someone told him 'so turns out this abortion stuff is a losing issue, we need to turn this around, maybe start touting it as a state issue...' and he's a fucking moron who is now just repeating that over and over. he's said the phrase "state's rights" more in the last two weeks than probably his entire life...just prior to that he's on camera bragging about being the one who got rid of abortion. 🙄 is so gotdamn obvious lol

Bingo,  they talked a lot of bullshit to their base to get them excited about banning abortion, but when it actually happens and they realize the impact it will have come this November, they start shitting their pants. 


Smell the fear.


"Hours after Arizona’s supreme court declared on Tuesday that a 160-year-old abortion ban is now enforceable, Republicans in the state took a surprising stance for a party that has historically championed abortion restrictions – they denounced the decision.

“This decision cannot stand,” said Matt Gress, a Republican state representative. “I categorically reject rolling back the clock to a time when slavery was still legal and we could lock up women and doctors because of an abortion.”

“Today’s Arizona supreme court decision reinstating an Arizona territorial-era ban on all abortions from more than 150 years ago is disappointing to say the least,” said TJ Shope, a Republican state senator.

Oh, so there are examples of laws established when the US was a much younger country that don't necessarily work in this day and age?  Huh.  Knock me over with an AR-15 feather.

THEN WHY IS YOUR PARTY STILL TRYING TO DO THAT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, FUCK FACE MATT GRESS

He understands state's rights as well as we understand state's rights!  

 

We all saw the next move as coming for contraception/birth control.  But I have to admit, even my twisted mind---I didn't think the attack on reproductive care/options would be so fast and widespread.  Good news is these are behaviors indicative of a dying way of life.  Bad news is, it gets worse before it gets better.

Texas GOP can do anything they want and still win because it’s all about “owning the libs” and muh guns, muh bibles, and owning the gays.

So, contraception leads to infidelity? Huh.  Does he somehow believe that men never cheated on their spouses prior to contraception? Oh! He means wives were becoming unfaithful because somehow men have NEVER brought home chlamydia, crabs, gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis, hiv/aids, HPV, NGU, PID, scabies, syphilis, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, CMV, etc. prior to hormonal birth control being available.

With regards to his comment about men "devaluing" women; who is trying to treat women like chattel, Rep Wichgers? STAY OUT OF OUR HEALTH CARE DECISIONS, you arrogant ignorant prick.

Infidelity and the sanctity of marriage are key policy points.

Yet we only see efforts (largely successful) to regulate the female side.  What we have never seen.....not even once....is legislation to ban the sale of ED medicines to unmarried men.  If your policy goal is "do everything you can to prevent people from having sex outside of marriage," one would think that "stop the sale of boner pills to unmarried men, because an unmarried man with a boner is fornication waiting to happen" would be low-hanging fruit legislation to pass.

Yet.....not a peep.

Gosh.  

It's almost like it's just about showing women who's boss, and putting those bitches back in their rightful, subservient, right-less place.

Quote

Chaos erupted in the Arizona House on Wednesday as Democrats attempted to repeal the 1864 near-total abortion ban, only to be thwarted by the Republican majority. The raucous event, unusual for the chamber, came a day after the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that Arizona's Civil War-era abortion law stands and laid bare the raw feelings and political divisions swirling around the issue.

The fracas started when Rep. Matt Gress, a Phoenix Republican from a crucial swing district, tried to initiate a vote on repealing the law. He was cut short by a motion to recess from Rep. David Livingston, R-Peoria. Gress told The Arizona Republic he voted against the motion.

Quote

“Matt Gress is running scared because he knows that if this ban is in place, he has a hard time winning his election," said Rep. Nancy Gutierrez, D-Tucson and the House minority whip. "So, he wants this narrative out there that he is somehow the savior of women. He is not.”

Gress defended the bills he sponsored last year, saying they were efforts to protect pregnant women.

Quote

House members later returned only to adjourn until April 17 without taking any action. Gress joined with all Democrats in an unsuccessful bid to keep Wednesday's session running.

Republican Majority Whip Teresa Martinez, R-Maricopa, said there is time to work out a solution before the law takes effect in the coming weeks.

Quote

Gress insisted there are votes to repeal the 1864 law, even though his attempt on Wednesday morning failed. "We have people on our side of the aisle that feel very strongly that women should not be condemned to carry out a pregnancy to term, especially victims of rape and incest," Gress told reporters.

Ortiz filmed Gress as she approached him. "Do not fall for it," Ortiz shouted. "He does not care about the women who will die because of this horrific ban."

Quote

Rep. David Cook, R-Globe, indicated he would support a repeal even though he supported a 2022 bill that allowed the territorial ban to still be in effect. Cook said the Supreme Court's ruling changed the landscape, which is why he would support a repeal that is more reflective of contemporary times.

"In my business, we used to hang cattle thieves," Cook, a cattle rancher, said about outdated punishments.  Cook and Gress are the only two House Republicans to express support for a repeal and a return to a "reasonable" ban, such as a 15-week ban with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother.

Quote

At least two Senate Republicans, Shawnna Bolick of Phoenix and T.J. Shope of Coolidge, have indicated similar intentions.

The near-total ban is viewed as an obstacle for many Republicans, especially those in battleground districts in this year's elections.

Gress getting roasted by his own party

”Rep. Gress did not facilitate today's Democrat takeover of the Arizona House, he led it. In breaking the rules he voted for, he put his Republican comrades in swing districts in the line of fire for the sake of his own political ambitions, betrayed the pro-life movement, and denied the body the opportunity for the deliberation and discussion due this sensitive topic.”

