Full Mace: Abortion ‘Will Be An Issue’ For Republicans In The Midterms
source
I dont have time to think about the crisis what I pass and the crisis will be coming
Every day I here we are done we are shout down you lose everything and I go home to sleep to try to forget the crisis,I woke up next day to anther crisis
How are so many people in this comment section feigning outrage at suggesting anyone wants abortion up to birth? There are currently 6 states and Washington DC that allows it right now.
There is alot to talk about it
Plz I try all the time to stay calm and did not talk
And I think more than 75 %from the peaple they should think before they talk
It is not of your level and you see that this is something that only low level people do.
And what they ask me to do I all ready did it and the peaple was playing without any responsibility about my life and there life
And till here when I was the the jail and they dropped the case (self defense) that's mean there was alot of dangerous around me with samthing should not happened at all
Plan A was abortion, plan B adoption, not by those who will adopt. The consequences will be enormous. Take care of the kids we have now . They need to put their money where their mouths are.🤷♀️
The decision to make ANY decision about my body is between GOD, ME & my DOCTORS. Period.
It's amazing that Charleston South Carolina would come up in this overall conversation. Charleston South Carolina is one of the most racist southern city's in the 21st.century.The City seems like it is traped between the 1920s and the 21st.century. A town locked in the past of open slavery, racism,discrimination an disdain for black people.
I was recently in the town that is the home of Dillon Ruff the mass murderer and needed to use the rest room. I happens to visit a CVS Drug Store and inquired about the rest room facilities. An employee promptly told me that the rest room was for employees only and I should try another public place. Is this the national Policy of the CVS pharmacy nation wide?
If so black people should never do any business in any CVS store in America.
#Carolina congress woman
What a busy body… jeez.
Didn’t Roe allow up to s24 weeks? There WERE guardrails already in place for 50 years! She is lying about the “late term abortion on demand”, this is the same lie all Repubs are using. It’s not a “both sides are extreme” issue Nancy! Call out the lies Chuck Todd!
And when I lose samthing that's mean we all lose
When you want to talk talk and give gadgmet to your self and don't give and im not will accept any gadgmet from anyone
And without they did anything to change the situation and they ask me to fuces and to take advantage when they did not keep any speace for me to smile this is to match
Stacy Abrams is just mad because absolutely no one is impregnating her.
Thank you to the interviewer, for acknowledging that Stacey Abrams is having a medical science conversation. She articulates her perspective on pregnancy termination with great intellect, and understanding of how anti-choice politicians distort the issue to appeal to an ignorant voting base. Abrams knows her sh*t.
And they ask me to to be socialize after all what they did without they calculate there disgen
And all what they was talking about the handmade
If someone could point me to the evidence that some "people on the hard left support abortion right up to birth" I would really appreciate it. I have never heard these words spoken except from the pro-life side. Thanks in advance.
No white Christian conservative. I don't believe you. You want it both ways and guess what you're not going to get it both ways. Pick one or pick the door. Your god has no place in my life.
Abortion is killing innocent unborn child.
Solomon: "The wise man who loves God avoids ALL extremes"! How can you tell if you are an extremist? If you think those who disagree with you deserve to die, like Ginni T. openly declares. Is that pro life or just evil? It's most definitely NOT how you "Love your enemies"!
States can't be voting on abortion Bills, remember the left told everyone that the supreme court justices ban abortion. Or was that a lie to drive division and hate.
Democracy — allowing the general public to have a real voice in the political process and in what government and the rest of society does — should be the central issue in this election year and every election year until it happens. The corporate establishment — through the corporate news media — is committed to distracting our attention from unifying the general public into one political force that can wield real democratic power. When that happens, we can make progress and structural change on just about any issue and any aspect of government and its impact on the rest of society.
For those of us who would like to know how people can come together and change society for the common good, it is crucial to be aware that we now have the means of doing that quite effectively. It's called the internet. Nothing holds us back from acting on our own and pooling our resources to build a democratic political structure that would give the general public a powerful voice throughout society.
We need to establish an online democratic political platform in which any concerned citizen can securely log in and participate in the political system in a highly constructive and meaningful way — which would help to ensure that whatever Congress does that it will always be in the public's best interest — and this would translate into the ability of the general public to exert and wield real democratic power upon the government, and thus society itself.
Such a democratic structure, which would essentially be a public web portal, would serve multiple functions — including basic things like voting in an election, which has already been done successfully in a number of countries, or allowing people to express their opinions on any issue and have those opinions recorded and tabulated for government offices to see the results of and to analyze.
The political platform could also be a place where people educate themselves about our true history of imperialism, how society actually operates, about the nature of neoliberalism, how it began, and the devastating effect that it has on the poor and the working-class, or the history of class struggle in American history, or how American anarchists were the ones who were behind most if not all of the major social progress that was ever achieved throughout our history. All of this kind of historical information, which has not been part of traditional teachings, would do a tremendous service to the public by enlightening their minds and to give them a whole understanding and approach to what is possible.
The central function of this direct-democracy platform, however, would be the encouragement, promotion, and facilitation of the two most important activities that a free and democratic people could ever do — critical thinking about the society in which they live and engaging in rational, political discourse.
People would gather around a common cause — like a social injustice or some other systemic flaw in society — that they are passionate about, form into a group, or several groups, which would basically take the form of an online chat room but that would be set up in a highly constructive and intelligent way, and simply begin sharing their concerns and expressing their thoughts and ideas on achieving a logical, reasonable, and practical solution to the problem. The rational discourse would undoubtedly lead to some form of brainstorming sessions where a common sense solution could be produced. Once finalized, the people's official proposal (perhaps known as a pop) would then be voted on by the participating public, and if passed with a majority vote, then it would be sent to Congress for special consideration.
