From The Hill, “The Republican National Committee is doubling down on its anti-abortion stance by urging all GOP candidates and lawmakers to ‘go on offense’ in the 2024 election cycle and pass the strictest anti-abortion legislation possible. In a resolution passed Friday during its winter meeting, the committee called on Republicans to pass laws ‘that acknowledge the beating hearts and experiences of pain in the unborn.’ Such language has been used to pass “heartbeat” bills that would ban abortions at six weeks, before many people know they are pregnant.”
Hmmm…How can this be? I thought with the women’s revolt after SCOTUS overturned Roe that RepubliKKKlans would have been cowed into backing off from angering more women by not seeking more restrictions on a woman’s bodily autonomy. How’s that working out? In fact, RepubliKKKlans won the House after Dobbs — not quite the rebuke of the RepubliKKKlan Party. But whatever. RepubliKKKlans have taken — as completely predicted — a slim margin win in the House as a mandate! This was another thing I got right. Everyone thought that Roe would be the issue to agitate women enough for Democrats to remain in power and to teach RepubliKKKlans to be more cautious of women’s rights. Not so much. Indeed, RepubliKKKlans are more emboldened to go even future — another thing I correctly predicted. (Search previous posts.) RepubliKKKlans will continue to push for a total abortion ban in all 50 states, and women will acquiesce because, as I have said countless, countless times: Abortion rights are always someone else’s problem. So, whatever. People keep electing RepubliKKKlans to take away their rights, and they seem surprised when it happens. Oh, well. I can’t care about these people anymore. Welcome to stupid America.
