MODERATORS
Not letting Democracy happen is why conservatism exists
Republicans have shown time and again that they don't care about democracy.
Yeah, why would they want the public's input? What do they think this is, a republic?
Funny how all the Republican-controlled governments passing abortion bans are trying their hardest to keep the public from having a say.
It's almost like the people of most if not all states are majority pro-choice and Republican governments aren't adequately representative of them.. 🤔
And like these anti-abortion laws are about control.
So, they have taken away another right to choose?
The Republican motto: We know better than you
A physician who sees 3,600 patients a year “told me nothing has changed. She fears no criminalization,” said Ben Clapper, director of Louisiana Right to Life, the state’s powerful anti-abortion lobbying group. “She’s able to care for mothers and babies effectively.”
[X] Doubt
This has "blink twice if you're in danger" vibes.
Fucking Ben Clapper with his million fucking baby having ass. It was obvious in college he was going to take his bullshit all the way to the top
She’s able to care for mothers and babies effectively.”
Either party dying during or soon after delivery counts as "effectively."
“That idiotic mass called ’the public’ is only useful for getting us into office. When it comes to actual decision making, it’s better if they just shut up.”
Representatives not representing the people... Hm. Sounds like they are useless then. They should be afraid. The fact that they are not means we are to tolerant.
