It’s not a coincidence that states making abortion a felony are the same states that won’t let felons vote

In 1869, Congress set the number of Supreme Court justices at 9 to align with the fact that there were 9 circuit courts.

There are now 13 circuit courts.

In a test, the @AP found that Facebook removed a post offering to mail abortion pills within one minute. It did not remove similar posts offering to mail a gun or marijuana.

@AlecMacGillis @kzernike I thought that was a good article. Like you, I also liked the graphic. Happened to download from the online article...

The extent of the Democrats' 2010 wipeout in state legislatures never ceases to shock. Very good @kzernike piece tracing the collapse on abortion rights to that moment: https://t.co/y6u87yrfyU

And the Republican effort to win those legislatures--netting 680 seats in total--cost only $30 million, less than Democrats have spent on individual losing Senate races in recent years.

Many here are noting backlash to the first Black president as a major cause for the 2010 wipeout. Yes, definitely.
But also: anger over Wall Street bailouts/lack accountability after financial collapse.
And the success of McConnell's stonewalling: drag out ACA etc, sour voters.

remember that these people simply don’t consider anything that’s not christianity to be a religion

@PirateChefat40 @TG22110 How much did they each pay to play Hillbilly Titanic?
I’m guessing $20.

@TG22110 Some Fuzzy Math:

Gas is 6$ a gallon ;
Truck 10 feet to the gallon +
About 1000 feet
About 90 cases of pbr
That trip cost them about … 600$ in gas
About almost killed 30 votes…

“I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk.”

Lauren Boebert went full theocracy, and proclaimed, “The church is supposed to direct the government” per the founding fathers.

This is Christian nationalism.

@vigneshr4m @punished_cait part of the problem is many anti-choice folks ARE that selfish. i look @ conservative porn in an academic way (bc someone has to i'm asexual so it's all bizarre to me). there is quite a lot of content written by women or men posing as women sexualizing late-term abortions

this isn't something i'm particularly jazzed to talk about but i think it is important. there is a serious problem with the fetishization of pure cruelty, a lot of which is obviously directed at women, but also children, infants, and fetuses.

there is more than one account making porn memes about repeatedly having late-term abortions on tumblr replacements like bdsmlr

what happened when tumblr destroyed itself is people got pushed onto even more poorly regulated replacements. MAGA csa content is everywhere on bdsmlr

the "late-term abortion" rhetoric is and has always been stupid, intentionally misleading bullshit, but especially now for me. i work at a cemetery with a crematory, and we do cremations no charge for anyone cremating a stillbirth, nonviable pregnancy, or medical termination

we do a lot of them because, again, we do them for free, because these people are suffering enough already. and i can tell you, the parents of a baby that they had to terminate at 35 weeks aren't doing it because of laziness or convenience or immorality

sometimes they come in with full names, bc they were wanted and loved and something unimaginably terrible happened instead. sometimes they come in with just the first name of "Baby" or "Infant", bc their parents thought they would have plenty of time for that. and didn't.

i'm sorry if this thread is upsetting to anyone. but it's the reality, and it's my reality. when you lose an unborn child or have to terminate a pregnancy, i'm one of the people that gets the paperwork, the letters of notification from the hospital, the authorizations and permits

they list the age of gestation, the weight and size and the dates of the most horrible thing that has ever happened to the woman whose signature is at the bottom of the page. and every time I do this, I soak up a little bit of grief for them, and every few weeks I go home and cry

@tomiahonen @IamWarriorIV And many of them are

Three Little Pigs 1/

So what about the Senators? We saw that at least 7 Republican House Members were so certain they had committed federal crimes, they begged for Presidential pardons from Trump

What about the Senators? Let's look at Trump's Three Little Pigs in a this Thread

Three Little Pigs 2/

First off is the Kentucky Swamp Creature, #MoscowMitch McTurtle. Many associate Mitch McConnell with Trump & Trumpism & connect many of Trump's horrors like SCOTUS as enabled by Mitch

The reality is quite different, however. It is Mitch who played Trump

Three Little Pigs 3/

Yes, Mitch is a monster & had caused irreparable damage to America, partly during Trump. But this is more like Hitler & Stalin. Both men were vile monsters, but sometimes allied, sometimes enemies

Mitch HATES Trump, always hated him, to this day

Three Little Pigs 4/

I would argue that the Teenage Mutant Mitch McTurtle has caused MORE lasting damage to America (through SCOTUS in particular) than Trump. But McConnell used Trump to his own ends, and importantly, DENIED Trump what Trump most wanted

Three Little Pigs 5/

The one thing Donald the Duck McTrump wanted more than anything in the whole wide world - was to have his silly little Wall. Which would not have cost much (compared to tax cuts etc)

And Mitch denied this to Trump. Trump even shut down his OWN government..

I think the nat cons have a point on this whole drag queen panic. We should probably reanimate the spirit of 1776 when men dressed like men. Tight pantaloons, knee high stockings, ruffled blouses, and powdered wigs.

This is the masculine form as God & the Constitution intended.

These big US companies say they'll cover abortion travel for their employees:

BREAKING: Clarence Thomas just filed a concurring opinion to Dobbs calling for the court to consider overturning the right to contraception, same-sex marriage, and privacy in the bedroom.

@Kevin01b @watashiwa441 @bennyjohnson Ummm…Thomas wrote this to go along with the Roe ruling…..they are coming after birth control

Ok, how about this. They want to play? Let’s fucking play. Let’s make it a felony pro-woman states for men who have not had vasectomies to have sex without express written pregnancy consent from the woman, including contract for support in advance.
