Dear Republicans at all levels of government:  Please keep trying to pass more and stricter abortion regulations and talking about it as publicly as possible, especially in the months leading up to elections.

Doesn't seem to be costing them much.  

 

And they've got ways of dealing with them pesky voters.

Last month, when they lost one seat in the Senate, gained control of the house, and placed book banning committees across America?

Yes, last month when they lost one seat in the Senate (and Dems increased their control) and only gained about 1/3 of the House seats as is the average for the opposition party in a mid-year election, and also lost 3 governor seats (first time since 1986 — and only the second time since 1934 — that the opposition party has had a net loss of governor’s seats) and lost control of four statehouse chambers (the opposition party has gained state legislative chambers in every midterm election held since 2002, flipping an average of more than 12 chambers, a net difference of 15).

Are you familiar with what typically happens in midterms in regards to the party that holds the white house?

[Larry]

So, you're celebrating the fact that they won, but they didn't cover the spread?  
 

Boy, that'll sure teach 'em.

Nah, Sinema made sure that there weren't any extra Democrats than before.

Unless she votes straight Republican, yes, they increased their control.

It is sort of unclear what needs to be explained when a person doesn’t seem to understand things I would consider to be universally accepted.

Jezebel: Ron DeSantis Appoints Ousted Anti-Abortion Judge to More Powerful Court

 

Quote

 

Florida Judge Jared Smith made headlines at the start of 2022 after he tried to deny a 17-year-old girl an abortion because, in his opinion, her GPA suggested she was too immature to make the decision without her parents. (Very logical that someone “not mature enough” to choose an abortion is perfectly fit to become a parent.)

 

Smith’s decision was thankfully overruled by an appeals court and, in August, Smith lost his reelection to the Hillsborough County Court. But now, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has appointed Smith to one of those appeals courts, effective on January 1. Yes, after voters kicked Smith to the curb, DeSantis decided to give him a job with more power than his old one.

Religious leaders sue to block Missouri’s abortion ban

 

A group of religious leaders who support abortion rights filed a lawsuit Thursday challenging Missouri’s abortion ban, saying lawmakers openly invoked their religious beliefs while drafting the measure and thereby imposed those beliefs on others who don’t share them.

 

The lawsuit filed in St. Louis is the latest of many to challenge restrictive abortion laws enacted by conservative states after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June. That landmark ruling left abortion rights up to each state to decide.

 

Since then, religious abortion rights supporters have increasingly used religious freedom lawsuits in seeking to protect abortion access. The religious freedom complaints are among nearly three dozen post-Roe lawsuits that have been filed against 19 states’ abortion bans, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.

 

The Missouri lawsuit brought on behalf of 13 Christian and Jewish leaders seeks a permanent injunction barring the state from enforcing its abortion law and a declaration that provisions of its law violate the Missouri Constitution.

 

“What the lawsuit says is that when you legislate your religious beliefs into law, you impose your beliefs on everyone else and force all of us to live by your own narrow beliefs,” said Michelle Banker of the National Women’s Law Center, the lead attorney in the case. “And that hurts us. That denies our basic human rights.”
