  1. Unbelievable how the speaker says “all opposed say no the ayes have it” all in one sentence. Doesn’t even allow a proper vote. These people are so blatantly corrupt it’s unreal.

  3. As republicans far and wide continue to set themselves aflame, we should ask ourselves: can heat from these pyres dotting our national horizon be somehow harnessed for commercial or residential use? God I hope so, because the smell of their smoke is speed-baggin’ my gag reflex.

  4. > Shouts of ‘Shame! Shame!’

    Any of them remember what it means?

  6. The way the speaker there said all those in favor and the no’s should give pause to what  is happening there.

    They are blatantly corrupt as fuck.

  7. It is disgusting how the same people who pushed fetal cell personhood are suddenly insisting that something must be done to stop the 1864 law because they fear they won’t get re-elected. Their panic now that they have caught the car is shameful . What hypocrites.

    And the Forced Birthers who are doubling down – I’m still waiting for them to push for child care, health care, safe and affordable housing, food – you know, the Jesus things, the services Democrats work hard to support so that people have a choice to start a family.

    If these Republicans were truly pro life, they’d be Democrats.

  8. >Teresa Martinez, of Casa Grande, said there was no reason to rush the debate. She accused Democrats of “screaming at us and engaging in extremist and insurrectionist behavior on the House floor.”

    See how hard they try to make insurrection mean everything and thus nothing. They do this because focus groups have shown them Republicans being labeled as insurrectionists is general election poison.

  10. Is the GOP stupid or something? The Democrats are doing them a favor by repealing this law and they say “No!”.

  11. > “In my opinion, removing healthy babies from healthy mothers is not health care nor reproductive care. Pregnancy is not an illness. It should be celebrated. It is an abortion that terminates life.”

    Why would anyone care what this woman’s opinion is? Is she a doctor?

  12. Doctors found guilty of supporting abortion get a choice if found guilty – either 2-5 years OR a ***duel with the sheriff***

  13. A woman’s life is ALWAYS at risk during a pregnancy. There are many complications that can occur. The fact no one even mentions this makes any “exceptions,” idiotic.

  14. These delusional fools prayed on a circle at the congressional seal on the floor.

  15. I know some women support this shit. But all I see in this photo is a bunch of white men.

    The most infuriating part of this for me is that I bet these dudes wouldn’t wear masks during a global pandemic.

  16. Note that this motion is directly at odds with Trump’s position on the Arizona abortion ban.

    Their internal, ideologically and strategically irreconcilable factions will have an increasingly difficult time papering over their cracks.

  17. Imagine supporting an abortion ban law that was passed decades before women even had the right to vote. Talk about a bad look for Arizona Republicans. This will turn the state blue for sure.

  19. I always get a laugh out of these people trying to shame the GOP. They been proving for 45 years that they have no shame.

  20. AZ 1864 law also allows a 10 yr old to give consent. Will this law be enforced?

  21. > Republican state Rep. Teresa Martinez, of Casa Grande, said there was no reason to rush the debate. She accused Democrats of “screaming at us and engaging in extremist and insurrectionist behavior on the House floor.”

    I see the concerted attempt to weaken the meaning of the word “insurrection” continues.

    Also, LOL at a Republican calling anyone else extremist.

  22. The Republican party needs to rebrand from the elephant to the Ouroboros

  23. Good ol Arizona continues their fight to pretend it’s 1960 and everything is just fine for our Christian brothers and sisters in our completely unregulated state.

    Hey we need to regulate water use, busnisses are driving the water table below residential well depths Nope

    Hey, we need to remove a medical procedure that saves lives using a law from 160 years ago to undo the legal protections enshrined in our local legislatures. Sure !!

    So important these GOP clowns get voted out of office for being unAmerican.

  24. It’s a red state, so this ban is no surprise. Just make sure you never spend any money in Arizona again, and tell any Arizona friends it’s time to move somewhere decent.

  25. How I wish that we could start some sort of national trust fund to get ALL WOMEN WHO WANT TO LEAVE these states the hell out of Dodge!!

    Then they could look around at the sausage party they created. Congratulations, no more abortion!!

  26. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a dog actually catches the car, stay tuned!

  27. We may have just seen Trump lose Arizona. 

    Removing freedoms from people is the surest way to insure they will vote in force. 

  28. Is this where they speak in tongues ? Confusing. (non american btw)
