SCOTUS overturns Roe megathread (pg 53 - confirmed)

[Tartarus Sauce]

You can get rid of the filibuster altogether for all I care. Then abortion is legalized nation-wide, followed by a nation-wide ban on abortion as soon as the GOP takes control of Congress, followed by a nation-wide re-legalization of abortion when the Dems are back in charge, and so on.

This would either truly lead to the Second American Civil War or it would showcase the ridiculous state of American politics to everyone so people would finally come to their senses in the end. Either way the gridlock would be broken.

I hate to admit it, but I think I am becoming an accelerationist on the issue of giving free reign to the parties to pass what they want a la a parliamentary system, but there needs to be true democratic accountability to go along with it. Let the cards fall where they may, no more of this bullsh**t grandstanding and impasses. The parties must run on the policies they actually pass, and if the American public hates it they will blow them out of the water in the next election.

It's incredibly difficult to imagine how the Republican Party manages to avoid taking massive electoral losses in the future if this continues to be the optics of the pro-life movement and their elected representatives. It may not manifest during this midterm, but it's almost certainly coming down the line if the party doesn't get their extremist ideologues under control.

This kind of messaging and draconian policy framework completely undercuts the Republican's core message of being the party of liberty and portrays them as an intrusive, overreaching party of authoritarian religious zealots that want to force women to have rape babies under the mandate of the state and deny access to life-saving medication and procedures under the theoretical possibility they could induce abortions.

The pro-life movement is biting off way more than it can chew.
