Senate Democrats are continuing their efforts to put their colleagues across the aisle on record for their unwillingness to support reproductive rights in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling, which opened the door to a flood of state-level abortion bans. Last week, Democrats brought forward a bill to protect access to contraception. This week it will be a bill to protect access to in vitro fertilization.
JFC, if you don’t believe in IVF then don’t use IVF. Somehow these Evangelicals have lost the thread that they can worship their religious doctrine as faithfully as they want. But the rest of us that don’t share their religious views have just as much right to follow our own religion, or no religion at all.
I want to see the Katie Britt “Talk Fundie” bill come up for a vote. The bill would require girls starting in kindergarten to learn fundie and become fluent in fundie before graduating high school. Boys would not be allowed to have sex with high school girls who do not speak fundie. The boys would also be required to wear spiked gloves to help encourage them to insist that their girlfriends speak fundie. Any school at any level not teaching fundie to girls would be unfundied.
Just once, I’d like to see someone toy with the lives of these reprehensible GQP’ers the way they toy with their constituents and the desires of those in this country.
That there just doesn’t seem to be any accountability for these nincompoops pushing PR nonsense to try and ‘gotcha’ the other party is just no way to run a railroad, let alone a government.
It’s their party that wants to do away with pretty much everything having to do with having kids. Trying to run away from it had better not work in November or any other time.
Let me see if I have this straight: it is not OK to wait until are ready to have kids. They wish to outlaw contraception, a morning after pill that flushes an embryo that has only been fertilized for a few hours. They wish to outlaw abortions even when the result of rape. They say only god can decide whether a baby will come into this world or not. Only God can decide whether an embryo doesn’t develop into a fetus. But IV fertilization is ok. The Republicans oppose the bill because…reasons. Some issue which only Republicans can own. And only they can own it, because they like to consider themselves the godly party. There is some sort of religious issue that’s involved, but the republicans cannot be articulate the issue. Now it’s all very clear to me. It’s all about campaign contributions from the Heritage foundation.
