#you should be able to shoulder responsibility for roe v wade overturning by those same fucking standards

Keep in mind that Democrats have known about Project 2025 for three years since the Heritage Foundation first published Project 2025, and close to forty years since the Heritage Foundation first proposed this shit.

And yet it is on all of us to take this shit seriously because the democratic party sure as fuck didn't.

After all, Democrats up and down the line have always been comfortably insulated from the consequences of their fuckups. The rural poor (a disproportionate amount of them including BIPOC, women, and LGBTQ in red states) have always been and always were going to be fucked over no matter who won. The CHUDs do their heinous shit, and we get chided for it by assholes in blue states for not voting for Dems that never fucking show up or could be counted on to deliver what little they fucking promise.

And in states like the one I left (TN), somewhere in the neighborhood of 60% of ballots have gone to the GOP by default because absolutely nobody in the party could be fucked to even file the fucking nominating petitions-- and I say this as somebody who was a county chair for two fucking years for the shiftless gaggle of asshole landlords, I know exactly how fucking excrement i have made my name in casting my lot in with all these fucking karens.

After all, if we were fucking worth saving we'd've been blessed by God to be able to afford to move, right?

2020 Democrats Unite to Toss Aside Sanctity of Life: 5 of Their Most Extreme Abortion Positions

There’s a tug of war happening in the country, as pro-life bills limiting abortion make their way into state law in stark contrast to pro-abortion positions coming from 2020 Democratic presidential candidates.

The hot-button issue of abortion has engulfed headlines as several states recently passed laws — from the nation’s strictest in Alabama that bans nearly all abortions to the passage of “heartbeat bills” in Ohio and Georgia, as well as a vow from South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster to sign his own state’s “heartbeat bill” should it pass.

While some lawmakers in multiple states are pressing forward with bills to ban abortions, several 2020 Democratic candidates are pulling the opposite way.

Abortion isn’t a new controversial topic. It’s been talked about in homes around the country, and even the world, for decades — especially dating back to 1973 when the Supreme Court decided on Roe v. Wade and ensured a woman’s choice to abortion.

However, here are five ways Democrats are getting extreme with their abortion stances ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

Repealing the Hyde Amendment

Former Vice President Joe Biden flip-flopped on whether the Hyde Amendment — which blocks federal funds from paying for abortion services — should be lifted, steering away from his statement to a constituent in 1994 when he declared to “abide by the same principle” that “those of us who are opposed to abortion should not be compelled to pay for them.”

“As you may know, I have consistently — on no fewer than 50 occasions — voted against federal funding of abortions,” Biden wrote at the time.

The 2020 hopeful is now pushing an extreme abortion position by desiring to lift the Hyde Amendment, bluntly saying on May 8 that “it can’t stay.”

Additionally, Biden said on Tuesday that, “should it become necessary,” he would support abortion rights being enshrined into federal law.

Enshrining Abortion Into Federal Law

If Roe v. Wade was ever overturned, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wants to make sure abortion rights are continued by enshrining the rights into federal law.

To protect choice, Warren wrote in a Medium post that she wants to counter Republicans who want to “turn back the clock, outlaw abortion, and deny women access to reproductive health care.”

She desires to do so by calling on Congress to create federal, statutory rights to parallel Roe v. Wade, prevent states from blocking abortion rights, offer health care that covers contraception and abortion coverage, and end President Donald Trump’s gag rule.

“We must build a future that protects the right of all women to have children, the right of all women to not have children, and the right to bring children up in a safe and healthy environment,” Warren wrote.

Failing to Draw Lines on Abortion

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) refuses to draw a line when it comes to abortion based on gender.

While he said women “should be able to control their own bodies,” the self-described democratic socialist wouldn’t give his take on certain abortion restrictions, such as those based on “the sex of the child.”

“I wouldn’t use a restriction. That’s an issue that society has got to deal with, and it is of concern,” Sanders said. “I don’t know how this particular point I would deal with it.”

Stripping States’ Rights and Allowing Late-Term Abortion

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) laid out his abortion plan on Tuesday, which would include removing states’ rights to take away abortion as well as ensuring universal health care that would include benefits for abortion services. Additionally, he’d only appoint judges who view Roe v. Wade as the “settled law of the land.”

“For so long, women have been leading this fight, shouldering the burden of making sure that their reproductive rights are protected,” he said. “It is time all of us join them in this fight.”

As for controversial late-term abortion, O’Rourke said during a campaign stop in March that he’s “absolutely” for it.

“I think those decisions are best left to a woman and her doctor,” O’Rourke added. “I know better than to assume anything about a woman’s decision, an incredibly difficult decision, when it comes to her reproductive rights.”

Executive Action to Promote Abortion Rights

Sen. Cory Booker’s (D-N.J.) “White House Office of Reproductive Freedom” proposal, which he unveiled on Wednesday, would protect abortion rights by “coordinating […] abortion rights and access to reproductive health care” across federal agencies. Additionally, he joins other 2020 Democrats in looking to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law.

The 2020 Democrat vowed that on day one of his presidency, he would take executive actions in response to “relentless efforts to erode Americans’ rights to control their own bodies” by “[undoing] the damage the Trump administration and Republican state legislatures and governors have caused, but to affirmatively advance reproductive rights and expand access to reproductive care for all.”

“Republican-controlled state legislatures across the country are mounting a coordinated attack on abortion access and reproductive rights,” Booker said. “A coordinated attack requires a coordinated response.”

While 2020 Democrats are taking the more pro-choice stance on abortion, the topic likely won’t fizzle out as a huge talking point across the country ahead of the 2020 election.
