Republicans Arguing To Revive A Law From 1864. Nothing Says More About The GOP Than This

[Zincwarrior]

They weren't even a state yet

And now MAGA is fucked in Arizona.

 

[candycorn]

That's weak rationalization even for a hack like you.

No, it was a comparison of a federal law regarding insurrection vs a territorial law that was written before over 1/2 of the citizens of the state had a right to vote--hence they were not represented by the lawmakers who wrote the archaic ordinances.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody.

Actually all those who voted on it are dead, just like with a lot of other laws and the US Constitution so even this point is meaningless.

America doesn't agree with you, psycho.

I’m the psycho for NOT killing children. You’re a fucking moron.

Their coming for all the rights women have gained since the Civil War.

Vote them out in every state ladies, it's up to you now. Right the fuck out!

Like Title IX?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Damn. Well played.

No, that's fodder for morons. Irrelevant to the topic.

That law was passed 50 years before Arizona became a state

Shouts of ‘Shame! Shame!’ erupt in Arizona House as fight over abortion ban engulfs lawmakers

The fight over a newly revived 1864 Arizona law criminalizing abortion throughout pregnancy unless a woman's life is at risk has engulfed the state's lawmakers.

It is too Machiavellian for the Democrats but reviving this Civil War era law (60 or so years before women could vote) and baiting the trap for the GOP...or is it?

I still doubt the Dems framed the GOP so well but if they did...well played guys. You give us all hope

And so the past has nothing to do with today.

 

[IM2]

you liked that they used the 1870 civil war law against trump though right?

Trump committed a violation that boke the law. There is no equivalence here.

 

[Lesh]

Basically Republicans will do whatever it takes to end abortion rights for women

 

[DigitalDrifter]

And now Arizona will be a tool Dimocrats can use. Perfect timing guys. Way to go.

Yeah...I know.

This is what makes me wonder if somewhere in the bowels of the DNC, some operative tipped off some Gosarian type of backwards thinking idiot GOP legislator about the existence of this archaic nonsense for the very purpose to having most/all of the GOP hop on board...200 days before the election when people are starting to pay attention. If so, I tip my hat to them. Politically, Short term loss/ long term potential gain.

The GOP has a chance to flip AZ. I don't think they do it but it's definitely a battleground state. This hurts their chances.

Nobody forces the GOP to act like neanderthals...you guys do that on your own.

Name all the rights. I know, the right that women's sports remain between real women?

It’s a hell of an example of what’s at stake

Yup

 

[Billiejeens]

Do you guys EVER stop being hypocrites? You guys literally just did this to Trump.

"...adopted in 1870 and was intended to protect the newly codified rights of Black citizens after the Civil War"​

Winner.
CLOSE THIS THREAD.

 

[Billiejeens]

That is a federal law that you’re talking about so the civil war and the survival of the nation were front of mind. Not in the same hemisphere of being the same thing as a state law being used to make healthcare decisions affecting people who didn’t have the right to vote at the time the law was written.

You are Loco.
