This is what you consider "lambasting"?

You replied to them 4 times, in a condescending way. It was rude and aggressive. So yes, I do! :huntyga:

Remember guys: This malarkey which the Republican party is doing is only popular with an aging and dying demographic. Keep in mind:

* In 1984, voters of all ages voted red across the board.

* Ditto in 1988

* Clinton was more popular with voters over 60 than young voters in 1992

* Bush and Gore were equally as popular among then 18-24 year old voters in 2000

* In 2004, Kerry was more popular among 18-24 year old voters than Bush; all older voters preferred Bush.

* In 2012, voters 39 and younger all preferred Obama over Romney. Voters 40 and older all preferred Romney over Obama.

* In 2016, it was voters 40 and older who gave Trump the White house. Voters 39 and younger voted for Hillary.

* By the 2020 election, those Republican voters have been getting even older: Only voters 50 and older preferred Trump to Biden.

Point being, in the mid-1980s, all age groups were red voters. In 2004, voters 24 and under were blue. By 2012, voters 39 and under were blue. Eight years later, voters 49 and younger are blue.

The republican party only appeals to an aging demographic which is dying off. I will probably live to see the court get packed, and I might even live to see a national popular vote constitutional amendment.

In the short term, I think abortion is going to be the new health care law: Now that passing laws have real world consequences, it’s going to be a lot harder for Republicans to pass those laws.

Today voting against abortion actually takes away a woman’s fundamental right, so a lot of Republicans at the state level are going to backpedal and pass laws making abortions legal in swing states and even red states. I remember when Todd Akin was shown the door in deep red Missouri because he said a woman could “shut down” a pregnancy from rape. The same women in deep red states who voted out Akin back in 2012 are now going to vote out Republicans who try to keep abortion illegal.

Jailed for a misscaraige that is the most ****ed up thing ive ever heard

There was also that woman in Alabama, I believe, who was shot by her boyfriend and her baby died. They charged her with manslaughter, stating she instigated the fight and the gun shot as well as the fetus' death were on her.

And this was BEFORE Roe was struck down.

If I were a woman living in the US, I'd be terrified to even think about getting pregnant.

No, another member and yourself jumped in. This was the entire exchange, after I made a very dry and factual statement...

It's not inherently false... leaving it up to the states means effectively banning it in some places... but it should be clarified that it's not all.

4 hours ago, Frank Potion said:

No, it is false. The Supreme Court gave the decision back to states. That is not “banning” it.

4 hours ago, Yes To Heaven said:

Who half of which will then ban it 100%, I mean they could've used better wording but

4 hours ago, Frank Potion said:

Better wording is that Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, and that thread exists…

And then YOU jumped in to accuse me of supporting their decision.

3 hours ago, JohnnyVersace said:

Are you defending it? :laughga:

3 hours ago, Frank Potion said:

No. How is clarifying what actually happened defending their decision? :hmm:

If you don’t know how things work just stay quiet and listen to people who do. Otherwise you’ll risk looking like an idiot.

I was snippy with you and you only, because you assumed based on me stating a fact, I supported their decision. So this whole thing of me being rude to members is false. Just to you.

I accused you of supporting the overturn because your constant need to nit-pick the title seemed to downplay the severity. And then yes, you became *clearly* agressive. Anyway! :vegas:

It just sucks that our progress as a society depends on the boomers dropping dead faster.

But yes, I've said this for a while. This recent apparent push from the right is a dying final gasp. A caged animal is always loudest right before it's slaughtered. Whichever analogy you want to go with.

But we can't take that for granted 'cause they've clearly shown an ability to rule with minority support. We need to stomp out every single ember.

Overturning it simply means giving individuals states the option to ban abortion, right? That itself is scary in 2022 considering how conservative some places can become :saladga:

I was ready to cancel you for using "malarkey" :sharon:

But your post gave me hope and is such a great timeline for progress. I hope (TW)

Tbh, the way I feel right now, you could probably make a Reagan comment about one of these SCOTUS judges and I'd just hide it and silently agree :huntyga:
