re: #368 palomino

I don’t think I suggested you were MBFing, just pointing out what you say you don’t deny: that this obsession with women’s reproductive organs is primarily a Republican phenomenon.

Sure, southern Dems are much more conservative than their counterparts in most of the rest of the country. Always have been.

I’d say that this obsession with women’s reproductive organs is the wicket of anyone who thinks they can get votes out of it. That’s primarily Republicans in much of the country.

Meanwhile, the Republican Speaker of the House in the Indiana lege, Brian Bosma, apparently spent a fortune on Girl Scout cookies in response to his colleague Bob Morris’s drivel about the organization:

He’s also been handing them out on the floor, and munching them through the day.

This is an ally.

This concerted effort to beat back reproductive rights will effectively move the window. We are losing ground, and while the Republicans are leading the charge, Democrats who decide that they’re more interested in reaping the benefits or being hep with the times than in defending Americans’ rights, will drift with the opportunistic tide.

Whether someone is an ally depends on what they do, not what letter goes after their name and before their city.
