The World According to Mike: When the real goal is the reward of an after-life, what happens here and now isn’t important.
The largest impact of these policies are leaving women unable to have another, later, successful pregnancy.
For those who go on about late term abortions, the vast majority of them are done reluctantly and are done for the life of the mother and the ability to try to have kids again.
The Dobbs decision have exposed the “pro-life” movement for the radical religious extremists they are. I mean, they’re now talking about a 15 week federal abortion ban? That still allows 93% of abortions to take place.
50 years of campaigning for a 7% reduction in abortions. Could have gotten better results by realizing that abstinence-only sex ed doesn’t work and giving teenagers IUD’s.
It was never about states rights.
It wasn’t about the babies, either.
What was it about, then? Oppressing women? Why would so many women be so eager to participate in their own persecution?
I remain pro-choice but anti-Roe v Wade precisely because it was about state’s rights.
The facts that cannot be denied:
– 9 men in robes decided Roe v Wade 50 years ago. No XX chromosomes involved in that deeply feminist decision.
– Women’s political participation has grown so much that they are now a majority of the electorate
– The “Bible Belt” (the heart of the pro-life movement) consistently still elects women in the highest positions of office, whether it be governor (Alabama, Louisiana) or US Senator (Mississippi)
– If a majority of a state’s electorate favors outlawing abortion, and abortion is a state’s issue, why would we expect them to do anything other than elect a state Senate/House that supports pro-life legislation?
Mike Pence has always been a standard bearer for the neo-cons–the most odious contingent of the GOP. Don’t doubt for a minute that at least some of them (Pence probably, Lindsey Graham DEFINITELY) are making these extreme overtures toward abolishing abortion mainly so they mobilize leftists and help block the MAGA contingent that they hate so much.
What you’re currently getting is a bunch of abortion bans rammed through by men who refuse to put the issue direct to voters.
When it’s put on the ballot, it’s a different story. Name me one state where the topic of abortion has been put on the ballot and true voters said, you know what, we want an abortion ban?
How’d it go in those liberal hotbeds of Kentucky and Kansas?
https://news.yahoo.com/abortion-rights-referendums-winning-state-133200631.html
The voters not true voters.
“I really want to see these candidates talk about where we have areas of broad consensus,” he said
Oh Mike… 84% of Americans want at least some l abortions to be legal. That’s a broad a consensus as you’re ever going to see. https://news.gallup.com/poll/321143/americans-stand-abortion.aspx
I am a middle of the road Republican, and this guy is even more nuts than I realized. Who in the daylights would want a woman to have to carry a non-viable fetus to term?!.
Probably because the nut-jobs on the other side are openly advocating for abortion up until birth. It wasn’t just that goofball Northam in Virginia.
The following states have allowed abortion up until the point that the woman is having contractions: Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado, New Jersey, Alaska, and Vermont.
The United States basically has had the most liberal abortion laws in the world.
Lauren – No one “advocates” for abortion up until birth. People advocate for choice, but no one’s trying to persuade a woman to get an abortion.
Lauren, this is nonsense and you know it. Stop. Most late term abortions are had by women who wanted to have the baby and can’t.
If men had to carry and give birth we wouldn’t be having these discussions.
Women are the cornerstone of the pro-life movement and are now a majority of the electorate. It was nine men who initiated the Roe v Wade decision. This argument doesn’t work anymore.
Lauren, the women you claim are the “cornerstone” of the anti-abortion movement are not the majority of the electorate. Other women in places like red-state Kansas helped preserve abortion rights in their state. And I predict women will turn against the far-right extremists Republicans in 2024.
I will even go so far to predict that Republican control of the House will end on January 3, 2025, that they will not gain control of the Senate, and that Joe Biden will be re-elected to a second term with a majority of the popular vote as well as the electoral college vote.
This makes me sick. He’s “heard” of women who were told their pregnancies aren’t viable and went on to deliver healthy babies. Doubt it. He’s crazy and it’s about control, not life.
Mike Pence missed his calling to be an Evangelical Christian Minister where he could have collected a flock of like minded right wing nuts that want to be preached at . Then gotten rich off of them like Joel Osteen has.
^
He’s pathetic and makes me nauseous. Not even his rebuke of Trump on 1/6 redeems him.
So Mr. Pence says “I want to always err on the side of life,” but how about Keith Cooper. As Governor of Indiana, Mr. Pence had the absolute power to give Mr. Cooper his life back after the years of being wrongfully incarcerated by the State of Indiana. For several years, Governor Pence refused to pardon Mr. Cooper, prolonging the injustice and cruelty. Within weeks of taking over from Pence, Governor Holcomb pardoned Mr. Cooper. Pence did not care one bit about Mr. Cooper’s life, because he was not a fetus growing inside a woman’s body and, even worse, because he was a black man.
Nut job
