Republicans Are Plotting To Ban Abortion In All States

[SkyChief]

According to some democrat conspiracy theorists, republicans are "plotting a nationwide abortion ban" and will act if they get the majority in Congress this midterm election, which is practically a done deal.

Alas, the only bulwark against a nationwide abortion ban is the president. Any anti-abortion bill passed by Congress must get his approval before it becomes Law.

Dems are frantic. They know that the next president will be a republican, and they know that means that everything is in place for a nationwide abortion ban - GOP controlled Congress, and GOP in the WH. A perfect storm.

The good news for the dems is that this will not happen. It IS possible that a republican Congress might pursue a murder/abortion ban - a ban on partial-birth abortion where the baby is left to die, and 3rd-term abortions where a viable (meaning it can survive outside the womb) unborn child is murdered.

Most Americans support early-term abortions (up to 15 weeks), and most Americans strongly oppose late-term and partial-birth abortions.

Liberal progressive Western European nations have basically these same abortion restrictions after 12-20 weeks too. So why aren't the far left pro choice / all abortions on demand for any reason at any time folks talking about that I wonder?

 

[Mr Person]

McConnell: we should do a national abortion ban.

Trumpists, repeating their Roe lies: ohhhhh, don't worry, we won't do that.


wtf ever, @SkyChief

I wouldn't put anything past the Republicans at this point. They will strip away human rights at the first available opportunity. They want to lay women's liberty and dignity down in shallow grave. And they will, unless we stop them.

Oh, for goodness' sake!

We all know that a very few looney Republicans will never succeed in banning abortion.

Abortion is here to stay, just as it existed before it was legalized.

There are a few things that simply cannot be banned again -- such as liquor. Or marijuana.

What should concern the activists? It's the economy, st*p*d.

Forcing a 10 year old abuse victim to carry a child. Cons are scum!!!!

 

[Blue Dog]

There is nothing to stop the next GOP President and a GOP Congress from passing a law that bans all abortions.

The filibuster will mysteriously be neutered…

Not only is there nothing stopping them, it’s likely they will do exactly this. After all, they cannot achieve their goals of banning contraception, gay and interracial marriage without getting abortion out of the way first.

You’re not paying attention. The rabid right will do anything to please their evangelical sponsors if it means getting elected and retaining power. The Repubs would outlaw abortion on a nationwide basis tomorrrow if they had the power. What’s to stop them from dong so if they regain the presidency? Which Republican President would not sign a nationwide ban? Nothing stands in the way of such zealotry.

When most Americans supported slavery, should that have taken precedence over those that found slavery to be inhumane?

Vote in November

Realize who is taking away are liberty, trying to steal elections

I don't care if you vote libertarian, Dem

Anything but the new American Christian Taliban. I am centrist, you won't find a more middle of the road guy politically. This court scares me, it's a suoer majority of life time appointments.

Again, why aren’t you all in on national healthcare? That’s what makes this possible in Europe. You know that.

No, the two are not tied. A country (or state) can have a law on abortion restrictions after fetal pain is felt, and then allow abortions unrestricted before that point with the payer of the procedure being the patient, private insurance, or even a free service provided by volunteer/non profits funded by private donations.

The laws make the procedure possible or not. Funding is an entire other issue. Otherwise are you saying that without socialized medical payment available for abortions in Europe, no women who wanted one would seek one.... even as they are legal before fetal pain?

 

[Antiwar]

... if they get the majority in Congress this midterm election, which is practically a done deal.

With respect:

That is quite the conspiracy theory.

You think ability to pay for the procedure doesn’t affect the ability to access said procedure? It’s absolutely about the money. A big reason women have later abortions in the US comes down to finances.
There’s a need for them because many women either can’t readily access birth control, were never educated sufficiently in terms of sexual health, and the GOP, the pro-lifers, are the ones who object to the very things that would *decrease* abortions. Contraceptives and practical sex eduction…
Never mind the GOP puritans that can’t even tolerate medical insurance companies paying for an actual medical treatment, they’ve gotta make that hard, too.

Don't let the loony left stuff the ballot box again.

 

[CaughtInThe]

I almost hope they do a National Abortion Ban so that everybody except for the far right extremists will be against the far right extremists.

To be honest, I don't think the democrats in the government give a shit one way or the other about actual abortions. They are just mourning the loss of Roe V Wade as a political diamond to tout and raise funding over, not to mention to use as a litmus test against conservative appointments to the SCOTUS. Without it, they have very little to run on other then "Tax the rich".

This is the Republican roadmap for eradicating reproductive rights

Legislation supported by a wide swath of GOP lawmakers would all but eliminate abortion access.

Below is a non-exhaustive list.

• Rep. Mike Kelly’s (R-Pa.) Heartbeat Protection Act would create a federal ban on abortions after a heartbeat is detected.
• Rep. Jody Hice’s (R-Ga.) Sanctity of Human Life bill would “declare” human life as beginning when sperm fertilizes an egg, and that as such, those fertilized eggs would have constitutional rights.
• Rep. Alexander Mooney (R-WV) Life at Conception Act would provide 14th Amendment protections—namely, the right to life—to any fertilized egg.
• Rep. Mike Johnson’s (R-La.)’s Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act would make it a federal crime to transport a minor across state lines for an abortion without parental consent.
• Rep. Debbie Lasko’s (R-Ariz.) Dismemberment Abortion Ban Act would prohibit most second-trimester abortions across the country.
