The issue that could be the sleeping giant of the 2022 elections: CNN

The political world’s attention in recent days has largely been centered on the Russia-Ukraine crisis and Ketanji Brown Jackson’s historic Supreme Court nomination, the outcomes of which will have major implications for the future of Joe Biden’s presidency.

But there’s another issue simmering below the surface at the moment that could also go a long way in shaping the political environment heading into this year’s midterm elections: abortion.

After the US Supreme Court allowed a restrictive abortion law in Texas to remain in place, saying that abortion providers could still challenge the law in federal court, and took up a case on another in Mississippi – which is a direct challenge to the 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade ruling – Republican-controlled states have felt emboldened to pursue their own limitations on the procedure.

Four such states took further action on the hot-button issue just this week. In Idaho, GOP Gov. Brad Little signed a bill that bans abortion after roughly six weeks and allows family members of the fetus to sue abortion providers. Idaho is the first state to fully enact a law modeled on Texas’ restrictions.

You never know what the right wing will do. I never thought that Trump would be elected. The right wing is after Roe vs Wade..as the above story states. Hopefully Biden & Supreme Court will uphold Roe vs Wade.
and we all know it.

1. It isn't about just abortion.

The issue is about enslavement of all women.

2. Yes, it is about a woman's right to choose to have a baby or not..

If a woman has no choice, then the government is telling her what she must do. The same right wing that is against
abortion, is against the idea of the government telling you what to do in other areas. Like if the government mandated
everyone must get vaccinated against Covid 19, the right wing would be against it......

3. it's the damn bible

What they really want are powerless dependant cowed slaves they can control,traumatize, rape,abuse and dominate who are forced to bear their offspring and be the asshole's mommy and maid to clean up after them. Bible and god is just a tool to that end.

These assholes want to abuse and traumatize women and get away with it period.

Too many christians go along with this and never question the bible.

I hate these tyrant men.

Wish I could castrate them all.

5. Pretty much the hands maid tale right?

Except I wonder how in real life that would actually go? I'd imagine way too much resistance

4. There is no such law.

The smallpox vaccine was discontinued in 1972.

8. #1 as others pointed out, smallpox vaccination is no more. #2 the anti-vaxxer movement has ...

… crumbled the walls of immunity in our K - 12 public schools.

6. Correct.

Back to the days when a married lady was a legal extension of her husband and a lady not married was viewed with suspicion.

11. And about Republican "small government" pushing their religion into the private lives of

all Americans. With Nazi-like laws.

[Samrob]

9. I idea that my brother-in-law, whom I despise rrtcould sue me for my wife's decision

to abort a defective fetus would be enough to make me walk over broken glass to vote against these bastards.

[Wounded Bear]

10. Yep! They are out to control women...nt
