The election in 2024 is a crucial one for our democracy and our rights. Abortion rights, in particular, are on the line. Men: Please speak up in support of women on this issue. We need to hear from you as well.
@georgetakei So why didn't the Democrats pass a right to choose law when they had the chance? They apparently saw this as a useful wedge issue.

Ivebeen saying the same thing.. there is a reason they never proposed an amendment on the issue... because they WANT it to be a weak or non existant right so people have a reason to vote for them.
@freemo @georgetakei I suppose the same applies to R's on gun rights. Why haven't the Republicans put in some strong gun rights protection laws? Because the 2nd Amendment is something people will vote single issue on. Likewise reproductive rights.
Because we already have the strongest law and protection imaginable, there is literally an amendment that says that access to guns cant be infringed, it doesnt even mention the possiblity for exceptions.
The problem is theleft has largely ignored the amendment and violated it. This isnt the republicans fault.
Now abortion, for that there is no amendment and no real protections, unlike gun laws.
@freemo @mike805 @georgetakei For 50 years, courts across the country agreed that the 14th amendment protects the right to abortion
It’s as cut and dry as the 2nd amendment to me 🤷🏼
Well only scotus ruled that, courts need to agree with scotus.. but yea it has been the interpritation for quite some time.. but it is a **horrible** interpritation.
Now to be clear I support abortion, and I was saying for years that it was a cheat to even attempt toi use that amendment the way it was to protect abortion, it made no logical sense... and here we area.
I may dislike the fact that abortion is no longer protected, but it was absolutely the correct interpretation of the law in its current state.
