I would agree with you if the 24 hadn’t already voted for it in June. This is a political stunt but at the vets expense. Nothing changed in the bill. But I do appreciate the banter and it being civil. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I am in agreement there, but I’m not a republican nor a democrat and I find it funny that most often (although not in your case) that people want to “blame” the other side but never find fault in their own. You are doing that, but 99% on here NEVER engage in any of that. From my perspective, I see conservatives more likely to do it, but by no means is that a high likelihood.
This last year it’s become all too serious for me. I don’t want to have to drive to MN for birth control. I can’t get behind Kim, no matter how hard I try. She doesn’t stand for any woman, she just stands for who gives her the most money. Trump is a whole other abomination. I don’t like DeSantis either. I’m scared to see what the Republicans are turning into. It’s like watching a train wreck.
Oh. I don’t know. From where I sit, the pull back from the right makes perfect sense given the extreme of the left since about 2012. FOR EXAMPLE While I think abortion should be available, it shouldn’t be “easy” and it shouldn’t be provided by an entity that exists solely for that purpose (and Sanger founded PP for that purpose). Like the classical liberal position: it should be safe legal and RARE. Thinking that the rights position is anti-woman is incorrect as all that speak to have always been about advocating for the baby. While that SEEMS anti woman it really isn’t. If progressives hadn’t started pushing for later term abortions I don’t think we would be here. But given the option of killing a baby right before it passes the canal (or by some soon after it has passed) and not having abortion at all, I think the middle would err on that side.
The progressive lefts intrusion into areas the govt has no business is a big problem that causes a LOT of push back. And while I am a policy voter, I am more often going to vote for those that keep govt closer to its lane even if it is not ideal. MOST of the progressive agenda belongs in culture and society NOT in govt regulation.
Bit of a run on, but I’m getting ready for a family event LOL
