I just…I can’t…
What the hell is wrong with these people?
That about all I can muster today.

The rape&incest&life-of-mother exception has always been a chimera. Because then you ask, what committee must judge if this is ‘legitimate’ exception? What hazard do you create for a medical team who makes the ‘wrong’ decision?
Of course the only person truly able to make a judgement is the woman herself, in consultation with any personal or medical advisors she chooses. And that is the one person they exclude from the decision.

Republicans know women are telling the truth and that’s the problem. These right wingnuts believe there is no such thing as rape. That “all women really secretly want it” and since men have dominion over women anyway, they are free to do whatever they want with us, whenever they want. It’s sick, perverse and akin to slavery.

If we Dems don’t show up to vote in droves in 2020 -no matter how impossible Republicans try to make “voting while Dem” -I honestly wouldn’t know where we go at that point.

Let’s get this straight. McDaniel says she supports life. The reality is that she only supports life for embryos and fetuses. Once that fetus becomes a child (ie is born) the Republican model for health care is “Die Already” if you are not rich.

Why are democrats not asked the tough questions?
Because the cowardly media interviews republican politicians 90% of the time.
Since your party has gotten away with gerrymandering and voter suppression for a couple of decades, and you are keeping a traitor in the white house, you might not want democrats to be asked questions - because you are not going to like the answers.

If they put 1/2 the energy re-uniting immigrant children with their parents, they might actually be doing something that has their god’s blessing.

same with hitler and his houses for women who were partnered with soldiers to produce strong aryan offspring. I always thought that it was a bit of allied propaganda until I read two different accounts from GI’s who came across these houses while fighting their way through the country.

I think it’s important for us to understand what is going on here. The Republicans are freaked out that this Alabama Law will be a political disaster for them in 2020. If they had any hope of winning the “collar counties” around the big cities from Pennsylvania through Iowa, this new law will make that virtually impossible to do. So, they need to send the signal to “their” judges, from Roberts on down, that they want the law killed and killed fast, no formal burial necessary. A quick injunction will do. That’s what Ms Romney is signaling. Kevin McCarthy is doing the same thing. And if they can’t get the message across to their religious cult members, Pat Robertson will.

Well, you have that all wrong. Most Jewish scholarship from the Bible (not the Old Testament to us) through 3,000 years of scholarship sets out the core principle that personhood doesn’t happen until a baby is delivered.

Oh, totally agree. A 5-4 decision upholding Roe v. Wade in spring 2020 will enrage and demoralize republicans, and energize Democrats to ensure it stays that way with the next vacancy selected by a Democrat.
A 5-4 decision overturning Roe v. Wade will slaughter Republicans at the box office in November.
Politically, I don’t see any upside for Republicans to even have it on the docket this year. Suspect Roberts is looking at the same bit, and will try to punt and not take any cases this year.

I think @imkmu3 meant that they (Guardians of Plutocracy) are all-in with the OT Kill Them All and I Will Sort Them Out Hairy Thunderbolt-flinging God.
I am anything except a scholar of the Talmud, but my recollection is that a woman wasn’t considered pregnant until quickening: that is, when she felt the fetus moving in her uterus. That used to be the position of the Roman Catholic Church, until they went to the Monty Python-approved1 Every Sperm Is Sacred doctrine.
1 Monty Python-approved means approved for purposes of satire and mockery.

So McDaniels has announced that the RNC will not fund the alabama state republican party and will move to not seat delegates from alabama at next year’s convention unless this egregious law is repealed.
Oh? She’s not doing any of those things? She’s supporting the state party and all its legislators unreservedly? Gotcha.

Hey, to be fair - Alabama has 9 electoral college votes, 2 Senators and, and, well that’s it, I guess.
