Stephen King buries Susan Collins: 'Women in Texas must pay the price for her gullibility'

[kpete]

Remember when Susan Collins said she was convinced that Brett Kavanaugh believed a woman’s right to choose was “settled law?” She was wrong. Women in Texas must pay the price for her gullibility.

1. She isn't gullible

She knows exactly what she's doing. She doesn't really care about choice.

[jrthin]

2. You're right. She's not gullible. To say she is gullible

shifts the focus from her being a liar. I believe she was lying when she said what she said. She knew Kavanaugh was part of the plan to kill Roe vs Wade. She betrayed women.

[atreides1]

5. Yes, she betrayed women!

But she isn't the only woman who has...all of the women in the Texas legislature who voted in favor of this law, also betrayed women!!!

And their places in the 9th Circle, if one believes in such things, is reserved...

The Ninth Circle of Hell is divided into 4 Rounds according to the seriousness of the sin. Though all residents are frozen in an icy lake. Those who committed more severe sin are deeper within the ice. Each of the 4 Rounds is named after an individual who personifies the sin. Thus Round 1 is named Caina after Cain who killed his brother Abel, Round 2 is named Antenora after Anthenor of Troy who was Priam’s counselor during the Trojan War, Round 3 is named Ptolomaea after Ptolemy (son of Abubus), while Round 4 is named Judecca after Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus with a kiss.

11. Only the ones raped, then forced to carry the child to term

Then having to share custody of the child with their rapist.

They will feel betrayed twice.

It should be every women's CHOICE. That's the point.

[jrthin]

21. +1

[eggplant]

12. Yes. This is about rights, not what women choose to do with them.

[pjpossum]

15. They do NOT have the right to force THEIR religious views upon others.

[Politicub]

16. They betrayed women even more by subjecting them to their will.

Just because they’re women does not excuse their support of state control of wombs and citizen policing of women. It does make them more insidious, though.

There are a lot of women who are fine with the patriarchy and stripping themselves of a hard-won civil right. They remind me of gay people who vote against gay rights. They can all go to hell for all I care.

[Hekate]

18. Oh I am so over trying to be understanding & compassionate about killing women's bodies...

…killing women’s hopes… laying the burden most brutally on the most vulnerable.

You got me on the wrong day.

Welcome to DU. Enjoy your stay.

[Kali]

8. Do not presume to speak for all women

What about those women that believe abortion is wrong? Were they 'betrayed' as well?

[jrthin]

23. You've hit nail on head. There are women who want the right to

make medical choices about their bodies, yet want to deny other women the choice to manage their medical rights for their bodies.

[jrthin]

22. I speak for ALL women who demand ownership

and the right! to make decisions about their bodies. And certainly, those women who do not believe in the right to make medical choices about their bodies can feel free not to have an abortion.

[Claire Oh Nette]

24. Those women are free to choose...

Those women who believe terminating a pregnancy is wrong are free to choose to carry to term any pregnancy that falls within their own uteruii.

Just like other women, who are capable of deciding for themselves whether and when to become mothers, can make their own medical decisions.

What Roe v. Wade prevented was dead women.

WIre hangers are back, in a big way.

[StatWoman]

25. A government that can force you to carry to term . . .

. . . can force you to get an abortion. The issue is, whose decision is it?

[FoxNewsSucks]

29. So others should be free to choose only

if their choice is what you want it to be?

[not fooled]

35. No one is forcing those women

to have an abortion.

You are, however, forcing other women to carry the fetuses of rapists, men committing incest, etc.

[Hekate]

36. A feature of autocratic regimes is to tightly control women's fertility...

Both the Nazis & Soviets made abortion easy, but they made contraceptives hard to obtain, which meant that at any time the regime wanted more citizens all they had to do was bar access to abortion.

The Ceausescu regime in Romania outlawed both contraception and abortion, and regularly checked on women to see why they were not pregnant. The horrors of the “orphanages” ensued, populated with psychologically traumatized children whose parents couldn’t afford them and didn’t want them, so dumped them as soon as they were born.

