So reverting to the exact state of law right before Roe was overturned is unacceptable. Gotcha babe.
Yes, it is unacceptable and I don't think you got me at all considering I've had to repeat myself three times now. The reason "the exact state of law right before Roe was overturned" is unacceptable is that prior to Roe's overturning, the SCOTUS was allowing deplorable state laws like Texas' heartbeat bill despite Roe's standing, which effectively allows for 6 week abortion bans. What part of this explanation don't you understand? Dear lord.
And here I was thinking you guys would do anything to go back to the days of Roe.
Well, don't be too surprised that you're wrong... you often are.
I've explained why passing the Women's Health Act > codifying Roe. Once again: it prevents states from enacting laws that force women to endure waiting periods, laws that force women to hear about their "sinful" choice, laws that force women to hear inaccurate medical information meant to deter their choice, laws that force women to have to go to the doctor or clinic multiple times for the procedure unnecessarily, etc.
But even if you want to completely disregard my questions about why women should have to endure hardships to receive an abortion if we have a constitutional (or even legislative) right to one, the fact is that on 6/23/22, the day before Roe was overturned so "back to the days of Roe" that you call for, states were allowed to have 5 or 6 week abortion bans in place. Why the fuck should anyone want that? That's not a standard to long for, babe.
And all your cheeky comments about Dems' unwillingness to compromise fall totally flat since Republicans have refused to codify Roe, plain and simple.
I've explained to you why your bipartisan bill is a fantasy multiple times. You keep ignoring the fact that the filibuster exists so there's no pathway to passing it. You also haven't suggested which Republican senators would sign on to a bipartisan bill permitting abortion until fetal viability, and that's because you don't have an answer. How do we know that you don't have an answer? Because Collins and Murkowski introduced a bill in February that allegedly just codifies Roe (instead of protecting women's rights further without forced undue hardship, god forbid) and ZERO other Republicans nor Manchin have signed on to it. Womp womp.
All the snarky comments in the world won't convince anyone with 15% of a functioning brain that Democrats are the ones standing in the way of abortion rights.
It's okay to accept that Republicans are being dipshits on this issue. I promise. Your world won't come crumbling down. You can say it. Be brave.
