They have no one to blame but themselves. They’ve gone from “safe, rare, and legal” to unhinged, wanting zero restrictions up to and right after birth, celebrating their abortions (including those who’ve had lots of them), holding them up as triumphs
(Breitbart) No sane person, no decent person, not even someone who is pro-abortion, sees abortion as anything other than an unfortunate event. And that’s how Democrats and their corporate media allies used to discuss abortion, as an unfortunate but sometimes necessary thing. Their tone around abortion was solemn and thoughtful; this was not something to be taken lightly.
The only way to describe the left’s tone around abortion today is demonic.
What was solemn has become strident and boastful. What was not taken lightly is now championed — including the harvesting of dead baby organs. The murder of the unborn is now outright celebrated and cheered. It is beyond grotesque, and how can any person of good conscience sit back and allow such evil against helpless innocence to carry the day?
It’s worth reading the whole piece by Jon Nolte. And now
Democrats to force vote next week on Roe v. Wade decision
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) will force a vote next week on legislation codifying Roe v. Wade in the wake of a leaked Supreme Court draft decision that would strike down the landmark case.
The test procedural vote is guaranteed to fall short because the bill needs 60 votes to advance, but Democrats are eager to make Republicans go on the record and show their own voters that they are fighting.
“Next week the U.S. Senate is going to vote on legislation to codify a woman’s right to seek abortion into federal law,” Schumer said from the Senate floor.
Schumer will move to tee up the bill on Monday, setting up an initial vote for Wednesday.
It will be the second vote Schumer has forced on the issue. The Senate previously rejected a similar bill in a 46-48 vote earlier this year, with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) voting with Senate Republicans.
They won’t get 60, and, if they think going on the record as being for abortion on demand, in celebrating abortion, it won’t play well for middle America. Those who aren’t pro-abortion extremists, aren’t ghouls, will see the theatrics from the elected Democrats and the crazies outside the Congressional building, and it will be a bad look.
Will they attempt to pass it by killing off the filibuster? They have to know that doing that will boomerang back in the future. And, they might not get Manchin to vote for it. Of course, there’s always lunatics like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.
A Politico-Morning Consult poll released Wednesday found that 50 percent of voters believe the landmark case that guarantees abortion access should not be overturned, while 28 percent said that it should be overturned.
We don’t run the Constitution by public opinion. And states can choose to have abortion be legal. That’s where it should be: the states.
They have constructed a wall around the supreme court. The justices are receiving death threats. Their family’s home addresses have been doxxed to the internet.
This is how Democracy works for the LEFT. Their causes are just and no amount of violence or lawlessness is too much. BUT……When the Right marches on DC it’s called an insurrection.
I do not believe it is even possible to pass a law that codifies a right. Nothing is a right except what is guaranteed in the constitution. It is not a right to drive, drink, see a doctor or whatever laws have passed to make it easier to do these things. Most laws do not guarantee citizens the RIGHT TO ANYTHING. most laws usually prevent you from doing something for the benefit of individual corporations’ bottom line. IE seat belts. Covid Vaccines. Other laws are written for public safety such as car safety, etc…etc….etc. None of these are RIGHTS>
However, this is why the Democrats have fallen back to the third leg of their insurrection strategy. LEGISLATION.
This is why the Democrats so desperately want to CODIFY VOTING. To give ultimate power to the government to DICTATE to citizens what they will and will not do.
You cannot CODIFY a RIGHT. Making Abortion a right is what the constitutional amendments are for. Prior to many amendments’ passage, there was no right implied or guaranteed by any law. Such as the RIGHT to bear arms. The right to unlawful search and seizure.
Now I am not a lawyer. Do not pretend to be one. I am simply repeating what I have heard many lawyers on the idiot box discussing. Even lawyers on the left are dubious that the law would survive an appeal to the SCOTUS.
Secondly they need 60 votes. 60 votes for this law to be passed. They only need the 50 vote threshold for judge’s nominations and anything that has anything to do with Financing the government. Now they could make an attempt to tie legislation in with financing but then the OFFICE of Budget and Management weights in and will almost certainly say…NO.
So this is theatre for the base. It is insurrection if it was the right marching on the SCOTUS to the point they had to erect barricades.
For the LEFT this is so like them. Scream at the right and watch them cower in the corner. That is why the right is voting RINO’s out of office so there is no more cowering in the corner to a communist march to Cultural Revolution that dissolves this nation before our eyes.
If the supremes ruled in favor of strict registration of firearms how would the U.S. right react? Recall right-wing terrorists used to bomb clinics and assassinate doctors and nurses.
Anyway, an added benefit for the right by outlawing abortion is that it will make a lot of women felons, who won’t be able to vote! It’s a win-win for the future Republic of Gilead. Once you’ve solidified your dominance you can just make it illegal for non-white, non-male, non-christian, non-property owning people to vote!
Except firearms are mentioned in the Constitution, abortion is not.
Actually, the Constitution [2nd Amendment]states: “…, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed.” ‘Arms’ is an inclusive term including firearms, knives, swords, etc.
