Every time we think Republicans hit bottom, someone gets out a shovel.
In almost simultaneous decisions, the SCOTUS protect the unborn and make it easier to shoot the born.
It's like banning abstinence and virginity at the same time.
That fundie Amy Coney Barret is now deciding the fate of all American women.
Women are in the slippery slope again, back to the fifties.... The next targets are abortion pills and contraceptives, AND traveling to other states to get an abortion. I bet they'll throw in a ban for sodomy too, for good measure.
Get Coney Barret out of my bed!
Pro-life fuckers should be wary of uncorking the bubbly because of a static analysis of the situation - every action has a reaction.
This issue may well favor the Dems in November and in 2024, more than the January 6th Commission, because the great majority of the country is pro-choice.
Let it be noted that the party of 'freedom' just removed a most important freedom that affects more than half the population, and their spouses, boyfriends and families.
It is useless to debate this question privately as well as guns and Trump, because if you ask a deplorable about the 2020 election and the overwhelming lack of evidence of massive fraud, they will say something like... "I know in my heart that they cheated."
That's it folks. The 'heart' is not amenable to reason. Stop talking.
I remember vividly a debate I once had when I still entertained hopes that proper reasoning can persuade the 'heart.' Back and forth sitting in the kitchen with a colleague engineer, who was a Jehova's Witness. Hours later, when I thought I had him cornered, he delivered a knock-out punch.
"Even if you could present irrefutable proof that Jesus didn't exist and the Christian God doesn't exist, it would not matter to my faith."
It's exactly the same for abortion, guns, and people in love with Trump.
Save you breath.
Our belief engine is not geared to pursue the truth, it is geared for survival and comfort. We believe what saves our asses and what makes us feel good, first, and much, much, before that we adopt a belief because it's seems to be true.
That is the default. And it takes constant training of the mind to stay on the path of the scientific method to arrive at the best approximations to the truth.
It's a worthy endeavor because the truth is the BEST guide to action, all other succedanea being markedly inferior.
If you want to feel good drink a beer, smoke a joint, eat a cake or have sex. These are far better options than drinking the Kool-Aid charlatans dispense. Poison your body if you must, but don't fill you mind with the clutter of error.
The last American five years offer ample proof of all that.
