A few weeks ago when the US House of Representatives passed a bill to restrict abortion to 20 weeks, I wrote a post wondering if they’d forgotten their alleged commitment to state’s rights.
But of course the vote by Washington State Republicans in Congress to restrict abortion rights beyond what Washington State voters rejected puts the lie to the state’s rights claim. They don’t care about Washington’s rights to write our own abortion laws, they want the big mean Federal government to override it.
Well now it’s the Senate’s turn as Marco Rubio has introduced a companion bill in the Senate. And while I doubt very much that even if it makes it to the floor, that our Senators would vote for it, it doesn’t hurt to contact them to let them know you’ve got their back in opposing it.
I thought the abortion issue had been decided around 40 years ago. Abortion is legal. What’s the beef?
@1 There’s still people around who want to run other people’s lives. Some of the old ones died off, but new ones are born every day.
Abortion is legal up to a certain time. Libtards want abortion up to delivery. That’s why there are Gosnells and Tillers in America.
BTW libtards Happy 4th of July. Puddy gonna visit a group of veteran friends in the SouthWest so Puddy won’t be posting much!
See ya.
I’m sure the “veteran friends” in the southwest can’t wait to see Mr Puddy’s smiling face. Mr Puddy has to travel to that burning hellhole to even find a friend. Poor pubtards!
@4
By my count, this is about the third time that puddycracker has announced that he’s spending the Fourth of July with ‘veterans’.
I think he is counting on the transitive property of coolness to give him some patriot points.
Moreover, it’s not who is willing to hang out with spuddles, it’s the insane, hateful, affirmatively stupid bullshit he writes on these threads that has me shaking my head in disbelief at the possibility that someone could be so stupid and still survive breakfast every day.
It’s a wonder he doesn’t accidentally kill himself with a spoon.
@5
Ha! He’s probably reporting for duty with the Minutemen.
Fixed
OT. Happy fourth of July, special “You didn’t Build this” edition.
Today I also celebrate the French. Without troop reinforcements and Lafayette’s leadership we would likely be thinking about what to boil for tea time today. “Why without the French…we’d all be speaking English!”
I also celebrate the Chinese, without whom we would have no colorful things to blow up tonight.
Oh look, puddles is in favor of murder. How very Christian.
The South must “rise” again???

Great article.. It’s tempting indeed sometime to ponder just “letting them go”.. If not for all the guns and belligerence down there. The military is highly concentrated in the South. A liberated South would indeed be another, more corrupt Mexico with a deadlier, more aggressive army. We spilled an ocean of blood in one civil war already.
“reflected glory”.. zzzzz… Whatever..
@ 11
More like basking in the shadow and using that position to garner attention to himself. The ultimate form of narcissism.
@5 If he wanted to spend July 4th with a veteran he could have met me at Montlake Tavern and bought me a beer.
@10 And Napoleon wasn’t from France.
@12 et al. — Speaking of reflected glory, you have to be a veteran to understand there is no glory in war and you should wrap tape around your dog tags because anything that reflects could get you killed.
@9 Puddy is a bigot, doesn’t believe in equal rights
@14:
Yes he was.
Corsica was ceded to France in 1768, but it took a few months to subdue the Corsican nationalists. The Comte de Vaux was named Governor General of the island on August 1, 1769.
Napoleon Bonaparte was born in (French, for two weeks) Corsica on August 15, 1769.
@17 That’s like saying Tibet is part of China, and therefore Tibetans are Chinese.
@18:
I understand the point you’re making. There’s a fine line between pedantry and exactitude.
