Big Pharma is going to get a big win here.

“ House Republicans Endorse National Abortion Ban
After Trump said he could support a 15-week national abortion ban, a caucus that includes most House Republicans has endorsed the idea”
National ban? WTAF?
Not for the first time in this thread, the Dobbs decision did not “send it back to the states.” It left decisions on this issue up to “the people and their representatives” which leaves the barn door wide open for a national ban.

The Republican Study Committee (RSC), which includes nearly 80 percent of all House Republicans, released its 2025 budget proposal on Wednesday, titled “Fiscal Sanity to Save America.” Despite being billed as a budget plan, it is a highly ideological document.
“The gift of life is precious and should be protected,” the document states, adding that the “RSC celebrates the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision.” In that case, the Supreme Court overturned federal protections for abortion rights, using the 6-3 conservative supermajority that Trump helped create.

I’m sorry, I don’t do podcasts, but that sounds like a fascinating story.
If White women in Alabama and across the country would use even the faintest application of empathy, they’d vote far and away for Democrats. Obligatory “not all White women” - yes, I am a Democratic voting White woman (and a SAHM, too) - but it’s true. So many of these women availed themselves of safe, legal abortion and are now happy to slap other women in the face. It’s disgusting.
