When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, it claimed to be removing the judiciary from the abortion debate. In reality, it simply gave the courts a macabre new task: deciding how far states can push a patient toward death before allowing her to undergo an emergency abortion.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit offered its own answer, declaring that Texas may prohibit hospitals from providing “stabilizing treatment” to pregnant patients by performing an abortion—withholding the procedure until their condition deteriorates to the point of grievous injury or near-certain death.
The ruling proves what we already know: Roe’s demise has transformed the judiciary into a kind of death panel that holds the power to elevate the potential life of a fetus over the actual life of a patient.
Biden and Trump are the same, and the country is worse off now than in 2020? You are clinically insane.
They’re not the same.
A good analogy tho is skydiving instructers, you know when you first go and they have to strap someone to your back?
Republicans are suicidal instructors, who won’t pull the parachute no matter what. They’re going to divebomb into the ground and take us with them.
However some Democrats like Biden believe the only right time to pull the chute is at the absolute last second. To them pulling it a second early is just as bad as a second too late. They have a very specific point where it’s ok to open the chute.
So while they may not be intending to kill us, if anything causes the tiniest delay…
The result is the same. We smash into the ground and die.
Which isn’t as bad until we get to the point where any reasonable person would understand even if Republicans aren’t strapped to our backs, they’re going to do everything they can to interrupt Biden from pulling the chute.
You could argue that means the bad result isn’t Biden faults, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be mad that he’s still waiting for the last second to open the chute instead of just doing it as soon as he can.
I think Biden would be the instructor that pulls the shoot exactly as soon as he can, keeping you safe, but killing all of your fun and wasting your jump in the process. Trump would put you both in the ground and needs another instructor to save you both, after which Trump fires the other instructor and calls him a “very bad person” and has his family tormented for ages.
For that to be true…
I’d think Biden would have had plans to put in motion the day he assumed office and Dems had all the power.
Instead once in office he said he needed to “research” things he’d promise that he’d do.
And that “research” coincidentally took just long enough for Republicans to control the House, at which point Biden said he couldn’t do anything.
Which sounds a lot like not pulling the chute until the last second, and getting interrupted and causing us to crash I to the ground.
If hed pulled it asap, that would have been his first two years when Dems had all the political power.
Nah, Biden is absolutely not the sort to pull it asap in this analogy. Pulling the chord is implementing effective regulation and actually slowing the descent.
What part of doing literally nothing on several major fronts is, “pulling it asap”?
In case, like me, you weren’t sure if this person was arguing in good faith.
when he ran with obama they cuffed a presidential candidate to a chair for eight hours because they did not want her debating with them and the republicans
how is that different not to mention his conservative views on everything
What the fuck are you even talking about

That’s fucked up they should not have tied them to a chair.
I can understand restraining them to keep them from entering the event that they are not welcome to on private property, but come on dude did they really need to handcuff them when they’re out numbered 6-1
