Good news, but not great news.

If the Democrats crafted a bill that protected abortions at least through the first trimester, they'd get their 60 votes in the Senate. If they're greedy and want to protect abortions all the way to full term, I doubt that they'd get all 50 Democrat votes.

AFAIK, the Partial Birth Abortion ban is still on the books after a Supreme Court upheld it as constitutional.

Those “peaceful” death threats are something else. How about them
“peaceful” pro-abortionists threatening to burn down the Supreme Court. If Obama’s FBI guys ever hear about this the “peaceful” pro-abortion radicals may get a “May Fifth” investigation slap on the wrist by Feral “judges”. Clowns. Washington D.C. is full of clowns.

The demonmdriven hatred coming out-of Warren’s eyes and scrunched up facial features was really telling. Her inner demons were really really angry because women can’t murder unborn children wherever they want anymore

Imagine the sick twisted hatred dwelling inside people like her who are fire-spitting furious that they can t murder unborn anymore at will

Kyrsten Sinema either enjoys being the John McCain of the Democrat party or isn't fully convinced that her party has election stealing down to a perfect science.

Manchin? He knows West Virginia isn't even close enough to steal . . . yet!

Abortion is a STATE’s rights issue, not a Federal one.

... the inaccurate and grossly named “Women’s Health Protection Act,”

Flick’s Rule 42. The meaning of every bill proposed by Congress is the exact opposite of its title.

Women's Health Protection Act

It would be more accurate if it was called:

The Right To Remove An Inconvenience From My Womb and My Life

Or,

"The Right To Kill A Mistake"

RE: ... the inaccurate and grossly named “Women’s Health Protection Act,”

Democrats like to name their bills to FOOL people into believing what opposite of what the bill’s effect really is.

For instance, “Affordable Care Act”? Really? Healthcare premiums have gone nowhere buy UP since its passing.

The Congess has no Constitutional right to make abortion legal by statute.

What I find surprising is that Sinema seems to be the only Democrat that understands that the filibuster potentially helps both parties. Are the rest of them unable to comprehend that they might not have the majority in the future? I guess that’s the arrogance that comes from stealing elections.

Regardless of the prospects in the Senate, the House will still have to try to pass a bill. That may create a problem for Democrats because the progressives will insist on “until birth”, plus government funding, which plays terribly politically and would alienate moderates. The Democrat infighting over the scope of an abortion rights bill in Congress — regardless of whether Congress regulating abortion is ultimately deemed constitutional or not — may blunt a lot of the political gain they might otherwise hope for.

Some get pregnant so they can have an abortion.

an unprecedented leak from the Supreme Court that showed a draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito overturning Roe.

Is it possible that the Supreme Court hasn't really decided and Alito, and one of the liberals, were BOTH assigned to write opinions and then they'd vote after reviewing both opinions, but the 2nd opinion has not been leaked, nor will it be?

Might be fun if you posted Rules 1-41 as well.

“Pierre Delecto and Susan Collins will come to the Rat’s rescue..”

I’ve been reading the retorts on this thread and, as usual, the people are not considering the actions but banking on the numbers.

There never has been a body of government lawmakers that are as they state. People have been led down the path that the senate is a 50/50 situation. Sorry, no. Like you pointed out, it is made up of people that lean toward a philosophy of their idea of government.

The media can use the terminology of 50/50, but not every democrat is liberal and not every republican is conservative. And this is why votes vary in the houses while the politicians care more for themselves and less for their constituents. And if you are a conservative, and want the government to accomplish things you voted for, you need to vote out those that don’t follow the line you were misrepresented about. And people that voted for some of the people going in based upon their party affiliation and not their consistency of representation, are being mislead.

"This week, Democrat Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona dashed the hopes of their more radical colleagues amid renewed calls to pass a federal law that would overrule state limits or prohibitions on abortion [??? emphasis added]."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Although desperate, election year Democrats evidently want post-17th Amendment ratification, constitutionally low-information voters to think otherwise, patriots are reminded that the Constitution's Supremacy Clause doesn't work with bogus federal laws that the states haven't expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to make.

More specifically, the Constitution's silence on Democratic and RINO vote-winning, politically correct power to murder unborn children has never been enumerated in the Constitution.

Insights welcome.

Next, from an election year-related thread...

We have a very corrupt, alleged election-stealing, elite Democratic and RINO-controlled Congress that cannot be expected to its constitutionally enumerated duty to expel Constitution-ignoring career lawmakers under Article I, Section 5, Clause 2 (1.5.2) or Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

So it's up to Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters to peacefully exercise their voting power in 2022 midterm elections to effectively make 1.5.2 and Section 3 work, applying Section 3 to both federal and state governments.

And speaking of voting power, patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates. (Good work OH patriots yesterday primary.)

Again, insights welcome.

When I watched Warren my first thought was like yours, she is really angry about this decision. But then I realize she doesn’t really give a damn about unborn babies — it’s just about the power and how DARE they try to undermine what the Democrats have made their signature issue? DON’T THEY KNOW WHO I AM??? More temper tantrum than any kind of true belief system. They cannot stand being denied.
