According to AL.com, Democratic senators led by Senate Minority Leader Bobby Singleton “strongly objected to Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth, who presides over the Senate, for his quick gavel on tabling the rape and incest amendment on a voice vote, meaning there is no recorded vote.”

The Alabama Senate has made its anti-abortion bill so punitive in the hopes of drawing a Supreme Court challenge that will lead to the overturn of Roe-v-Wade.

4. So one of the democrats should introduce a huge tax increase.

They will need many new women's prisons and the funds to house the prisoners for life, probably averaging 60 years per prisoner. At least 30,000 a year multiplied by 60 by the number of prisoners, so the cost of this will probably be in the billions. Maybe someone will listen to that.

5. This is about slavery

they won't stop trying to enslave.

Control over the body of the "Other" is reserved as the primary right of the slaver, and slavery-minded institutions.

Back in the 70s, John Lennon wrote a salient song about this.

6. I think-personally-, that this stuff is a body attack on Americans, to keep us in 'the defensive'

CONSTANTLY. They force us to protect ourselves, to keep the attention off what they're doing. It's so easy for them to do. It's a frontal attack on all of us, everyday, to keep us off our pins by attacking us (passive-agressively?), and make us fearful of losing what GENERATIONS before us have built and died for specifically to defend our rights and system of doing things.AND to have a feeling of safety and prosperity, for all of us. Not a self-annointed few.
Our country is now being run like a corporation and whatever doesnt suit 'the board members' gets removed. Generations before, and us older folks here, didn't work our whole lives to build this countries bounty, to have the gop steal an election, pretend its legit (and a mandate), to slice up this country in ways unimaginable. This is why honest/fair/elections are important. NOBODY would vote to dismantle the world around them (THE USA), unless they were defective inside. They HAD to steal an election to avoid Hillarys wrath and insight, but, to corporatize and privatize America. All the while helping themselves to the nations savings accounts and safety nets. WHATEVER we do, impeachment or not, it needs to be FASTER bc we don't have time as a luxury. The screws on those ships bring them closer to Boltons dream. Then what?
Before anyone yells election 2020. My refrain is, what have we done about 2016?
