13-Year-Old Rape Victim Forced to Give Birth Due to Mississippi’s Abortion Ban - Lemmy.world

This is one of the things to remember the next time someone tries to "both sides" some discussion about the ills of Republican control, and one of many demonstrable impacts they have made in their rampage through our legal and legislative bodies.

democrats had the ability to codify abortion rights as law several times. they didnt.

they do not give a shit about you either.

Love the vote blue crowd down voting. Sorry snowflake but your precious Democrats are just as guilty. Despite the bullshit lies they told, this didn’t just come from out of nowhere. Everyone knew from day one of Roe v. Wade that shit needed to be codified. But naw “we’re to busy.” Now we’re here. Dems can rot in hell with their Republican friends
Ah so the party who should have done more to stop the other party from taking away abortion as an option from this 13 year old girl is just as guilty as the party who actually took abortion as an option away from this 13 year old girl. Got it.
Remember the Obama super majority? What did they accomplish except a bad healthcare program and continuation of the Bush drone program?

shhhh… facts are ugly so we ignore them. obama great!!!

team politics are stupid. republicans and democrats are the offense and defense of the same team. absolutely wild to me that people don’t recognize that.

wait until they hear the FACT(.) that the cages trump used (and biden is using still) were put in place by obama/biden. ick.

correct. absolutely correct. they are just as culpable, because they did nothing to prevent what they knew the other party was going to do, and had every opportunity to stop it. yes.

some day you’re going to wake up and realize that the dnc and gop are the defense and offense of the same team. stop looking at your party as the good guys, start looking at them with a critical lense, as everyone should all politicians.

Preach it brother. One party is actively evil, the other party doesn’t fight back. It’s not “both sides” it’s “no opposition”

Wtf are you on about the other side doesn’t fight back? What are Democrats supposed to do? Take over these republican shitholes with armies? People keep voting for these assholes, our federal government has a very narrow D edge despite all the fuckery, there is no super majority to make sweeping changes.

I fucking hate this idiotic narrative “Democrats aren’t fighting back”, like they are supposed to pull some undemocratic shit to just pass whatever they want? You simply don’t understand politics or our government if you think Democrats are the problem, and not the huge mass of idiots voting R despite, them being extremely undemocratic.

Undemocratic shit like using the majority when we give it to them instead of finding excuses?

Where were Democrats to make sure that abortion was a guaranteed right that a court couldn’t take away?
Its not idiotic, because democrats have had numerous opportunities to enshrine abortion and contraception into law, while controlling both the legislative and executive branch. Republicans are perfectly able to pass their abhorrent laws, but democrats seem to not be able to pass good legislation even when they control the government. Until Roe was overturned, this state of affairs was actually very beneficial to democratic politicians, because they could recycle abortion as a rallying point every single election.
Absolutely ignorant statement. If you think Democrats could push that through you must also believe Democrats could have also just pushed through gun laws. I’ve got a brand new bridge to sell you.
