    The strict anti-abortionists have neutered the republican party. Uniparty party people are happy with this arrangement because it results in fragmentation. The uniparty will not have to worry about the political strength of cross-party thinking.

    I say this as a biological male, personally I am not sure biological males should have any say about abortion. 💐♥️🧀😎🐈‍⬛😼🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇪🇺🇺🇦💐

    To state the obvious, it's about control. There is nothing more profoundly in conflict with patriarchal control than the concept of female bodily autonomy.

    They have already told us what they are planning to ban abortion. Therefore even if they change their message about it, they are lying. They want to breed more people, preferably white, in our Country. The rich need workers to increase their wealth. I don't know about anyone else but I feel like Republicans consider woman as their cattle. They can breed us for their financial advantage 🤬

    Our car is driving with the hazards on. Unfortunately the whole world is watching us. We are showing how weak we are right now. Therefore we are scaring the other democracies of the world & empowering the rest of them. It's very scary

    Tax credits are good for people who pay taxes.
    Government assistance is needed by people who are too poor to pay substantial income taxes.
    Republican tax credit proposals are plans to subsidise the well-off at the expense of the rest of us.

    It''s pathetic that the Ohio's Constitution needs to be changed to give the people what they want. Who are the real rouge justice sand legislators? The power of Constitutions is that they are general guides. They shouldn't have to be changed for specific issues. Just like marriage, abortion should no be in Constitutions.

    Thank you as always Erin and Alyssa for bringing some much welcome sanity to our lives and reassuring us that in spite of all the GOP gaslighting, we're not the crazy ones.

    If life begins at conception, (Republican) men should have 0 issues with paying child support the minute they know their partner has gotten pregnant as well as owe backpay to the the moment the egg's fertilized.

    Babies and the unborn are the ultimate in humans who have no say, no vote and no voice so they can't tell you what they want and are therefore the perfect constituent for the gop, since they don't listen anyway.

    I will add that expecting employers to "choose" to cover parental leave is a joke. A parent joins a company 6 months pregnant. You think they're going to cover that care window? What about if it's someone's wife? This should be obviously publically covered population wide.
