WOW! Overturning ROE has shined a giant spotlight on the horrors of banning abortion.

[fightforfreedom]

Republicans across the country are running for cover.

The South Carolina Senate just rejected a near total abortion ban. A female member, I did not catch her name, gave a speech on the floor that was brutal. I just watched it on MSNBC.

In Michigan, abortion is now on the ballot.

[3Hotdogs]

1. It needs to be on the ballot. The same people who never voted before, will run to the polls.....

and while they are there, they will remember who voted for this shit in the first place. It will cost the Republicans about a hundred more seats.

[fightforfreedom]

2. The Republicans kicked a giant bee hive.

Now they are running like hell. That pretty much sums it up.

[Raster]

5. It's what Republicans always do...

... they make sweeping, broad laws that appeal to only a small subset of the electorate and then thumb their noses at the rest of their constituents.

The Republican Party is anti-Democratic and anti-American, and should be removed from power at every juncture, at every level, in every locale, and in every jurisdiction.

9. Yup and its kneecapped them as they cannot really use overturning Roe to

rally their base to the polls.

[The Jungle 1]

8. The irony.

Republicans had this great wedge issue that they used successfully for 50 years to whip their base.
However giving the base what they wanted is not working out so goodly.

[Walleye]

13. That was my thought as soon as the decision came down. What are they gonna campaign on now

[Arazi]

19. Republicans wanted it kicked to R LEGISLATURES, not voters

They didn’t game this out, even after all these decades of scheming to get it before SCOTUS.

Now that it’s (in many cases) going before individual voters their next best shot is a national ban.

We must prevent that.

What’s infuriating is they refuse to listen to the vast majority of women who want to retain the choice, their own bodily autonomy.

[Raster]

3. Choice should be on every ballot in every state. Allow the citizens to decide...

...and NOT the #TheologicalFascists that have decreed that their beliefs are paramount and the rest of us can go pound sand.

[dlk]

4. It's amazing how many don't have a clue about how truly complicated pregnancies can be

Or even women’s basic biology. Untrained and essentially ignorant legislators shouldn’t be practicing medicine by legislation without a license and need to leave their religion at the doorstep of their respective capitols.

[fightforfreedom]

10. So true and they also don't seem to understand life itself is very complicated.

Forcing a women who is in abusive relationship or who can't financially support a baby or who is addicted to drugs, to have a baby solves nothing. It's cruel for the mother and baby. Women in these situations are the ones who will seek unsafe abortions if they don't have legal access.

[dlk]

14. The radical extremist don't have clue

Nor do they want one. They already know it all.

[Hortensis]

17. :) The nature of extremists on all sides. Extreme righteousness combined

with knee-jerk, and typically passionate, rejection of all information that conflicts and contempt for those who consider it. And almost always seeing everything as part of a crisis -- which only they are able to avert due to their superior, and rare, understanding.

Very IMPORTANT people.

25. Legends in their own minds...

[bronxiteforever]

11. +1 exactly. These "geniuses" don't understand

viruses or climate change either. Their ignorance of science is body blow to the US being competitive in STEM.

[The Jungle 1]

6. I have never seen republicans on their heels like they are right now.

I am 66 and have witnessed some politics.
Republicans are trying to tap out but the ref is ignoring them.
I predict that women of America will kick their ass. It will be a quiet ass whooping.

[NNadir]

7. Still, the operative point is that individual women are personally...

...experiencing horrors they should never have known.

[Farmer-Rick]

18. Exactly

The horrors of pre- Roe have slipped from memory. If anyone remembered in the first place..... it's easy to forget other people's sufferings.

But now the horrors come back 3 fold because of scientific advancement. Women are not expecting to die, suffer and be permanently injured because of pregnancy. They use to just quietly accept it because there was no other option. But today we know there are so many other options that the pure insanity of the forced birth crowd is a slap in the face to common sense and reason.

But the Supremely Religious Court will have their fun with their unscientific, religious mythology and superstitions forced into our mostly secular laws. They are the beginnings of a theocracy.

[Johnny2X2X]

12. This has activated a block of voters the GOP has feared forever

A blue wave is coming. You can feel it building. Women across the country are not going to stand for this. You're going to see safe Republican candidates lose their seats in districts the experts didn't think were possible to even be competitive.

No amount of back peddling can hide what's on the line here, Republicans want to turn women into second class citizens, voting Democrat is the only way women can stop them.

[Indykatie]

21. I Think Dems Will All Republican "Leaning" House Seats in MI With Abortion Access on Ballot

GOP won some House seats with win margins of 3-4%. I think Dems will win most of these seats t in 2022 if we get the Blue Wave I expect to see.

[Johnny2X2X]

23. Right now it's 7-7

We lost a seat so there are 13 now. I think 7-6 for Dems is guaranteed at least. 8-5 in favor of Dems is very doable.

[RedSpartan]

15. All the Rebuplicans have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill her with a terrible resolve.

[Phoenix61]

16. I think it will bring young voters to the polls in record

numbers. Hopefully, they will stay engaged and keep the repukes on the run.

[Nac Mac Feegle]

20. These christofascists are like a dog that caught the car

And are discovering that they don't like the taste of bumper at 50 M.P.H.

[Rebl2]

22. Her name is

Katrina Shealy. Saw her speech on DU a day or two ago and it was like you said-brutal.

[FakeNoose]

24. The Supreme Court is going to receive huge pushback on their stupid ruling

I'm sure of it, and even some of the Repukes are trying to figure out how they can duck out of this.

The important thing is that we need to make sure that EVERY Democrat and EVERY Independent understands that their vote counts. We need to Get The Vote Out like never before.

We can't "vote out" the Supreme Court but we can trim their sails by getting a Dem-majority in Congress, and then enlarging the Supreme Court to 13 seats. That's where it should be anyway, based on US population growth of the last century. It has never been more obvious that Repukes cannot govern or lead this country.

[Skittles]

26. pissing off women is not a great campaign strategy?

WHO KNEW?!?

[Hekate]

[roamer65]

28. My prediction for MI.

Proposal 3 will pass by 70-30 pct.
