      A ataggering number of Republican voters seem to think the people they elect will not do the things they say they will do if handed power.

        Because it ia only a more recent phenomenon. 10 years ago if you asked a republican voter if Roe would be overturned they would think it would never happen. They were all for it but didnt believe it would happen. Now they are the dog that caught the car. Birth control, IVF, no fault divorce, hell maybe interracial marriage is all on the table. I fear its going to get really bad before it might be ok

          It’s not really a new thing, this is how conservatives and fascists work, create a problem that isn’t a problem, rally against it, get into to power and fumble it

    Okay so, in the article it talks about how Mike Johnson back at the height of the pandemic had an interview with the Student For Life Organization (Anti-Abortion Group) and said “Of the things we’re on the lookout for is the use of chemical abortions because there’s this move towards telemedicine and off-site medical treatment and that kind of thing. ‘We need to be able to treat people remotely, and so we’ll just mail them a chemical that will induce the abortion.’ You know: a pill or a syringe or whatever it is,”

    This motherfucker knows Mifepristone is a pill. He just wants to try and make it sound like doctors are mailing syringes out to people. That those syringes are dangerous and dirty and that women obviously shouldn’t be injecting themselves with them. He is such a piece of shit and knows what he is saying and doing.
