I know I shouldn't be surprised but it is incredible how swiftly abortion was pushed out of the political conversation the minute the election was over

They don't want abortion & women's rights in the headlines cause they'd rather do their evil deeds in the dark. Fucking Dems are too busy chasing their tails to get a coherent message together. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @ocasio-cortez.house.gov
From the right? Because I still see stuff all the time from progressives and at the state level crazy stuff is going on. Battle between TX and NY. GA just arrested a woman who had a miscarriage.
It wasn't. We talked before, during and after. Blame the 53% of republican women (white women-don't blame this on the blacks) who voted for the rapist!
Abortion/Womens Reproductive Rights has been the top political issue since 2016 AND “white women” have voted n majority for MAGA/ Trump in every election….
It's been in the conversation all along, but the rapidly accelerating pace of the twice-impeached (so far) criminally seditious sociopath's dismantling of our democracy is a greater existential threat to US ALL.
PRISON for LIFE with ZERO POSSIBILITY of PAROLE, for ALL OF THEM.
America's largest voting block, white women, voted for Trump (twice) to be president instead of the woman who said she'd protect abortion. It wasn't a winning issue. Eggs will probably be $20/dozen by the next election. Let's hope the Democrats run someone who can talk about that issue.
It’s sickening. I’m part of that demographic and I can’t understand how other white women sold out their daughters, nieces, granddaughters and betraying the efforts of their mothers and grandmothers like this.
They never ever cared about any "Christian ideals." they hijacked any movement they needed to achieve power. They'll continue to demonize anyone they feel they can get away with demonizing, and they'll switch targets as soon as one is eradicated or is no longer profitable to persecute.
God is dead.
It's a pity, because it is very important.
It really annoys me how those anti abortion presume the rest of us are pro abortion.
We are not.
We are pro choice.
I wouldn't have had an abortion myself, but I would never force another woman to have a child if she didn't want to.
Her body. Her choice.
No, it hasn't that was the first thing the states went after. In some states it's still ongoing. The problem is there is a lot of information going on from everywhere, so it's hard to keep up and gets you easily distracted. Pay close attention to what your lawmakers in your states are doing.
Abortion is still a huge issue in Missouri. Voters put pro choice in a constitutional amendment, which passed by a healthy margin. But now the legislature says we are too stupid to know what we voted for.
I agree with the premise that the abortion issue was swiftly pushed out of political conversation, but I saw that happen in real-time on June 25th of 2022.
I think Dems aren’t talking about it because as bad as the status quo is, it could be much worse. Trump has never cared about abortion and won’t make a move unless he is pressed on it. It’s shitty, but we’re stuck here for at least 4 years.
Well white women didn't give a fk about it apparently. 54% voted to take away the right of themselves, their daughters, sisters. I remember laughing at MAGA when they said women cared more about egg prices. They were right.
White men are not even worth talking about unless it's a conv on racism.
I mean, didn't Trump (or his Supreme Court) give abortion back to the states (so the they could ban it)? What are we supposed to do about it? What mechanism or lever of government do we have to push at to get this changed?
supreme court won't rule in favor because they already ruled against
it's definitely a state-by-state issue until SC justs. get replaced, or the choice to rule against becomes so bad for them (you know...the implications...) that they're scared to do it.
It also centers around women, and Conservative women that I know, state that a women’s place is in the home, shut up around their man, and make him dinner. No backtalk or thoughts or ideas.
These are a bunch of simpletons. The ones who believe this and have money are worse. They could leave….
The goal is a country where white men make all the decisions again. They are trying to erase civil rights , women's rights , hound trans people into nonexistence or asylums. Brown V BoE really planted a seed of revenge in this segment of our pop. What we saw as progress they say desecration.
Well as turns began to be taken, the fear of being detained ( whether legal , illegal or natural born citizen) thrown in a hole , denied due process and flown off to a Salvadoran chicken farm, sort of became the primary concern.
For some reason, Dem leadership is addicted to consultants whose only talent is finding increasingly creative and embarrassing ways to lose. I mean, if you can't figure out how to beat Trump after a decade, you should probably hang it up.
As a Texan, I saw it. It was just another “how do we gtfo this state” moment.
