For those who think that this threat is non-existent, here’s what could EASILY go down: Blanche’s DOJ could sue each abortion-allowing state for violating the Equal-Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment by saying that the state-level homicide bans have to apply to abortions in order to ensure “equal protection” for embryos.
Want to get an antichoicer to come face to face with the fact that they don't actually give a shit about the baaaaayyyyyybeeeeees?
Ask them how much effort they put into raising money and awareness for research into the causes of miscarriage.
They're fine with it when an early end to a pregnancy is just something that happens TO women. It's when it happens BY women that they lose their shit.
Because what they really oppose is women having agency.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
How about the Ninth and its "unenumerated rights" that the people still hold? No candidate for the Supreme Court should be approved without stating what these rights are. Since Ben Franklin could publish recipes for abortion medications without getting arrested, it's possible that first-trimester chemically induced abortions are one of them.
Sure, but probably 80% of voters are more concerned about remembering their local pro sports teams player statistics than their rights given by the Constitution.
Think of this. Insurance companies sell comedy. Sign up with us because we have "Flow" or a lizard or we make a joke of our own name.
Now think again. When you need insurance, your house being burnt. A car accident that crippled your children or a life insurance that wont pay. Would trust an Emu that wears sunglasses or a lawyer that wears a tie?
Ta, Robyn. ... if they are going to "protect life," they're going to make sure that women in that state are forced to give birth, whether it KILLS THEM or not. TX has already proved this.
Once more, for the insufferable god-botherers: NOWHERE in their holy book does it say women should not have abortions, nor does it say that the pre-born are ALIVE. And the biggest abortionist of all isn't Planned Parenthood or telemedicine docs who prescribe abortion drugs. IT'S GOD!!!!!!!! Somewhere between 37% and 50% of ALL first trimester pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion a/k/a miscarriage. It's impossible to pin down a percentage because so many of them happen before a woman (or girl) knows she's pregnant.
White Death a/k/a Todt Blanche, needs to be disbarred, sooner rather than later.
All it is about is controlling women, seizing the means of reproduction. Make no mistake, it is a form of chattel slavery. Losing your autonomy and economic determination SUCKED. I MOVED. GD MFers
Zyx--it used to really bother me that the medical/God argument (See above, ...And the biggest...knows she's pregnant.) doesn't work better on these folks.
But then I realized that they don't believe in medicine, and their God is not a God who follows the laws of physics, and biology. Their God is a fairy godmother from a particularly one dimensional and unimaginative fairy tale. So God can do anything, and humans [other than them] can only sin.
Don't waste logic on a bear running towards you, and don't waste logic on a pro-lifer who believes in that kind of God. It's an exercise in futility.
We need to get all of our people out to vote, and we need to expand our voter base, and banish these morons back to strip mall churches and Chick tracts, where their type of narrative is largely harmless.
The (probably) only thing that will save our bodily autonomy is that this administration is full of stupid inept people who lie. Also if it does happy, all these pure Christian women who need emergency care for ectopic pregnancies and non-viable dangerous pregnancies will start to die. Remember that Christian women from FL who had to go out of state? She blamed it on DEM politics when it was her own state who did not care about the life of the mother. Some women never learn.
Rep. Pete Stauber indicates there's something gravely wrong with Tom Emmer's health: "You have no idea what Congressman Emmer is dealing with right now. If you did, you would've never made that comment. He's fighting for his damn life today!"
Somebody evidently questioned why Emmer wasn't at the presser and Stauber replied with the quote above:
"You have no idea what Congressman Emmer is dealing with right now. If you did, you would've never made that comment. He's fighting for his damn life today!"
Evangelicals always want universal abortion prohibition. And they have always had post-criminalization executions fantasies. To the Right Wing and the Project 2025 people, states rights only means voter suppression and slavery.
I try not to take politics personally - there's always a talking head to disagree with. However, these assaults on women as beings, as sentient living breathing thinking beings, are beginning to drive me a bit batty. The pill was approved in 1960 when I had just started menstruating. Title VII passed the year I entered high school (and the year I got my first job). Roe v Wade was decided in 1972 when I was 24. During the 1970s I moved from pink collar ghetto labor to blue collar union labor under a government injunction forcing my employer to hire women into technical positions. During the next 20 years I earned a Masters and PhD on my employer's dime while working full time. Then I went on to a second white collar career. None of my life would have been possible without the pill, Title VII and Roe.
A young woman like me, from a very poor family, is no longer guaranteed a career path like mine. In about half the country she can't get an abortion. If the GOP gets rid of mifeprisone then birth control pills are right behind. And they are using the assault on LGBTQI+ to continue to eliminate Title VII. This breaks my heart.
I’d like to add the ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) of 1974, which allowed women to open a checking account, credit card account, get a loan, WITHOUT a male co-signer. After it passed, I remember my mother going out to open a credit card account solely on her own.

"We’re going to protect every life from the moment of conception." Makes me gag.

Before or after paying off the Jan 6 insurrectionists
This is just another example of people in the Face Eating Leopard party thinking that for some reason that leopards won't be eating their face.
No one likes Kentucky math rock from the early 90s.

10th Amendment.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Since Ben Franklin could publish recipes for abortion medications without getting arrested, it's possible that first-trimester chemically induced abortions are one of them.
I'm sure the current majority has a list. Starting with, "the right to remain silent."
Sure, but probably 80% of voters are more concerned about remembering their local pro sports teams player statistics than their rights given by the Constitution.
I do so wish you weren't right.

Murkowski has a chance to redeem herself after sealing the passing of the BBB. But being the killjoy that she is, I predict she goes two for two here.

Yep, some women never learned. They keep voting for Combover Caligula and the Pedo Party.

Something wrong with Tom Emmer? Too bad, so sad.
What did Stauber do?

Ah yes. Shortly after it passed, my mother called and hounded me until I obtained my first credit card.
My mother insisted I get my very own once I turned 18.
