Alabama, Georgia and Ohio have some us a favor

For years the "pro-life" crowd has insisted that pro-choice Americans were overreacting, that we were mischaracterizing their motives, that they weren't trying to overturn Roe v. Wade but "just" wanted to apply "reasonable" restrictions.

Although we knew they were lying, many moderate Republicans, especially women, bought it and voted accordingly.

Now everyone can see they were full of crap and that they were lied to and played like fiddles.

This surely will have some impact in 2020. Certainly, many of these people will stick to their delusional attachment to the GOP,. but just as surely, some of them will recoil and peel off.

It came in the mail and I wrote a check immediately. All because of alabama. Something tells me planned parenthood is going to get major donations in the next few months.

that the GOP sees this as a "devine" moment and that it may cost them an election or 2, but they are maneuvering to have hard right policies and judges in place that will keep their agenda going for a generation.
