Ohio Republicans can hold a election for abortion rights every Tuesday for a whole a year. They'd still wouldn't get a majority of voters to vote in favor of taking away women's rights to an abortion. No matter how much they want to continue to make these pathetic claims that include outside inference tilting the scales against them.

At some point, we just need to dissolve the republican party and relegate them to the dustbin of the past, like the whigs and the know-nothings.

If they refuse to participate in democracy, there's no reason they should be part of the democratic process.

I remember seeing something to the effect that the legislature is going to try and go around the courts to weaken the amendment and/or the process of public voting on the amendments. Which...would be an explicit violation of the separation of powers and invite a USSC challenge, which they would lose. Probably 9-0, too.

The USSC might be ruled by right wingers right now, but even they realize that if they would allow this to happen that it would in effect lessen their own power down the road, which they would never willingly do.

No, see, Antifa and the Left are the fascists, Maga and the right just appreciate a little religious populism bent on controlling peoples' rights and socialism for the wealthy and corrupt, led by a strong man who seeks to weaponize the government against his enemies and those disloyal to him, that's all.

This is what the 2nd amendment is for

Protecting the federal government from people who would try to overthrow it and our experiment in democracy in general?

Well...

Yes, actually. This one would be one of the cases where a militia could be called up to suppress anti-democractic activities that threaten our government's integrity.

Not that it ever will. We have precious few examples of it happening already, and the Republicans have made damn sure that the 2A doesn't mean what it originally did anymore, just so they can sell more guns to people.

It's a lovely fantasy to imagine the Ohio republican legislature marched to jail at a militia's prodding bayonet so they can be processed and tried for their crimes... but shit that good never happens in real life.

"The unborn are a convenient group of people to advocate for.

They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they dont resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct

Unlike widows, they dont ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they dont need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they dont bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships.

And when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone.

They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.

Yep. Even if an armed populace is meant to be capable of unseating a shitty government, in practice those most eager to pick up their guns are eager to support fascism instead. Republicans worshiping police and military should be at odds with their "muh freedomz!" rhetoric, but in reality they worship those things because they abuse and kill the right targets (black people and Muslims).
