Republicans want National Abortion Restrictions

[angrychair]

In exchange for extension of ACA subsidies that will just expire in September 2026 but not the abortion restrictions will be permanent.

“That’s what we’re going to negotiate,” Thune told reporters before the Senate passed the bill to end the government shutdown. “A one-year extension along the lines of what [Democrats] are suggesting, and without Hyde protections — there’s just not even, doesn’t even get close.”

Thune’s demand for more stringent abortion limits on Obamacare money is backed by colleagues, including Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., an outspoken proponent of extending the ACA funds, as well as Sens. Steve Daines, R-Mont., and Mike Lee, R-Utah.

Rounds warned that “you won’t get any” Republican votes to extend the money without more stringent abortion limitations.

Republicans are now rehashing the same blackmail as they just did. Hopefully no Democrat in the Senate falls for the same blackmail.

1. We are back to the Garland argument.

Three explanations:
Innocent, let it happen, made it happen.

2. There's an argument?

Please, you are being way too kind.

3. Gee, whatever happened to "the states should decide"?

They couldn't possibly be hypocrites, could they?

4. That's because

deep down they know that the world would have been a better place if they had been aborted and that scares them.
