'Essence of authoritarianism': Expert warns 'Project 2025' would create a Trump 'autocracy'

[Lesh]

Where did I ever post that?

Rape should always be an exception to any Abortion Law.

My preferred law is a 10-15 week ban on birth control abortions, which covers abortions for rape.

Well mine is to let women and their doctor decide and keep government out of it

 

[martybegan]

My apologies.

I removed my disagree.

However, if they can't afford it, and give permission to an aunt or cousin, who can take time off work........or even a good neighbor?

Nope, guardian or nothing. Or go to a judge and have yourself declared emancipated.

Too much risk in opening it up to "any adult".

"Hey now that the abortion is done, how about "paying it back at this brothel???""

Oh?

It HAPPENED

More like UH, with you.

All well and good except for the pesky fact that another life is involved. That you devalue it doesn't mean society can do that automatically.

10-15 weeks is a good compromise between the rights of the woman and the rights of the fetus.

For someone who doesn’t trust the government you sure want to use the force of government here

The essence of authoritarian -- calling some humans "essential" and some "non-essential".

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Also who the fuck wants children being transported across State lines by non guardian adults?

Pedophiles among others.

The Heritage Foundation — a well-funded, influential far-right group in Washington, DC — has been quietly vetting tens of thousands of arch-conservative acolytes to staff up the federal government under the next Republican administration as part of its "Project 2025" presidential transition plan. One scholar of authoritarian movements around the globe is sounding the alarm over what that would mean should former President Donald Trump win a second term in the White House.

During a Saturday segment on MSNBC, New York University professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat told host Ali Velshi that Project 2025 would effectively transform American government from a meritocratic democracy to a regime resembling Vladimir Putin's Russia. She pointed to Heritage's calls to eliminate numerous government agencies that serve as checks on the executive branch as merely one example.

"The essence of authoritarianism is removing restraints on the leader and making him immune from prosecution by domesticating government," Ben-Ghiat said. "And so some of what Project 2025 proposes, like abolishing the DOJ and the FBI is designed for that end, to make it impossible to prosecute Trump and allow him to commit crimes with impunity."

10-15 weeks isn't much force.

I don't trust excessive progressive government.

“Isn’t much force… “

To you. But then you’re a hyper partisan who will never get pregnant

10-15 week birth control abortion ban isn't hyper partisan, it's what many people support.

Abortion up to the last second as long as a doctor believes the mother's health (not life) is at risk is hyper partisan.

total bans and 6 week bans are hyper partisan.

It’s what many anti-abortion freaks support… on their way to a complete ban

And they lose the support of people like me when they try to go there.

You are the extremist here, not me.

Not yet. Some leftist states want to stop the possibility of buying a new one.

Stupid to force people to further strain the grid when green morons
are eliminating reliable power generating. Preven.ing new nuclear power.

But that's what greens are best at....stupid.
