Seems like the only thing Republicans are good at are manufacturing outrage for their easily manipulated base and shooting themselves in the foot. This is the epitome of how lazy and incompetent they are at legislation. 

It’s undeniable that part of the reason we’re even talking about abortion bans taking effect is that President Obama and Democratic lawmakers failed to codify Roe v. Wade when they were in power.

Reminds me of the legislator voting to give state money to Christian schools, until she found out that Muslim schools could also get that money.

Before everyone gets madder and attacks the wrong person even more. John Robinson is the lawyer for the good guys attacking a straw man and saying that the law treats women as unequal. Comprehend before you big mad. 

“Lawyer for the plaintiffs”.

I love that little bit of irony: American “conservatives” are tied at the waist with evangelicals and other theocracy-loving christian clans. So it’s always “government stay out of my business” — unless it’s something they can connect to the bible, in which case it turns into “government please police what everyone…

Even if Democrats had codified Roe into law, this SCOTUS would’ve just overturned it.

The real schadenfreude is yet to come.

All the fighting these idiots are doing, to elevate fetus status over the human being that supports said fetus, is super shortsighted when combined with their other goals to deregulate everything for unrestrained capitalism.

Now, you’re going to have a bunch of people that can…

One might also note that polling indicated significant shifts in support for abortion at the time. Passing the ACA was difficult enough, and lost the Dems their majority, perhaps rhetoric faulting them for failing to exacerbate ruinous choices the electorate hadn’t even made yet, would be a bit much even if it was…

Actual Conservative legal theory should be very pro-abortion. A person making decisions about their body should not be anything the state has influence on. It was weird during COVID when Conservative legal scholars were making pro-abortion legal arguments fighting agains vaccine mandates and Liberal scholars making…

True, the cop may wind up dying in a training exercise or when their backup is inevitably, but unpreventably kept from backing them up when asked to do so. They’ll pay one way or another, to cops this is basically snitching.

I’m wondering, though, whether there’s some history with the captain that is leading the officer to be a stickler for procedure. Something like a fellow officer getting ripped by the captain for failing to follow procedure. If (though not certain) that the captain really only drove a short distance from the poker game…

The requirement of many police departments to keep their body and car cameras running at all times is perhaps one of the biggest contributors to eliminating some of the corruption whereas in the past they would give other officers a break and let them off the hook. Now if they were to do something like that its all on…

Kudos to that cop who followed procedure and basically busted his boss. I’m sure he’ll get skewered by other, shittier cops for it.

Taking in consideration the atittude and mentality of this fine gentleman, I bet that this woman would have divorced him anyway, regardless of having the baby or not. And had her had the baby, I bet a million dollars that this charming prince would have fought tooth and nail to not pay a single dime in alimony for his…

Anyone who votes Republican now, for any position however small, however large, is actively working to demolish America as a democracy, and actively supporting the enslavement and dehumanization of women.
