Pelosi read a poem at the end of a speech. People are choosing to ignore that context and pretend all she did was read a poem so they have a boogeyman to get angry at.
Dems suck, Pelosi is meh, but can we please God stop making shit up and going all "bitch eating crackers" on everyone?
I say this with complete sincerity: fuck every single person at every possible level who supported this. They are pieces of shit.
You shouldn't, because they are not legitimate. They have lost any shred of credibility as an impartial institution. It's over
You know what? I'll just be happy with some anger. You know, I drive Lyft and Uber in a swing state, and you know what I never hear? Democrats bitching about anything the Right does. You know what I hear absolutely every single day? A Republican bitching to me about Joe Biden. They are angry. Their blood is pumping.
Will we see that anger coming from the Left now? I have my doubts but god I hope so.
She knew, she just acts like a moderate because the media falls for it and loves it.
And the voters of Maine, unfortunately.
More signs pointing toward the exact opposite happening. Republicans getting control of the senate and house, than in 2024, presidency.
Then we will REALLY see scorched earth happen to this country.
playing the mark is part of the game. she is trying to save face and keep her moderate voters by acting like she was duped, knowing full well what they were going to do when they lied to the american public.
the anti-abortion laws put in place by republicans across the country have been very clear on this. the answer might surprise you because it's sometimes way worse than you can possibly imagine, such as being forced to carry the rapist's child to term, and then losing custody to the rapist, and then having to pay child support to the rapist who has custody of the child he raped into you.
I haven't followed this at all, so pardon my ignorance.
But what sparked this re-opening??? And not some, "GOP is evil!" But for real, what was the driving decision that said, "Let's challenge this!"

have the child and live with a crippling financial situation and emotional scars that last a lifetime and this is all without factoring the fact that they were raped.
The GOP have been making restrictive abortions laws specifically to have a chilling effect and to have SCOTUS take it up so they can overturn Roe. They got what they wanted.
Unfortunately, politics as usual.
They have a majority in the Supreme Court so now they're going with their wildest dreams that they previously were unable to obtain.
There was no spark. They're evil and have been working in this for 50 years
They've been chipping away since Roe v Wade, nothing sparked this specifically, they just finally got the right court installed
She seems to be in good company with them because she is and always has been a deceptive lying liar.
Now the folks in Washington will be patting themselves on the back for passing the most toothless gun legislation that they could've possibly passed. We can't control guns but women's bodies are a different story I guess.
This.
I really wish people would stop feigning that Republicans are anything other than what they consistently prove themselves to be.
There have been consistent challenges to it for ages, primarily by passing laws in red states that push the boundaries. All it took was for a large enough SCOTUS majority, particularly the last two justices which were picked in part for their views on the topic.
What're you gonna do bout it Susan? Hmm? Start impeachm---wait, where are you going Susan? Susan!!
This. I can't imagine the fear running through the veins of parents of sexually active teenage girls in these states at this point. Horrifying.
its not an all of a sudden thing
this has been the driving force of republican politicking for 50 years and they just finally succeeded
republicans have never agreed with the decision and have always wanted to pull it back. they just didn't have the ability to do so until 2016 gave it to them.
shes so full of shit.
she's also a big Paul LePage supporter too. so imagine playing stupid about roe v Wade while full throatedly supporting that piece of garbage..
Republicans have never let roe v wade go since it was a ruling. Literally the day of the ruling they were already on tv and in interviews talking about how the battle isn't over and they will do what it takes to overturn it. They've never stopped.
As to what sparked it, it was the final realisation of their long game. Getting enough power on the scotus to overturn it and rule anyway they want. This is exactly why the fight for the scotus in 2016 was so important. The battle is lost for now but the war is far from over. It'll take time and huge effort to get back what's been taken but it can happen as has been seen in other nations.
I think, given our federal government's refusal to protect humans rights and be a functioning democracy, it's time for secessionist movements to be reconsidered (yes I know they are technically illegal).
I'm sure the right are so fucking stupid they wouldnt care if the entire west coast just took all the rights they afford their citizens (which the christian republicans controlling this fucking country hate) and bailed. I love where I live WA state, but I hate our fucking country. We need a new country to guarantee human rights and bodily autonomy. The USA is fucking doomed.

Bull. Fucking. shit. google the French Revolution! Hell! Look at Ukraine right now! The only way they stay a sovereign nation is through violence!
Violence is the language of the unheard!
How would this be legal? State laws only apply within that jurisdiction. If a woman goes to a blue state to get an abortion, she's not breaking laws in the blue state. I don't think the type of state law you are referencing could be considered Constitutional.
Especially today. Because self scouting is how you shore up weakness, and find an effective message to achieve goals.
People will spin regardless, and you only fall down if you don't know where you're unstable at. And that only comes from active constructive criticism.
Yelling at the apathetic and disinterested hasn't worked so far, giving reasons and goals to work toward always has.
I'm half convinced that it was a conservative judge's team who leaked the ruling last month so that state lawmakers could have their ducks lined up for today.
The SCOTUS skews right, and Congressional Dems don't have the numbers to codify. This has been the #1 GOP goal for decades, and with the republicans seemingly about to take power in 2022 the time was right.
It's adding little to the conversation that hasn't been repeated and said many times already but I'd be banned for what I really want to say. Let's just keep it at a huge part of this country is fundamentally broken and I'm not just talking about the systems in place.
Not the person but you could go after those who helped get them to destination. For example, if someone drove them across the state to go to another state.
