  5. Never learn

I am sorry, but it is past time to get outraged over Republican trying to grab every woman by the pussy.

That is in my view restricting abortion is in a very real sense grabbing every woman by the pussy.

I mean to restrict woman’s healthcare to include abortion is putting your hands and taking control of every woman’s womb. Again, it is the Government literally grabbing every woman by the pussy.

That is the only moderate position on woman’s healthcare to include abortion in the 21st century is to say that at all times women have exclusive rights to decide what to do with their own bodies. The extreme position is to say woman do not at all times have the right to exclusively decide what to do with their own bodies.

Finally, we should respond with anger and righteous indignation to anyone who discusses abortion at birth. This is not a thing and to suggest that is to say that women are evil creatures that cannot be trusted to decide what to do with their own bodies and that males in charge of Government need to grab pregnant women by the pussy.

Ok attorneys help a brother out. Arizona wasn’t a state in 1864. Their laws on their books all get grandfathered in when they became a state? Or is there another US Constitutional test they must pass? Surely there were laws that didn’t stand due to US law.

Gerrymandering will not matter to the proposed abortion rights amendment.

Kari Lake is back-pedaling as fast as she can from her previous support of the 1864 law. Gerrymandering isn’t going to help her either.

We are currently in the “fuck around” phase. Come November, republican lawmakers and would be lawmaker will become intimately acquainted with the “find out” phase

Life begins at millions of years ago. The living cells of our body are descendants through duplication and recombination of lines of living cells going back to the first life on Earth. As for individual consciousness, neuroscience says it’s impossible before the third trimester, as the individual cells in our brains aren’t interconnected in the necessary way to support it until then. So either way, science makes clear that life DOES NOT begin at conception. Those claiming otherwise are just ignorant.

What kind of gift shall we send to them, for handing their state to Biden in November?

A friendly quibble: the high road is to make campaign hay out of these violations of normality.

This. There are probably hundreds, maybe thousands of Arizonian women (and their families) who will suffer in the months, perhaps years ahead.

Take the house, hold the senate and codify roe v wade as the first act of the new Congress. A gift to the people of Arizona, so their reps can’t dilly dally on implementing the referendum.

Of course they did. If you offered them their druthers on returning to the 1950s or the pre-war state of affairs in the 1860s they would choose the early 1860s every fucking time.

Fetus parts.

ETA: OK, for you squeamish ones, how about instead just a bunch of chopped up baby dolls in a bag full of red died water? No? Sigh…you’re no fun…

He said Democrats are having conversations with Republicans who “purport” to oppose the 1864 abortion ban, but said they’ve been told that Republicans generally “will oppose any effort to advance the bill in any form.”

What do you call a person that says they hate Nazis, but supports everything Nazis do?

Fascinating to watch the bitter entrails of a failed gop go kaplooey in places like AZ, MI and the US House. You can’t miss the stench.

Just keep in mind that relentlessly making the MAGAt KKKult think they’ve won, when they know the rug is going to be ripped out from under it eventually, is part of the process of driving them to violence.

Thinking about it today, I alighted on the idea that what we might see, instead of an attempt on a Dem’s life, is an attempt on a GQP “traitor’s” life. Offing some Dem/liberal serves no real purpose, but if you really want to send the message that the MAGAt KKKult is a power to be reckoned with and brooks no deviations from strict, absolute loyalty and compliance to the point of ultimate self-sacrifice, you rile them all into a frenzy against someone tagged as a betrayer and then hope he catches some lead.

IANAL, but you’re thinking about it too hard.

If you’re a Republican-appointed judge you just make shit up that fits your desired outcome.
