Leaked draft abortion opinion throws bombshell into midterms
Within hours of Politico publishing its report on the leaked draft, activists had taken to the steps of the Supreme Court in protest while operatives flooded inboxes seeking to position the potential ruling as a choice on how to vote in November.
Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison tweeted that “2022 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION of OUR LIFETIME!”
“To change this we MUST GROW our Senate majority! Codify Roe! Codify VRA! Support incumbents in AZ (Kelly), NM (Cortez Masto), GA (Warnock), NH (Hassan), & CO (Bennett) Look at races in: VT, NC, PA, WI, FL, OH, IA, MO, KY, LA, UT, SC,” he continued in a lengthy thread.

Manchin and Sinema better be given their marching orders.

Better have drive thru abortions there then. Being a little late is not abnormal and by the time you get an appointment six weeks may be gone. Almost have to make an appointment while you two are doing it, just in case.

Sinema defends filibuster in statement criticizing decision to overturn Roe v Wade
Centrist Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) released a statement Tuesday pledging her support for abortion rights but gave no indication that she would change her opposition to reforming the Senate’s filibuster rule to pass legislation codifying Roe v. Wade.
Sinema, along with fellow centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), voted against an effort by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and other Democratic colleagues in January to weaken the Senate’s filibuster rule to allow voting rights legislation to pass.
Schumer told colleagues Tuesday morning that he plans to bring legislation to the floor to codify the right to an abortion, which the Supreme Court signaled it may overturn in a draft opinion leaked late Monday.
Sinema implied in her statement the Senate’s filibuster rule is important to protecting the rights of women to make their own health decisions, including the right to an abortion.
“Protections in the Senate safeguarding against the erosion of women’s access to health care have been used half-a-dozen times in the past ten years, and are more important now than ever,” she said.
“Throughout my time in Congress, I’ve always supported women’s access to health care, I’m a cosponsor of the Women’s Health Protection Act, and I’ll continue working with anyone to protect women’s ability to make decisions about their futures,” she said.
Sinema voted in February for the Women’s Health Protection Act, a bill to protect a woman’s ability to decide whether to end a pregnancy.
The bill, which the House passed last year, failed in the Senate by a vote of 46-48, with Manchin voting against it.
Sinema, in her statement Tuesday, said “a woman’s health care choices should be between her, her family, and her doctor.”
“Overturning Roe v. Wade endangers the health and wellbeing of women in Arizona and across America,” she said.
She and Manchin voted with all 50 Republicans on Jan. 19 to defeat a narrowly tailored proposal to get rid of the 60-vote threshold for the sake of passing voting rights legislation.

Manchin backs filibuster amid calls to codify abortion rights
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) defended the filibuster on Tuesday as some members of the Senate Democratic Caucus called for nixing the 60-vote hurdle in order to codify abortion rights.
Manchin declined several times on Tuesday to address a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, that would overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that guarantees a right to the procedure.
But asked about getting rid of the filibuster, Manchin defended it, saying that “the filibuster is the only protection we have in democracy.”
“We’ve protected women’s rights with the filibuster,” he added.
Manchin is one of two Democratic senators who have largely defended the 60-vote hurdle required for most legislation to pass the Senate.
He and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) voted against an effort by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and other Democratic colleagues in January to weaken the Senate’s filibuster rule to allow voting rights legislation to pass.
Sinema also defended the filibuster on Tuesday, saying that “protections in the Senate safeguarding against the erosion of women’s access to health care have been used half-a-dozen times in the past ten years, and are more important now than ever.”
The draft Supreme Court ruling immediately sparked calls from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and others to nix the filibuster. But to do that would require total unity from all 50 Democratic senators — support they don’t have.
To pass legislation codifying Roe without eliminating the filibuster, they would need 60 votes, meaning support from 10 Republicans.
The Senate also previously rejected a broad bill to guarantee abortion access earlier with year, with Manchin voting with Republicans

Well then, the corollary would be you have a right to make people wear nothing at all in your domain.

I give a fuck about my preference, that's why it's called "my preference".
If a woman you were with made an agreement to get pregnant and have a baby, and you knew she wanted the child, and was dead set against abortions etc, then had a mental collapse (lost her mind) and wanted to stab herself in the stomach, I think you might have a good reason to intervene.
What would you do in that situation?

People that want an abortion will get them anyway.
While that wouldn't be my preference that they get an abortion, they certainly shouldn't give a fuck what the supremes tell them they can or cannot do, as long as it doesn't harm another....hmmm.
Fuck the supreme court, nothing but gate keepers and power expanders for governmental control.

I don't think the national GOP wanted this at all. This move is supported by 20% of the population. They wanted those folks votes, but no one thought Roe would ever get overturned.

This is a massive threat to the correct operation of genitalia nationwide. They’re fukin with us.
See. The women in only 8 states need to cross two state lines if they want to fix their little problem. That is not so bad, is it?
The women in the above states should tell their significant other no more fun as they might get knocked up accidentally.

Too bad you don't give a fuck about them after they are born and would let them starve death. They have pills to terminate pregnancy these days and plenty of people who will mail them out.
When the democrats win they will make abortion legal and make it a crime to conspire to limit a woman's right to choose. All those state laws will be meaningless and anybody who tries to limit a woman's rights will be doing mandatory time.

If you had a uterus, you probably wouldn’t consider an abortion “consequence free”.