This is how American people can harness real democratic power, and if it can be done here in this country. with all of its diversity and so much political divisiveness and so many distractions, it could be done just about anywhere where there is broad-band access. This is not a fairy tale. This is quite real, and we can do this.
Each member of Congress would receive some kind of rating based on how responsive the representative is to the general public — who would be regarded as the main constituents of Congress — and every time that an individual logs into the platform, one of the first things seen would be the rating of their Representative and Senators. The rating system would be an additional tactic to pressure politicians with so that members of Congress always act in the best interest of the people.
And so, this is what a public, online, democratic political platform could do. Such a democratic mechanism would be a political game-changer because then there would basically be no limit to what a concerned and engaged citizenry could achieve.
I am talking about an online platform, that's it, that records, tabulates, and graphs the voice of the public so that any representative in government can simply log in and see how their constituents feel about the issue and learn about any specific ideas or proposals that they may have in resolving a particular issue. If the majority of people are dissatisfied with the representative's response, then the people would have the ability to make that known and to be put on the democratic record of that Congress member.
Students, individuals, corporations, and organizations are continually establishing some kind of online platform or web-site in order to perform a particular function or set of functions for society, and the building of a direct-democracy platform would be no different except that it would be a platform that every citizen can benefit from. Participation in this platform would undoubtedly require a certain amount of time and energy from the individual, and this would be understood. Most people make time for doing all kinds of things in their lives that are not totally necessary, and so, I would think that making time to voice their concerns and ideas about how to advance human growth and human development in the most effective way possible would be something that people would definitely want to do.
We don't need the government's permission to begin working on such a grand, social project; we just need to start doing it. It would be helpful if celebrities in the mainstream media or perhaps certain organizations who specialize in producing public-interest campaigns could create a presentation to promote the establishment of an online democratic structure. Anyone involved in such efforts should expect some sort of backlash from the existing power structure, but if the public campaign is done in a very intelligent and strategic way, and if different prototypes are made for the public to try out and to get comfortable with, which would help to promote the overall concept of the project, then the powers that be will bend.
A possible slogan for the activists of such a movement could be: Keep Calm, and Make the Logical Argument. When you hear voices from the media start downplaying and ridiculing the importance of critical and logical thinking, or accuse us of being reckless and irresponsible, that would be a good sign of the cracking of the existing power structure.
"Abortion 'Will Be An Issue' For Republicans In The Midterms" so let's otherwise #ConvinceItForward

Democrats are "far right"? I keep hearing the gop parrot that endlessly. NOT TRUE. The truth is that the rethuglicans have lurched so far to the right anything would be considered leftish in comparison!NOT TRUE what she says about abortion in European countries. I live in Europe!
The Republican woman Mace wanna spin it..these republicans are all the same..before election go to the middle and after elections show their true beings..she’s a trumpian and a fraud. Listen to her not answering his question she’s a typical politician..she’s just there filibustering.
see BABY CENTER – WEEK BY WEEK
And 9% inflation will be an issue for commiecrats.
Actually a very sensible Republican. Nice to see
https://youtu.be/QMz_6hvo3Ms this lady should not be trusted.
My sister-in-law carried a dead baby for 9 months because back then she didn't have a choice. She never got over it!!!!!!
Rep Nancy Mace has no problem criticizing the Dems. You will never see her criticizing any of Trump's words or actions or anyone in the GOP.
Abortion is a touchy subject, but it won't be a factor in the 2024 Presidential Election, because Americans are absolutely freed up with the direction (under this present Administration) our Economy is headed & the way America is being throttled by China & Russia!!!
Believe me when I say, The World Needs A Strong America If Freedom Is Going To Exist!!!
I just saw the insulin cap was not passed. What is wrong with these people??? Insulin rationing is a huge problem, of which they are not aware because they are too insulated from real life with their fully paid excellent insurance.
Along those same lines,they don’t mind shutting down the government; their pay doesn’t stop. They do not care about social security or Medicare/Medicaid because all they need to do is make it to one of the retirement ages (age 50 with 20 yrs in congress, 62/5 yrs, any age/25 yrs) and they get 80% of their annual pay for life (~$139,200 for the run-of-the-mill Congress member), on top of all the money they’ve been able to put back or invest, and their great free medical stays in place.
These benefits go for all or most of the members of Congress. So, while the Dems try and try to pass bills that would positively affect the lives of us regular people, this specific part of the inflation reduction act shows how much the republicans care about the US population; that would be none, while they sit up there in their ivory towers, breathing their rarified air and regular people struggle just to be able to afford meds that will keep them alive.
I hope every person who needs insulin remembers this and votes appropriately.
She’s complaining about lack of access to medical care in rural areas. Her state was one of the 12 that didn’t expand Medicaid
Although I appreciate her moderate views, I’m sick and tired of republicans saying that democrats want to allow abortions up until birth. That is utter nonsense
"On the far left you have people who want abortion up until birth" Ask her to name one person. Push these stupid immoral people! It's not both sides with extremes….
ABORTION the MEDICAL not Braindead Chrisitian taliban definition is "The termination of a pregnancy" That is it.
I was personally aborted at 7 months to save my live and my mothers life. Abortion literally saved me.
So clowns like the GOP not understanding the basics of a term and making laws on it because of religious belief and not medical advice. Is the problem.
She also fails to understand Roe made viability a point.
