I said this back when the Supreme Court made their ruling… In a way RvW going back to the States can actually help soften Republican heavy states
Women *should be scared*
I wonder how many Ohio Republicans wives were told by the husbands to vote, no, but voted yes.
>I don’t know what they were thinking, but that’s why I thank goodness that most of the states in this country don’t allow you to put everything on the ballot because pure **democracies are not the way to run a country.**”
He said the quiet part out loud. This is the GOP for you… lol
Overheard at the staff meeting: “We could try a few more flags on the set. Maybe hire even lighter-skinned blondes, but don’t let them talk. And double the subliminal ‘Democrats are devil-worshippers’ messaging.”
>Kayleigh McEnany: “As a party, Sean, we must, we must not just be a pro-baby party. That’s a great thing. We must be a pro-mother party.”
aka we’re still trying to cut SNAP, WIC, and other low income programs, we won’t support childcare bills, but we might give a temporary tax break to new parents so they get more of thier own money back after we reduce the funding for IRS.
Considering the fact that conservatives, riding high from their success in getting Roe overturned, set eyes on Griswold as their next domino to knock down, they should be scared. Ohio in fact had some legislators that began talking about banning or at least reducing access to birth control after Roe was overturned. I’m just glad Republicans are inept. Remember when McConnell practically disowned Graham who started pushing for a national abortion ban just ahead of the elections last year? They know their s*it is unpopular, but they don’t care what the people want.
All that to say they still don’t get it.
> and you put very sexy things like abortion and marijuana on the ballot
-Rick Santorum, R-Pa
Excuse me, what the fuck is that statement?
Republicans: “Let the states decide!”
“NO! NOT LIKE THAT!”
“McEnany urged the House of Representatives to pass legislation…to make the child tax credit apply to the unborn, legislation for women to have access to the supplemental food and nutrition program up to two years after childbirth.”
​
I love that republican’s solution to the problems they created is government hand outs
You’d think of all places FOX “News” would understand the consequences of old men forcing their way on young women
>”We’ve seen this now for the last several years, and so a base election, they — Democrats — outspend, **and you put very sexy things like abortion** and marijuana on the ballot, and a lot of young people come out and vote. It was a secret sauce for disaster in Ohio,”
Rick Santorum sure does have a way with words…
Fox News accusing others of scaring people. That’s rich.
Rick Santorum calling abortion sexy…..🙄
Forced Birth Fascism should scare women
I’m on my 4th year of teaching a foundation biochem course including genetics and evolution.
I’ve seen a grand total of one (1) student out of around 1000 who had anything to say about either evolution or the genetics of sex determination, and that was just wanting to post a creation link on the class discussion forum.
IMO these battles are largely being fought on the internet, there’s little discourse elsewhere. Republicans are trying to create an issue out of nothing.
Two things:
>”we must not just be a pro-baby party. That’s a great thing. We must be a pro-mother party. We need a national strategy… to help vulnerable women because the results of next year’s election could be determined by that.”
Good to hear! Surely you’ll push for access to pre-K so working women can still earn the money they need to keep kids fed?
>McEnany urged the House of Representatives to pass legislation for “men to pay women child support from the moment of conception, legislation to make the child tax credit apply to the unborn, legislation for women to have access to the supplemental food and nutrition program up to two years after childbirth.”
Ah. So, a stealth push towards fetal personhood (so they can later justify restricting access to anything they consider an abortifacient, because hey, if we’re giving you tax credits for the unborn, that must mean the unborn are people). And no comprehensive programs to keep women working, or to give women free prenatal and postnatal care. Ah well. At least she’s pushing for increased access to SNAP, that’s a positive change.
Next thing:
>Hannity then accused Democrats of “trying to scare women into thinking Republicans don’t want abortion legal under any circumstances.”
Six-week bans with no exceptions, my man. Or six-week bans with extremely narrow exceptions. Oh, and a voting bloc that has made it extremely clear they want to ban all abortions. And legislators and commentators who speak with contempt about women who get abortions. And legislators and commentators who gaslight women and their doctors about the effects of their abortion bans.
We don’t have to try to scare women. You do that for us!
Hannity: I would say first trimester, 15 weeks seems to be where the country is,” host Sean Hannity said Tuesday night while discussing the Ohio results.
This totally glossing over that’s what the VA governor & his R candidates were pushing to flip the Senate & keep the House red. Voters weren’t having that either.
Fuck Fox News. Fuck the GOP.
How can anyone on Earth be so fucking stupid to believe them when they have been pushing for an abortion ban FOREVER, and now say dEmOcRaTs ArE sCaRiNg WoMeN wItH a ToTaL aBoRtIoN bAn!!
The kind hearted (sarcasm) Christians over on r/conservative are blaming the GOP for not going *far enough* and are screaming about how the platform needs to get more conservative.
