Professional Democrats Suck at Their Jobs: The Brooklyn Democratic Party Edition
Fortunately, it’s not like rank-and-file Democrats care about abortion (boldface mine): Brooklyn’s Democratic Party tapped a candidate for a New York judgeship who previously wrote about her opposition to Roe. v. Wade. Now, she could be asked to rule on … Continue reading

How Do We Fix Abortion in Idaho?
First, this from Jessica Valenti (boldface mine): As you know, Idaho’s Supreme Court upheld the state’s abortion ban—but they also offered some ‘clarifications’ on law that aren’t likely to do anything other than further confusion and suffering. For example, Idaho’s … Continue reading

Herschel Walker’s Abortion Was Not Slutty. Yours Still Is Though.
In case you hadn’t heard, Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker appears to have asked a pregnant girlfriend to have an abortion. There are literally receipts (and one of his sons, who’s kind of a right wing nutjob, melted down … Continue reading

Your Abortion Is Slutty, Mine Is Not
Well, not mine, since I’m a cishet male. Anyway, there’s an excellent piece by Leah Hampton that gets at the hypocrisy of anti-legal and safe abortion conservatives (boldface mine): The crux of my newfound doubt about Roe is the “everyone” … Continue reading

Republicans to Attempt to Ban Abortion in the U.S. Today

Let’s Not Fall Into the Same Abortion Trap
I’m worried that the focus on all of the pregnancy care problems Republican abortion bans have created, along with other care having nothing to do with pregnancy–and which are real and serious problems–ultimately will give Republicans an out. Yes, the … Continue reading

Sensible Democrats Are So Close
But still not getting it. In response to the anger by ‘activists’ rank-and-file Democrats over the Biden administration’s mealymouth and slow response* to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, former Obama White House official Jennifer Palmieri has thoughts (boldface mine): … Continue reading

An Ultimate (Judicial) Veto Point
Of a sort. Looking at the reaction to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh being heckled by protestors while dining at Morton’s Steakhouse (lots of ‘dining at Morton’s isn’t a right enumerated in the Constitution’ jokes, along with a healthy dose … Continue reading

Is Abortion Different?
Pessimists, and they should be distinguished from the skeptical, not especially optimistic types like me, have an advantage in political prognostication: because many things don’t work out as expected (such is life) and because times are pretty bad right now, … Continue reading

Yelling at Professional Democrats Works
Sometimes, anyway. It turns out that having much of the Democratic Party, including (and especially) the normies, yelling at Democrats to codify abortion rights actually works (boldface mine): President Joe Biden gave his strongest response yet to the U.S. Supreme … Continue reading
