Alabama Democrat Flips GOP Seat After Campaigning Against Threats To IVF

[skews13]

Democrat Marilyn Lands defeated Republican Teddy Powell on Tuesday in a 62-37 landslide, easily prevailing in a nationally watched special election for a GOP-held seat in the Alabama House of Representatives.

Powell, a member of the City Council in Madison, adopted a very different strategy. He instead focused on issues like infrastructure and downplayed the importance of reproductive rights. "It's certainly an issue that needs to be dealt with," he told Politico, "but not our top issue. I don't think that this is the issue that wins or loses the race."

That calculus turned out to be wrong, and Lands just gave Democrats good reason to believe that Powell will be only the first of many Republicans to pay the price at the ballot box this year.

So how's that whole border thing working out for you?

You know, because reproductive rights certainly isn't the top issue.

He is right but that is why he lost. IVF is not a big issue but the Republicans decided to make it one.

Anything that stirs-up the womenz is a bad thing for the gop.

I'm still pissed at SCOTUS for fucking-up RvW.

In the long run, anything false with a strong government overreach in authoritarian governments, will not last. This is not what women are normally. It is what they were pushed to become. And then get defensive for it. Intelligent women know their bodies.

As long as Republicans want to control women's reproductive health care, they cannot win elections. There are too many women voters to allow them to do it.

In listening to the SC oral arguments yesterday, it struck me that even Amy Coney Barrett wasn't buying the bullshit the Plaintiffs were pedalling. Barrett is the one who pointed out that all but two of the "doctors" who filed the original law suit in Texas, were DENTISTS, who would never be performing abortions.

Barrett has 7 children. The percentages say that she's suffered at least one miscarriage, and probably more. When Mrs. Hawley talked about how these doctors were harmed by being forced to treat women for emergency D&C's she seemed shocked that they assumed the woman was aborting the fetus. What if she was having a miscarriage????

Mrs. Barrett pointed out that these women could simply be having miscarriages which need treatment, and seemed taken aback that the doctors didn't want to save women's lives. That's when I knew she's had a miscarriage.

NONE of the women on the SC were having any of the bullshit about doctors being "harmed" by having to treat pregnant women, given that there are laws which protect doctors from giving treatments that violate their beliefs.

When the time comes and the west poor enough you will rue what you spout. You depend on males protecting you. And more than that doing it for salaries, benefits and pensions no matter how many other men are destroyed.

Don't look now, but SCOTUS just had oral arguments over rightwing attempts to eleiminate mefipristone.

Its always risky to get between drunken party girls and their abortionist

It doesn't appear as if the court will side with that happening.

I don't think that's going anywhere.....That said I'd also not be surprised if SCOTUS gives the leftists a campaign issue.

You should put that on billboards and see how it effects elections.

It will have no influence since the drunken party girl vote already belongs to the democrats

Women spent 50 years FIGHTING for the vote.

Women spent decades fighting for the right to reproductive health care. They won that fight when Roe v. Wade became the law of the land.

DO YOU THINK WOMEN WON'T FIGHT FOR THEIR LIVES OR THEIR RIGHTS, THINK AGAIN, ASSHOLE.

I do not blame you. I just do not want to die for you. Die for yourselves. Give me my resources without charging me for you. Leave me alone. And get the authoritarians to do the same. Reproductive healthcare is not being sluts and whores. And I abhor the puritan's crap from other eras. Give us our money and stop charging us. You won't.

Sure buddy.

Your disdain for women is well noted

Women are the majority in this country. Tell me how it turns out.

Its not complicated is it. These right wing nutters are in the supreme court trying to get a pill banned. They arent going away and they wont give up their crazy. The only option is to vote them out.
America supports choice. Normal people everywhere support it.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

It's not complicated.

SCOTUS has given the House and Senate to the Blue.
