When the heat was on and the Left was seething, Republicans passed a very reasonable 15 week abortion ban that was broadly popular enough to give the Left 0 benefit and 0 backlash.
-
Then just recently, now that the Right has consolidated more power and allowed the Left to waste their energy & credibility on dumb shit like "don't say gay" and banning porn books from schools, the Republicans come in with: "15 weeks? Let's do 6 weeks instead with exceptions for rape, incest and human trafficking" switching Florida from one of the more moderate restrictions to one of the most strict short of a ban.
And you know what? It's barely in the news. 0 backlash. There is no much other shit going on that this went right under the news cycle, and Democrats have already been seething so much over every little thing in Florida because they're desperate to stop DeSantis, that their REEEEing over this is just background noise.
This is how you win at politics. You win the battles you can win and move the front lines forward without overextending like many Rs did last year and got backlash, then you wait for your time to strike and you get it done. Politics is a game of propaganda, momentum, and timing.
I'm glad at least 1 state in this country has figured that out.
I'd tell all Republicans to get EVERY legislation done NOW as Democrats and their NPCs are too busy jerking themselves off to Trump surrendering to the court right now.
You could empty all the illegals to Antarctica with how much attention they are paying everything else right now!
That's what Idaho is doing. Just in the past week, fixes to abortion law to take away lefty talking points, creating the way for parents to sue schools for queer theory crap, banning sanctuary cities, and setting up to protect farmland from eminent domain.
Seems like the perfect opportunity, do everything now so when this BS show comes to an end, the left go:
"That went nowhere, wait why am i now longer able to teach? Why is everyone packing heat in the open? Why is there no longer mail in voting and everything is more dependent on signature matching!?"
It is definitely a good time to strike since Democrats have oReAnEg mAn on the brain
A less trusting person might wonder if the Mockingbird media has been instructed to lay off DeSantis because he's their only hope to beat Trump for the nomination.
But with how easy it is for them to steal elections, maybe they don't even think about that sort of thing.
muh rape muh incest
Now let's see what they do to Disney.
This is going to be bad for DeSantis if he runs for president in the general.
Maybe he's more concerned about winning the primary. He should be.
But it's still very bad.
Not at all. A total ban might have been a problem, but 6 weeks, while on the aggressive side, is still a compromise position. I think the "median" position would be more like 8-9 weeks.
My opinion is that the Florida Republicans calculated that they had more to gain from this with the base, than they had to lose. It's easy to get upset about a total ban, but 6 weeks with carve-outs for every possible "sympathy" case? Seems like a strong position to take politically.
No, in reality the woman just says it and they don't dare question it.
That's why libtards love rape and incest exceptions, because any woman willing to kill a baby late is obviously also willing to check a box to lie about rape to get her late abortion. And if anyone pushes back, the libs will go nuclear.
They wouldn't even care to accuse an innocent man of wrong doing so that they can participate in their religious sacrament.
You were crying about Lindsey Graham's 20 week ban just a while back. Now 6 weeks is suddenly OK. 6 weeks is crazy. No one's going to like that. You barely know you're pregnant at 6 weeks.
BTW, Lindsey Graham also opposed that RESTRICT Act, so you're more Neocon than the Pope...
They gain absolutely nothing. And it actively hurts DeSantis in the general, which undermines claims of electability and particularly your claims of a 49-state landslide if he is nominated.
Yeah, they at least did that right.
No, I was not. While I am pro-abortion, I'm only pro-abortion because abortions eliminate potential criminals and other people who are a net drain on society. I don't give the slightest shit about any of the libtards' emotional arguments or "muh rights" and sympathize with the pro-life side because they are at least principled.
Huh? Most people know for sure within 2 weeks when they miss a period. Most people understand how cum in pussy results in pregnancy and get pregnancy tests.
Pro-abortion advocates claim that 30% of women don't know until 6 weeks, and 20% after 7 weeks. I don't trust that data since it's driven by an agenda, but let's take it as true for the sake of argument: it means at least 70% of women are minimally responsible.
Florida women will need to be more responsible about noticing how pregnancy works, or lie and claim to have been raped.
Wrong again, you just can't stop being wrong, can you? I never said I would vote for the restrict act - I just pointed out it was being lied about, which is true.
And as for Graham, the dumbass SPONSORED IT and then after the internet and media had a huge backlash, the absolute idiot got called out and tripped over himself and pretended to not know what was going on like Joe Biden. Obviously, he noped out like a bitch after the backlash & wasn't prepared to give any face-saving explanation, & didn't want to say the truth, so he pretended like he didn't even know he sponsored it. As if the dude just sponsors major legislation without knowing it. lol.
Disagree. DeSantis needs to shore up his right wing cred for the primary with social conservatives.
Again, disagree, nobody is going to give a shit. Maybe they would if it was a total ban.
And DeSantis is going to win in a Reagan-like landslide.
What you struggle to understand is that the only way for the moderate faction in your home country to win ever again is a resurgence of the American Right, and we're primed for it if we have actual leadership.
You might not like 6 weeks, but the only way you'll get sub-20 is if we win this battle and hold the ground.
No one should be forced to bring a deformed or brain damaged child into the world.
I couldn’t care less if the ban was 6 weeks or 15, but there are some fatal diseases that you can only find at week 32. As in, “Woops your baby doesn’t have lungs” or “most of the brain is missing.”
Florida previously allowed abortion in the case of terminal deformity, so hopefully that provision is still there.
So my basic understanding of biology tells me babies in those situations would not survive. But anyway: "The bill prohibits abortions if the gestational age of the fetus is more than 6 weeks, and retains the medical and fatal fetal anomaly exceptions. The bill adds an exception for rape and incest if the fetus is less than 15 weeks of age and the woman seeking the abortion provides certain documentation."
I wonder whether the useless bastard will ever do something about corporates abusing ESG to escape sex discrimination laws for not hiring men.
The answer is no, he only takes fights where the establishment lets him win.
What are you whining about now, you worthless sperg?
