[b]And more appalling that these were judges appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote[/b]. [/quote]

We are no longer a functional representative democracy.

We were never a functional representative democracy. Since the founding of this country, we've been ruled by a wealthy minority -- a minority that tells us to what to think, what to say, what to do, what to eat, where to work, etc.[/quote]

That happens by consent.  When the consent is no longer there, then things change.  This country has changed a lot since its founding.  Those of us who didn't sleep through school, or through any stories from family members or friends, know this.  [/quote]

What people understand and were willing to believe has changed a lot.

So far one thing I know to be true, the GOP doesn’t care about America or the women who live here. If they did:

I don’t think they will change the filibuster but maybe Collins, Murkowski, and the Ds can whip up 60 votes to protect women? [/quote]

Susan "but he promised me he'd uphold Roe" Collins???? LOLOLOL. [/quote]

Time for her and others to step up to protect women.

[b]The overwhelming majority of abortions are performed early in pregnancy. Why not pass a bill preserving access to abortions before 16 weeks (that is almost all of them).[/b][/quote]

I will never forget what made Ireland of all places change their stance. A 17 week pregnancy (that was wanted) went wrong, I can't remember why but they couldn't give her an abortion due to Ireland's laws. The woman died and Ireland took a second look and changed their laws. There are many more reasons to keep abortion in place than just choice itself.[/quote]

This, and they don't always find out about fatal birth defects until the 20 week ultrasound. That's why the 24 weeks made sense even though only a tiny amount of abortions would happen at that time. I heard this lunatic Oklahoma legislator (female) speaking today about their trigger law that will ban all abortions, even for rape and incest. [/quote]

Oh I heard that woman on BBC.  I was IRATE because she was so precious about how in Oklahoma we don't murder anyone and while rape is tragic, murder is still wrong.  Oklahoma is one of the worst states in the nation for the death penalty - it has the highest executions per capita of any state in the country.  Guess only some murder's are wrong.[/quote]
