Got my vote!
Me? I’m Pro-Choice all the way. Let the baby choose! Guess what? Its going to chose to live. Every. Time.
I think I’ve been hearing this same thing ever since I’ve followed the news! Years ago the talk was defunding PP. I assumed it had been done.
This is what I love about our constitutional republic. It has 50 votes. California and North Dakota are pretty much equal.
NUKE UNCONSTITUTIONAL GOV'T "HEALTHCARE" (AKA DEATH PROTOCOL).
This is why I wish we could overturn the 17th. So that counties and districts in the various states could have some say in the election of their Senators, not just the largest cities in that state.
They can have a bake sale.

You and I are on the same page. Most people’s eyes sort of glaze over when I mention the 17th.
The whole point was supposed to be the short term house seats were simple majority, but the senate was a “higher” federal body and to be elected through representation. Now they’re not much more than long term house members, chosen by the mobocracy.
“Planned Parenthood rakes in tens of millions from taxpayers every year, according to its annual reports, while performing about 400,000 abortions between 2021 and 2022.” 400,000 in two years, I wonder what their total body count is now? I’m not sure I want to know, a lot of murdered babies.
Among the purposes of the 17A was to make the Senate more simpatico with the House.
To our national detriment, it worked.
Pre-17A, senators had to watch over their shoulders at what their state legislators supported because these were the men who could replace that senator with one of their own.
Today, the House of Reps is the farm team for senators. A real shame because they bring their antics along with them.
WTF with another two popularly elected reps per state anyway?
The Constitution acts upon both the people and the states. Simple republican theory demands state representation.
The 17A pulled the keystone from our Framers’ Constitution. I’m amazed we’ve lasted this long.
"Legislators From Almost Every State Call on Congress to Defund Planned Parenthood"
Pro-life state legislators would have incredibly more influence with Congress as constitutional drafters had intended if it weren't for the repealable (hint) 17th Amendment (17A), popular voting for federal senators.
In fact, since the misguided Supremes went to the trouble to overturn Roe v. Wade to try to keep Trump from being reelected imo, the following should also have happened imo if it weren't for 17A.
Congress's ongoing abuse of its 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes) to support unconstitutional federal taxing and spending for subsidizing the politically correct "constitutional right" to murder unborn children to buy votes to try to keep elite desperate Democrats and RINOs in power would have been stopped imo.
Also, regardless that ordinary citizen patriots could theoretically have replaced all senators twice+ by now with true patriots from the time of Obama's first midterm election, Congress remains divided.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
The 16th Amendment is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime and desperately needs to be repealed along with 17A imo.
We'll call the repeal amendment Trump's Boston Tea Party II Amendment.
I’m amazed we’ve lasted this long.
Of course, they could be bots...
<>I’m amazed we’ve lasted this long.<>
Trump is our last hope to lead the restoration of our institutions.
He is amazing, but he is one man.
We are where we are, with every democrat and too many pubbies who seek our destruction, thanks to the 17A.
Stop the abortion mills, and the loose women needing them make better choices. Like birth control, or self control.
The Government has no right to be in the business of killing babies.
Planned Parenthood is a Murder the innocent Company.
