Trump says Republicans always wanted to leave abortion law to states. That's false.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, an outspoken abortion-rights opponent who faces a competitive re-election bid, said abortion rights aren’t in danger at the federal level because the 60-vote filibuster rule will give Democrats the power to block anti-abortion-rights bills in Congress.
Let the voters vote on this and talk about it. And debate it. And vote again, if they want to,” Hawley said. “I support a 15-week ban, but that’s not going to pass.”
Yeah so these numbnuts are saying that they rely on Democrats to be smart and reasonable so that they are free to hold their batshit stance.
Dear southern neighbours, please elect reasonable people to the US House and Senate. Thanks and with love, Canadians.
- They're trying to lull uninformed voters into a false sense of security. It only takes a majority of the Senate to remove the filibuster, so a Republican-majority Senate could absolutely impose a nationwide abortion ban after ditching the filibuster.
- From Oklahoma, some of us try, but we are overrun with crazies.
Republicans want women to be brood sows. Conservative beliefs only work if there's a endless supply of poor, uneducated, subservient/indoctrinated people working below the powerful and wealthy. That's not possible if women get to choose when (if ever) and how many children they have. Add in the fact the GOP is lead by a literal rapist, who loves the idea of forcing women to be attached to him forever, doesn't see anything wrong with extending that control 18 years.
They left it to the States, and the states decided they wanted abortions legal, and they refused to do the bidding of the people. So fuck off with that noise.
why are we still listening to what this guy says
That's why they fought so much to pack the courts at the federal level, sure.
Same for slavery except for fugitive slave laws.
That may be false, but Biden has called abortion a states right issue for decades
- Wow, it's like people can change their views over time. Who knew? It's call growth, something you seem to be lacking.
  PSA: @anticolonialist@lemmy.world is a troll account. Whenever you see this pathetic waste of a person comment, call the parasite out. They are only here to stir up bs and spread misinformation.
  
  It's called PR, the same way that liberals hated GW Bush, and now love him because he gave Michelle a candy and went to baseball games with Ellen. Your view has been manipulated and manufactured for you.
  When they do the same for Trump and white wash his history your view of him will change. Despite all their talk he is one of them.
