Over this last weekend, the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) began to host a private retreat for major corporate donors at the opulent
Republicans are now highly emboldened to do whatever they want to whomever they want. This became obvious with Fat Don. They are almost daring the Democrats and sane Americans to stop them and sadly we are losing this battle. Much attention is paid to suburban women who enjoy Republican policies but loathe their outward hatred of everything not white-male yet their loyalty still seems to be to Republicans. Until pretty suburban white women are getting dragged out of their McMansions in handcuffs for having a miscarriage this blatant assault on women will only get worse. Democrats starting with Biden need to be out there daily beating the drum calling these people what they are, misogynist tyrants running on nothing but hatred. But of course the democratic establishment is never able to muster the level of grievance that animates the right. What a mess we're in.
Michael is right--the Republicans fear nothing at this point. They have paid zero price for sedition, and with our 24 hour/7 day a week news cycle, there is a good chance that they will pay zero price for the end of national abortion rights. Spearheaded by the RAGA, they will now go after interstate travel, as they seek to bar those who can afford abortions in red states from traveling to blue states to get the procedure done. Of course, this will be challenged in court, but with the current makeup of the Supreme Court, would you (or anyone else) bet against the reactionary majority finding some twisted logic to justify the ban?
This is awful. The doctor gave the girl a pill with a high dose of estrogen to induce the abortion. It wasn't a surgical abortion. I fear that this is getting out of hand and these Republicans need to be stopped and pay fines as well as their right to serve in a public office. Excellent essay, Amy.
Republicans have that euphoria of being above the law and are gearing up to strip civil rights from anyone not a rich, white male. Democrats need to find a strong 2024 candidate and DEVELOP A FORCEFUL 2022 MESSAGE against this insidious onslaught! We. Are. Not. Playing. Dirty. ENOUGH!!!
