Here's the rub - we can pass all the referendum/constitutional amendments in the states, but if a state's Supreme Court is controlled by hardline conservative Republicans those laws and amendments will not get enforced.

True, but the real threat is a federal ban, which the GOP, including Vance, have promised, The best they're offering is "we'll take your right to bodily autonomy, but we may help you as a welfare mom" as Vance said in his "softened" approach.

That’s a farce

Of course it is. "Exceptions" to save a woman's life is also a farce - hospitals will be reopening sepsis wards, and everyone knows women lie about rape. GOP is a farce on abortion. Always has been.

@LostInCalifornia@spinster.xyz @Notgonnastop@spinster.xyz @starsstorm@spinster.xyz Historically, you are right Trump got them away from "nationwide ban" to "#10A issue" And defanged the radical Christian side of the Right Also on exceptions https://www.amerika.org/politics/texas-abortion-debacle-is-fake-news/

@KuteboiCoder@subs4social.xyz @LostInCalifornia@spinster.xyz @starsstorm@spinster.xyz @Notgonnastop@spinster.xyz Yes, exactly. The voters take it up with the state legislature and it is no longer a federal question. I hope they do the same with drugs and gay marriage.

@KuteboiCoder@subs4social.xyz @LostInCalifornia@spinster.xyz @starsstorm@spinster.xyz @Notgonnastop@spinster.xyz I favor decriminalization. Legalization has been a failure generally.

@KuteboiCoder@subs4social.xyz @LostInCalifornia@spinster.xyz @starsstorm@spinster.xyz @Notgonnastop@spinster.xyz For example, in my ideal world, government does not oversee drugs, marriage, or abortions. These things cannot be uniformly enforced therefore are a bad basis for law.

@KuteboiCoder@subs4social.xyz My guess is that Arabs understand that only a negotiated peace with Israel is going to work, and Trump is willing to do that while Biden played games with money/weapons.
