Wait, not those states rights!
republicans are already promising to ignore the law because they don’t like it
It’s being sold as abortion rights, but the language is pretty broad and supports everyone’s reproductive rights. Yay human rights!
Good.
You do realize not all pro choice folks would choose to do it themselves most of the time right?
Just because I think someone should be able to get gender affirming care doesn’t mean I only want it so I can get 10 gallon bag mommy milkers.
It’s called being able to empathize beyond your own horizons.
unwanted kids aren’t a good thing, but dead mothers who aren’t treated for ectopic pregnancies and other medical emergencies are even worse. there is no “future kid” there aren’t “potential people” deprived of anything. there are living people and that is who votes and who counts. people as a concept in some dude’s head aren’t real.
Came up in a discussion about it yesterday, “The loss of the potential is a shame, but the loss of a reality is worse”. You can argue that fetus is a potential life sure, but to sacrifice an actual in progress life with hopes and dreams is a waste, versus one that currently only knows instinct if anything.
When Kansas and then Ohio thoroughly shoot holes in your platform and you’re the dominant party in those places, maybe you should start re-thinking your platform.
It’s ok, Ohio Republicans have already signaled that they intend to put it on the ballot again to reverse the will of the people.
It won by such a large margin clearly abortion was supported by some Republican voters too. It won’t be reversed.
Greene’s takeaway was literally "we’re losing because we’re not extreme enough on abortion.’
I guess that means Republicans will start proposing that any woman who even thinks of getting an abortion should be thrown in prison and any woman who suffers a miscarriage should be tried for murder.
Then, they’ll wonder why they are losing even worse!
There are already states that have been trying to criminalize miscarriages unless they can be “proven” to not be the result of an abortion.
