It’s only a matter of time until someone dies because of this law, and unfortunately it’s likely to be a child rape victim.
It almost happened here in Ohio when a 10-year-old had to travel to Indiana to get the abortion and the state still tried have the doctor in Indiana investigated for using a 10 year old rape victim to “push her political agenda”.
It’s absolutely nauseating that roughly half the country still wants to vote for these fucks.
Not to be pedantic, but it is nowhere near half the country. There is an absurdly significant over representation of Republican politicians for several reasons:
The Senate is not a proportionally representative body, therefore the less populous states that make up the majority of the country have significantly more power than they otherwise would, and these states are predominantly Republican.
Gerrymandering allows states that are much more purple than you would assume (like Texas for example) to be hostily controlled by the Republican party even in areas that would otherwise lean more heavily blue.
The suppression of voting rights by the Republican party. This includes schemes to prevent accessible vote by mail options for the entire country, which is a super easy problem to solve. However, solving it would allow apathetic voters who otherwise wouldn’t vote or those who can’t easily access polling stations due to work, disability, or other reasons to vote regularly. Then you get into the fact that we are basically the only country where national elections days aren’t a mandatory holiday.
I could go on, but the point is that we currently live in a system of minority rule. The true number of legitimate Republic voters in this country is roughly 30% of the voting age public. The Republican party knows that the demographics are skewed insurmountably towards the liberal/progressive with each passing year. They cannot win the numbers game, not even close. The only way they continue to win is to erode democracy, destroy people’s faith in government, and game the judicial system.
You could go on, but I think it’s worth adding that just like the Senate isn’t proportionally represented by population, even if the house weren’t gerrymanderd, it wouldn’t either.
They haven’t kept up with adding house seats based off population making it even worse.
its like 30% of the country that reliably votes for these trash goblins, the problem is like 70% of the billionaires support them because the republicans will give them all the tax cuts and hand jobs they’ll ever want. Most the billionaires also own a majority of the press so the propaganda guns are only getting bigger faster and dumber.

If you based the number of reps in the original bill of rights, they would be limited to 50000 people. https://thirty-thousand.org/
6600 reps vs 435.
Things would be so different
There you have it - the GOP grand plan, and the MAGA cult will provide the cyanide for their own Kool-Aid

70%? Try 99%.
