Can I make you think about specifically which times in the last fifty years that the House had a liberal Democratic majority with enough votes to pass something like this, while simultaneously also having a 60-vote filibuster-proof majority to pass it on the Senate side, with a conference committee in agreement? Fill me in.

Be prepared to pay for child support for 18 years.

Plus more wives will die, if they have medical problems in childbirth. It's like they don't care or don't think it will happen to them.

This will only affect poor women, especially those of color.

This is what the conservatives want right?

More people on welfare! Hooray!

No, what conservatives want is more dead Black women.

You're in the minority full stop.

The vast majority of Americans do not believe the government should be making health care decisions for you.

Like I said, I know I'm in the minority on DCUM. And abortion is not a "health care decision," in the vast majority of cases.

Choosing not to give birth, which is statistically more dangerous than having an abortion, is a “health care decision” in every effing case.

Then don't get yourself pregnant. Problem solved.

Nobody gets themselves pregnant.

Clumsily worded but point remains. If you have such a health care issue with giving birth, then see to it that you don't get pregnant.

I would not wish it on anybody but when you get raped and impregnated, you will not be so pithy.

Has crime become so out of control women are nearly guaranteed to be raped now?

No it has not. But many rapes happen. And often the victim knows their rapist.

The planet that elected Trump and all that he begot.

Exactly! Sorry guys, I’m a liberal dem. Used to be deeply involved in abortion rights. But I’m just sick of it. Y’all didn’t make it happen for Hillary. So this is what happens. Wake the F up. Even if you did vote for Hillary…if you’re white…I Fing guarantee you that you have family that voted for Trump. Get your house in order or STFU.

Yeah this is kind of where I’m at too.

WTF. I am a White woman (surburban! SAHM, too!) and I have NEVER voted for a fascist gooper in my life. You think I can control how my father and uncles voted? After about twelve of us ganged up on them, we got some to abstain from voting; I consider that a win.

+1 My former GOP convention attending delegate dad wrote in Paul Ryan in 2016 and I considered that a victory.

You guys who actually stopped horrifying men from voting for Trump are getting all offended. You did the right thing - good on you!

It was the “get your house in order or STFU” that’s offensive. You think we don’t try? You think it’s actually in our control? There’s a limit to what we can do; 70+ years of propaganda is hard to fix.

That said, f the GOP and anyone who votes for them.

OK, I’m sorry - look I am pissed too (as much as I say I’m over it). But I assure you, most white women aren’t doing nearly enough to try to change hearts and minds in their own families. THink about it - if you can’t convince those people to respect you…that’s pretty bad…

Tell us what you did to change your family's opinion about a serious political issue. And why aren't you just as scathing on white men for doing enough to change the hearts and minds in their own families?

I literally talked to my parents for 10 consecutive years (age 13-23) to turn them from republicans into democrats. It’s a long game, but it worked. I talked about women’s rights and rights of other minorities. I mean, it did help me that the GOP became just true monsters during that time (started w/ pointless invasion of Iraq).

I would say the same to liberal white men. They are much rarer. That’s the issue. And honestly, statistically we know that each group really has to sort of fight for its own rights. It shouldn’t be this way, but in reality it is.

You’re not hearing about abortion-related deaths in Texas because women have been flooding to Oklahoma for abortions. Except now Oklahoma is going to bam abortion, so things will get much uglier.

I mean really. If you think women in Texas are fine with their abortion law, it’s only because you’ve gone out of your way to avoid hearing anything about what’s going on on Texas right now.

Hi, welcome to the political forum, maybe learn about the filibuster.

Has there never been a time when D’s could have passed a law? That can’t be true.

Basically you don't care about things that don't affect you. Got it.

I have never believed in violence but this has changed my mind.

Let's galvanize it to happen on Election Day, not another demonstration that isn't going to change anything.

I don’t know how you can be so confident. I’ve thought this so many times over the last 5 years and it never proves to be true.

I bet they will win more seats. Republicans strip voting rights from black. Dems do nothing, republicans with more seats. Republicans outlaw abortion. Dems do nothing, republicans most likely win more seats. The funny thing is republicans win more seats with less and less percentage of the vote…and dems do nothing. This is a failure of the dems all those old men and women in the senate and house. They will say oh we can not do anything because we only have 50 votes. Oh the moderates! If they had 75 vote they would say they need more senators before they can do anything. Meanwhile the republicans continue to get results by whatever means. Does not look good for the country. I am sick and tired of the right wing always setting the terms of what can and can not get done.

To a majority of Americans who support access to abortion, that's who.

You think all those people will be outraged? I support legal abortion early prior to certain developments in the nervous system. Despite my belief that early abortions should be legal, I won't be outraged if Roe is overturned

Well if you are male, don't be outraged if you don't get any more sex from females. And if you are female, stand up for your

In a lot of polls on abortion women and men express similar opinions - or women are slightly more anti-abortion.

Oh do go ahead and share those “lots of polls” in which women are “more anti-abortion” than men. TIA!
