Roe vs Wade Overturned


Recommended Posts

This is actually a good idea. Father Baker would understand the need for these. Babies were routinely abandoned in the city in the 1860's on door steps, in allies and shallow graves. Not saying its a total solution, but a good option, imo

I've always joked that The Handmaids Tale was Pence's wet dream.  Never thought we'd see this insanity.   Women, not only but especially,  really need to stand up more and let their voices be heard.   We need to vote out these Christian fundamentalists.

GOOD POINT: Schumer Shrugs as Roe v. Wade Falls:

 

The Inflation Reduction Act gave Democrats a chance to fund abortion. They didn’t even try.

 

Before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, 25 Democratic senators wrote to President Biden demanding “a whole-of-government response” to the prospect of state abortion bans. Two months later, there was an opportunity to enact such policies regardless of Republican opposition, but Democrats in Congress didn’t even bother bringing them up for a vote.

 

But the budget reconciliation bill that Congress just passed was different. It could—and did—pass the Senate with only Democratic votes, including Vice President Kamala Harris’s tie-breaker. The bill also provided an opportunity to get around the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits most federal funding of abortions. The amendment applies only to appropriations through the annual spending bill that funds the Department of Health and Human Services.

 

Yet of the nearly 500 amendments that lawmakers filed on the budget reconciliation bill, the only ones touching on abortion came from Republicans. Not only did the issue not receive a vote on the Senate floor; it barely received a word of debate, belying the Democratic senators’ June push for “a whole-of-government response.” In the House, no Democrat attempted to offer an amendment to the bill—on abortion or anything else.

 

 

It’s as if all this “reproductive freedom” talk is just an empty slogan.
