Republicans Don’t Trust Voters on Abortion
They say states should decide, but then try to block residents from weighing in.

Why am i not surprised about Robinson.....smh....especially after sometimes listening to his rant fuel speeches, and his right wing bullshiterery ......
oh looks like Gaetz is back in hot water over his parties....
New Court Filings Place Matt Gaetz at a Party at the Center of the Sex Trafficking Scandal
This is the first public filing that cites sworn testimony alleging that Gaetz attended one of the long-rumored parties with a teenage girl.www.notus.org
With the November election looming just weeks away, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was once again tied to a party that included underage high school girls and drugs in a late-night filing made available to the public on Thursday.
According to a report from Jose Pagliery at NOTUS, the specter of a sex scandal has once again bloomed for the controversial Florida Republican at the same the time the GOP is reeling over another sex scandal involving North Carolina gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson.
As Pagliery wrote, Gaetz is accused of attending "a drug-fueled sex party in 2017 with the 17-year-old girl at the center of the alleged sex trafficking scandal" in a court filing in Florida posted just before midnight in Florida.

The NOTUS report states, "The minor, who was a junior in high school at the time, arrived in her mother’s car for a July 15, 2017 party at the Florida home of Chris Dorworth, a lobbyist and friend of Gaetz’s, according to a court filing written by defense attorneys who interviewed witnesses as part of an ongoing civil lawsuit Dorworth brought in 2023."
While Dorworth dropped his lawsuit, his lawyers listed the allegations in the filing as part of their efforts to recoup legal fees still due to them.
This could create more problems for the Florida Republican who is already at the center of a House Ethics Committee investigation looking into allegations of sexual misconduct.
As for the new filing, NOTUS is reporting, "One eye witness cited in the court filings, a young woman referred to as K.M., provided a sworn affidavit that claimed the teenage girl was naked, partygoers were there to 'engage in sexual activities,' and 'alcohol, cocaine, ecstasy… and marijuana' were present. The teenage girl was identified in the filings only as A.B," adding, "The defense lawyers filed testimonies from those three women — who the attorneys say placed Gaetz at Dorworth’s house that night — under seal pending a judge’s approval to make the records public."
"This marks the first time that sworn testimony has been referenced in public court filings alleging that the congressman attended one of the long-rumored parties tied to an alleged underage sex scandal," Pagliery added.

I'd like to see Kevin McCarthy run with this.
Yeah no joke 4 years ago in Trump's America women were safe enough to be like:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday that the death of a young Georgia mother who died after waiting 20 hours for a hospital to treat her complications from an abortion pill shows the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions.
Amber Thurman’s death, first reported Monday by ProPublica, occurred just two weeks after Georgia’s strict abortion ban was enacted in 2022 following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn nationwide abortion rights. Trump appointed three of the justices who made that decision and has repeatedly said he believes states should decide abortion laws.
“This young mother should be alive, raising her son, and pursuing her dream of attending nursing school,” Harris said in a statement. “Women are bleeding out in parking lots, turned away from emergency rooms, losing their ability to ever have children again. Survivors of rape and incest are being told they cannot make decisions about what happens next to their bodies. And now women are dying. These are the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions.”
Harris brought up Thurman’s “tragic” case just hours later again during a sit-down interview with a trio of journalists from the National Association of Black Journalists. She is likely to continue raising Thurman’s death through Election Day as Democrats try to use the issue of abortion access to motivate women voters. Harris said she wants to restore Roe v. Wade protections if elected president, an unlikely feat that would require a federal law passed with bipartisan support from Congress.
The federal government has determined that dozens of pregnant women have been illegally turned away from emergency rooms, and the number of cases spiked in abortion-ban states like Texas and Missouri, following the Supreme Court’s ruling. An Associated Press report found that women have been left to miscarry in public bathrooms, wait for treatment in their cars or told by doctors to seek care elsewhere. Women have developed infections or lost part of their reproductive system after hospitals in abortion-ban states delayed emergency abortions.
Thurman’s death is the first publicly reported instance of a woman dying from delayed care.
The Trump campaign said on Tuesday that fault rests with the hospital for failing to provide life-saving treatment.
“President Trump has always supported exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother, which Georgia’s law provides,” Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in an emailed statement. “With those exceptions in place, it’s unclear why doctors did not swiftly act to protect Amber Thurman’s life.”
Thurman’s case is under review with the state’s maternal mortality commission. The suburban Atlanta hospital that reportedly delayed her treatment has not been cited by the federal government for failing to provide stabilizing treatment to a pregnant patient anytime within the last two years, an AP review of federal documents found.
Thurman sought help at the hospital for complications from taking an abortion pill two weeks after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a law that mostly outlaws abortion and criminalized performing one. Even as Thurman developed sepsis, ProPublica reported, doctors at the hospital did not evacuate the remaining fetal tissue in her uterus with a procedure called a dilation and curettage, or D&C. She died on the operating table, shortly after asking her mother to take care of her 6-year-old son. ProPublica said it will release another report on an abortion-related death in the coming days.
Democrats and abortion rights advocates seized on the report, saying that it proves women’s health is suffering from draconian abortion bans, a point that anti-abortion advocates have rebuffed and discounted as misinformation.
“We actually have the substantiated proof of something we already knew: that abortion bans can kill people,” Mini Timmaraju, president for Reproductive Freedom for All, said Monday.
Hate to tell him, but Kamala *got* his goat GOOD….

Brilliant!.....want to immigrate? Just tell ICE that you are Republican = instant bus ride northDid you guys see where 98K AZ voters were off the rolls due to a mix up with new proof of citizenship rules? Since most were GOP voters, their SC ruled they could all vote in this election. It makes you wonder if the same would have happened had the shoe been on the other foot.