And I’ve even seen them blame today’s earthquake on the outcomes. They’re genuinely stupid.
Women *should* be scared. They should be scared that if they get pregnant in a state like Texas, they have a risk of bleeding out in a hospital parking lot because politicians with no medical background said so.
This is not being an alarmist – this shit has been happening all over the country ever since the Dobbs decision.
Democrats are trying to scare women that abortion will be outlawed. Give me a break asshat that’s exactly what’s happening except it’s the republicans forcing their beliefs on everyone. Talk about projection. It never ends with these clowns.
“Every ballot initiative has been lost post-Dobbs for the pro-life movement,”
Golly, it’s almost like the majority of the country wants body autonomy. And don’t want the minority rule of the American Taliban.
Reminder that they won’t stop at abortion. Birth control is next.
Hannity babbling about trimesters, proving he really doesn’t get it.
This is part of a quote from Rick Santorum: “…and you put very sexy things like abortion and marijuana on the ballot, and a lot of young people come out and vote.”
What the actual fuck?!?
Smh
>Over on Newsmax, former **Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa**., lamented that the Democratic base is “more ginned up to go out and vote generally than Republicans” and bemoaned voters’ ability to directly vote on issues that affect them like the Ohio initiative.

Just in case anyone missed it
Democrats aren’t trying to scare women.
Republican abortion laws scare women. And men.
For the Republicans: Pretty clear the voters aren’t buying what you are selling. Go back to the drawing board and figure out a better message than what you are pushing.
​
For Democrats: Don’t think the battle is over and take things for granted. Assuming all is rosy now and you can relax and we have it in the bag for next year is a recipe for losing due to low enthusiasm (also how to get another failed Trump Presidency to put up with for the next 4 years).
Maybe women are scared about abortion bans is because not having control of your healthcare is scary. The stories coming out of red states are horrifying
Rick Santorum said:
>> “I don’t know what they were thinking, but that’s why I thank goodness that most of the states in this country don’t allow you to put everything on the ballot because pure democracies are not the way to run a country.”
Shouting the quiet part out loud. He doesn’t like democracy or allowing the people being governed to have a say on important issues.
Hannity: Democrats are trying to scare women into thinking Republicans don’t want abortion legal under any circumstances.
So… telling women the truth?
>McEnany urged the House of Representatives to pass legislation for “men to pay women child support from the moment of conception, legislation to make the child tax credit apply to the unborn, legislation for women to have access to the supplemental food and nutrition program up to two years after childbirth.”
Yeah, I am sure the house of representatives will work on that right away. Matt Gaetz will probably spearhead this initiative. /s
These scumbags are just angry that for once the fear>anger>hate pathway is working against them. They’ve been exploiting it for decades, doing their damnedest to make their voters afraid of Black people, immigrants, LGBTQ, non Christians of all stripes, hippies, drug users, youth in general, sex in general, socialism (ie, anything to the left of Reagan), etc. They use that fear to make their voters angry, and eventually hateful of their targets and make them into reliable, enthusiastic voters. They know the power of these emotions, and their entire electoral strategy relies on exploiting that.
Meanwhile, Democrats have long had to run campaigns based only on building up support for Democrats. The ideological battleground has always ended up as a referendum on Democrats and their ideas. Republicans get to attack and Democrats have to defend, and the result is Democratic voters become less motivated.
Democrats are finally waking up and realizing that Republicans are so vile that voters should be motivated to vote democratic solely to keep Republicans out of office. Focus on the most unassailable and popular Democratic positions, then focus on all the bullshit the GOP supports that people are afraid of, and hammer them on it. Don’t get bogged down on things like infrastructure and investment that people don’t understand, the Dems have done great stuff there but it’s never going to translate to the ballot box. Those are things you do because they are right, not because they’re going to win votes. Focus on how everyone’s life will be worse under Republicans, exploit every wedge, get dramatic. Make voters afraid of Republicans, not just so they won’t pull any levers labeled R but so they’ll actively go out to vote against them.
“Hannity then accused Democrats of “trying to scare women into thinking Republicans don’t want abortion legal under any circumstances.”
Really Sean? What, by actually repeating what Republicans say? I live in Idaho, state legislators here openly put the importance of a fetus above the safety of my pregnant wife.
Fuck Republicans.
Vote blue.
If you get pregnant in Texas and the fetus develops severe abnormalities the state will force you to carry that doomed pregnancy to term and suffer every minute along the way. If you die or suffer from complications, that is a price the Republican Party is willing for you to pay.
If that sounds terrifying it isn’t the fault of anyone but the people who worked tirelessly to make it reality and who have plans to expand their mission to IVF, birth control, no fault divorce, marital rape. We’ve even heard some voices call for an end to women’s suffrage.
