Pro-lifers who insist on protection of the blastocyst, are pro-slavery of humans to a clump of cells.

You are aware you are nothing but a clump of cells?

If you do not want to be a "slave" as you say use birth control.

Which is why republicans are coming for women’s birth control next.

That is great on paper, but not every woman can use birth control for a variety of medical reasons, birth control is not 100% even if used perfectly (and missing one dose can mess things up for days), and that is assuming all women have easy accsess to birth control (which they don’t).

To which, I am guessing you are against the mandate that required insurance to cover birth control..... And, are probably against county clinics and schools distributing it.....

He supported freedom over those pesky coronavirus restrictions. I don’t know why he thinks someone believes he even supports adult human life, particularly womens’.

The potential good thing for when Roe gets repealed, is its sparking activism like nothing else. With everything going on, I was certain Rs would take back the Senate if not the House as well. If Roe gets repealed, it is going to ignite a blue wave like no other. It may even cause some local States to switch.

If Republicans are wise they will wait until December to move along further with this. But, if they do it before the election it will be a goldmine for the left, it will be the only issue people care about even if the economy crashes worse than it is and COVID ramps up, it will be the main talking point.... Nobody will care about anything else (the media most of all).

A secret part of me, wants them to rush it for this reason, even though I think it would be evil (but it will happen sooner or later with the current court, and sooner would be better politically), but it would have positive political outcomes which long term you can argue may be worth it.... Because keeping a Blue majority in the House and Senate (or even growing) would be a net positive even if some rights are briefly trampled (which again I don't want to happen, but it will, and its better to get it over with quickly so people get begin to get riled up).

Not at all. The pro-abortion crowd already votes Democrat. Reality is that abortion is not the top issue for most people. $6.00 gas will be what drives the midterms.

The mandates are there. If a woman wants to get on birth control she can do so. If she thinks it failed there is the morning after pill. If she misses that she can still abort early in the pregnancy in pretty much all states.

All that is happening is some states realize that tearing a baby to shreds late in the pregnancy is not the right thing to do. Democrats support killing the baby at the minute of birth.

Oklahoma is about to adopt a new restrictive anti-abortion law that bars abortion from the instant of conception.

If raped, you must report the rape to law enforcement as a condition precedent to getting an abortion.

So this effectively stops abortion in Oklahoma and there is a real question whether it will ban birth control as well.
