A ByrdSomething that keeps sitting with me since yesterday's #FL House vote on #SB300: one of the Republican Reps compared this bill to "protecting sea turtle and eagle eggs". He then let the plot slip by saying they need to go further and take on birth control.
It's not just that I find it disgusting to be compared to a sea turtle (I love them, but I'm not an endangered species.) It's that it's so disingenuous. Over and over in my life, here and in #OH, I've heard Repubs say they're protecting the environment. Then they go on to sell that land for development, pat themselves on the back when a new pond is made to "protect the swamp/marsh/wetland", and then roll back environmental protections.
So, no, I don't buy it and I would very much like them to stop with this charade of reasonability
