Nice try Kansas.
Courtesy of The Hill:
The Kansas state House narrowly shot down a proposed anti-abortion amendment to the state’s constitution Friday that would have sought to restrict access to the procedure.
While the amendment won the approval of the majority of the chamber by an 80-43 vote, supporters needed to hit a two-thirds majority, or 84 votes in the 125-member chamber, for the amendment to be on the ballot in the August primary election.
The measure failed after four Republicans bucked their party and several Democrats representing conservative districts opposed the amendment.
Supporters of the amendment left the roll call open for more than five hours to try to convince skeptics to flip their votes, but to no avail.
The amendment would have overturned a Kansas Supreme Court decision from last year that declared access to abortion a “fundamental” right under the state’s Bill of Rights.
Republicans vowed to keep up the pressure after failing to pass the amendment, assuring the public they would maintain their push for its ultimate passage.
That’s Kansas for you, if at first you don’t suceed in oppressing women, try, try again.
This was way too close.
And it is almost guaranteed that some state, somewhere will ultimately ban abortion and then that case will of course head to the Supreme Court.
Is anybody confident that the Supreme Court as it currently stands will come out in favor of reinforcing Roe vs Wade?
A woman’s right to choose is currently under attack all over the United States, and there are currently 43 states that ban late term abortion, 12 states that restrict abortion coverage by health insurers, and 18 states that demand women receive counseling before an abortion that includes the false claim that abortion is linked to breast cancer.
It is only a matter of time before abortion is once again illegal, and the only way we have to fight that is to elect as many Democrats as humanly possible.
Right now they are doing this for two reasons.
One wear detect and replace politicians and the most important one is to drain the coffers of any groups willing to fight in the courts for women’s rights.
And if they get one more conservation on the SC the country can kiss not only abortion but easy access to BC. No job protections for pregnant women, and women being criminally charged for miscarriages aren’t far away.
Abortion might have a better chance if women would just shave Bible quotes into their pussy hairs.
Why not take the $arah Spongebob Square Pillow Palin goddess of virtue approach?
Let God sort it out. It’s worked SO well for her family.

“Trump went to Davos and said he wanted to cut Medicare, and where’s the discussion about this? But all I hear from — ‘oh, he’s so powerful.’”

It’s hard to pinpoint which Republican looks most foolish following Donald Trump’s acquittal given the fact that all of them – with the exception of Utah Sen. Mitt Romney – showed themselves to be spineless appeasers of the most dangerous president in history.
It was one of the most shameless displays of cowardice this country has ever seen.

‘shOOts down’…
“Mr Bryant says he reached his breaking point with the US military after killing a child in Afghanistan that his superiors told him was “a dog.” Mr Bryant recalls the moment: After firing a Hellfire missile at a building containing his target, he saw a child exit the building just as the missile struck. When he alerted his superiors about the situation after reviewing the tape, he was told “it was a f***ing dog, drop it.””
“his time in the Air Force, Mr Bryant estimates he contributed directly to killing 13 people himself and says his squadron fired on 1,626 targets including women and children. He says he has been left suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. ”
Think…Chelsea Elizabeth Manning (born Bradley Edward Manning)

Why I will never say “thank you for your service” to any of them. Were there no other options for your life more likely.

I confess that there has always been something troubling about the prayer breakfast.

I believe in the Triune God.. This shit I do NOT.
Haven’t been to church in years because of it.
Not to worry. They’ll just take a page out of Moscow Mitch’s cheat book and change the rules by lowering the threshhold needed. Then they’ll have the votes they need.
