The Christian Taliban are working really hard to impose their religious dogma on everyone.  They must be resisted fiercely.
You didn't abort the fetus, you need to just play clown world games like they do. By calling the action an abortion you assign intent to that.
it was trespassing on your private property after you told it three times to leave. After three warnings it was still on your private property and made no attempt to leave.
Then you stood your ground because you were in fear for your life, it was impossible to retreat because the perp was inside of you without consent.  Classic self defense case.
Somebody with a big brain and a law degree could probably figure out a clownish but legally justified argument along these lines.
That unemployed fetus didn't accept Jesus into his heart so lets be honest he was going to hell anyhow. >

Lawyer here, the reality is the party of law and order is asking for all investigative and police resources to be spent on abortion instead of other things - like people raping children.  
The reality is, if there is a justification the cops stop their investigations before the justification.  That places the burden on the defense.  As a defense lawyer, I have had a lot of fun dragging out cases through motions and defense investigations. 
For cases like these, we need to empower sanctions against the state actors when they stop investigating before the justifications can be established. All too often, these defendants spend tens of thousands of dollars to achieve Justice. >

Republicans in a single disgusting stroke hope to intimidate women, keep the cops busy off their scent, and most of all ensure an ongoing supply of new children to rape.
Truly a masterful display of pure depravity, So disgusting it's surreal.
When it comes to being a degenerate psychopath the GOP leaves no stone unturned.
You are heroic to go the extra mile helping defendants and take joy in that though. Finding time to write out comments on top of that really shows you are a class act.
As for me I'm going to beat my head against the wall until the world seems okay again. >

We both beat our heads.  Just in different ways.  
It’s a grind though. I think sanctions against state actors is the only route that would work.  It’s not even about personal liability at this point, but a judge saying “you lied” and allowing an non-state attorney to prove the case. 
Currently, the state holds all the prosecution cards. So if a cop lies, it’s up to the prosecutor to charge perjury. Which they won’t ever do. 
Allowing officers of the court to hold state actors financially accountable is the only recourse that will work. >

I'm quite confident at this point the GQP is going to implode over the next few years as the continue to push more and more extreme policies. Openly talking about restoring miscegenation laws and banning birth control is not the way to win new voters in the 21st century. the lack of real policy and the need to engage in constant and escalating culture wars is going to push them into irrelevance. but in the process there's going to be a lot of pointless pain and suffering, which seems to be part of the point. >

Its not about gaining new voters its about using any means necessary to enforce a white Christian nationalist agenda on America. Violence, lies threats is completely justified in order to reach those goals. The GOP might implode but they will take down the government with it. These people are religious zealots and we need to take that seriously. History has shown over and over again zealots are extremely dangerous. >

Hand Maidens Tale is their playbook >

unfortunately I think you're correct. especially the part where the right wing foments violence until there is an emergency declared and the crackdown can begin. kind of like the brownshirts 80 years ago. >

It's a $300,000,000 dollar per year business.    Only a matter of time until a legion of armor plated lawyers lay siege to their sniveling little weenie asses. >

All the better to lose elections.   The abortion issue has completely turned around and is a BIG loser for GOP to the point of them fighting to keep it off the ballot even in the reddest of states.  Kansas voters, the reddest of Red states, voted against the GOP's efforts to enslave women with forced child birth.
And stopping pills is near laughable. >


And stopping pills is near laughable.

And legally questionable since those same pills have been approved for use by a federal agency, the FDA.
So trying to place controls on them beyond what the federal government is already doing is just going to fly. >

The GOP House is going to introduce legislation (it will never get passed Senate or White House) to make abortion illegal.   Bad for women but good for exposing GOP and leading to defeat in 2024. >

At this point, people in blue states ought to just do what they do in South Korea. They should get a bunch of balloons, wait until the air is blowing in the direction of the red state, tie a bunch of abortion pills to them wrapped up in plastic baggies, then let them go to where they are needed. I'm pretty sure littering charges are something you can beat in court. >

Well quell surprise.
