  1. This needs to be on the front page every day. This is absurd.

  2. As well they should. This was well played by the Democrats.. The other day I mentioned the Senate Republicans should vote “yes” and let them kick it down to the House.

    Make it Mike Johnson and the House Republican’s problem. Scream on Fox News about how Republicans support contraception, showing clips of the Senate vote, whilst Johnson kills it quietly in the House.

    Fox could then conveniently not report on that fact. Maybe they’ll acknowledge it in a chyron three weeks later, whilst they’re going on about the border. It’s not like their viewers read.

  3. Good. Put them on headlines. Make the normie public wake-up.

  5. The dystopian theocratic hellscape GOP wants to create needs to be stopped.

  6. >This is a show vote. It’s not serious,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said, according to CNN. “Plus, it’s a huge overreach. It doesn’t make any exceptions for conscience… It’s a phony vote because contraception, to my knowledge, is not illegal. It’s not unavailable.”

    Gee, where have I heard this before? Oh that’s right:

    >Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said much the same in her own debate. She said the odds of Roe being overturned were “very minimal.”
    “I don’t see that happening,” she said. “Truly, I don’t see that happening.”

    >Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), said they had become convinced that the justices they were voting for wouldn’t overturn Roe.

    >“Well, I don’t think anybody is going to overturn Roe v. Wade,” – Orrin Hatch (R)

    >“Roe v. Wade is not going to be overturned,” he said. “We all know that.” – Chris Collins (R – NY)

    >“You follow precedent and if Roe v. Wade is the law of the land — I suspect that he will follow precedent,” “I don’t expect any big changes.” – Fox News host Jeanine Pirro

    >”The liberal line is always that Roe hangs by a judicial thread, and one more conservative Justice will doom it. Yet Roe still stands after nearly five decades. Our guess is that this will be true even if President Trump nominates another Justice [Neil M.] Gorsuch.” – Wall Street Journal Editorial Board.

  7. If you want a future for the women and girls in your life where their right to make decisions about their bodies and sexual health continues to get fucking raped back to 1800 on bullshit witch trial legal arguments by conservative movement zealots, don’t vote. Or vote for Trump and Republicans, it’s the same thing. America is up against the wall and staring down a barrel with the hand of fascism on the trigger.

  8. They need to have billboards in all their districts for this and for every opposing vote that they now claim credit for the benefit of.

  9. Slippery slope to legalized rape (as seen in other theocracies)…

    1) Overturn RvW (state’s rights)

    2) States criminalize abortion (to support biblical passages)

    3) States outlaw contraception (misinformation about it being akin to abortion)

    4) More states outlaw contraception (in support of biblical passages, it prevents pregnancy)

    5) States restrict domestic rape cases (biblical passages about spilling seed)

  10. What on Earth would the federal government have to do with contraceptives? What power in the Constitution would that fall under? Interstate commerce or something?

  11. Young people should be very concerned. John Barrasso is a doctor. Shame on him and the other Republican clowns. These people were not sent to Washington to take women’s rights away.

  12. It’s up to Dems to make sure voters know that the rights to contraception and abortion are on the ballot in November.

  13. This is exactly the right thing to do and I want to see more of it

  16. I was downvoted for saying that Rethugs were going to go after contraceptives (Griswold), same sex marriage, no fault divorce, snd many more things.

    The guy that ran for LT governor of Minnesota openly said that abortion allows women a greater ability to have a career.

  17. Imagine how insane this would have been just 5 years ago, before roe v wade was overturned. Literally not even abortion, just people who want to prevent pregnancy altogether. Insane.

  18. This type of voting is why The Handmaid’s Tale is more reality TV than fiction

  19. Biden Campaign Names and Shames Republicans Who Voted to Block Access to Drugs that Reduce Acne, Migraines, and Lower the risk of Endometrial and Ovarian Cancers.

  20. >“This is a show vote. It’s not serious,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said, according to CNN. “Plus, it’s a huge overreach. It doesn’t make any exceptions for conscience… It’s a phony vote because contraception, to my knowledge, is not illegal. It’s not unavailable.”

    It is a desperate attempt. We saw Schumer do the same thing with an abortion bill after Roe v Wade was overturned.

    Where was this bill or an abortion years or decades before Roe v Wade was overturned?

    There was fifty years of conservatives pushing to overturn Roe while politicians and voters were complacent.

  21. Braun is running for governor, so he is creeping around. Can’t say I’m surprised about Young.

  22. A bunch of former Confederates and flyover states.

    I’m shocked, I swear.

  23. Of course Ron Johnson would be on the list. What a complete asshat
