It's a risk. It could happen. No doubt about it. This could energize Democrat voters in the midterm.
Yet when we look at Texas which has passed one of the strongest abortion restrictions in the country, Abbot is still solidly leading in the polls, so who knows.
One thing we do know is that the MSM will try to make it an issue to bludgeon GOP candidates over the head with (never mind that the Democrats' "abortion at any time for any reason" stance is just as politically unpopular as "no abortion for any reason ever" is).
2nd that!
And both my dogs are smarter than Joe Biden,
And SCOTUS decisions Dred Scott and Plessy v Ferguson were overturned by the court itself. Legislation is how something like abortion should become law, not a guess by the better part of nine people.
Now you see why the SCOTUS draft ws leaked. To get RATs elected. They do these things because no one ever holds them accountable for wrongdoing.
You are exactly right. This is terrible timing for republicans. I know abortion isn’t a niche issue on this site and passions run high. But this was the last thing we needed when we were all lined up for a dem slaughter in the midterms. Now those one issue radical dbags will come out in force with their hyperbolic predictions of doom to all women if they vote R.
The Supreme Court hasn't put it anywhere, yet. They apparently are going to say that it isn't up to the Supreme Court itself, but the question of whether Congress can regulate it isn't properly before them.
She is right! Just keep watching how the vote goes Elizabeth Warren.
It should be banned as a terrorist organization.

Excellent recommendation, and the sooner the better!
Which is why it was leaked, and which is why RINOs like Roberts will vote for it in order to help Democrats in November.
I don’t think it will be as helpful as the Rats think it is. Who’s it going to convince to vote Rat that already doesn’t?
Small revere...
Mid-terms are coming... mid-terms are coming... mid-terms are coming.
One if by life.
Two if by death.
Where in the Constitution does Congress get the power to prohibit states from limiting/banning abortion?

Same place the Court got the power in Roe v Wade! In the “penumbra”!
Well sweetie, God actually gets the “last word” on America’s obsession with killing the unborn, and that’s why He’s letting your ilk destroy this country.
We’ve proven unworthy of the gifts, graces, and freedoms He blessed us with.

Right on all points, but unfortunately you’re addressing them to a psychopath.
I suspect this Court will let Congress address it if it chooses.

The decision was posted last evening and the part I read indicated the matter should properly be left to the States to decide.
I could go on and on.....
I’m old and in my youth I did not follow politics all that much.....I know Trump was robbed...and this sheet has to stop.

Excellent post from start to finish!
Crockajawea no dance-um around lodge pole.
Crockajawea lying dog-faced pony soldier.
The States and their Citizens get to decide.

Which the draft that I read last night online makes perfectly clear!
Same place the Court got the power in Roe v Wade! In the “penumbra”
Congress is supposed to be bound by the powers granted to it and the Federal government in Article 1, Section 8. Nowhere in there is provision for Congress to declare ‘rights’ into existence. Congress could declare abortion legal in the District of Columbia and I suppose on military bases. Their usual way of creating national laws is through the ‘commerce clause’ but I cannot think of how they can use that to justify legalizing abortion nation-wide.
It’s akin to the problem with imposing national mask and or vaccination mandates.
I’m not saying they won’t try, they probably will. I’m just old-fashioned and believe that Congress should follow the text and spirit of the document that established Congress in the first place.
Cherokee princess dream big.
