I'm not sure that holding up the PACT Act for legislative revenge is the winning play the GOP conference thinks it is.

Is it any surprise they turned their backs on our veterans?

Scott, I was worried something happened to you. You've missed a few typos.

If you judge Republicans by their words, they’re horrible.

If you judge them by their actions, they’re even worse.

NO is gonna win in Kansas.

This is a political earthquake. Roe woke up a giant.

Complete game-changer heading into the midterms.

They tried every dirty trick in the book. It didn't help.

“Let the states decide.”

…5 weeks later…

“No, that’s not what we meant!l!”

Georgia residents can now claim embryos as dependents on their tax returns, after the state banned most abortions.

Wow talk about bribery. Why else would GA do this ? They could have have done this prior to Roe being overturned

Even their plan to keep the vote off the General election ballot failed

You won’t see red states putting abortion on the ballot anytime soon

Hoping that turnout by women saying FU for thinking you can take my rights away transfers to the midterms and even 24. Kansas is as red as red gets and women turned out in big numbers, could be the Row decision comes back to bite the GOP.

Make no mistake, the anti-choice movement is going to look at what happened in Kansas and decide that their best path to criminalize abortion is a federal ban.

That’s what they’re planning, and that's what's on the ballot this November.

I believe the GOP has started to experience the “find out” portion of the program
Cecile Richards said that 20% of the ballots in Kansas had no votes cast for anything other than the Abortion issue.....

IN state Rep. Davisson (R) argues for requiring forced birth of non-viable fetuses.

Asked what he would tell children of a mother going through pregnancy resulting in stillbirth: "[None] of us are guaranteed tomorrow. We must accept death as a consequence of life."

IF indeed the Catholic Church gave $3mil to defeat the Kansas referendum then the Church needs to be taxed. They have forfeited the right to not pay taxes. They have become directly political. Tax them.

Eli Lilly and cummins both major Employers in Indiana said they will start hiring more people outside of Indiana because of the abortion ban.

abortion saves greedy corporations a lot of money.....maternity/paternity leave and replacing those workers during that time is expensive

PaulS 08-07-2022 09:19 AM

Don't worry, Indiana has that covered. I don't think they offer parental leave.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Eli Lilly made significant changes to parental leave benefits for its employees.

New mothers, fathers, adoptive and foster parents will now be able to take 10 weeks off from work without missing a paycheck.

A birth mother will also have 8 weeks of paid leave for physical recovery for a total of 18 paid weeks. In addition, all new parents may take 10 weeks of unpaid leave.

The new program takes effect Jan. 1, 2019.


Cummins Maternity & Paternity Leave
12 weeks paid for primary parent, 6 weeks for secondary parent.

who cares whether the maternity/paternity leave is mandated by the state or not? the companies you mentioned both offer it....

It shows that certain States are concerned with the fetus but don't care about the baby.

I suspect the "certain states" you attribute this comment to believe the fetus is a baby.....


I've never heard a pregnant mom refer to the baby inside her as a fetus, though I've been hearing "certain leftists" insisting recently that a baby in the womb is not a baby, maybe this is the plan to change yet another definition.....pete doesn't even consider it life....sooooooo

Critical thinking may not be their strong suit probably due to the underfunded education system they grew up in. They obviously haven't figured out if they don't have the taxes they can't improve their citizens Health and Welfare.

Sooooooo

Would I prefer an 80% chance of being born and having 100% chance of being a full citizen with rights, or a 100% chance of being born and a 50% chance of having rights?

It's not hard when you look at it that way.

Well, since you seem to assume all sperm need a life, if you did not know WHETHER you would be conceived, would you support laws against rape, even if they would make your conception less likely?

The Indiana legislature banned abortion because if the Indiana people were allowed to vote, they would've pulled a Kansas.

"Abortion will soon be banned in the state, but there are some exceptions"

it's not really a ban if there are exceptions....right?

The only exceptions are rape, incest, life/health of the mother. Many wanted a complete ban. You can be sure that Republicans will traumatize everyone involved each time there’s an exception.

So now domestic violence is a misdemeanor in Indiana but getting an abortion is now a Class 5 felony.
