Democrats have made restoring abortion access a cornerstone of their campaign for the White House and Congress, but there are divisions over what, exactly, that means.
Given the deplorable state of women's health even before Roe was struck down, might be a good idea to go farther and throw out the Hyde Amendment while you're at it. There's no compelling reason to deny women access to contraception and termination as part of Medicaid, given that this was routinely available through private insurance for decades.
i doubt she'll do anything beyond roe given as how she won't even stop helping bomb defenseless people from the sky.
You might not like it, but most Democrats will vote for both protecting abortion rights and supporting Israel.
They're a lot more efficacious at supporting Netanyahu's genocide than they are at protecting abortion rights.
Inflammatory language aside, supporting Israel is a lot easier because both parties favor it. Meanwhile the Democrats have to fight the Republicans about abortion.
Referring to selling weapons to a genocidal apartheid regime as "SuPpOrTiNg IsRaEl" is genocide apologia. If you don't like being called out on it, good.
You can refer to it however you like; I don't mind. However, I don't think that your approach is going to convince anyone who doesn't already agree with you.

that sounds ideal; why would anyone not like it?
There are a lot of people who don’t like Israel for varying reasons
Being an American ally and being Jewish isn’t the most popular combination in the region
Then there’s the humanist approach where they keep killing and torturing civilians
America is first and foremost a military complex. They're loving this moment in history because they get to pound out tons of armaments for Israel and Ukraine, and not get put in hot water for putting American soldiers at risk. Of course they won't stop it. One of the largest spends is US militarism.
It isn't enough. We need codified guarantees of an unalienable right to bodily autonomy for all citizens, with explicit statements clarifying that the people have a right to abortion and contraception so that courts can't willfully misinterpret the law.
As a stepping stone to that goal reinstating roe is a good first step.
But also phrased in such a way that anti-vaxxers can't hide behind some flimsy excuse and endanger us all
Add "if you want to put yourself at risk that's cool. If you want to put your society at risk then you need to leave it. Deserters will receive one Coleman pup tent and water for 3 days. No weapons."
If Democrats ever think of rising to the level of "acceptable" we'll start talking about perfect and good.
Why in the gods damned fuck does congress get a say in my medical decisions‽ Especially considering they aren’t even paying for them.
Why in the gods damned fuck does congress get a say in my medical decisions
Because keeping the filibuster around is a higher priority than human rights.
