  1. 🤷🏻‍♂️ - Nachdem die Trump-Regierung vorgestern erklärt hat, dass Entscheidungen des #SCOTUS keine Rolle mehr spielen, sollten imho alle Ärzte in den republikanischen Bundesstaaten sich genau darauf beziehen und sofort wieder Abtreibungen durchführen...

  2. I listened to a very informative YouTube video today (and looked up some stuff). Oh boy...! A LOT to unpack. We all have some decisions to make soon. Life or death stuff (unless the courts or congress does the right thing). After what I've heard and read today, I am convinced that #Trump is a #Putin asset, as is #TulsiGabbard and #ErikPrince. And their goal is to suppress the #Resistance. And it seems that #BillClinton, #BarackObama and #JoeBiden did NOTHING to prevent what Trump is attempting to do, even though they could have... (And don't get me started as to why they didn't codify #RoeVsWade or #EqualRights or a number of other things when they had the chance...) Anyhow, I'll try to remember to use #USPol, but I might forget. But yeah... Wow... Where to even begin... (Maybe I'll start with the YouTube video)

  3. This is what I remember (and I'm old enough to remember). Abortion was mostly a Catholic issue, and the Evangelicals could give a crap. But then they realized that #RacialSegregation wasn't possible, so they decided to try and control womens' bodies instead!

    The #ReligiousRight and the Abortion Myth

    White evangelicals in the 1970s didn’t initially care about abortion. They organized to defend #racial #segregation in evangelical institutions — and only seized on banning abortion because it was more palatable than their real goal

  4. How #RonaldReagan Helped #Abortion Take Over the# Republican Agenda

    "Even as late as the 1980s, Ronald Reagan’s #GOP prioritized cutting taxes, reducing the size of government, and winning the Cold War, devoting little energy to fighting cultural battles. But despite this lack of enthusiasm, Reagan was instrumental in empowering a cultural and social #conservatism with roots in the #WhiteSouth. This cultural conservatism now dominates the Republican Party and drives the war against abortion rights in 2024.

    "Historically, the GOP was the more liberal party on abortion — especially given the #DemocraticParty’s strong appeal to Catholics across the North. That began to change in the early 1970s, as various states loosened their abortion restrictions. At the national level, a Republican shift on abortion first became evident during Reagan’s dramatic 1976 primary challenge against President Gerald Ford.

    "After losing the first five presidential primaries, #NorthCarolina became a must win for Reagan. He entrusted his campaign in the Tar Heel State to the North Carolina Congressional Club — the political machine of Senator Jesse Helms. A former Democrat, Helms had only joined the GOP six years earlier. He and his lieutenants devised a campaign centered on social and cultural issues, and Reagan stunned the incumbent president by six points.

    "The victory rescued Reagan's campaign, and demonstrated his popularity with southern conservative voters, donors, and strategists — many, like Helms, recently converted Democrats — who relished Reagan’s anti-statist rhetoric and despised Ford as an establishment moderate. As his campaign struggled to break through in the North, it was southern support that propelled Reagan all the way to the party convention in Kansas City. His Southern success gave Reagan’s backers significant influence as the GOP met to select a nominee and draft a platform.

    "At a pre-convention meeting, Helms and his allies formulated a range of right-wing policy positions that they wanted to force into the GOP platform. Alongside opposition to #GunControl and school busing to achieve #RacialIntegration, these southern Republicans demanded that their new party explicitly oppose #LegalAbortion. Reagan, though far more focused on economic issues and foreign policy, owed so much of his success to Helms and his political machine that he reluctantly green-lighted their platform challenges."

  5. This is the future if Republicans win government at any level. If you were thinking about not voting Democrat or not voting at all and you care just a little about reproductive rights, you need to pay attention to how Republicans act when in power.

    This election matters. Vote now. #ReproductiveRights #Republican #RoeVsWade
