Time to play the game correctly, Dems: start messaging that they only support this kind of abhorrent language regarding rape because minorities are 10% more likely to be victims of it.
Oh, and GROW. SOME. BALLS.
Sheās a strong GOTP woman! Doing what she is told. I think she needs a visit from Trans Vaginal Ultrasound.
just wow! smdh
Iām sure the bruises will not be visible in a few weeks.
Does Obamacare cover whiplash?
Her position? Bent over Pro-Life Inc.'s checkbook.
So did they insert a codicil that Rep. Ellmers was not to be included in this law?
another bill that will get vetoed, wasting more time, that could be spent on legislation that might actually help their constituents. oh, right, their constituents are idiots.
You dance with them what brung you honey and donāt you be thinking ābout leaving the dance floor early. You aināt finished dancinā and you aināt callinā the tune.
So glad that Congress isnāt wasting its time dealing with economic, environmental, or other pressing social issues.
I originally meant that sardonically, but Iām thinking now that I actually mean that. Iām not sure I want these dunderheads concerning themselves with actual substantive issues.
Shorter GOTP: So you claim you were raped but know you donāt have the evidence to prove it? You better tell the police anyway if you hope to get an abortion! Did I mention that we know how to manage your life much better than you do?
Rep. Ellmerās political survival instincts would appear to be stronger than her belief that women are entitled to make their own moral decisions.
Looks like Ellmars has a problem thinking for herself. As if she wants to do the right thing but right is wrong in the republican party.
Apparently the knuckledraggers dropped the whole thing.
Eventually, the Republicans are going to pass a bill requiring pregnant women to be physically restrained until they give birth. Itās the only way to eliminate those pesky abortions, and itās what the Founding Fathers wanted. You can look it up!
What else would you expect from a puppet whose strings are pulled by the Koch Brothers?
āā¦require rape victims to report having been sexually assaulted to authoritiesā¦ā
The authorities.
Conservatives call them ābig governmentā.
ājack-booted thugsā if they work for ATF
āTo clear up any misinformation, I will be voting tomorrow to support H.R. 36ā
Oh no you wonāt. The GOP canceled tomorrowās vote on this dog turd. You flip-flopped once too often.
(To be fair, maybe she reads TPM and didnāt get the news. This place seems to close up shop after about 5PM. Cāmon Josh! All those subscriptions, all those hires! Canāt you afford to update this website? The last item on āLiveWireā was 4 freakinā hours ago!)
Well, I guess those two Republican women did another switch-a-ma-roo. They pulled their support a second time it seems even after requesting their names get pulled from the bill and then agreeing to support it. Its being reported that the symbolic go-nowhere effort that the GOP has been pushing for this bill has GOP women apparently in revolt.
The bill will be pulled from any vote tomorrow. That whole ālegitimate rapeā shit they added to the bill, where women would be forced to report their rape to law enforcement before being legally allowed to have an abortion apparently went to far, even for these rightwing GOP women.