Since we’re all going to die of some easily preventable disease in conjunction with being forced to work till our last breath, the only relocation requirement is “I want to be somewhere beautiful”
No we haven't forgotten. Now they are jailing women that have miscarriages. Women are traveling to other states if they don't pass away from miscarriages first. Women deserve the right to body autonomy. There's a new bill that will charge men for ejaculating that's when conception starts 👍
Men really don’t care about women’s health and particularly white men DO NOT CARE ABOUT WOMEN.
I am one, misogyny is celebrated by Republicans. Anything that supports the victim hood of men, young and old, is celebrated….blame and scapegoating is a central theme.
It pisses me off that MAGA hitched its wagon to that one issue - abortion - as the lever to diminish the rights of women and THEN to have MAGAts calmly say, "Well, I don't see where women have fewer rights than men." Misogynist idiots.
Abortion is part and parcel of dismantling democracy. Disenfranchising and disempowering women has to be done as a step in the dismantling process. And they're doing it.
We don't hear about it for the same reason mainstream media isn't covering disasters or protests. Trump doesn't want them to.
No one who matters in the political discourse actually cares about dead or imprisoned cis women. You can barely get cis women to care about dead or imprisoned cis women. It is only the folks that are the ball in discourse that actually give a fuck.
Billionaires can just buy another one, after all..
The way they're going, there will soon be swarms of caravans of American citizens heading TO Mexico - they have an awesome president, unlike our imbecilic fascist traitor of a wannabe dictator.
Wouldn’t that be sadly hilarious! i really like Mexicos president and the new Canadian Prime Minister. Neither seems to have an extra second to worry about tRump
Baja would be a great place to live! When i lived in Ventura California i drive down to Cabo. what a trip. Cabo is over developed now but much of Baja remains relatively pristine
Which election are you talking about? Abortion legislation is still front and center in many state legislatures as they work to protect or deny women’s rights to needed care.
Well here in Mizzurah even though we Added that right to our constitution our legislators our still trying to make it a crime. You're right it gets little coverage.
I’m glad you brought that up. Plus, when R v W was overturned, we were hearing daily horror stories. Suddenly, we’re not. But I’ll bet those situations not only continue to happen every day, the circumstances are probably much worse now.
Obviously American women don't give a shit, parti white women since they voted for the bear foot and death in childbirth party.
But by all means remain angry at the people who were trying to oppose them.
Clearly, you've been paying attention to the wrong things.
American women CARE A LOT - but these lawless fascists are trying to disenfranchise US along with ALL OTHER MINORITIES, so it's going to be a long damned fight.
It's not reflecting in how they vote. I think that a lot of leftists mistake having good opinions about things as having popular opinions about things.
For example the vast majority of pro-lifers I've interacted with in person over my 54 years have been women.
Trump is too busy killing the American economy to focus on killing babies anymore... it's now up to RFK Jr to kill the babies... he'll get the job done... you can count on it...
I have thought the same thing. All the things the election was running on. Abortion, the economy, climate change. Pretty much Trump picked up his copy of Project 2025 and took off.
Once the government has been demolished and the dictatorship takes full control, they’ll be able to ban whatever they want.
Besides, abortion was really only a tool to raise campaign money and get votes. It could be hauled out again if needed. For now there are bigger tasks at hand for the fascists.
Meanwhile we have a woman imprisoned in Tifton GA because of a miscarriage.
Truly should be a mass of people outside of that jail demanding her release.
Exactly and it shouldn’t be, I can’t believe it was on the ballot in Florida and not enough people voted for it. I’m just stunned so many women just don’t even care about their own rights.
I suspect that the reason is that abortion is a woman's issue. It pains me that women are held captive by religious zealots; but, the despot's coup of what used to be a government affects all of us. I staunchly support women's autonomy (bodily & otherwise), but our country is under seige.
It's Trump's "flood the zone" tactic. Women's rights are still in the fight, but evening with a 24 minute news cycle, there's still so much that needs to be reported that if we aren't glued to a device doomscrolling 24 hours a day, we might miss coverage of things that are important to us.
Not here in Wyoming, we are still fighting. Back to the State Supreme Court because the Rs keep thinking if they just keep changing the words around it will work.
