Boehner withdraws abortion bill scheduled for tomorrow

Apparently it was GOP women that rejected it.
I heard this on TV, but found nothing on Google yet.

I saw the same thing - apparently the R women are thinking for themselves.

Will be interesting to read how this goes.

They're thinking with their pussies and not their heads.
Men think with their heads.

Wait...

The federal government has no business meddling in such things anyways. For some reason it always tries to make it a federal issue.

Republicans LOSE elections when they wander off into the weeds on social issues.

Roe V Wade has been around for over 40 years now, it's not going anywhere. We've had several Republican administrations, a full house of Republicans, and a right leaning US Suoreme court for as many years and nothing has changed on abortion.

Furthermore, women do not like to be told by men what they should think or do. They are the majority voters in this country today. You get into their faces on this topic you insult them all, democrat, republican or independent. You insult pro-life women along with pro-choice, and they won't vote for you.

Abortion is a very private personal matter, between a woman, her family and her doctor, and it's really no one else's business.

Thankfully, we had some Republican women in congress and the senate that stopped this before the far social right Republican male, started another war on women campaign. It looks like we still have a few idiots in the apple cart.

It isn't a woman's decision to make. It isn't her life to take.

As for a politician that bases positions off polls. There is no honor in such a politician, and they don't deserve one's support. They are a low level opportunist, and with no honor, they are the most likely to demagogue, abuse power, and break promises.

Also, in the US, abortion is a 50/50 issue. The illusion the majority of people are for abortion is false.

“Mark it down as a rare win for House GOP moderates.”

Pity that such wins are rare.

“The internal feud placed leaders in an awkward spot, because they targeted the vote for Thursday, the same day as the March for Life in Washington and the 42nd anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, which negated state laws that prevented a woman from having an abortion based on the constitutional right to privacy.”

Yet more evidence of the right's contempt for individual liberty and desire to increase the size and authority of government.

Thank god, holy shit.

That republicans sought to have the vote coincide with the Roe decision date and an anti-privacy rights demonstration in Washington is indicative of the unwarranted and inappropriate influence those on the extreme social right have on the GOP and the overall inability of republicans to pursue sound, responsible governance.

I saw Bpehner and Mitch on network news today and both said they can agree on some things bu not everything. We'll see.
