"no amendment can overturn the God given rights with which we were born."
...so, no birth no problem then?
The really weird part was this:
The amendment's language is dangerously vague and unconstrained, and can be weaponized to attack parental rights or defend rapists, pedophiles, and human traffickers.
I mean I know that they love to mix things together, but this might be the first time I’ve seen abortion linked to pedophilia and supporting rapists.
It's just buzz phrase salad that they serve with every issue. Biden=pedo, immigrants=rapists, trans=rapist, abortion=trafficking, literally any issue=just add a,b, or c for justification. It's a tired recipe, but their customers enjoy it.
I'm pretty sure they meant that line as a reference to their own god-given right to impose their will on everyone else.
It’s really funny when they whine about outside money. I didn’t see the GOP up in arms as Citizens United passed, I don’t see them upset when they SuperPACs give money to their campaigns so it seems they only care when it affects them, big fucking shocker there….
Please proceed.
You just got pounded at the polls over this issue. Please keep the rage levels high.

Pay attention, people. Recognize who you need to vote for in 2024 to preserve the rights that YOU HAVE ALREADY VOTED FOR..
They already set the stage to ignore the election results next year. Look at how many STILL think the 2020 election results were stolen. They're either enacting laws to overturn the future results they didn't like or commandeer the offices that handle elections to ignore them.
This time next year will be a very dangerous time for the United States. Even if every sane Republican voter, who recognizes the dangers proposed, votes for a Democrat, it may not even matter. I'm not looking forward to it...
WTF America. Don't you have some sort of neutral House Constable with powers to kick out these idiots in cases like this? How can they just ignore official results without consequence?
It sounds like there needs to be a bottom-to-top reform of the law where every 'norm' that used to be assumed, gets new enforceable law to back it up.
Don't you have some sort of neutral House Constable with powers to kick out these idiots in cases like this?
No, we have an impartial judiciary system that...... oh wait...
The Republicans think they have a right to rule us without our consent. Sooner or later the military may have to get involved.
The party of Lincoln sure doesn't seem like they want a Government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
The most worrying part of this press release is the part where they're saying they're going to try and reign in the powers of the judiciary to enforce the abortion amendment. Sure sounds a lot like fascism to me.
Sure sounds a lot like fascism to me.
Funny thing, it also looks, smells and feels like it too! I wonder why that is? Please don’t ask me to taste it.
I'm sure some of their Republican voters will be thrilled to hear that...
Oh by the way, I thought the GOP were about state rights?
Not long ago I read the best explanation of conservative brain cancer ever. If you look at everything they say and do through this lens, it all actually makes sense. It's insanity, but it does make sense internally.
"I get to tell you what to do; you do not get to tell me what to do."
That's it. That's their insane logic. They can't even elucidate it, but they all follow it.
Exactly. Republican legislators want to rule you, not represent you.
They are about their power and their control. Nothing else.
L'etat c'est moi.
They believe that they are the state, and that they should have absolute authority to rule over the residents without any federal government oversight.
"You lost. Get over it." -- Republicans, 2016
This is their way of admitting to using foreign interference in our upcoming elections.
Hey Republicans. Prove your specific god exists, and I'll recognize that you have god-given rights.
In the meantime, we have real, objective proof that you lost and need to STFU.
Yes someone posted this on Lemmy so now I can say what I want…
….maybe someone needs to revoke their license to living?
If they want to rule like kings than they can be treated as such
Sounds like they wanna take our freedoms. Hey, didn't we go to literal fucking war over that once or twice?
Supreme court here we come..... oh no....
Issues of State law go to the State supreme court.
Sometimes the Federal court butts in, but those cases are rare.
We watch while another group tries to overthrow ~~an~~ two elections.
Can the legislature be forced to follow the people's mandate by law enforcement? We seriously need to pass laws that jail legislators who fail to act in a timely manner on the peoples will
Laws for thee, none for me my Goodman.
Time for a People V. Legislature of Ohio.
I am sickiof big government Republicans
