Yep, Trump sure did grab them by their pussies, and now the Republicans are faced with the consequences of a lot of very pissed off women who didn't want their pussies grabbed.
always fun seeing just how sincere their deeply held convictions are when they learn said convictions are electoral poison. none of them should get away with this or be allowed to flip-flop in the slightest.
I'm that it's not a coincidence that the time idealized by "originalists" is a time when white men* had all the power. It's right there in the name, and, well, everything they do or say.
*"straight" is assumed but not mentioned. If you mention it, they start to get ideas.
LOL, nice, is THAT what that car is supposed to be? I was thinking it was the illegitimate love child of a mid-80s VW Rabbit and an early 90s Volvo sedan
Wow, a much more practical option than the typical "load them all up and rocket them into the Sun" approach! I intend to shamelessly steal this idea! May I compensate you with a hearty, virtual handshake and "GOOD SHOW!" in lieu of actual compensation?
I saw that ding dong Peter Baker on the teevee this morning talking about how abortion won't be that much of an issue in the swing states like Pennsylvania and Michigan because it's not on the ballot like in Arizona or Florida, and I was all BITCH, the very sight of ANY Republican is enough to remind us of abortion. Republicans OWN that shit now.
And in Michigan, our very own Gov. Whitmer will happily remind voters that abortion is still on the line, just in case the average (non Wonkette reading) voter gets distracted by anything else.
"Price of eggs up? If a national abortion ban gets passed, you'll be forced to buy even more eggs for your kids...." type casual reminders.
That's honestly a great way to remind people — slotting how expensive kids are into any discussion of the economy or cost of living.
"That kid Republicans are forcing you to have? I hope you have an extra $250k lying around to cover the cost of raising it! And don't think for a second that those same Republicans have any plan to help you afford that kid you didn't want – in fact, they want to make it even harder and more expensive than it already is!"
Since no one cared to define "saving the life of the mother" in any of these laws, bills, palaver, or drunken slurrings, all of the laws restricting abortion are insufficiently narrow or specific to be enforced, all abortion restrictors and forced birthers lose and have to go home and study very hard and get into med school and then flunk out at the first bedpan or 8 am class whichever comes first; all abortions are moral abortions available for everyone who needs one, where need is defined as "being in a position where an abortion is the pregnant person's identified and articulated desired end to their pregnancy." All problems solved, good day.
I've been tussling with various clowns in other fora whose image of an early-term fetus appears to be the same as a beautiful little pink (of course) newborn infant.
An early-term fetus legit looks like an alien and pea-sized one at that. It always kills me when forced birthers hold up signs saying a fetus has a heartbeat at 6 weeks or some such nonsense with a picture of an (white) infant.
And the heartbeat lie, you need valves to have a heartbeat.
"Rather, at six weeks of pregnancy, an ultrasound can detect "a little flutter in the area that will become the future heart of the baby," said Dr. Saima Aftab, medical director of the Fetal Care Center at Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami. This flutter happens because the group of cells that will become the future "pacemaker" of the heart gain the capacity to fire electrical signals, she said."But the heart is far from fully formed at this stage, and the "beat" isn't audible; if doctors put a stethoscope up to a woman's belly this early on in her pregnancy, they would not hear a heartbeat.
There is a heartbeat at about 7 weeks, which looks like a single pixel on the ultrasound flickering rapidly on and off. The "baby" at that point is far, far from any state that we'd recognize as human, but if the child-to-be is wanted, it's very reassuring to see.
The problem with these folks is that the rights of the mother mean nothing to them. The b**** probably deserved it because she had sex, and we know women who have sex, especially out of marriage, are sluts who give up any and all rights. /bitter sarc
Point of order.
How can there be a state law that was ‘written’ before Arizona was even a state?
‘Tis a puzzlement.

How's that whole "traditional family values" thing working for you MAGAhats?

I wasn't fooled by the AI abortion, though I'm sure that the "dog" might have some chupacabra in it.
Is that a tail or a boner sticking out of the thigh of the tripod giraffe-dog?
They can keep trying to sweep it under the rug to their peril. Pretending like it never happened is not going to happen.

Wow a picture of the rare Giant Miniature Giraffe Dog!
And it caught an Opel Kadett sedan!

So many forgettable cars in the 70s and 80s.
Fuuuuuuuck.... We need to load all of these idiots up on a cruise ship, sail to the middle of the ocean, drop anchor and bail.
You forgot the torpedo.
Shhhhh!
I figure we just leave them marooned and drain all the fuel. It'll be like living on their own private little hate island.

Compensation accepted. 😀👍
We need to hang this like an anchor around PAB's neck until he drowns, in votes.
pab is so pathetic tossing a word salad of whatever he thinks will make him look moderate to some but not to others what a sad pos
Yet it fools The NYT every time.
"I wonder if people will know this one’s AI? (Image by Substack AI)"
Or, and hear me out, Dok, has Substack cut a deal with Alpha Centauri for cheap access to all their stock photos, and AI is just a cover???
We are through the looking glass here people!
OT: Trina Robbins died yesterday. She was a comic book artist and writer and damn good at it.

Gov Whitmer is one of our best surrogates for the campaign. Love her.

They're ... you know ... morons.
Here share what they actually look like and size.
