They’re just trying to move the goal post to by turning the whole conversation to rape, incest, and life of mother exceptions. Sadly a lot of pro-choice people are falling for the bait.
Clapping loudly!
And, I think the, “we need a white guy to beat the white guy,” meme is bull pucky. We want change, elect a woman.

Nor do we even consider legislating procedures relating to men’s sexuality. Oh no that is unthinkable.

I’m with Mayor Pete on this one. We are too caught up in made-up debates over where to draw the line, we forgot to ask the real question, who gets to draw the line? Pro choice means women should draw it for themselves!
Id just add that Because we aren’t asking for the right to draw the line, we shouldn’t get sucked into “what would it take” arguments with the forces of denying women their full measure of personhood.

That’s the thing about these fuckers: It’s all well and good playing your ignorant constituents as if you’ll install christian sharia all over the land, until someone calls the bluff.

They got too greedy with Roe v. Wade
Like all Southern Republicans, Tom Cotton really wants to impose a national ban on abortion on the rest of us, but he finds invoking State’s Rights just so irresistible.
About a year and a half ago I read a book about the battle of Franklin, TN, and one of the Confederate Generals who died there, his name was States Rights Gist.
BTW-I think Tom Cotton should also be forced to eat the 27 pound Krakus ham after giving birth to it. He looks kind of scrawny.
I would argue that pro choice means I’m not asking for the right to take away women’s personhood. So I’m reluctant to play this game of making up the most outrageous scenarios when I’d take it away or not.

I am pro-choice, period.
That said, not a real big fan of Alabama to start with, so factor that into my next comment:
Instead of fighting the law in court as anticipated, let the forced-birthers stew in their own pot and see what it gets them, bet a lot of unwelcome and unanticipated results by those writing the laws
I am thinking of this approach as “using their won force against them”, like in karate, when they throw a punch, step out of the way, grad their arm, and use their own energy to throw them to the ground
caveat, I am totally full of shit almost always

Republicans are terrified of Roe being overturned. They need to keep the issue alive in order to rile up the Evangelical rubes but the ferocious electoral backlash that would follow if the SCOTUS actually obliged would blow them out of the water and well they know it. It’s not going to happen. Roberts is far too focused on retaining what little remains of the court’s legitimacy to venture out on a limb that precarious.
Can Cohen just go ahead and leak the Trump abortion receipts so we can finally get the GOP base on board with a woman’s right to choose???

What if life began at the moment of ejaculation and the male was not allowed control of his own body. Bet ya there’d be a whole lotta exceptions baked in.
Now we start to separate the true cultists from the cowards. Those who think the new final solution is within reach and those who are starting to think maybe they’ve gone too far. Too late to rip those Party of Treason patches off, boys. Drink from your holy grail of hate and filth and enjoy.
We must re-establish a culture of life in America that reflects the value of every* life from conception through birth**, life***, and death
* Immigrants and pregnant women excluded
** pre-natal life not valued enough to guarantee quality pre-natal care for mother and fetus
*** value to be set at a level that does not: infringe on corporate decisions about working conditions, pollutants, or product safety; support universal access to heathcare; or suggest that a full-time worker deserves adequate nutrition and shelter.

picked this up off yahoooey!!!
Alabama, the second-worst state, has a median income of just $26,498. The southern state has above-average debt at graduation, uninsured adults, obesity, preventable hospital admissions, poverty, and incarceration.
stopping abortions won’t help either.
Jeffery leprechaun must be in the top 1% of alabameees
And to think pundits mocked John Kerry for saying he was for an issue before he was against it, all in reference to procedural points, not actual lawmaking. The bushies in particular made hay with it.
This is all anyone needs to know.

One problem. The Party demands no exceptions for anyone anywhere.
Why compromise with people who are wrong?
