[WEATHER53]

Libs live in 1864 because it allows constant reference to slavery

Just because Arizona wants to make abortion illegal according to a law passed in 1864 does not mean that they support other laws that were in effect back then.

The democrats are lying? What a surprise.

Nah, your age showing. The dems lie no more than the GOP, Unka, which is always.

 

[boevans]

See you all in court on Monday.

The democrats are lying? What a surprise.

Nope. They are being absolutely accurate. You MAGAs are going to reap the election whirlwind.

Nope. They are being absolutely accurate. You MAGAs are going to reap the election whirlwind.

"You" what?

 

[MarcATL]

The worst part is Republicans are still supporting it

They can't deny it, not if they're honest.

 

[Zincwarrior]

"You" what?

MAGAs. This is on the MAGA Party.

 

[Zincwarrior]

MAGAs. This is on the MAGA Party.

Florida
Texas
Alabama
Ohio
Arkansas
Louisiana
Arizona

MAGAs did this. Reap the whirlwind.

 

[Unkotare]

MAGAs. This is on the MAGA Party.

Were you directing your comments towards me?

Every person on the planet throughout human history started off as a couple cells. Every single one.

Your point? You're going to lose, incel.

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

No, Republicans managed to screw up all on their own.

Republicans are incapable of sound, responsible governance.

That may be the case.

I was just saying/hoping that the DNC was playing this four dimensional chess.

The Democrats are attempting to use an amendment to the Constitution designed to punish Confederate officers against Trump. So, there's that.

Um…I thought many on the right in Arizona were outraged over it…was I mishearing ?

Democrats oppose Republicans increasing the authority of the state at the expense of individual liberty.

This is yet another issue where Republicans are wrong and at odds with the will of the people.

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.

Not even state law. Arizona didn’t become a state until 1911. That was a territorial law written by a circuit court judge.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

They were told the facts
They ruled by feelings and suppositions

Looks more like you’re ruled by feelings and supposition rather than reality.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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.

No one voted on it.

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.

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

Only when it became politically inconvenient.
