    Not long ago Kari Lake proclaimed Arizona's abortion law was a great law and wanted it the law of the state.

    Now that she has gotten her way, she is lobbying for it to be repealed.

    As I have been saying since 2022, the overwhelming vast majority of women aren't going to vote for the man who proudly boasts that he got rid of Roe V. Wade. Nor are those women going to vote for a forced birther politician.

    Turns out, republican belief in "pro life" was all just lies to get votes. Who is surprised? I sure am not.

    How many forced birthers will do the same about face?

    Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake is actively lobbying state lawmakers to overturn a 160-year-old law she once supported that bans abortion in almost all cases, a source with knowledge of her efforts told CNN.
     
    Powerful article
    ============
    This spring, I miscarried at 9½ weeks. My body didn’t recognize that the embryo no longer had a heartbeat, so my doctor prescribed a round of misoprostol, a drug also used in abortions; it expelled everything from me except the embryo.

    She prescribed a second round, which gave me a 24-hour fever, during which I moderated a panel at a literary festival, delirious and wearing a diaper.

    A day later, the bleeding started on its own, and I bled nearly every day, expelling tissue, for 2½ months. I kept working. I bled in four countries, 10 states and a U.S. territory.

    Toward the end, concerned about infection, my doctor prescribed a third round of misoprostol. (I had declined a D&C (dilation and curettage), the surgical procedure to remove a uterus’s contents, because the cost after insurance was $6,000.)

    Finally the bleeding stopped. For 10 days I moved through the world like an unmarked person. I briefly thought about other things, such as my teaching and my writing.

    But a few hours after the Dobbs decision was announced on June 24 — after I called my partner and sobbed, I don’t want to be a woman — I started bleeding again, heavily, for eight days. (My period, finally, resumed.) I have spent most of this year bloodied.

    I grew up in Jackson, Miss., one mile from the Pink House: the Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which until the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade was the only clinic in the state where doctors offered abortion services.

    I am also a historian who has written a book on motherhood and race in the 19th-century South. As I faced my own maternal pain for the first time, it was impossible not to think of the women I encountered during my research…….

     
    In their zeal to control women’s bodies, Republicans are threatening the lives, health, well-being and privacy of women and girls across the nation.

    But this modern-day Inquisition is one you can do something to stop when you cast your vote in November.


    These are the questions on the ballot:


    Should a parentless 16-year-old who says she knows she is not able to care for a baby be denied an abortion by a judge?

    Should a woman undergoing a miscarriage, with the fetus showing no cardiac activity, be sent home to suffer 48 hours of heavy bleeding and excruciating pain before doctors will perform a surgical extraction that would have been done immediately just a few months earlier?


    Should a teenager and her mother be made to face criminal charges for terminating the girl’s pregnancy early in the third trimester based largely on evidence gleaned from private messages they exchanged on Facebook about abortion pills?


    Do not dismiss these cases as outliers. Such horrors are likely to be the norm in GOP-controlled states following the Supreme Court’s June 24 ruling striking down Roe v. Wade.

    Republican state legislatures and governors are enacting draconian abortion bans that leave doctors, pharmacists, patients, judges and police officers worried that once-routine decisions about patient care and individual privacy could now be illegal.

    And even if the worst doesn’t come to pass frequently, extreme cases are still important stress tests for the law.


    Republicans fought for decades to pack the high court with a majority that would eliminate the constitutional right to reproductive choice.

    During that time, however, a broad consensus emerged in support of the basic framework established by Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey: Abortion was indeed a protected right, but it could be restricted by states as long as an “undue burden” was not imposed on that right………

    All good points. And let’s don’t forget about some of the candidates, that Trump supports, that are actively trying to get rid of birth control!

    Minor problem. The Democratic Party, not to mention every liberal I know, does not support a fringe whack-a-doodle position like that. So, it still applies, Farb lied. He claimed “one party” supported that.

    Congratulations, you found an idiot. Now, how many RWers support so-called conversion therapy?

    Unless I missed it Farb never mentioned a party. He said one side. Didn't he mean left wing vs right wing?

    Cool. So due to several Republicans having the same problem you’d be okay with labeling all Rs as pedophiles?? Should work the same way, right?

    It's obvious you are making up things since I didn't even comment on my post.

    Posting this because we just had a member post a tweet from a stochastic terror account in this very thread. Posting it in the more appropriate thread as well. We have to be better than to post tweets from these accounts. There’s more in the thread if you care to see all of it.

    That is one of the most idiotic tweet threads I've ever seen. It's a Stochastic terror account for showing what people on the left say about themselves on TikTok? Really?

    This is the person who called them a terror account:

    Harvard Law instructor says Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe should 'never know peace again'

    One Harvard Law School professor said on Twitter that the Supreme Court Justices who overturned Roe v. Wade should "never know peace again."

    And you would know, given that 99% of your "contributions" are just that.

    They just got banned from either FB or TikTok for their hateful posts. You sure you want to defend that account? They do nothing but stir up hate.

    If you read the thread and see the definition of stochastic terrorism you can easily see that’s what that account is engaging in. They’ve done nothing except demonize “libs” but especially LBGTQ people ever since they got started. It’s classic, and it’s working on people like you. Just like it worked in other dark times in history.

    Says the person who posted a tweet from an account that made threatening tweets toward the Suprem Court Justices after the Dobbs decision. Did you think about that before you started your lecturing?

    so, thinking there should be protests toward some specific people over a decision they made that takes away rights is somehow the same as saying that a class of people are satanic and demonic?

    this should embarrass you. The professor made some tweets in the heat of the moment and then thought better of it. This account has maintained a months-long smear campaign toward a class of people filled with hateful tweets. And wouldn’t stop.

    Oh what a clever reply. Considering you have never complained about other people like MT15 posting multiple tweets your disingenuous crying about what I post is meaningless.

    Everyone else that does- and I mean every single person- actually participates in discussions and offers up original thoughts. All you do is parrot whatever Twitter account you happen to agree with and then birch about how others behave. This post of yours is part of the 1% of your posts that aren't terrible hot takes from Twitter. Instead, they're just full of whining and complaining. Maybe Glenn Greenwald has something new for you to copy/paste to make you feel better.
