“I promise you that your daughter’s prom date is far less dangerous than her senator. The biggest threat to your wife isn’t a stranger lurking in the bushes, but the men skulking around your statehouse—legislators who would sooner see her die of sepsis than be treated as a full human being.
That’s right, they oppose women voting. There’s no other reason they pretend voting “by household” is a good idea.
“if you take the life of a human being, unjustly, then what the state owes you – if it’s proven and it’s true – is capital punishment.” They’re a lot more open calling for this than they used to be.
Despite repeated denials, many forced birthers do want to ban abortion 100 percent — and they’re also keen on banning casual sex and contraception.
No, Democrats do not support abortion after birth. Which isn’t even a thing (and yes, abortion is healthcare). As Fred Clark says, claims like that mesh with QAnon and every other argument that Democrats murder babies, therefore voting Republican makes you a noble soul.
Missouri Republicans hate the idea of banning all marriages for minors. A New Hampshire Republican says teenagers are ripe. A church in New York was fine with a 26-year-old pastor courting a 14 year old. A Canadian megachurch is closing because allegations of sexual abuse make it too risky to insure. Why yes, I do see a pattern.
“The anti-abortion powerhouse has been collecting and recklessly sharing women’s private health data with corporate employees, thousands of center trainees and, in one case, anyone with an internet connection.”
Speaking of marriage for teens …
“Giving up on gender stuff, or Title IX and letting that go away, those are social issues but they are the top issues of God.”
“No-fault divorce didn’t hand women the unilateral power to end their marriages and grab half of their husbands’ assets; it essentially turned divorce gender-neutral, and allowed adults to exit marriages they no longer wanted to be in.”
“Look, let’s just be frank. Women have become too mouthy. As the Black man in the room, I’ll say that.” — Minnesota state Republican Royce White.
“he lives in a society run by women and weak men who themselves are dominated by women. That women are predisposed toward safety and that their nature is to manage children. But because they are in rebellion to the Created order and to the God that created them, they rebel against managing children and try to manage everything else.”
[Robert F.] “Kennedy, 70, dismissed the assault allegation as part of his “rambunctious youth” to the show’s host Saagar Enjeti, saying the publication was “recycling 30-year-old stories.” Well that makes it a non-event, then (sarcasm font).
Now some positive links:
SCOTUS shut down Josh Duggar’s child-porn appeal. And overturned an appellate court decision that domestic abusers can’t be denied their guns. Clarence Thomas dissented on that one.
I doubt Democrats will be able to overturn the anti-abortion, anti-contraceptive Comstock law but it’s a good thing to try.
“Being a man is about the strength of respect and dignity. It’s about showing up because it’s too late if you have to ask. It’s about giving hate no safe harbor and leaving no one behind and defending freedoms. It’s about standing up to the abuse of power, whether physical, economic or psychological. It’s about knowing faith without works is dead.” — President Biden.
From the same speech: ““They peddle a fiction, a caricature of what being a man is about — tough talk, abusing power, bigotry,” Biden said. “Their idea of being a man is toxic … But that’s not you. It’s not us. You all know and demonstrate what it really means to be a man.”
“in spite of the suffering we’ve witnessed and the challenges ahead, there are roomfuls of women in every state, working every single day, to keep each other safe.”
