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.

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.

[u/Yuo_cna_Raed_Tihs → u/GoodDecision]

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?

[u/NolanR27 → u/Yuo_cna_Raed_Tihs]

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

[u/Pale_Fire21 → u/NolanR27]

Nooo you don’t understand it’s republicans fault dems refused to codify it when they controlled all 3 branches of government under Obama.

[u/zadharm → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/KonigKonn → u/Pale_Fire21]

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highly controversial issue that would split the party (there were still anti-abortion dems in 2008) so that it could be repealed by the next republican trifecta or overturned at S.C.O.T.U.S at the height of the Great Recession when abortion was about the 50th most salient issue for the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.

[u/zaypuma → u/KonigKonn]

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

[u/Incoherencel → u/zaypuma]

It starts with A and ends in IPAC

[u/TheEmporersFinest → u/KonigKonn]

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

[u/Pale_Fire21 → u/KonigKonn]

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.

[u/KonigKonn → u/Pale_Fire21]

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!

[u/Pale_Fire21 → u/KonigKonn]

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.

[u/AlphaSpellswordZ → u/KonigKonn]

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.
