I read Will Saletan's piece on the GOP avoiding "abortion". We know exactly what the GOP stands for and what they want. That is 100% control of women's lives. All we need do is look at what happened after Dobbs, as state after state controlled by republicans tried to outdo each other for how draconian they could make their laws. No exceptions, no health care for a miscarriage as long as they could detect a "heartbeat" or the woman was in danger of imminent death. Look at TX, at OK, at ID, at TN where children will be forced to deliver babies, and women will be sacrificed on the alter of absolute control. Then there are those like Youngkin that would offer 15 weeks like it is some kind of gift and the republicans in Ohio feverishly working for some way around a constitutional amendment. Fact is that amendment in Ohio would pass in every single state in the union if people were given the chance. What people believe is IT IS NONE OF THE GOVERNMENTS BUSINESS until more than one human being is involved ie when a fetus is viable outside the body of the pregnant person. And even then it is the life of the living breathing actual human being that should take precedence. In short ANY republican that says they do not want to ban abortion is lying. If you want the government to keep their hands off your body and their noses out of your life vote for Democrats, every race every time.
