As polls show voters want the Supreme Court to preserve access to the abortion pill, most House Republicans have endorsed proposals to ban it
A ataggering number of Republican voters seem to think the people they elect will not do the things they say they will do if handed power.
...Republican voters seem to think...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, let me stop you right there.
Because it ia only a more recent phenomenon. 10 years ago if you asked a republican voter if Roe would be overturned they would think it would never happen. They were all for it but didnt believe it would happen. Now they are the dog that caught the car. Birth control, IVF, no fault divorce, hell maybe interracial marriage is all on the table. I fear its going to get really bad before it might be ok
It's not really a new thing, this is how conservatives and fascists work, create a problem that isn't a problem, rally against it, get into to power and fumble it
Okay so, in the article it talks about how Mike Johnson back at the height of the pandemic had an interview with the Student For Life Organization (Anti-Abortion Group) and said “Of the things we’re on the lookout for is the use of chemical abortions because there’s this move towards telemedicine and off-site medical treatment and that kind of thing. ‘We need to be able to treat people remotely, and so we’ll just mail them a chemical that will induce the abortion.’ You know: a pill or a syringe or whatever it is,”
This motherfucker knows Mifepristone is a pill. He just wants to try and make it sound like doctors are mailing syringes out to people. That those syringes are dangerous and dirty and that women obviously shouldn't be injecting themselves with them. He is such a piece of shit and knows what he is saying and doing.
When I think about women’s health, I think about these guys. They obviously know best.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that threatens to limit access to mifepristone — a critical component of the abortion pill protocol — nationwide.
‘We need to be able to treat people remotely, and so we’ll just mail them a chemical that will induce the abortion.’ You know: a pill or a syringe or whatever it is,” Johnson said in an interview with the anti-abortion organization Students for Life in May 2020.
According to a Fox News poll released Wednesday, more than two-thirds of all voters favor keeping mifepristone legal, including almost 9 out 10 Democrats, 7 in 10 independents, and 48 percent of Republicans.
Those numbers mirror the results of a new Axios poll, which found 72 percent of Americans support allowing women to obtain abortion pills from a doctor or clinic.
A number of vulnerable House Republicans voted for that restriction, including Reps. Ken Calvert, Mike Garcia, and David Valadao of California, as well as Juan Ciscomani (Ariz.) and Ryan Zinke (Mont.
The inclusion of the rider to ban mifepristone ultimately doomed the agriculture bill on the floor — a likelihood GOP leadership was aware of, according to Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who voted against it.
