Tuberville dropped anti-abortion mantle. No one in the GOP is picking it up.

Tommy Tuberville spent months casting himself as the Senate's anti-abortion martyr. Now that he's dropped the torch, nobody is looking to pick it up.

Tuberville’s months-long blockade of military promotions not only failed to prompt a change in the Biden administration abortion policy it was designed to protest — it also failed to rally his fellow conservatives behind pursuit of abortion restrictions through new legislation or other tactics. As the entire GOP flounders without a unified approach to the issue in the aftermath of Roe v. Wade's demise, Tuberville's stand appears to have had no effect.
“Look, I'm a realist. I recognize that a Senate controlled by Chuck Schumer is not going to do anything on the abortion issue,” Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) said.

Roe is dead. Now leave it to the states. I am sure that the problem that the house is having with the NDAA is that defense contractors operate in every congressioanl district in the country and the DOD can easily shift work out of offending congressional districts to send messages. It's a sad fact of life which is why one hates and despises those idiot RINOs in Georgia who had this clever strategy to be heros. We will go along with the Dems to jigger the vote to get rid of Trump and we will keep the Senate. Whooops wa'happened? Fools and scondrels.

I am with Tucker in holding special hatred of the GOP. They are lazy, fat, stupid and corrupt.

Every time we use the term “anti-abortion” to describe pro-lifers, the devil smiles...
