Abortion rights/access...State By State.

https://www.guttmacher.org/state-policy/explore/overview-abortion-laws


When women and their partners have access to a wide range of contraceptive methods, they are better able to plan and space their births. This leads to positive health, social and economic outcomes for women, families and society. The Guttmacher Institute documents the need for, access to and use of contraceptives and provides the evidence base for public investment in high-quality and affordable family planning services that provide a full range of methods, comprehensive and accurate information, and effective counseling.


My time and effort is better spent NOT lecturing women about their bodies, sorry about that, and instead providing information like this.


As a side not.

Can some of you ask your GOP friends and family what they think of Trump

admitting the "wall" is not important to the Mexican president.

Admitting on the record that he used it as a tool to get their votes.

Can some of you ask them and report back here, DYING to hear what they say.

I dont talk to them anymore so I cant help on this one.

Help me understand WHO is pushing anti choice candidates on our party?

Assume some anti civil rights candidates also.

Who?


Are there candidates running in the D party who are personally anti choice but politically pro choice?

More importantly are there candidates running in the D party who are BOTH anti choice personally AND politically?

Wouldn't it make sense to determine this before we debate the merits?

Does anyone have the definitive source to show this?

What degree of treason does he have to commit for the GOP to impeach?

I dont know if one exists.

Their goal of taking away all social services and insurance planes like SS and Medicare, ending voting rights for non whites, and instituting Christianity as our official religion, supersedes patriotism, we know that.

Is there anything he can do to be impeached?

Kicking the Secret Service out into the street because they wouldnt pay his highway robbery rent rates at Trump Tower? They dont care what he does.

I say NEVER will they impeach.

Primer on how the 2 party system works.

The party in the Senate with 51 seats decides EVERYTHING. Including what is even voted on in the first place. Let alone passing something.

The party in the House with 218 seats, not 217, decides EVERYTHING. Including what is even voted on in the first place. Let alone passing something.

Some exceptions but you get the point.

Who would you rather have in the senate, Bob Casey or Rick Santorum?

Bob Casey on every social issue is as progressive as there can be, except choice. On that one issue is full hard right. The reason Casey is the perfect example is because he was running against Santorum, and he won.



?

I am using quotes because I didnt say this, a friend did. I did not know this or remember it, but it is the perfect example of how the American two party system works and how to use it to your benefit and control.


I could list Bob Casey on the issues, but I shouldn't have to, as this person said, they are as liberal as can be but on abortion, which meant the choice was him or Santorum.

period - in the REAL world that was the choice
