The Defining Issue of 2024

I wonder if the republicans who are so gung ho on abortion understand that some of the pregnancies that were aborted were because tests were done and it was found that if the child is allowed to be born would need a lifetime of very expensive care. And guess who would be responsible for that? Yep, the government.

I would like to see that in this country we would never have to terminate a healthy pregnancy, but on the other hand we need to do way more testing during early pregnancy so that if there is something wrong, then there is time for an abortion early.

It has absolutely nothing to do with any of the reasons the Repubs groble about. It has to do with POWER!
They want the power to be able to tell you what to do. All this crap about personal freedom is just that, CRAP.

Abortion Ruling is a Full-On Disaster for AZ Republicans

"That movement you feel under your feet? That’s one of America’s key battleground states swinging blue....

"If the GOP-run Legislature does nothing and allows this 19th century law to stand, Republicans soon could be looking at a state where abortion is a constitutional right and Democrats take total control of the state." (Source)

Meanwhile, in the AZ state legislature, "... Ben Toma, the Republican speaker, opposed a repeal [of the 1864 abortion ban law] and said he would not allow a vote on it." (Source)

Say hello to blue-state Arizona!

At present the people of AZ have elected a Democratic governor, secretary of state, and attorney genera. In the state house and senate, the Republicans hold a majority of only one seat in each body. The legislature adjourns soon. If Toma remains true to his word, the draconian abortion ban law will not be repealed and the Democrats will have the wind at their back through November.

The Republicans will lose the House. The Republicans will lose the Senate. And Trump will lose the state.

Correction: Republicans in Arizona hold slim majorities in both chambers — a 31-28 advantage in the House and a 16-14 seat advantage in the Senate.
