It just makes sense to me for the next move to be a federal bill providing the same protections weāve had over the past few decades. If it doesnāt get 60 votes then those senators will be on record and we can go from there. Best way to do any bill IMO is with a bi-partisan committee so Iād like to Biden and congressional leadership to put that together. I wonāt hold my breath though
Yeah, I don't think change can come from within. It may be sort of like the gop in 1980, which was sort of the intent of the thread. The gop changed when Reagan adopted a fundamentalist wing, and in doing so gave the theorcrats control of nominaitons. Reagan didn't create them, but he just gave them what they needed to vote consistently gop
HBO has a documentary on "the Janes," which was an abortion group of private women. The effectuated change through direct action of abortion provision. After Roe, the dems simply became complacent, and were ok with voting for people who did not support abortion in places like Fl, Maine, Neb, Kan, NC, Ohio, and Pa. The dem voters simply have to show the same commitment that the theocrats show. There cannot be any compromise with theocrats who don't believe in compromise.
But Biden is simply incapable. He just compromised on nominating a anti-choice judge for Kentucky. I mean, we have him to thank for Clarence, and that was Biden's prime. Am I surprised he's still playing nice with McConnell who stole not just Scalia's but also Ginsburg's seats inorder to keep the senate? No.
Reagan got 4 nominations, including one in his final year ushered through by ..... Biden. Bush I should have lost, but he didn't and got two nominations. WJC got two. W got two. Obama got two, and not a third thanks to McConnell not confirming one Garland for Scalia's seat in Obama's last year, and then filling Ginsburgs seat in Trump's final year with Coney-Barret. Trump got 3. So McConnell flipped two seats.
And women didn't vote for Hillary. And here we are. And it may take 50 years to have a Court find women have an equal protection right to choice. And I don't see 60 votes for it ... ever. Obama didn't have that.
