20. I'm just sick and tired of women's rights and liberties always being

the fallback to backburner status. The ping pong (as someone above put it). R's will do what R's will do... when they want to do it. Period. Who knows they're timing? They've played a 50 year long game. We haven't. We don't know they're game plan. We know basically what they want as an end state. What each step to getting there is? We don't know. We just know they will accomplish it in their own time frame. McConnell has played a masterful game up to now. And this is why I HATE politics. They DO treat it like it is a game; and it's not. It's playing with people's lives. One thing this article blithely seems to forget is that women are going to die. This is a given. Women are going to be put into prison. Women who are going to try to self abort. Women who miscarry; women who are put in totally medically dire circumstances. And men are going to go on with their lives like they had no part in any of this. Which is why this article can be written like this.
