Elissa Slotkin, Democrat Representative from
Michigan, accusing congressional Republicans of turning the Solid Start Act, a
bipartisan bill to help the nation’s veterans into “a cold heartless, violent”
referendum on the right to abortion:
“In terms of making decisions on behalf of women, if you
want to take a veterans’ bill and make it about abortion, then let’s do it. What
you are saying—and you’re saying in front of the American people—is that you
believe a veteran who has been raped, who was the victim of incest, or who is
having a dangerous miscarriage, does not deserve access to abortion. If you
can’t state it, then be clear you believe in no exceptions for women—a cold
heartless, violent approach to women’s health. You want to ban all abortions.
That is your goal. Many of you have been open about that, and if you flip the
House, we know that you will put forward a full ban on all abortion for all
states. We are all, on this floor, elected officials and not medical
professionals. If it was your wife, your daughter who was suffering through a
miscarriage, are you going to tell her she can’t until her fever gets high
enough and until she’s bleeding harder? If that’s what you want for veterans,
shame on you! Shame on you!”
Slotkin’s Solid Start Act helps veterans transition into
civilian society but Republicans tried to block it after learning it includes a
“requirement that the Department of Veterans Affairs provide female veterans
with information ‘tailored to their specific health care’ needs,” which would
adhere to a new VA policy providing abortion access for women vets who are
victims of rape, incest or whose life is jeopardized.
Good on Representative Slotkin for pointing out that, for
the GOP, rapists and child molesters deserve more rights than women, and we
know this because traitorous House GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s plan
for the GOP to take back the House says in a section called “Preserve Our
Constitutional Freedoms” that Republicans will “protect the lives of unborn children and their mothers.”
Unless the unborn child is the child of an illiterate asshat
running for Senate as a Republican, then abortion is fine.

Herschel Walker knows all about family values, in that he has so many secret other families, he has to know something
ReplyDeleteSnap!
DeleteAll of America is talking about Herschel, which is terrifying the hell out of the Republican party. Whoopi is right, Donham should be held accountable. As for MTG, everyone's waiting for the divorce dirt. And what is it with the GOP's fascination with furries? Is there something they're not telling us?
ReplyDeleteI'm not real concerned about people talking about Walker, I'm worried some Georgians will vote for him.
DeleteCrazy, as always, and furries?
ReplyDeletexoxo :-)
The furries idea stuns me because no one, anywhere, ever, has produced a picture of a furrie or of a littler box in a public school bathroom. But, oy, they will lie.
Deletexoxo
Walker is an idiot. But the GOP will back him up no matter what. I think the Dems are too nice. They always act contrite and quit. Look at these Repugs: lying, cheating, stealing. Paying for abortions while being anti-abortion in public.
ReplyDeleteWhoopi is right. That woman needs to stand trial. May she live ten more years and suffer.
XOXO
They want power and if they have to support an abortion-buying, deadbeat baby daddy and mentally ill liar to get power they'll do it ... again.
Deletexoxo
So many, many bald-faced lies.
ReplyDeleteTrue, except for that last saving grace.
DeleteJust imagine Hershey Walker and Margarine having a conversation; who would get the prize for telling the most lies?
ReplyDeleteI am just stunned Georgians elected her, and may elect him.
DeleteYou, Carlos, and the kids have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThat's all I have today as our country slides to hell in a hand basket!!
VOTE like you are 4 and Santa is coming in a week.
Hugs and kisses!!
Victor
Vote. Vote and Vote.
DeleteAny woman who wants to terminate a pregnancy should simply say it’s Herschel Walker’s. THAT will clear the way for the abortion and good Cristian Herschel Walker who likes to help people will pay for the abortion. Blatant lies from them all. Moronic statements from them all. And they still have their supporters. The USA wasn’t perfect but I don’t remember a time in my life when politicians could get a way with this shit.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea. Send The Bill To Walker!
DeleteAnother thing Herschel Walker shares with Donald Trump
ReplyDeleteOJ, Thing 45 and Herschel. Oy, what a mess.
DeleteWill there ever come a day when we don't have to read or hear this shit? The GOP seems to think if they throw the stuff against the wall all day, some of it will stick. What we need to do is vote ALL of the fuckers out of office. Unfortunately, as our brethren in Georgia keep trying to show us, they just keep crawling back, just like scummy shit-eating cockroaches. On that cheery note, please everyone have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteVote in every single election you can and vote down any GOPer who perpetuates a Big Lie or says the insurrection was nothing or praises Donald J Traitor.
DeleteI keep seeing the word "GOP" in your illustrious blog Bob. I guess that it is an acronym but what can it mean? Gutless Old Parasites? Gobshites Of Perversion? Grand Old Pains-in-the-Ass? Must be something like that.
ReplyDeleteI think any one of your suggestions is correct!
DeleteI think it's "Good Old Party" or "Grand Old Party" but I like YP's suggestions better.
DeleteI always get a laugh from MTG, she's such an idiot.
ReplyDeleteGlad Slotkin spoke out. But where are other voices?
ReplyDeleteMTG is a lying skank. I can't wait to learn all the details of her divorce.
Jensen is an idiot. A doctor, but an idiot. I think Walz has to be laughing his ass off, except rural MN is not better than Iowa... so he has to keep up the good fight. Thing is... Jensen is as good as they could do in MN because all the other Repugs in MN are SO unlikable! And tarnished with stealing/misusing funds.
Walker... wow. Now is Christopher the gay one who is also an idiot? I can't keep all his baby mamas and bastard Xtian children straight.
I have to believe that there truly are more folks like Rep. Slotkin in this world than not. xoxo
