Kamala is younger than Biden, with a diverse ethnic background and firmly pro-choice. If I was picking a dream team right now it would be her and Pete Buttigieg.
Gee, I wonder why Senator Tommy Tuberville isn’t ALL OVER this story, considering his much vaunted concern about the “innocent baybeez” of our military members?
“If Mrs. Petitfrere were a pregnant White woman seeking critical medical attention at Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune, one must wonder if somebody would have listened to her cries for help,” her claim stated. “If she were a pregnant White woman pleading for assistance, she would not have been accused of seeking to abuse drugs or been asked why she thought it was a good idea to get pregnant in the first place. If Mrs. Petitfrere had been a pregnant White woman who went to the Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune’s emergency room, her son may still be alive today.”
“ Speaking of Republicans trying to confine women to anti-choice states: In response to Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall going after women’s right to travel out-of-state for abortion care—and threatening anyone who helps them to do so—Mayday Health used trucks and billboards in Tuscaloosa this week to advertise abortion medication shipped to your door.”
Sorry, Republicans. We are just out of fucks to give about your forced birth laws. You do you, boo. We’ll take care of each other.
Not that there are not plenty of others but here is another example of how illogical, hypocritical, and false Republican actions are in their frenzy to control women and their reproductive rights. Jessica writes: “Idaho’s law criminalizes taking a minor out of the state for abortion care, or even driving them to a post office within the state to pick up abortion medication“. Meanwhile Idaho and other state governments say they p are also so concerned about protecting parents’ rights to control their children’s health and well being. But what happens if the parents are the ones driving their pregnant daughter across the border for an abortion or to the post office? I’m sure there is no free pass for parents.
I understand Jessica's concern about Trump and abortion, but if we can't beat Trump we have bigger problems than just the public's view on abortion. Trump is the leader of a mob that wants to overturn the entire system of government in this country, and sees the 91 indictments filed against him as proof that he is the one most fit to do this. There's really no road back from a Trump victory in November 2024 that doesn't involve massive civil unrest and most likely violence against his opponents. We may experience those things next year anyway.
If there is ever a postcard writing campaign about getting out the voter please let us know. I live in a pro-choice state but would like to help in other areas. I did this for a critical election in Georgia in 2022. It was rewarding to help in a small way.
That 1/3 of Republicans and 2/3 of independents needs to be amplified more in the public media. GOP-friendly media and gatherings consistently and deliberately stonewall dissent on the issue. Still, local and national news services should seek out Republicans and Independents willing to speak publicly on abortion rights. Most media are controlled by progressives and traditional liberals. Their reporters need to reach out to the numerous center-right dissidents on the abortion question when incorporating representative voices. If a future Supreme Court justice is to be nominated by a Republican, a manifested public demand of the need to restore the rights formerly guaranteed under the Roe/Casey precedents across the political spectrum may influence the selection of the nominee, the nominee's own views, and pivotal confirmation votes.

"The Catholic Church, for example, has given nearly a million dollars to defeat Issue 1" in Ohio? Why in the nine hells are they not paying taxes?

Thank you for the link to Charley! I hadn't been able to find it.
Jessica, I don't know how you manage this, but it is absolutely essential. Thank you so much for dedicating your time. xo
