Federal Judge strikes down Arkansas 12 week abortion ban

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

A major hold of serve for Democrats and Women's groups for the most part as District Court Judge Susan Webber Wright ruled that only a doctor could determine viability and not the state.

Are you insane? How is this a win for the Arkansas State Democratic Party, or Mark Pryor? Half of House Democrats originally voted for this when it came up so I'm pretty sure this ruling neither represents a win for them, nor their constituents.

You have to stop posting threads.

It represents a win for working women who compose the backbone of the Democratic coalition in Arkansas.

Seriously? Come off it.

Do you ever post anything that goes beyond advocacy for obnoxious social paternalism? This routine is getting old. There is nothing substantive behind your claims, you've consistently demonstrated that you understand nothing about American politics etc.

The decline of the Democratic Party in the South is a result of the tremendous demographic changes that have taken place over the past fifty years, not voters deciding to buck a century of tradition due to two or three social issues. Notice that Democrats were still successfully dominating many Southern states long after the social cleavages engendered by 60s social movements became salient.

That's absolute nonsense. If it had nothing to do with social issues then Republicans wouldn't be so successful at using social issues to convince Southerners to vote GOP.
And Arkansas is now quickly completing the transition to becoming a GOP state at a state level.

Can any of you explain how promoting pro-choice policies will help the Arkansas State Democratic Party win Statewide elections in Arkansas?

The Democratic base in Arkansas is overwhelmingly pro-choice. When we discuss what is good for Democrats, we are dicussing what is good for these voters according to their policy preferences rather than some autistic concern about percentages and margins of victory.