“Funny how so many Republican legislators are calling for the abortion law to be repealed and Kari Lake is calling on Gov. Hobbs to call a special session, but the legislature is in session TODAY. The Democrats were all there and ready to vote yes on a clean bill just to repeal the 1864 total abortion ban law, but the REPUBLICANS voted to adjourn rather than vote on the bill. AZGOP passed a law just two years ago to ban abortion in AZ and now they know it destroys them politically but they still can’t do the right thing. Pathetic.”

Spoiler

Meet the ‘pursuer of nubile young females’ who helped pass Arizona’s 1864 abortion law

The Arizona Supreme Court has decided the law is still relevant. So let’s talk about the guy who led the body that passed it.

 
An organizer carries a clipboard with petitions for a ballot initiative to enshrine abortion rights in the Arizona constitution after the state's Supreme Court revived a law dating to 1864 that bans abortion in virtually all instances. (Rebecca Noble/Reuters)

The time has come to reflect on the life and times — especially the times — of William Claude Jones.

Jones was a “prevaricator, a poet, a politician and the pursuer of nubile young females,” according to a 1990 article published in the Journal of Arizona History, which appears to be the most comprehensive biographical report published on the life of the 19th-century rogue.

His pursuit of such nubility began with a marriage to Sarah Freeman, who bore him two children in the 1840s, when Jones would have been in his 20s or early 30s. He was a sitting member of the Missouri state legislature at the time, but his family followed him to Arkansas and then Texas as he searched for more prominent government appointments. In 1854, President Franklin Pierce eventually named him U.S. attorney for the New Mexico territory, and it was hereabout that Jones’s first wife filed for divorce.

His next wife was a girl whose name was believed to be Maria v. del Refugio, writes L. Boyd Finch, the author of the journal article. New Mexico’s delegate to Washington, Miguel Otero, was bothered by the union. He “declared that the bride was twelve years old,” Finch writes, “and that Jones had ‘abducted’ her.” Otero petitioned President James Buchanan to fire Jones for the moral failing, but Jones resigned instead.

No matter! The mid-19th century was, by any standard you or I would recognize, a hideous place for women. The predatory relationship did not end Jones’s political career; he merely moved farther west, to the Arizona territory. There, Jones supported secession from the Southern states in the impending Civil War. He also landed upon his third wife, Caroline Stephens, who was 15 years old. Claude, by this time, was around 50.

Ah, well. They were married for only a year, anyway, because in 1865, Finch writes, Jones “left Caroline. She never saw or heard from him again.”

He had boarded a train for California, and then a boat for Hawaii, where he again entered local politics, winning a seat in the kingdom’s lower house. By 1868, a local girl named MaeMae Kailihao — “reportedly a princess from a noble family” — was pregnant with his child. She was 14.

Jones and Kailihao married and had several children together until she died at the age of 28 in 1881. Then Jones wed for a fifth time, a woman named Mary Akina — age unknown — only to file for divorce two years later. Shortly after that, Jones died on the island of Maui.

Finch, Jones’s biographer, is careful to say that there is a lot about W. Claude Jones’s life that has been lost to time. We know very little about his early upbringing, or how much he might have exaggerated some of the military exploits he was known to boast about. We also, it almost goes without saying, know very little about his wives, their inner lives, and what they thought of their unions and the times they lived in.

By now you are probably wondering why in God’s name I am writing about this lecherous caricature of a man — a man whose compatriots in the 19th century recognized that he was problematic.

While Jones lived in Arizona, he was elected to represent Tucson in the 1st Arizona Territorial Legislative Assembly. And then, when that legislature convened in 1864, he was elected speaker of the House.

Story continues below advertisement

 

And it was that legislature — the one Jones presided over in 1864, after he had already abandoned his first wife, and married a 12-year-old and was just weeks away from marrying a 15-year-old, though still a few years away from marrying a 14-year-old — it was that legislature that passed a law reading, “Every person who shall administer or cause to be administered or taken, any medicinal substances, or shall use or cause to be used any instruments whatever, with the intention to procure the miscarriage of any woman then being with child, and shall be thereof duly convicted, shall be punished by imprisonment in the Territorial prison for a term not less than two years nor more than five years.”

And it was that piece of legislation that, earlier this week, was reinstated as law of the land in Arizona. It represents a near-total ban on abortion in the state. The state’s Supreme Court voted 4-2 that the 160-year-old law, put into place nearly five decades before Arizona was a state, should supersede the previous rule, which guarded the right to an abortion up to 15 weeks’ gestation. The new — and by new, I mean very old — law is scheduled to go into effect in two weeks’ time.

William Claude Jones sauntered into the wide expanse of a Southwestern territory more than 150 years ago, and this man’s morals are now the benchmark for the reproductive rights of the 7 million people who live in Arizona. Good night.

Despite my deepening belief in a higher power, I think the "Trump is the Antichrist" is just as hyperbolic as "He was sent by God/Jesus/"  However.  For shits 'n giggles with your batshit MAGA family and friends.  Game this part out:  If he was sent by God as the returned savior.  Take a look at the original 12 disciples.  And their qualities and attributes.  They can't see Trump for what he truly is, but maybe they can look at who he surrounds himself with.  Look at the 12 (non-blood family) people with whom Trump is closest to.  Let's take a look at that roster and see how it pairs up to the 12 Apostles.  

This could be the most fun board game in history.