To be fair, if Project 2025 had received appropriately serious attention during the election abortion wouldn’t have been so prominent to begin with. As long as we remain a democracy with rule of law other issues can be fixed. But now we don’t even know if laws or courts matter.
All of that was just to deflect our attention from other things. I never thought Trump gave a rat’s hind end about abortion. He’s shown us over and over that he’s a soulless husk of a person who totally lacks compassion or empathy.
And multiple states are pushing to apply the death penalty to woman who have abortions via fetal personhood. A woman in ga is in jail right now for a miscarriage because the cops didn’t like how she disposed of the tissue-she’s supposed to????
I have noticed very few reports on the damage to women this is causing in red states. But then again, that's what DJT does.. he floods the zone.. and we are drowning in his shit.
Get an audit of all swing states. It's hunky none triggered an automatic audit.
Trump says Musk helped him with the great knowledge of the voting machines and systems.
Trump had said he had enough votes.
Little X says hush it's a secret (I paraphrase😆🙊).
AUDIT
I really expected it to be a much bigger issue than it appears to be, and hear much more of a steady outcry, given how hard it now is for so many women in this country to get reproductive care thanks to the Dobbs decision. I'm truly puzzled by the seeming indifference.
Because that's how the left is now. They pick one issue to be the banner, bitch, piss, and meme about for a week and then forget about it. The same thing happened to trans rights.
You're right, you shouldn't be surprised. Have the immigrants eaten all the dogs and cats too? Or was that just another attempt the get the mad as hell vote?
It was never about abortion. It was about controlling women. They are afraid of women. Religion enforces patriarchy to prevent discourse between genders.✌🏼🧐
Midwives are being arrested, women are going to jail and dying to sepsis. No one cares about women. Soon they will push a national abortion ban and jailing anyone that has a miscarriage.
Well when you've got people protesting in front of Tesla dealerships instead of the federal buildings, it's easy for issues like Abortion to take a back seat and subsequently end up having harsher restrictions created on the local level.
They create ruses so they can sneak things through.
A woman in Georgia was arrested for having a miscarriage. She is now charged for concealing the death of of another person & abandonment of a dead body. She could serve 10 years. She was only 19 weeks. Her baby’s chance of survival would’ve been about 5%.. women are still targets
You shouldn't be surprised when things that are much more important like our democracy and our country are at stake. Besides, there's no realistic chance of changing that until Trump and the Republican majority are gone.
You understand why / right?
The party that won is literally kidnapping women off the street. They’ll get around to ending women’s other rights when they have a chance.
Blame it on the MILLIONS of women who voted to elect a G-D rapist.
Abortion will be back in September when House Republicans add a national abortion ban and defunding Planned Parenthood into the next continuing resolution to fund the government. They got the Democrats to cave on the last CR so they’ll push the limits on the next one. We’ll see.
Well they will still get them for their mistress. What do they care. It's just to keep people poor and a market for healthy adoptable babies for barren rich people.
Search #abortion on bluesky. It's not gone away and women are currently dying. Right now the fight is at state level because the forced birth crew won the national elections.
The fuck face was asked during a press release in the Oval Office why he doesn’t talk about trans people anymore and he legit answered “well the election is over”

Yet MAGA aren’t screaming. Well, they will when this administration comes after them.
not that it shouldn't be included in the discussion just that it's a smaller part in comparison to the whole Nazis are running the country thing
You can't get people to pass abortion protection when the government is controlled by christo-fascist grifters, though.
Running them out of town and replacing them with better options is the only way things improve.
Our national history literally showcases this.
White men are not even worth talking about unless it's a conv on racism.
Far right zealots are preoccupied with keeping their hands in vaginas...

*double checks*
...that they replace the government with a new one.
(I'm a little hesitant about the "implications" part still)
They're emboldened by a christo-fascistic governance rn, and the only way that changes is if Things Are Too Hard For Them.
This can take any form people want, any praxis is good.

*I know boys have legitimate issues but women are literally dying or being forced into pregnancy.

But couples that do look forward to having a child are penalized by the state.
Not enough to suffer a miscarriage but to be told the mother may die to because of sepsis?
