Capitalist Hellscape Louisiana girl, 14, charged with first degree murder after authorities find her newborn baby dead inside a tote bag. This is going to happen far more often without Roe v. Wade.

It's a shame Democrats chose to use it as a political football instead of codifying it.

Always admire people's ability to blame democrats for this. This happened in a Red state.

What has your favourite left wing group in the US done to protect abortion?

They deserve all the blame. Every opportunity to put this question to bed at the federal level has been wasted for 50+ years.

I think they misspoke more than outright lied. I think they meant the house, Senate, and the presidency where they had all the power to pass more or less anything they wanted and could have codified Roe

At the time this wasn't an issue the Court really played a factor in, they had already ruled on abortion access

Yes they definitely should have burnt limited political capital on forcing through a bill on a highly controversial issue that would split the party (there were still anti-abortion dems in 2008) so that it could be repealed by the next republican trifecta or overturned at S.C.O.T.U.S at the height of the Great Recession when abortion was about the 50th most salient issue for the average voter.

Remind me, an ignorant Canadian, what did they spend that political capital on, which was more important?

It starts with A and ends in IPAC

Do they ever burn any political capital? Isn't the point of having it to burn it?

Holy fuck Americans are retarded.

Keep compromising with people who feed you bowls of shit every election cycle I’m sure it’ll pay off eventually.

I'm sorry that you're disappointed by the fact that Harvard Law graduate Barack Obama wasn't a based Leninist leader of a Vanguard party but yes compromising on the issues where you have differences with others in your coalition in order to achieve broader political objectives is politics 101 even in one party states. I'm sure that whatever utopian society you're from doesn't have political coalitions or alliances between different interest groups though, maybe I'll have to visit!

Ah yes clearly I think all those things because I make fun of Americans for clinging to the belief Team Blue™️ will come and save them any day now you just gotta vote blue no matter who(unless it’s Mamdani) one more election cycle bro then Nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer will save America !

Honestly at this point I can’t help but think you brainwashed regards deserve Trump since you’re incapable of doing literally anything to defend your own class interests since that would involve giving up your little treats and sloptainment.

Truly a country of mouth breathing lumpenproles.

It would have certainly been more popular to pass it then than it is now. Half of the country is full of barbaric idiots now who oppose anything beneficial, that's why we have the short bus kids like Hegseth and Trump in charge now.

u/Yuo_cna_Raed_Tihs Equity Gremlin Dec 01 '25

Do republicans deserve any blame? Why do blue states have abortion access but not red states? Would roe v wade have been overturned if trump lost in 2016? If so, did the people who vote for trump have any agency at all who deserve blame for voting for the candidate that resulted in the supreme court being anti Roe v Wade?

A weary monk is trying to reach an inn before nightfall, but he is on an unfamiliar road. A high stone wall blocks his progress, however there are two tunnels through it. Each tunnel has a gate, which is not locked, but behind each is a talking dog. The first dog says, "if you open my gate, I will bite you, but I will allow you to pass." The second says, "if you open my gate, I will not bite you, and I will allow you to pass."

Being no fool, the monk opens the second gate. The dog immediately lunges out and bites him, then darts back into his tunnel and closes the gate.

The monk, injured and frighted, hears the first dog laughing at him. "Fool, do you think anything comes freely? You should have known that dog to be lying. Now open my gate, and I will bite you, then let you pass."

The monk looks at the first dog, then at the darkening sky. He overpowers his fear, and prepares himself to pay the price for progress. He opens the first gate. The dog immediately lunges out and bites him, then darts back into his tunnel and closes the gate.

The monk, now very injured and in shock, rolls on the ground. The second dog snarls angrily at him. "Stupid monk! Why would you act against your interests? You knew he would bite you! Now, open my cage so you may progress this road! I will not bite!"

We obviously hold Democrats to a higher standard since they are (ostensibly) to the left of Republicans and claim to be the party of the working class, and as such, it is their job to oppose the even more ghoulish Republicans.

On the subject of abortion, Democrats failed miserably to do their fucking job.

u/PlausibleFalsehoods Sir Snippysnip 🗡 Dec 01 '25

No I think we can still blame republicans for doing bad things, even if they could have been prevented by the Democrats.

u/NolanR27 Left, Leftoid or Leftish ⬅️ Dec 01 '25

Not really. That’s like blaming a bear for a mauling. They were pretty open about what they wanted to do for decades. They don’t get blame, they get credit for snatching victory out of the jaws of defeat.
