We are in a new & dangerous political climate.

Here's when I knew:

I live in a rural area of a deep red state. Shortly after our move here, I was stunned at the sight of a Confederate flag on Main Street. I emailed the mayor an objection and received no response. Shortly after, our neighbor across the street from us, put up a BIG confederate flag secured to their their front porch facing my house. It was the home of the police chief's son. I don't think that was a coincidence. Message received.

Republicans know what's coming in November.

The message out of Kansas was loud and clear! Expect an unusually high turnout. EVERYONE I talk to on this issue conveys disgust at the lack of exceptions for rape or incest in our state!! I live in a red red state and they often mention the story about the 10 year old as an added wrong which should be corrected!

We have an opportunity to send a message in November! I can't wait!!

DU, I have an idea re: Roe v Wade

We have been told the votes do not exist to codify Roe v Wade as a federal right via federal law. But what if we took one aspect of it which is very likely to pass and nullify no exceptions for rape or incest. It's the most insidious aspect. Force a vote.

Would Republicans actually rally in opposition?

Let them try the 'God's will' justification.

It would boldly illustrate how out of touch they are with the American people.
