[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A vote for Hogan means

NATIONAL ABORTION BAN
NATIONAL CONTRACEPTIVE BAN
NATIONAL WOMEN'S INTERSTATE TRAVEL BAN
NATIONAL RELIGION IN SCHOOLS
AND MOST OF ALL NATIONAL INSTALLMENT OF PROJECT 2025.

Why did I do all caps, because clearly people are still idiots and can not understand how bad voting for Hogan will be for the state of MD and the country.

If you are an American you will never vote for one Republican again.

Between Project 2025, and the fact they don't want Americans voting which is the core reason we are the United States of America no American would vote for a Republican ever again.

There are no two sides here either you love America ie vote Democrat or you love Russia vote Republican. Full stop no discussion, why because the god dammed treasonous snakes wrote it all down. [/quote]

Who is proposing banning contraception?  [/quote]
Read this thread and the links in it. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1178761.page[/quote]

Voting against a strawman bill to nationalize contraception laws is the same as a nationwide ban now?  [/quote]

You're using the word "strawman" wrong. It was an actual bill to codify an existing federal right to contraception. The Republicans voted against it.[/quote]

No, you’re just dumb. The bill was a strawman. It’s trying to suggest there’s a problem (“right wingers” proposing to ban birth control) that doesn’t exist. [/quote]
You didn’t read the whole thread and all the links in it.[/quote]

There's no evidence provided in that thread that Republicans want to "ban" contraception nationally.   [/quote]

Because that's the real issue! What someone said on DCUM! Not the threat that people will lose their right to contraception.[/quote]

Also can we talk about the case currently in front of the Supreme Court where states can ban hospitals from.providing abortion care even when it is necessary to save the life of the woman?  How is that not terrifying enough for people already?[/quote]
And what does that have to do with either a Democrat or Republican serving the state of Maryland in the Senate?

There is already a 6-3 Republican majority and the Democrats did that. If they want to preserve those 3 seats, instead of scare mongering about Hogan why not address the elephant in the room? There is another Democratic appointee on the court who is desperately ill but refuses to step down when a Democrat is President and there is a Democratic majority in the Senate.

And how about also addressing the other elephant in the room? Democrats massive spending in the ARP has contributed to the out of control inflation that’s putting a Democratic Senate majority and Biden’s reelection at risk.

But somehow voting for an obviously lightweight Democrat for Senate over a proven leader for the state is what we should focus on? Sorry, that’s a bait and switch that I could care less for.

I’m voting for the best candidate for Maryland. [/quote]

A federal law guaranteeing the right to abortion would override state prohibitions. Likewise a federal law banning abortion (which republican candidates have promised) would put states like Maryland in the same position as Idaho [/quote]
First question, Obama promised to introduce a bill to legalize Roe as the first thing he was going to do when taking office. He did not. There was full Democratic control of the White House and both chambers of Congress?

Second question, why hasn’t a bill been introduced in the current Democratic controlled Senate and reported out of committee at least so that it would have a procedural vote on cloture that would do the same?

The reality is that you want to blame a future Hogan Senator for theoretical and hypothetical outcomes while not bothering to ask a single question of Democrats about why they haven’t used the powers they have been given in the past and currently to advance abortion rights.

The answer is that Democrats don’t want to and it’s not fair to blame a future Senator Hogan for the failures of Democrats past and present. Furthermore, Republicans have zero interest in banning abortion nationwide legislatively because they don’t need to with the courts.

And getting to the courts, that’s already done and dusted. Democrats lost that battle. Hogan is obviously not responsible for the 6-3.

[/quote]

So the answer is to keep voting myopically until the Supreme Court has 9 conservatives and 0 liberals?[/quote]
