    ============================

    Do you want to know how frightened Republicans are by the sweeping turn abortion politics has taken since the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade in late June?

    Just look at what their candidates in swing states and districts are doing.

    It amounts to a collective assertion that, well, maybe they didn’t really mean what they said.


    A number of Republicans in tough races seem to have hit upon the same strategy to put them on the right side of public opinion.

    Here are the new rules: First, stop saying you’re “100 percent pro-life.” That might be what Republican primary voters once wanted to hear, but now it’s radioactive.


    Next, make the absurd and unsupportable claim that nothing has really changed when it comes to abortion. Instead, say that the realization of a decades-long Republican goal is less a legal revolution than an opportunity for some heartfelt, respectful conversation.


    Then, stress your deep commitment to the welfare of all women. Stop talking about any particular pieces of legislation or constitutional amendments to ban abortion that you used to support.

    And if you have to say anything at all about policies and particulars, talk about the exceptions to abortion bans you support — even if you didn’t used to support them.


    Finally, say Democrats are the real extremists by pretending that they support babies being aborted literally during delivery, something that, by the way, never happens……

    Just more lies. That’s all they know how to do. This makes me even angrier. Have the moral courage to support your position, don’t try to gaslight us with this garbage. Women aren’t that stupid.

    Michigan board blocks certification of abortion rights ballot measure, throwing it to the courts

    The panel’s vote comes after abortion-rights activists spent several months gathering more than 750,000 signatures from all 83 counties in the state.

    The board’s GOP members voted against approving the measure for the ballot after the anti-abortion group campaigning against the amendment, Citizens to Support MI Women and Children, argued that spacing and formatting errors in the text circulated to voters for their signatures rendered the effort invalid

    Michigan doesn't want a Kansas situation, or at least this panel doesn't
    ===============================================

    A once obscure Michigan elections panel is back in the spotlight after rejecting a ballot initiative asking voters whether abortion rights should be enshrined in the state’s constitution and another to expand voting in the state.

    The Michigan Board of State Canvassers deadlocked 2-2 on party lines on both initiatives Wednesday.

    Abortion rights supporters have already said they will ask the state Supreme Court to intervene to place the measure on the November ballot. The organization backing the voting measure is expected do the same.

    The board last came under national scrutiny in November 2020 when then-President Donald Trump and his supporters tried to convince Republican members not to certify Democrat Joe Biden's victory in the state. One GOP member abstained, but the other joined Democrats in voting to certify.

    It highlighted the possibility that the panel — charged with largely clerical duties, not investigating elections — could become another hyperpartisan battleground.

    The stakes of the abortion rights proposal are particularly high. Its backers are aiming to negate a 91-year-old state law that would ban abortion in all instances except to save the life of the mother.............

    This is not uncommon. Doctors have testified to state legislatures that these tragedies would happen. Rs don’t give a rats arse about women.

    They are really hoping that people are that stupid
    ===================================

    After previously saying he'd try to ban abortion, a Minnesota GOP candidate for governor is changing his tone as election day approaches and an apparent backlash against the anti-abortion movement surges.

    In March, Scott Jensen, a family physician and the GOP candidate for governor, told MPR News that he would "try to ban abortion" if he was elected.

    But in a new political ad released on Tuesday, Jensen holds baby and wears a burp cloth as he says abortion is a "protected constitutional right" in Minnesota and that "no governor can change that."

    "And I'm not running to do that," Jensen says in the ad. Adding, "let's focus on the issues that matter" and accusing his Democratic opponent of using abortion as a political football............

    Just another example of Rs aversion to democracy and their affinity to tyranny! They couldn't care less what voters truly want or believe, all they care care about is power.
     
    .......“I was just your quintessential pro-life Texan,” Kailee, 29, told CNN in a recent interview.

    “I was raised in central Texas by extremely Republican parents and grandparents,” Cade, 31, said. “One hundred percent pro-life.”

    A year after they were married, Kailee miscarried at 16 weeks and was hospitalized for severe complications, including blood clots and infection. It was one of three miscarriages she had in the early years of marriage.

    “It made me realize that pregnancy can be dangerous,” she said. “It made me think of my little sisters, and I wanted them to be able to have a choice if they ever had to go through something like that.”

    Last September, when a restrictive anti-abortion law took effect in Texas, Kailee pled on Facebook for people to contact their elected representatives to protect abortion rights.

    In November, Kailee and Cade were overjoyed to learn she was pregnant. Full of hope, they posted ultrasound pictures and a gender reveal video of a cannon shooting out blue confetti. They named their baby boy Finley.

    Then about three months later, they learned Finley had heart, lung, brain, kidney, and genetic defects and would either be stillborn or die within minutes of birth. Carrying him to term put Kailee at high risk for severe pregnancy complications, including blood clots, preeclampsia and cancer.

    Even so, they could not get an abortion in Texas and fled to New Mexico.

    “I’ve never felt more betrayed by a place I was once so proud to be from,” Kailee said through tears.

    “How could you be so cruel as to pass a law that you know will hurt women and that you know will cause babies to be born in pain?” she added. “How is that humane? How is that saving anybody?”........

    They never cared about women, or even babies, at all. It’s good that people are waking up to this. All this is, is a power play, to control women. Forcing women to give up control of their bodies is what this is about. It’s not Christian, it’s a perversion of Christianity.

    It’s been sold to sincere people as “pro-life” when it is actually only forced birth. The cruelty is a good way to drive home to women that the point of this is that they are not fully equal to men. They know that women will have to endure hardships unnecessarily, like the second example above. They know women will have to undertake serious health risks unnecessarily, like the first example Optimus posted. That only helps drive home the point to women.

    The point is - you are less than a man. You have a biological function that men control. Know your place.
