[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Abortion is a dog whistle[/b] that the left and right wings use to enrage and scare their bases. And voters keep falling for that same trap over and over again. This is what you have extreme politics that don’t work on both sides of the aisle. [/quote]

I'm 110% pro-choice (and have been pregnant several times), but that PP does have a point.  Democrats, when in the majority, could have codified Roe.  Obama said he was going to codify Roe, but then when elected turned to the Affordable Care Act instead.

So Dems went back to using the fear of overturning it to fund-raise for decades.  And will continue to dine out on it.

Realistically, the Dems haven't had a chance to codify roe since the late 1970's and yes, they should have done it then. At the same time, the GOP should not have been working to undermine Roe, and it isn't a "right" that should even need to be codified. That said, here we are, and it is a top/hotbutton issue for most women and most under 30 voters.[/quote]

Yep Dems failed over and over again.

However Repukes are god dammed shits. Women are not only going to die, they will not be able to divorce, DV is going to skyrocket, they will their jobs to family men and property.  If you think the RW is stopping at abortion you are brain dead. They are shits coming for it all and they will win as of now.

Republcian women are literally stupid. [/quote]

That isn't "dems failing"

Roe was law of the land. There wasn't anything needed, because it was the law. It wasn't until the Evangelicals took root in the Newt Gingrich era when the Hyde Amendment was passed and abortion rights were slowly chipped away over the 1990's and 2000's. During that period, the Dems didn't have the votes to "codify" it and as another noted, Obama had to pass the ACA to make good on a core campaign promise.[/quote]
