So all that leave it to the states stuff was bs?
Keep this up! Block it all!
The McConnell Doctrine: a running filibuster on everything that comes up. Block it all. Sand the gears, sugar the gas tank. America may be dead but we don’t have to let Maga animate it’s corpse for their own malevolence.
how long before they change the rules?
Just another examples of Republicans wanting to use the federal government to control others. They only claim they want state rights when democrats are in power but the republicans still want to take away our rights
Start the countdown on Moscow Mitch’s call for changing the filibuster rule… 5,4,3,2,…
Countdown to the end of the filibuster. Just wait….
ReTuRn It tO tHe sTatEs
Fuck yeah!
Democrats better block all this bullshit. And also draw up articles of impeachment for trump being a nazi.
[Article on this for reference](https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5100557-senate-abortion-bill-born-alive/amp/)
They already got rid of the women’s reproductive rights website. This is sick. I hope we can keep blocking them
Ah, that explains why John Thune was whining about Democrats on the senate floor and calling 50% of America pro-infanticide
This bill seems unnecessary and basically just a way to slowly ban abortions one step at a time. First of all, I’ve never even heard of a baby being born alive after a botched abortion – does that even happen? – and secondly, nobody’s executing babies like Trump claims. IF that happened I’m sure doctors would ensure proper care.
I read the full text of the bill. It appears to be basically a rehash of a [South Carolina bill, the “Born Alive” bill, from 2019](https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/apr/19/fact-checking-claims-about-abortion-and-born-alive/). The legislation sounds sensible on its face, indicating that a failed abortion attempt resulting in a live baby requires attending professionals to apply rigorous standard care procedures to attempt to ensure that baby’s survival.
My immediate thinking was “well, this is rational and hard to be against,” but on thinking a bit more deeply about it, what about (as the linked article suggests) a 20-week-old fetus “delivered” without lungs? Or, what about a non-viable termination effort that results in a baby with a heartbeat but without a critical part of the brain? It seems to me there are just too many unintended consequences possible with the law as written.
So I think this was a good (if hard to defend on its face) move by Senate Dems. Good job to Senator Murray and crew.
Next on faux news: “Commie pedo satanic demorats use the filibuster to allow children to be slaughtered! How can we continue to tolerate this madness?”
Filibuster the entire 4 years. Get ChatGPT to generate infinite filibuster material.
Dems better get good at the filibuster.
So how long until they kill the Filibuster?
and just like that Republicans are suddenly on board with abolishing the filibuster
Keep up the good work!!!!
Hilariously enough they already capitulated on immigration.
Good
Tell your Senators thank you and keep up the good fight!!
Well an executive order will fix that. /s
Mark my words, the Republicans will get rid of the filibuster and pass legislation that makes it impossible for Democrats to ever run for office again.
Thank you, Patty. I’m glad I voted for ya.
so much for states rights. /S
I vividly remember the orange piece of shit stating there would be no federal abortion legislation. Another lie, who could have predicted that?!
It’s only appropriate to give it the ol’ mcconnell special.
