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

[para bellum]

They're hardly lining up against the ruling.

Well you ignore that Lake said she didn't agree with it.

"...I speak to more Arizonans than anyone and it is abundantly clear that the pre-statehood law is out of step with Arizonans.

I am the only woman and mother in this race. I understand the fear and anxiety of pregnancy, and the joy of motherhood. I wholeheartedly agree with President Trump — this is a very personal issue that should be determined by each individual state and her people. I oppose today’s ruling, and I am calling on Katie Hobbs and the State Legislature to come up with an immediate common sense solution that Arizonans can support. Ultimately, Arizona voters will make the decision on the ballot come November."

I don't think this law has broad support. They already passed another abortion law, they should let this one go.

She flip flopped, just like Trump.

What are we going to do about the 3rd Amendment?

Repealing the 19th Amendment should be a higher priority.

Okay...fair enough.

Do you think the optics of the battle in Arizona favor the GOP?

Yeah, Para seems to want to disregard inconvenient facts. He's a true MAGA-ite.

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

They aren’t reviving anything..
it is actually on the books…….you do,b shit.

50 years before the books began (Arizona became a state in 1912) you do,b shit.

It was on the books you idiot….

 

[TNHarley]

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

 

[Care4all]

That law was passed 50 years before Arizona became a state

They also had the opportunity to keep their present 15 week abortion law on the books, over riding the old law, BUT REPUBLICAN MAJORITY legislators shot down the option....!!!

 

[Care4all]

It was on the books you idiot….

So was the 15 week abortion law passed in the recent years on the books, when Arizona was a State. They had the option to keep the newer law....REPUBLICANS shot down the measure, more than once.

Ruling handed down by state supreme court.

I doubt you understand anything beyond cutting and pasting headlines.

There was no book.

ALL women?

To Republicans? No, not the ones who can talk.

 

[Unkotare]

To Republicans? No....

How about to democrats?

 

[Zincwarrior]

How about to democrats?

Democrats are running on Republicans wanting government to utterly control women.

Its going to be fun!

 

[BlindBoo]

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

What rights did that post Civil War Reconstruction era act take away from American citizens? You support the ability to take rights away from American.

Then if the people are not happy, they can vote in people who modify it, or if the Republicans there are smart, they modify it to include life of the mother.
