Interesting that Rubio said, we must protect human life from the moment of conception to the moment of birth. At least he was honest, in that, we knew all along that Republicans are not pro-life, they are pro-fetus, which is a much more cowardly position. They do not care about life, once it's born. Democrats need to follow Demmings' and Scott's lead, and call these frauds out, every damned day, until the election. Not just over abortion, but, on all of the issues that the GOP voted no on, which is a lot. I've already seen ads for Elise Stefanik, bragging about all of the money coming to her district. Her opponent has already been calling her out on her no vote, that's still bringing money to her district, but, he needs to put the pressure on. They also need to highlight the Republican's desire to do away with Social Security and Medicare, especially in states like Arizona and Florida, which have a higher population of seniors. Then there's the absolute hypocrisy of any Republican call themselves a law and order candidate. They need to be asked every day about trump and his organized crime unit, some of whom are still in Congress, go figure. There's a ton of stuff to call these hypocrites out on, but, they totally overplayed their hand on the abortion issue. Much easier to bitch about something than it is to defend your bullshit position, once you get what you said you wanted. We must ignore the poll numbers, and the media, who is turning into a constant disappointment, and actually vote, when the time comes. Nothing else matters, if we don't do that.

Not to mention some of them coming out with reasons to ban contraception as well and gay marriage Florida and Texas are leading a charge to fascism and I really hope that Americans are paying attention

Note that the same logic Alito and Thomas used to erase this long standing legal precedence could also be used to outlaw interracial marriage. But Thomas did not list that in his list of targets for this method. Just criminalizing contraception and being gay.

As well as the continuing determination to render women the property of men. They all have to "out Chrsitian" each other such as that minister that is saying women wearing pants is not gender appropriate and their husbands should burn all their pants.

The media is unfairly reporting faliures of Democrats but not what they accomplished. Much of them are republicans or have republican backers.

Per ABC's 8/24 national news broadcast, NEWLY registered women voters in Wisconsin. MIchigan & Pennsylvania outnumber males 12 to 1.

Good. I hadn't seen that. we have too many republicans here led by Ron Johnson and Tim michels that want to tear everything down to rubble. Even michel's ads show a wrecking ball.

Aw, do the poor MAGATS have a tiger by the tail? I have to say these people must be pretty ignorant to not realize that this type of court decision, when they don't already hold all the reins of power, was most certainly going to bite them in the ass!

And the anger is now going to increase as we watch them all try to back pedal, just to keep their seats! Blue wave? Nope. Blue tsunami!

Moscow Mitch's vile packing of the court has come back to bite him in his saggy old ass. As disturbing as that visual image is, it makes me happy.

Funny (or sad) thing, my mom showed me why the Reps hate Pelosi, it is because someone took a picture of her in a bikini, and because they think her boobs look to good to be real. Apparently that's Fox's latest news. I asked her if she would hate Mitch if someone took a picture of him in a speedo. :O

Marco Rubio's statements “I do not believe that the dignity and the worth of human life is tied to the circumstances of their conception” and “we should be protecting human life from the moment of conception to the moment of birth” indicate that he believes that there should be no exceptions, even for rape or incest, and he believes in super protection for gametes, cell cultures, and unviable fetuses, but is not concerned with the consequences of that for the mother or the child once the child is born or if the mother dies in childbirth. Makes it pretty hard to claim moral high ground there.

I find it telling that they think "protecting human life" does not include the mother nor should we consider the mental well being of the mother in the case of incest or rape- even if that "mother" is still a child themselves (the case of the 10 yr old in Ohio). That alone tells you they are only pro birth. Mothers are people too, they just deem we lose that status and become mere incubators once we become pregnant.

Well all we can do is hope their idiocy on this and other stances that remove our choices as Americans will bring another blue wave and send a clear message that stepping on American rights to Maury who we want to be who we want and bodily autonomy is not going to be tolerated.

Rubio says “protect from conception to birth...” So what about after the birth? That’s where he and his clan don’t care as much!

Expand full comment

if he cared about "after the birth" he would care about the mother. He doesn't
