You can be personally against abortion without imposing that belief on every woman legislatively.
Being pro-choice is inclusive for those that want to be personally against abortion …..it just affords other people the ability to choose. It’s easy.

Republicans will 'lose huge' without finding 'middle ground' on abortion, Nancy Mace says-

@TonyStark This is so annoying. I remember anti-choicers lecturing Dems about how they need to "make room for pro-life Democrats." NONE of the nuance in your Toot was ever expressed. The national discourse is driven by the media, and the media just unthinkingly adopted conservatives' narrow framing on what "pro-life" means: NO ABORTION FOR ANYONE THE END.
Meanwhile, they're fine with launching wars, denying food stamps and healthcare, executing prisoners (some of whom could be innocent.), etc.
@Litzz11 Those points are really important. We all know when most abortions take place statistically- well over 90% are early on. And exceptions should be available for the rare cases. That’s both decent and pro-life.
The media loves to adopt conservative framing. It’s one of our biggest obstacles.
If anyone wants to be taken seriously as pro-life, they indeed should be doing all of the things you say and more. What conservatives are supporting now is extremism.
We will not accept this. Our wombs are not the property of the state. Feed & clothe need people and stop guns from tearing young bodies apart in places where they should be safe. That’s really “pro-life.”
@MJ @TonyStark @Litzz11 Against the will of not only the majority of American women, but even against the will of the overall majority of Americans, today's so-called corrupt & insurrectionary "Republicans" are intentionally running a despot's mega-truck over women's right to self-determination, the Constitution & all of Abraham Lincoln's legacy.
They deserve to be banned from U.S. Congress.
Btw: How much money did "GOP" senators get (offered) for the confirmation of today's SCOTUS majority?

@LGmedia @MJ @TonyStark @Litzz11 Search for @potus via "Explore" & you'll find a number of President Biden bot accounts mirroring his posts on the birdsite.
Annoyingly that search will also return "president Trump" fan accounts.😬👹
I also wish govs of the free world would flee their birdsite cage & establish their own Mastodon instances...
@ArenaCops @LGmedia @MJ @TonyStark @potus
Thanks, easy to block the Trump fan accounts, so I'll give that a try
@TonyStark @MJ @Litzz11 Are you following @marcelias, Tony? If not, I'd suggest you do, to understand, that he's at the very frontline in the battle for democracy & voting rights, without which it will be impossible for caring democrats to vote the anti-democratic despots out.
Support Marc, the fearless & feared superhero of the legal battle for American democracy! As much as you can!

@TonyStark @MJ @Litzz11 @ArenaCops We can’t “vote them out” with so many voting restrictions in place!
It’s going to take heroic efforts at this point, so Dem’s better be all hands on deck.
@grammasaurus @TonyStark @MJ @Litzz11 That's what I'm thinking, too.
The "GOP's" fraudulent acts to supress voters & their voting rights must be met with the full force of the laws in the first place.
The "Republican" popular minority mustn't be allowed to use fraudulent methods rigging elections to pretend it were in any way representing the majority of the American people.
Even the FBI classifies voter suppression as a crime — while its definition of what constitutes voter suppression neither captures the whole range of "GOP" voter-suppression practices nor is it up to date as needed.

@ArenaCops @MJ @TonyStark @Litzz11 A “Pro-Human”, radical moderate, abortion strategy: reform the system so that women won’t normally feel the need to abort.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] The #humanrights that are universally defined in #UNUDHR make it clear that this issue is an issue of social security, more than it is about a right to abort out of fear or want. Article 25: “2. Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.”
@TonyStark @Litzz11 @ArenaCops @MJ Have some time and care to make a more complete statement?
Where is #humanrights missing the point? And no what?
@ArenaCops @MJ @TonyStark @Litzz11
Exactly!

@SusannaShakespeare @ArenaCops @MJ @TonyStark
"In an interview with the Dallas Morning News, Crow said he considers himself a “center-right Republican” that believes in bipartisanship and a good debate..."
Just a reminder, when a Republican says "bipartisan" they mean doing everything exactly as Republicans want, and hoping a Dem or two go along with it for some reason.
@SusannaShakespeare @ArenaCops @MJ @TonyStark
This was TN Republican Monty Lankford almost exactly 15 years ago to the day:
"“Well I’d certainly like to work with any of them that work with our ideology. I’m not willing to compromise our values..."
Neat trick! Stake out your position, refuse to budge, call it "bipartisan" and hope some folks on the other side sign on. Presto, bingo, shiny-sparkly bipartisanship!
@Litzz11 @SusannaShakespeare @MJ @TonyStark 😎 That's an open invitation to a free kick:
What's today's "Republicans'" "bipartisanship" but single-party schizophrenia?