The only place one could include abortion is in the 10th Amendment, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to
the States respectively, or to the people.”
Just bit of clarification for some of the lefties out there.
If the politicians actually paid attention to the Constitution, 90% of the government would be gone, we would have no debt, our rights would be preserved, our economy would stabilize, we could have manufacturing in this country, inflation would die, and we would be free again.
See this is where your argument fails every time when you say more people voted for blah, blah, blah.
In your case, you are so violently pro-choice that you believe the government should invade states and force them to follow laws their own citizens find objectionable.
There is no right guaranteed in the Constitution that favors abortion thus your side needs to pass a constitutional amendment that requires 2/3rds of the states to say yes. 36-37 I believe is the number of states that need to vote yes and yet 30 states are republican and conservative and mostly anti-abortion.
So you lose there. You lose in the house and senate because it does require 60 votes in the Senate to codify a law making abortion legal on the federal level.
So you lose there. Are you getting tired of the Right winning yet Dowd? Trump warned you if he got elected the right would get tired of winning. And so by definition of competition, that means there are losers and that would be the left, because they stirred a hornet’s nest.
Admit it. This is why YOU and the left hate Trump so much. He has stirred the sleeping giant of the unconscious right who believed they were voting in good little RINO’s to save them from the left’s cultural revolution. But we were wrong so now we have taken it upon ourselves to solve this problem on our own.
This is why spittle flies from your mouth every day and you have changed your names to elicit the idea of violence. You remind me of PUTIN backed into a corner as his forces inflict damage but are steadily being ground to the ground by those fighting for the very heart and soul of their own country and their own children.
Now wingers are concerned that legislators might LEGISLATE!!! The horror! Democracy in action! LEGISLATION by Democrats should be outlawed! Only Republicans should LEGISLATE!
Wingers no longer bother to hide their strategy and tactics. They wish to destroy our American Democratic Constitutional Republic and replace with a nation in their image – White, male-dominated, christian – just like the good ol’ days! Threats of Old Testament fire and brimstone if you don’t obey!!
Normal Americans refuse to believe what the wingers are telling them.
Let me get this straight. You don’t want the abortion question returned to the states for fear the states will LEGISLATE!!! but claim a Congress codifying powers not given to it in our Constitution somehow is the only correct legislation. What a warped sense of fairness, law making and a lack of Constitutional understanding. Passing an illegal federal law about abortion is no different than having the SC determine abortion to be legal in all 57 states. The American Democratic Constitutional Republic as you erroneously call it demands either a Constitutional Amendment or the decisions to be made at the state level.
Moving the goal posts from the Supreme Court to the LEGISLATURE!!! does not change the unconstitutional illegality of your premise. And demanding that 340 million Americans MUST comply to your demands for everyone is a child tantrum and pure lunacy.
You’re not even a woman nor can your party define one according to the ignorant schvartze you clowns are injecting into a once respected court and according to your own chants, signs and riots only women should have a voice in the matter. Or does that only count for men who disagree? As usual.
“If the supremes ruled in favor of strict registration of firearms how would the U.S. right react?” Violently I hope. The 2nd amendment is enshrined in our Constitution as a God-given right. Abortion is not only not a right it doesn’t even appear in the Constitution just as the word “gay” is not in Florida’s legislation you liars keep squawking about. Ignorance is no excuse.
Normal Americans ARE the “wingers” you piss and moan about you are the radical.

Check this out. I have been banned from all Discus sites! No reason. No name of anyone with a complaint. No warning. Just POOF!
I guess the Ministry of Truth is now in effect.

Abortions and the abortion rate have been steadily dropping since the peak during the 1980s. Almost all abortions occur in the first trimester before a fetus can survive alone. It’s estimated that half of all pregnancies end up lost by miscarriage, many without the woman even knowing.
Why haven’t the baby killing Democrats guaranteed more and more murdered babies?
Anyway, killing babies is illegal in the United States. In the 60s, the 1860s that is, killing even fully formed “humans” was legal, as long as the “humans” were Black, i.e., property. After all, they weren’t really human.
Double anyway, when the Fertilized Egg Personhood Amendment finally passes the Pro-Birther movement will have a Constitutional basis for banning abortions! Good luck.
It’s truly amazing how you so easily transition into racism for anything the right does.
I find that refreshing since the left is losing Hispanic and black voters by the droves as these people realize the Democrats DO NOTHING FOR THEM while at least the Right wants them to have a job, 401k, vacation, retirement, and a much, much, much better health care plan.
See since Obamacare was written by those who lose the most when people get sick. INSURANCE. Obamacare has turned EVERYONE’s HEALTHCARE TO SHIT. once upon a time in America we would see 80-90 percent of our expenses covered.
NOW?
50 percent is the norm. A husband and wife best have two healthcare plans now to avoid bankruptcy. But hey at least illegal immigrants shot in a gun fight get free healthcare.
KEEP THOSE BORDERS WIDE OPEN DEMOCRATS we haven’t filled our quota of rapists, murderers and gang members pushing violence and drugs on Americans.