The Chinese government decided the solution to overpopulation was the “one child” policy, backed up with draconian forced abortions. China now has millions of men who will never get a chance to marry, as families favored sons and selected for them by ultrasound if they could.

Women are moral agents, with functioning brains. Keep the Goddamned state out of it, and likewise religion, and we ourselves will choose appropriately.

* Just so you know, many religions — indeed many branches of Christianity itself, are fine with abortion being legal. So don’t tell me “religious people” are all against legalized abortions, because that is not true. Women who don’t want an abortion are 100% free to not have one, regardless of their religious beliefs or lack thereof.

38. Women who believe abortion is wrong are free to not have one.

They are free to make that choice whether abortion is legal or not. That is their right and their personal business.

If abortion is legal, then ALL women are free to make the choice they want for themselves without government interference. If it's not legal, then only those who oppose abortion are free to make the choice they want. See how that works?

The government is not making people have abortions they don't want, and that is as it should be. People have the right to make their own decisions about such personal matters, based on their own beliefs, not those of the government or people who happen to disapprove of certain choices.

41. Yes, all women were betrayed.

Control over your own body is a human right. What you do with it is your choice.

[MontanaMama]

9. +1. Collins was probably chosen

by McConnell to pretend to believe Kavanagh. It was all orchestrated.

[KS Toronado]

34. Believe you are correct, that's just how politics work in the big league

And Collins is good at being "concerned" when she isn't.

[LenaBaby61]

6. THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[sop]

7. Exactly.

[qazplm135]

10. Bingo

It's an act to get just enough moderate votes to win.

[jcgoldie]

17. That was my reaction

Shes not gullible shes a liar.

[lagomorph777]

40. Exactly. She's a hard-right nutcase who uses mumbly language.

Not gullible, just evil.

[Irish_Dem]

3. She is not gullible in the least. She is bought and paid for.

[Rebl2]

4. Absolutely!

[Goodheart]

13. I don't believe Susan Collins was "gullible" on the matter... just fucking dishonest

[BlueLucy]

14. Maine wants her though

We had a chance to replace her but Maine spoke loud and clear.

[Bayard]

20. As usual, Steven speaks truth

Collins is a disgrace, and dishonest. She is not gullible.

[Scalded Nun]

26. She has perfected her 'Oh, how could I have known' and 'But I sure believed him/her...silly me'

She is a deceitful, traitorous liar who wants to burn down this country just like her more outrageous colleagues.

[Traildogbob]

27. The party of

Grab em by the pussy, fuck em if YOU want to, make em birth your child, never pay support. Yet there are tons of women on board for that philosophy. Texas just got a huge hand full of pussy. Those white women must really hate black folk.

[diane in sf]

28. She's a sociopath, like many Republican politicians. Not gullible.

[Buckeyeblue]

30. Collins just wanted the attention.

She could give two fucks who the nominee was. She loved that they had to make a special trip to ask for her vote. That's all.

[NH Ethylene]

42. That's my opinion too.

She enjoyed her role of undecided pivotal vote and played it to the hilt.

[FoxNewsSucks]

31. She's a typical lying sack of shit.

It's not just the women of Texass, this fascist religous shit will spread everywhere. That's the goal, they don't really care about abortions, just control and power.

[hot2na]

32. And according to Collins, Trump learned his lesson

Collins is the biggest phony moderate. Her job is to pretend to be a moderate so she can swindle the votes of low information voters who claim to be independent but in reality have been enabling the reich wing for years now.

[Baltimike]

33. She's concerned. She's oh so concerned. nt

[Cognitive_Resonance]

37. She's deceitful not gullible. Knows full-well what she is doing. Contemptible con artist. nt

[Cha]

39. KR Rt TY

43. Susan Collins sucks tRump's leaky ass

INCOMING IMAGE!!!

[JonAndKatePlusABird]

45. At this point, if you're honestly and earnestly believing what Susan Collins says

you're the gullible one. This ain't rocket science.
