I'm proud of Tom Emmer (R-MN) for his role in this.

I'm not sure what the legal impact is of having one chamber pass it.

Politics & Religion / Abortion Politics 2024

This from the Left, warning themselves not to be too smug on the abortion issue:

Gallop:  34% believe abortion should be legal under all circumstance.  In other words, Republicans are getting hammered on the issue but only 34% agree with the current Democrat position.

To the Republicans I say, this is a moral issue.  You do not criminalize that which nearly half the people think is fine. 

Also to the Republicans, you wanted this sent back to the states and you won, finally, so stop trying to get a federal ban on it.

The vast majority are in between complete ban and no restrictions.  Reasonable time frame, reasonable exceptions is where state laws should be at this point.

6 weeks makes sense in fetal development (heartbeat) but doesn't take into account the mother's lack of awareness in the earliest phase of pregnancy.

Democrats were winning on this issue only as far as they could point to Republican overreach.

Key points in the article, Dobbs did not ban abortion, and most people believe it is (still) easy to get an abortion.

And like three wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner, the unborn were not polled on the issue.

From the Deep State thread a few days ago-- guess who is behind this play?

"James Clapper and John Brennan"?!?  The Axis of the Deep State and the Controligarchs burrows in deeper yet:
=========================
Forward Observer

(2) DHS RESTARTS INTEL ADVISORY BOARD AFTER COURT LOSS: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it will establish the Homeland Intelligence Advisory Board, which will mirror the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas disbanded the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group earlier this month to resolve a lawsuit brought by America First Legal, which argued that DHS did not follow the law when it established the group.

Why It Matters: This is an additional data point supporting the likely increase in coordination between federal agencies and online platforms to censor political speech in the fight against “misinformation” and “election interference.” James Clapper and John Brennan, as part of the new advisory board and members of the disbanded experts group, signed a letter ahead of the 2020 election claiming media coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop “had the hallmarks of Russian disinformation operations.” This is likely to result in more censorship of online political speech and media coverage of stories that could negatively impact Biden’s reelection. – R.C.
