The '6 week heartbeat' is not a heartbeat.Which is what?
Yep, which is what I’ve been saying in this thread.The '6 week heartbeat' is not a heartbeat.
Dems grow alarmed by lack of fear over Roe’s future
Democrats argue that the party needs to act more aggressively ahead of the Supreme Court’s ruling expected this summer on a challenge to Roe v. Wade.

For decades, Democrats insisted that Republicans would invite a major voter backlash if they took aggressive action to curtail abortion rights.
Now, as a growing number of GOP-led states do just that, passing a slew of bills curtailing abortion with no exemptions for rape and incest, they fear that voters are uninformed or misinformed about the stakes. And they are sounding the alarm that more is needed to engage voters and warn them that the current slate of laws is just the beginning.
To reach voters in key swing states, Planned Parenthood is launching a national $16 million TV, streaming and digital ad campaign. The campaign, first shared with POLITICO, will run in states like Arizona, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, Ohio and Florida and focus on reaching voters of color and young people. The ads will run through the Supreme Court ruling expected this summer on a challenge to Roe v. Wade and are accompanied by Spanish and English websites to educate the public on abortion access in different states, locate health centers and provide resources on how to get politically involved.
The move comes as Democratic pollsters, campaign operatives and candidates argue that the party needs to act more aggressively ahead of the high court’s decision and not wait until the ruling is handed down. Key to making this reality stick, they say, is President Joe Biden.
“We absolutely need [Biden’s] voice now,” said Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, who is running for reelection. “I know he has a lot on his plate right now as leader of the free world. But certainly the voice of the president is important to this. A whole lot more people are going to listen to what Joe Biden says as opposed to Kwame Raoul.”

But they have used that to base the law after it. That is the problem or so I am hoping people are understanding.Yep, which is what I’ve been saying in this thread.
All that matters is the text of the law as it was passed. They can’t go into a court and say they want to substitute x with y. No judge would entertain that.But they have used that to base the law after it. That is the problem or so I am hoping people are understanding.
Are you purposely not understanding the argument why this is an issue? Like I don't know how else to say it because at this point I'm tired and we aren't getting anywhere with the conversation.All that matters is the text of the law as it was passed.
I keep explaining to you why it isn’t. At this point, you’re insisting on a problem that doesn’t exist.Are you purposely not understanding the argument why this is an issue? Like I don't know how else to say it because at this point I'm tired and we aren't getting anywhere with the conversation.
I have provided proof they have based this bill on the "heartbeat" which is seen around 6 weeks. That is the issue.I keep explaining to you why it isn’t. At this point, you’re insisting on a problem that doesn’t exist.

You know what, in all due respect I am going to walk away now as I have shared my opinion and what I know of it. If someone else has more patience and wants to continue this with you more power to them.
I will give him or her props tho. They did argue without personal jabs. So, better exchanges than at the other forum I left.

— If the Supreme Court overturns Roe vs. Wade later this year, it could hypothetically energize Democratic voters in the 2022 midterms. But it’s unclear whether abortion will become a big enough motivator for Democrats to overcome the historical pattern of unfavorable midterms for the party controlling the White House, particularly if concern about the coronavirus pandemic and inflation remains high.
— Our analysis suggests that 7 states [Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, & Wisconsin] are the likeliest to experience political tensions over abortion, because they have majorities or pluralities of voters who favor abortion rights but have GOP-led legislatures who may feel driven to restrict abortion access if the Supreme Court overturns Roe.
— Each of these 7 states has a highly competitive gubernatorial or Senate race on tap for this fall, and several of them have 2 such races.
