So in Alabama, you can soon force a woman to conceive and deliver your child.

Sure, you might be in jail, but your genes get passed on.

In retrospect, it's actually rather amazing that Doug Jones won that special election. Given these draconian, patriarchal, sexist laws they're passing, having an older male perv like Roy Moore preying on teen girls in shopping malls seems like something most AL voters would have no problems with.

It was in fact a very close election that easily could have gone to Moore.
 
Abortion is a made up issue. Those fuckers in Alabama didn't care about abortion until the Religious Right teamed up with the GOP to devise the Southern Strategy, with the intent of legally maintaining segregating schools.

these dipshits get hoodwinked by these people repeatedly yet still vote them in. It's mind-boggling

Conventional wisdom holds that the rise of the religious right as a political force to be reckoned with during the 1970s and 1980s was driven by conservative Christians’ intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade. But Dartmouth College’s Randall Balmer writes that “the abortion myth quickly collapses under historical scrutiny.” He notes that “it wasn’t until 1979 — a full six years after Roe — that evangelical leaders, at the behest of conservative activist Paul Weyrich, seized on abortion not for moral reasons, but …. because the anti-abortion crusade was more palatable than the religious right’s real motive: protecting segregated schools.”

OK, but Jesus though.
 
It's basically the defining moment that lead us to today's clusterfuck of a nation. Southerners and Midwesterners again and again essentially voting against environmental regs, banking regs, UHC, public education, etc - all shit they could benefit from - because dead babies. holy fucking shit, man.
 
I reckon they double down on gays, birth control, pornography :noidea:

they love pseudo-morality around sex. Don't mind one bit about immorality with money, though, so the Wrangor's of the South and midwest will still get off on cutting programs and blocking UHC for the lazies who don't "earn" healthcare and work hard enough to house and feed themselves by just getting a banking or accounting job.

Plus they will have to fight state-by-state now to get states to reverse legislation permitting abortions. While abortion is currently protected by the federal constitution, a reversal of Roe I do not think would lead to a constitutional right being vested in the unborn to not be aborted. The reversal of Roe would just let states ban abortions.

ETA: Wiki reports only NY and Oregon permit vol. abortions. So actually abortion would be pretty much illegal upon the reversal of Roe if my google research is accurate.

The crook party leveraged dead babies over gullible simpletons.
 
Not to turn this in to the abortion thread instead of a fun (scary?) look at insane people on the internet, but has anyone ever considered floating a ban on abortions in return for universal healthcare? I mean, if one side is so concerned about saving all these babies, why not make them pay for prenatal care for the mother and pediatric care for the child once it is born?

So let me get this straight:

Single parent households: BAD
2 parent households: GOOD, unless it's a gay couple, then BAD
No parent households as the child is raised in foster care: GOOD
Additional government funding to pay for said care: BAD
 
Also: giving out birth control to prevent pregnancies that need to be aborted or unwed mom: BAD

Just Alabama and Donald Trump leading the right wing. Nothing to see here. Conservatives are just fine and perfectly sane.

Yep.

Semi related — I watched Vice on a flight today. If even 50% of it is accurate holy shit, Republicans.

Wrangor, stop by and tell us how you feel about the Alabama law.
 
The Fox News website doesn't have a single article on this radical AL abortion law. In fact, they've been rather quiet about all of these draconian anti-abortion bills passing in AL, GA, OH, etc. Of course the Trumpite base will be happy, but I suspect that these kinds of laws may do more damage to the GOP among the broad mass of Americans than almost anything else. When even Pat Robertson says you've gone too far, then you've got a problem with everyone who's not already a rabid Trumpite.
