Senate Republicans oppose Reproductive Freedom for Women.

Senate Republicans block Democratic bill codifying Roe v. Wade abortion protections

The legislation, which states that “protections for access to abortion rights ... should be supported," was blocked by Republicans who panned it as a "show vote."

This was a messaging bill, that should be understood. But the Republican Senators have sent their message to American women. They do not support reproductive rights for women. Don't forget that. This is an issue that the Republican Party really cares about, they want to take away rights from women. You can see this in project 2025, you can see it in Agenda 47, you can see it in the RNC platform. And you can see it in the vote on this bill.

Abortion - the killing of the unborn - is not "healthcare." Hence, your poll is garbage.

Donald Trump is now, of course, saying "leave it to the states to decide." But I don't understand why that is somehow a solution. It seems to me that, since reproductive rights issues are so deeply, deeply personal, the decision should therefore be personal. Not municiple, state or federal -- individual. Every woman who does not want an abortion is free to choose not to have one. Every woman who does not want IVF, or an IUD, should be perfectly free to make that choice for themselves. BUT THE SAME must hold true for the women who do choose those reproductive options.

What is always missing from such 'arguments' is the total lack of regard for the life extinguished by an abortion. That is why the two sides on this issue keep talking past each other, IMHO.

Women are still free to reproduce. How would this bill have prevented them from doing so?

Good for the Democrats. They need to make it clear that Republicans are anti-woman.

What a massive load of crap.

It's just giving states rights to enact abortion policies themselves as they see fit. Not the federal government.

Remember that.

None of the female House and Senate Republican members got that memo, nor did those who voted for them.

Maybe you should save your false statements that "Republicans are anti-woman" as a way to get people to vote for Big Mike Obama or VP Kamel Hair, assuming you can't get the race card to work.

It absolutely is healthcare. It pertains directly to women's health.
And it has saved countless women's lives.

Don't like them? Don't get one. But don't think you get to make others' healthcare and life decisions for them.

They're just trying to put some b******* spin on it all to to villify Republicans like it's going to affect the election or something.

May as well also say that the Holocaust was about protecting the lives and health of German citizens by getting rid of those who supposedly threatened them.
History, my boy! It's a good thing to learn.

It most likely won't. People have heard democrat spin on every issue under the sun, and it's wearing thin.

You're the only person who repeatedly and continually brings up race here.

The Republicans are anti-woman. They don't support women's freedom to make their own decisions about their own bodies. They supported Roe v. Wade being overturned and worked for decades to make it happen. They've severely limited women's reproductive rights in Republican states and continue to reach further and further. And now this. They are anti-woman. I'm now convinced they want The Handmaid's Tale as we they go further and further down the path toward it.

The government can and will make healthcare and life decisions for people. Just because you don't like it means others have to agree with you as well.

Nope. Not even remotely similar.

Remember that.

What it is NOT doing is giving the people affected to choose folr themselves as they see fit. What makes a bunch of legislators -- mostly men -- usually with no medical, psychological or other relevant training -- so much better at deciding how a woman in Louisiana should conduct her life? Or, for that matter, a woman in New York? Are not those women better qualified to judge for themselves, with the help of their health care provider and family?

Harris is a race chameleon. One day she's black, next day she's Asian, the day after that she's Native American. She just uses race to see to see whatever suits her agenda and most importantly, her own self serving career.

The government doesn't tell me I don't have reproductive rights and doesn't interfere in my decisions surrounding my reproductive health.
I live in Canada where we have more freedom in that regard. I don't have to worry that I might have to die from a septic pregnancy because a bunch of old men who don't even know what a cervix is, have decided I'm not entitled to decide what I do with my own body.

Well then I would suggest to people in that state had better get to work to change things.

A novel and unique idea isn't it?

But that's just it -- far too many on the right, and the religious, are absolutely certain that they should have the right to make such decisions for other people. Their ultimate justification is their own knowledge that they are holier-than-thou -- better and wiser than everybody else.
