I get that Dems are weak on messaging, and feel fundamentally their inability to be in complete lockstep is a reflection of their more open and diverse party as a whole…but I don’t get people flaying them for not passing laws when they have Sinema/Manchin hindering their ability to even get 50 senate votes in a filibuster world where the senate can block essentially anything getting done. 
 

It suits the Rs who can just bang their obstructionist drums all day and crow about high gas prices.

    No. Fuck off with that. Not every abortion is about trauma and tragedy and using that framing plays into the christofascist’s hands. Women are humans. Humans have bodily autonomy. Ergo, women have b

    I do love this argument. I really do. It’s as convenient a way to label yourself a drooling moron as exists, outside of towing around a giant neon “I’M A MORON” sign. No, they didn’t teach us that

How else do you think “common good” constitutional government will come to fruition. The new right has contempt for what y’all want - majoritarian rule

Yeah, we gathered that. I hope you get your Mussolini, and what came next for him and his supporters:

Hell, at least Icono is honest (about the GOP's plan to sabotage Congress and empower the courts as unaccountable tribunals to enact conservative policies, not about who he is).

Icono is a fucking idiot, Texans homer and Cougar High fan. I’m none of the those things.

That end result required an Allied invasion of Italy. Are you saying that it will take a military occupation to turn the tide? A neo-Reconstruction.

Too bad there aren’t neat and tidy sides to join and fight for. Lots of purple and and blue in red states. It would be more like the Lebanese civil war if it ever came it it here. Complete destruction and neighbors fighting neighbors.

The anti-choice movement got what it wanted via a decades long campaign of terrorism. Maybe it'll work for pro-choice activists too.

I am very, very thankful I live in NYC. New York state has enshrined my bodily autonomy into state law.  I am happy to host women who need to come to New York for an abortion.  

Fuck SCOTUS, and fuck anyone who supports this ruling.  Living, breathing American women now have less rights in this country than guns and fetuses.  

Oh, and fuck Susan Collins and Joe Manchin.  

Romania banned abortion is the early 80s and within a decade didn’t exist. We’re well on the way. Glad we own land and a home in another nation.

For those celebrating on this site, all women in the United States are now less free than they were this morning.  Let that fucking sink in.  That is fucking insane.  Not that those that cheer this on this site give a rats ass since they generally hate women.

So with moment of fertilization being the trigger, how does this affect IFV and contraception in Texas?

  • can frozen embryos no longer be destroyed? Stored in perpetuity?
  • aren't there contraptions that create an unhabitable environment for a just fertilized egg?

You may be missing the point on this one. That is exactly what they're cheering about. They're coming for gays and queers next. Anything that results in straight, white, Christian males to hold on to power is the goal.

They’re gone. May take a minute to formalize it, but they’re gone. The pill will absolutely be banned.

Jesus Fucking Christ. Some dumb cunt being interviewed on NBC just referred to an unborn fetus as a “living, breathing human being.” THEY’RE NOT BREATHING!!! This is the problem. Weaponized ignorance is a plague on our society. 


They’re gone. May take a minute to formalize it, but they’re gone. The pill will absolutely be banned.

Haven’t read it yet, but how does a law that bans abortion at the moment of fertilization mean that contraception will be prohibited? Or are you just assuming there will be additional laws for that? As much as I hate all of this, I still don’t think anyone will directly outlaw contraception (at least not intentionally).

Bet you also didn’t think they’d actually make abortion illegal.

There's over a million-and-a-half college students in Texas, not to mention the millions of high school kids and 20-somethings on either side of college.  Banning the pill, condoms, etc., is a fantastic way to get them out to the polls for Democrats in November.

Republicans doing very public victory laps is going to energize a lot of folks, and a lot of women in Texas.

A part of me hopes they try and ban contraception, because that alone would get a shitload of women out to the polls.

So are you just ignoring Thomas specifically stating in writing that he thought the case that allows that, the case against same sex relationships, and the case against same sex marriage be the next things revisited?

Most contraceptives work by stopping ovulation or fertilization.  Even Plan B.

Don't want to hear a word about welfare from people against abortion. Gonna be more poor single women needing help.

Crime will go up in 15-20 years as more unwanted children are being born.

Thank you.  Abortion is a great way to get Republicans out to vote, but there is a very fine line between motivating the GOP to get out to vote, and motivating the Democrats to get out and vote and potentially get moderates in the GOP as well as independents to vote for the the Dems.

Republicans got a victory, but they could very well lose when all is said and done.  And there's enough dumbass Republicans who will try to do things like ban contraception, keep up the victory laps, etc. who could very well tip several states to the Dems.

Exactly. The smart play is to do nothing, let them ban contraception, and then win in the midterms!

if their belief is that abortion is murder, then it would be wrong for them to sanction murder to relieve them of their personal responsibility.

Good fucking gotdamn.

You “tHeyLL nEVeR BaN coNTrAcEptioN” men are EXACTLY why we are where we are why Democrats are too scared to actually fight and do something.

Because when we TELL you what’s coming - you call us out as hysterical, overreacting, and emotional.

And the Democrats are catering TO YOU because they’re afraid too lose your vote by “going too far”.

JUST SHUT UP AND FOLLOW OUR LEAD AND FUCKING LISTEN TO US.

We’ve been telling you. And we’re telling you again where this is heading AND YOURE STILL TELLING US “no wai”.

God.
