Mike Pence Says Stripping Women of Rights More Important Than Midterm Gains

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Vice President Mike Pence says he believes implementing a national abortion ban and continuing the conservative fight to restrict bodily autonomy for women “is profoundly more important than any short-term politics.”

The comments came in an interview with RealClearPolitics, during which Pence urged his fellow Republicans not to “shrink from the fight” after some GOP legislators distanced themselves from an effort by South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham to implement a national abortion ban. Some Republicans are wary that a push for a federal ban could galvenize pro-choice voters in the Novemeber midterms and cost them highly coveted legislative seats.

When asked on Tuesday if he would bring Graham’s measure to the Senate floor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said “most of the members of my conference prefer that this be dealt with at the state level.”

Republican lawmakers have been disingenuously framing abortion as a “states rights” issue in order to mitigate the backlash to the Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade, but the effort to implement a federal abortion ban has been in the works since far before the Dobbs decision in June.

1. What a fucking dickhead.

We get your "religion", Mike It's the religion of getting elected by the anti-christianists that vote for you.

[FloridaBlues]

2. I hope all women take notice on what republicans will do if they

Get control this year or in 2 years. We have to continue this fight.

[brush]

3. And this poor, deluded fool still thinks he has a chance of being president.

He's still kissing up to maga republicans, and trump indirectly with those sentiments.

The man can't read the room.

[Ray Bruns]

21. Jesus came to him in a dream and said it would be.

Which makes it even more crazier than thought

[Sogo]

4. So, this is the hill he's decided to die on?

Sure sounds like it....

[niyad]

13. May it be so!

[keithbvadu2]

26. The hill he almost literally died on was Capitol Hill when he upheld the Constitution for the electo

The hill he almost literally died on was Capitol Hill when he upheld the Constitution for the electoral votes.

He tried not to upheld the Constitution, though.

[Slammer]

30. hilly

If we give him enough hills, he'll eventually die on one of them...especially if the MAGA crowd keeps gunning for him.

[BigmanPigman]

5. GOOD!!!

The Dems couldn't pay enough money to assist in the Dems' victory in the midterms as this statement provides for our victory.
Thank you Linseed and Fly-head for this gift!! We appreciate your assisting us in the midterm elections. You have provided us a clear path for a victory. Keep it up GQP!!! We love it!

[Cracklin Charlie]

6. I am starting to feel like these nasty people have a hidden agenda.

They want to make it okay for them to abuse/use women and children in whatever manner they see fit, with no repercussions.

How does gross Mike feel about the Christian “troubled kids” boarding schools all over the country, where kids and adults are routinely abused, and farmed out as slave labor? Are there any such facilities in Indiana? Do they give campaign cash to gross Mike?

What do gross Mike and his friends plan to do with/about all the little babies who are given up for adoption? That one makes me a little nauseous.

Why do they think that we all have to adhere to their shifting biblical “rules”?

[OMGWTF]

14. The unwanted babies will be sold at a for-profit

Christofascist adoption agency and will be raised by religious wackos to create more religious wackos.

I don’t need religion because I have a conscience. This freaking sh!t is about domination and control.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

7. The radicalized Republican party is the American Taliban -- they want your submission or death.

The Republican party's efforts to suppress voters and subjugate women is ongoing.

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

8. ROEVEMBER IS COMING.

THAT'S ALL.

[patphil]

9. Republicans will claim state's rights until they're able to pass a federal abortion ban.

It is SO very important to vote this fall and maintain Democratic control of the Congress.

Personally, Mike Pence is an absolutely evil man.

[niyad]

10. May he, and his enablers, receive everything they deserve.

[Hekate]

20. Indeed

[Martin68]

11. That's what we want to hear! The GOP has shackled themselves to a losing platform.

For so long these GOP has benefitted from being anti-choice for women, but now they want to cut themselves loose because it has become a stinky albatross around their neck. Meanwhile, hard-liners like Pence won't let them wriggle out of their anti-choice disaster. Let's hope Pence persuades enough people to make a difference.

[Bettie]

12. And every Democratic ad run anywhere

should comment on their absolute hatred for women and their desire to strip us of our rights.

[kimbutgar]

15. So if Mike Pence's daughter is raped by a black/brown man and she ends up pregnant

He’s ok with her carrying that rapists baby?

That’s a question I always want to ask these white racist anti pro choice republicans.

[Dan]

29. Then we will discover that somethings exceed the speed of light

That being, his daughter getting an abortion.

[EnergizedLib]

16. Okay, Mike, have it your way

Just don’t complain when your party gets what’s coming in November and in subsequent elections people work to restore rights.

[Evolve Dammit]

17. He and Laura Ingraham. Real nazis right here. He even took over her radio show as guest host years

ago. I smell a big storm coming. Christo-fascism and white supremacy are coming together. When the Orange One is indicted, his threat to DOJ may come to action in the name of "saving" America from the "insane radical left." "Going to have to fight like hell." They view themselves as true patriots and agents of God.

[keep_left]

18. Don't forget the execrable Raymond Arroyo, "news" director for radtrad network EWTN.

He subs for Ingraham and is also a frequent guest on her shows (both radio and TV). She might occasionally have even worse guests and subs, but his constant smugness is really infuriating. And he is on her shows all the time.

[Evolve Dammit]

19. there are many that fine-tuned the Limbaugh model. The reach has been very effective over 40 years.

[Timeflyer]

22. So assault weapons in hands of 18 year old boy, good, but a woman controls her reproduction, bad...

Yeah, like they never shrink from the fight for the NRA blood money.

[niyad]

23. Mother must be really desperate to be president. . . errr, ahhh, first lady.

Pretty damned clear who holds the power with those two.

[Heather MC]

24. Another wealthy white man that's never seen a vagina

Thinking he has a right to speak on s*** that is above him.
These Republican men need to learn their places.
All men were ever supposed to be was grateful to the mother for putting her life on the line to bring life into this world.

These b******* have forgotten their place

[COL Mustard]

25. Mike Penis says what now?

Good luck getting that agenda passed, Mike.

[keithbvadu2]

27. Republicans... Take loud, full credit for Roe overturn... Brag, Boast, Own it! Don't be shy.

[Kath2]

28. Roe-vember.

[OldBaldy1701E]

31. Please please please

I wish that we could get many, many more females in Congress and then each one offer up a bill that would force men who fathered children and then abandoned them to have mandatory vasectomies. Also in cases of rape and other such crimes. Then, watch how fast the hypocrisy comes to the surface. PLEASE let this happen!
