wickler is an awesome party chair). Next is PA, AZ and maybe FL. [/quote]

Respectfully disagree. The best bang for your buck is donating to Aid Access or other providers actually getting medical treatment to the victims of these laws.

Frankly though they are the only electoral option, the behavior of democrats on this issue is why I won’t be donating to them— they are letting women suffer to secure their political power by not taking the steps available to them.[/quote]
I’d use an eye rolling emoji for your post, but Jeff doesn’t offer one that involves the eyes rolling so hard that they fall out of the little emoji’s eye sockets and scamper away. That’s how much eye roll you get, forced birther troll. [/quote]
