Poll in Texas Shows Widespread Disapproval of TX Abortion Ban


Read it and weep. Okay.
I would agree that abortion should be available in most cases.

That said, OP and the article are misleading. A better way to put it is that 40% think that abortion should not be available in most case. I find it interesting that the poll itself breaks out the number of those who are opposed to abortion in all cases but does not break out the corresponding number, who think that abortion should available in all cases.

The poll was paid for by, "Texas Freedom Network, Planned Parenthood Texas Votes, AVOW, ACLU of Texas, Progress Texas, and Deeds Action Fund." It's not necessarily weighted to give a specific outcome, but such things are possible, and this is not an impartial group.
 
Does Oregon count?😉

If they had something for relocation like Vermont has, I’d seriously consider WY.

In light of current political climate, I think ‘relocation assistance’ would be welcomed by a whole lotta folks. We gotta turn the temp down.


I've been to Texas many times. I've been to Wyoming a few times. Same with the Dakotas.

No one can pay me enough to move to those places.

There is a reason why Wyoming and the Dakotas have low populations. Very few people want to live there.

As for Texas, I have no idea why people live there except for oil and jobs.

Austin has good tunes.
 



Read it and weep. Okay.
And another eye opening part of that poll was 9 out of 10 surveyed also agree that Texas politicians are out of touch with their electorate.
Will that make any difference to Republicans?
I doubt it.
Republicans seen to only want to rule over people, not govern them.
And sadly they do not know the difference.

People tend to hate the broader legislative body but then approve of their rep. Which is kinda crazy

He was taking a page from this guy:


We know there is no commitment to a “Biden Rule” just a raw power play. Or, McConnell wouldn’t have filled the RBG vacancy.

It’s just lust for power. To pretend the Republicans care about Senate procedure is to be a silly person

I thought Texass wanted to lead the nation in teen pregnancy. Its always good to have a goal.

Like it or not, Dementia Joey well prior to his suffering dementia advocated for what McConnell did. And what McConell did was legal and not unprecendented.

There is no consideration for precedence.

Only lust for power as I have already explained to you.
 
And you don't think that exists in the democrat party with Chuckles Schumer and Nasty Nancy Pelosi?

There’s more blame on the Republican side.

I would hope that if Democrats get the numbers they would pack the court with 3 liberal justices. I wouldn’t run on that because I don’t think it’s popular. But, I would do it once elected.
 
Equally puzzling how badly they demonize Hispanics when Hispanics are generally more conservative socially
The Hispanics in their base don't put themselves in the same drawer as illegal immigrants. Never underestimate the power of a pecking order.

Partisan BS.

While at the same time you would scream bloody murder if the republicans did that.

Republicans broke the record for filibustering Obama appointees and McConnell stated their goal was to “make Obama a one term President”.

There was a time when I would have been upset. But, as we have already established.. McConnell has proven there is no allegiance to procedure. I advocate Democrats respond in kind. Be power hungry, unprincipled hypocrites that abuse the Sebate rules when it suits them and uphold them when it doesn’t

Calling Mexicans criminals and rapists and *some* are good people makes the accusations about more than immigration policy imo

Sure, I know that and you know that, but that's obviously not how they're perceiving it.

I am not a McConnell fan, however he did not do anything Schumer would not have done under the same circumstances. You are just butthurt that it was McConnell that got the opportunity.

Democrats respond in kind? Be power hungry? Unprinciple hypocrites? Are these the same democrats that rigged an election with mass mailout balloting by way of pandemic porn? The democrats would selll their own mothers to acquire or maintain power. Your pushing them as some sore of a "play it fair class act" is hilarious.

Are you referencing the uptick in GOP support among Hispanic voters? Democrats have been bleeding Hispanic support. I think immigration plays a part in that for sure. But, a big part of that support is the way the GOP messages around the economy. And in Florida the way they message around socialism.

Mitch McConnell is the grave digger of American democracy. No single person is more responsible for our societal dysfunction than him.

Yes, Democrats should call a spade a spade. Like Biden did in his recent speech. Yeah, as for your conspiracy theories. They’re not based in fact. I know you wish them to be true so that you can feel that sweet hit of righteous indignation, but all the accusations you have laid bare have no merit whatsoever
