Seriously?
GOPer’s ARE their OWN worst enemies …
And THIS is NOT following their “Man Man’ Donald Trump’s lead in seeing the policy as way ‘too strict’….
I think there is MORE coming from in Arizona on this BEFORE the court ordered ban kicks in….
National Democrats think this Republican foot dragging will help them politically in November….
Democrats in Arizona attempted Wednesday to repeal a law banning nearly all abortions in the state that is set to take effect because of a state Supreme Court decision a day earlier, but they were blocked in both chambers by Republicans.
In the House, Phoenix Republican Rep. Matt Gress joined Democrats in seeking to bring up a bill to repeal the ban, set by an 1864 law the Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled must be enforced.
The motion was shot down by state Rep. David Livingston (R), who motioned for the House to head to recess and avoid a vote on the bill, The Arizona Republic reported.
In the state Senate, Democratic Sen. Anna Hernandez told The Hill she sought to make a motion for the state Senate to come back from recess to reconsider the ban, but that effort was “shut down.”
“They’re definitely blocking Democrats’ efforts to repeal this,” Hernandez told The Hill.
In the state House, Democrats shouted at Republicans that there would be “blood on your hands” after they refused to examine the bill. They shouted “shame” and “save women’s lives” while pointing at their colleagues across the aisle, as seen in videos that circulated on social media.
The surprise Arizona Supreme Court decision has roiled politics in the state and beyond. Democrats see abortion rights as a key issue that could help President Biden and other candidates in the fall. Former President Trump earlier this week said he would oppose legislation banning abortion at 15 or 16 weeks, a signal that he sees the issue as dangerous for his party.
The action took place in both chambers of Arizona’s Legislature…..
National Republicans….
First Florida…Now Arizona….
First came the Florida state Supreme Court decision allowing a six-week abortion ban to go forward. Then, it was Arizona’s state Supreme Court bombshell decision restoring an 1864 law effectively banning all abortions, with exceptions only for the life of the mother.
Not long after Donald Trump said the issue should be left to the states, the GOP was reeling Wednesday from the fallout — acknowledging vulnerabilities on the twin issues of abortion and in vitro fertilization virtually all across the map…
…
The one-two punch of both Sun Belt decisions will have seismic implications for campaigns up and down the ballot in the run-up to November, and Republicans were scrambling to contain the fallout by distancing themselves from an issue that still animates whole swaths of the GOP.
“Republicans were on offense, they won constantly on this,” said Doug Heye, a veteran Republican strategist. “Now, post-Dobbs, the situation is reversed. Republicans are having to react, and they don’t know where they’re going to have to react … They’re constantly responding, and the conversation is going to revolve around those places where the restrictions are the strictest.”…
This is what Republicans wanted. That they are flailing on it now is hilarious!
The standard-brand GOP and its candidates used the pro-life movement for years to advance the conservative agenda.
Now the pro–life movement is riding the GOP.
What Goes around?
Comes around, eh?
Let’m Wallow….
