Doc Posted April 20, 2023 Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) 27 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: Then why are Republicans hellbent on introducing federal abortion bans? Lindsey Graham - not exactly a backbencher - started the ball rolling on this right after Dobbs. And even "mainstream" Republicans like Tim Scott are suggesting that they'd sign a federal abortion ban. They will not accept a Supreme Court "yes" for an answer. Why not? Because this was never about "leaving it to the states." That was the lie everybody told to try to get Roe overturned. It was about banning abortion. Period. That wacko judge in Texas just said the quiet part out loud. Because many view anything after fertilization to be a life that must be preserved at all costs. But Graham's abortion bill was for 15 weeks as well. And they've been looking to overturn Roe since it was decided, and that meant returning it to the states to decide. And yes, I'm sure some would like a federal ban on it, but that's not happening. Again, JWHO's refusal to accept 15 weeks, which you said it reasonable, is what led to Roe being overturned. You can talk about the Supreme Court doing it, but they unwittingly opened the door to it. Edited April 20, 2023 by Doc 1

And no reparation funds for your oppressed residents either. You red states won’t last very long. Montana’s state budget is $12.6 billion for FY22 and FY23 and 49% comes from the federal government. Enjoy Montana without my tax dollars! That bottled water is gonna get mighty expensive for ya!!

They are relying on the bible belt vote the reality tv guy who banged a pornstar and paid her to keep her mouth shut while his pregnant wife was at home, stands on that stage with Rev. Graham's family, grifting them for money and votes. These are the people that we are talking about. They ain't gonna come up with anything reasonable. Please. He was cheating on Ivana with Marla Maples decades ago. And Slick was known to be banging Gennifer Flowers. I have no idea why he paid off that skank. 1
