Actually solving problems requires Democrats and Republicans to work together, like they did on the recent border bill that Trump told y'all to throw in the trash. You create the problems, then refuse to solve them, then scream about the problems that you refuse to solve.

When you listen to Joe Biden, you hear hope, compassion, and a vision of a future worth having. When you listen to Republicans, America is a cesspool on the verge of Armageddon. That's why Joe Biden will win, no matter who runs against him.

You know where they have men whose job it is to micromanage everyone's life, especially women's lives?

60% of women who have abortions are already mothers, and half of them have two or more children, according to 2019 data from the CDC.

If we had better health care for women, there would be far fewer abortions. As it is, many poor women cannot afford to go to a doctor or pay for contraception or even get family planning advice. The onus is entirely on them, and they have practically no help.

Those people who want to outlaw abortion should be in favor of universal healthcare for every woman in America, free contraception at every drugstore, free childcare, and sex education in every school. But they are not in favor of any of those things.

Women would be a lot more willing to have children if they had more support. For example, universal healthcare for every woman in America, free family planning, free childcare, universal basic income. But Republicans are not in favor of any of those things.

How about John Cornyn and Ted Cruz need to do their jobs? It's Congress' job to formulate and implement immigration reform. They just refuse to do it. Probably because illegal immigrants benefit businesses that can pay them next to nothing, knowing they have no legal recourse.

If abortion is illegal, one mistake, one miscalculation, or one failed contraception and a woman will lose every bit of agency she ever had over her body and her life.
All decisions will henceforth depend on the whims of legislators who seem to know nothing about women's bodies.

You know New York is very close to Canada, right?
I don't think Canadians care for Trump.
New York is also in the middle of some very blue states that don't care for him either.
So whatever futile gesture you're making is a waste of time and money.

In 2012 an Irish woman had a miscarriage at 17 weeks. The fetus was never going to survive but it wasn't expelled during the miscarriage. Because of a strict abortion law, doctors refused to perform an abortion until the woman became ill. She developed sepsis and died. 1/2

Texas schools are some of the most underfunded in the country. Texas teachers are some of the lowest paid. Take that money that would be going to private, mostly religious schools, under Abbott's plan and put it where it belongs. With Texas public schools and Texas teachers.

In the paper today is a story about a woman with an ectopic pregnancy who was turned away by two doctors before she could get help. By the time she had emergency surgery, it was starting to rupture.
