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.

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.

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.
