    There are transcripts of it. What exactly was taken out of context? He claimed to Minority Report style arrest future rapists by I guess thought policing, as if that’s a real thing, and what possible good does that do for a woman raped today?

    Any rape law that doesn’t allow for a rape exception is a Taliban level law. Texas was the king of passing no sharia law legislation. I guess they meant for others, not themselves.

    Having been raised Catholic I have been programmed from my own birth to oppose abortion. It’s a position I still side with - within reason.

    However when I saw the Texas Governor today my impression was of a guy wanting to do a tough talking John Wayne law and order act for the bleacher seats. He was talking complete nonsense. It’s a shame.

    I really haven’t delved into it but that’s my impression. You’d think there are no moderate Republicans anymore. It’ll be years before conservative politics returns to the mean.

    Having listened to what he said I don't believe he said he was going to stop rape and arrest future rapists. It was a little hard to follow I just didn't take it the way it was portrayed. I've almost altogether stopped watching the news so if I'm not current with the narrative about how bad Abbott is and why its for this reason. I'm fed up and disgusted with the constant fighting and the unwillingness of either side to consider the views of the other.

    In case you're wondering, the lack of exception for rape in the Texas law comes from the concern that women will falsely claim they were raped by some random guy, in order to be able to abort the fetus, thus wasting tons of police man hours and possibly getting dudes falsely jailed. So they decided to close that loophole, which of course is a terrible look.

    Honestly I don't know what they're doing over there. Instead of highlighting all the states which allow late term abortion on demand for any reason, Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot by passing a law like this, and then defending it.

    The proper strategy as the opposition party is to let the party in power beat themselves -- something Biden and the woke left has been very good at doing. Now the GOP has found a way to make themselves look like the bad guys again, just on the heels of Biden's disasterous Afghanistan performance.

    Disappointing, to say the least.

    You guys are being super dishonest. He is clearly trying to make some point that (in his mind) Texas is going to turn into Japan, where crimes are actually solved at a high rate, and this result in potential future rapists (who are already out committing other crimes) off the streets. I dont think this is a very accurate thought and there is any chance this actually happens, but it isn't that hard to track what he was trying to say.

    It is certainly easier to track that than 90% of the nonsense Biden says when he tries to talk extemporaneously, so obviously the media continually giving Biden a free pass and playing "raised by wolves" here is just complete partisan dishonesty.

    I am pro choice myself. But as some point you have to take at face value that people might actually believe voluntary abortions are killing babies, and dont see a distinction between killing a 6 week old fetus or a 6 week old baby. Once you accept someone actually believes that, the rest is pretty rational.

    I mean, given the rest of their platform there is really no advantage for the Texas Republican Party for there to be a bunch of unwanted black and Hispanic kids ushering in a new crime wave, so at some point we have to accept the motives are genuine and it just is what it is.

    I mean China allows voluntary abortions at any point in pregnancy, and many Muslim countries have the death penalty for any voluntary abortion under any circumstance. And I don't see Ted Wheeler and the city of Portland calling for boycotts of China or Yemen. So clearly when it is convenient, progressives can grasp that some people may just have different cultural norms and belief systems, and a lot of this is all just partisan posturing.

    Edit: I should clarify that I am not sure that Texas Republican leaders themselves actually believe that abortion is murder. I suspect that a lot of them if their daughter got knocked up during a random 1 night stand would advocate for a quiet abortion. But the constituency they are catering I believe at some point we have to accept are genuine believers.

    I think most guys don't give a fuck about this law, especially if their girlfriend/mistress/whore gets pregnant.

    How about a law that says they can't sue you and they must leave Texas?

    The one law that every Texan loves is the right to have as many guns as you want and to shoot black people on sight who attempt to rob you.

    The bigger problem is you have multiple other states now lining up to pass similar bills. Florida and Missouri both have said they’ll copy Texas bills verbatim.

    With the SC refusing to swat away the Texas bill, if they stand by that choice, it will become the defining issue of a mid terms you were going to crush and kill you in any national election. It was the main concern when the court skewed so conservative, but didn’t materialize, but is now. It will mobilize women and liberals like nothing else could.

    Scoop: Manchin backs as little as $1 trillion of Biden's $3.5 trillion plan

    https://www.axios.com/scoop-manchin-...827a61339.html

    This is crazy. Senator Joe Manchin is a fucking Republican. President Joe Biden needs to grow a backbone and completely defund West Virginia. Cancel every U.S. government contract and fired every U.S. government worker in West Virginia.

    Then renegotiate with the bastard.
    Joe Manchin is not the President.
    He is a piece of shit Republican Senator who needs to be taught a lesson.

    Fuck you, you piece of shit motherfucker.

    This was just such a dumb political move. Mobilizes the other side, takes a position where the majority of centrists disagree, and drowns out a big mistake made by the sitting Democrat prez.

    If conservatives really want to attack abortion, they need to go for the glaring weak spot in leftist pro-choice dogma. Start highlighting all the blue states which allow fully formed, viable, healthy late term babies to be killed, even if the mom's health isn't in jeopardy. Then highlight all tons of other blue states which allow the same, provided the mom claims she's depressed. That shit will outrage a ton of people, especially if GOP operatives do some research and find some egregious cases of abortion-murder by women who simply didn't want the kid anymore.

    Start hammering the point home that Democrats literally passed legislation to kill babies, and then challenge prominent Dems to take a position on it.

    This was weakly tried in 2020, but never done effectively, and slick politicians like Pete Buttigieg basically shut it down with trite 1-liners.

    In politics, if the opposition party hits hard where the party in power is weak, they do well. If they fail to do so, they lose. This was effectively done by the GOP in 1994 (credit Newt Gingrich for having a great feel regarding the optimal way to get this done), and a lesser version in 2010, though the '10 version was flawed because it was dominated by the idiotic Tea Party faction, which held back what could have been a much bigger beatdown.

    Anyway, I feel much less confident of a huge 2022 for the GOP than I did a few weeks ago. Lots of conservatives are cheering this aboriton law because it's "finally doing something about abortion" and giving a big FU to the left, but they're missing the bigger picture.

    I imagine this is how sensible Democrats felt when there was all of that idiotic talk about defunding the police.
