Zombie republicans

Now for the subject of abortion. Although the issue is just as likely to create a Blue Wave/landslide that makes 2008 look like nothing, this will not change the fact that doctors are intimidated into not properly caring for women with unviable fetus’s and risking their lives. Despite the assurances of the Arizona Attorney General’s statement that the 1864 Abortion Zombie law will not be enforced, there are women with unviable fetuses in Arizona who will be denied care because some nebulous group has influence over hospitals and insurance companies that have successfully intimidated doctors from fulfilling their Hippocratic Oath through either getting fired or prosecution/prison time if a republican gets into power (by hook or by crook) before hell freezes over or the statute of limitations run out. The republicans can’t help themselves, it cost them the Senate in 2012 and will cost them far more in November, but they still somehow vaguely ignore the implication of the Dobbs Decision and try to remain a viable political entity. Take your choice of Arizona, Florida or Texas as an example of this.

If anyone wants to question this, I have a question for them, and the ‘christian’ hypocrisy of life beginning at conception don’t cut it. Let’s take that guilt trip and throw it back to the late 1970’s. I haven’t heard that for years, but it remains a staple of preaching points in the megachurches, especially the girl’s bible studies where the pastors and powerful men troll and laugh at the boys and men who take the leftovers and sloppy seconds. Why did the republicans allow the issue to cede the Senate to the Democrats in 2024 and cost you massive losses in November because of the issue of Abortion?  Perhaps the republicans believe that they can convince suburban woman just like they did as teen-agers to get laid. Are they so insulated to believe that they can guilt trip women into submission? Are they so addicted to power as not to see beyond their limited reality? Perhaps the rest of us play a roll in not calling these men out, but that is doubtful. I have confronted this and have been unfriended and threatened with ‘divine’ retribution if I don’t change my ways and enroll in some bible camp for the low price of $20,000 or whatever the also charge for ‘gay conversion’ therapy.

The question remains, why do the republicans continue with their stance on abortion when it has and will cause them great harm? Even when Jerry Falwell joined the Pope in condemning Abortion in the late 70’s (he was for it before then) the issue successfully been exploited for decades, but perhaps beginning in 2012 the issue has also been successful in turning out Democratic Votes and not just in Blue States like Missouri and Indiana. The results from Kansas and Ohio among other states are in, and it is devastating for the future of the republican party. Shall I go on?
