THREAD: There’s a lot of disinformation on this app attempting to rewrite history on where the Democratic Party has been on abortion. Here’s a thread debunking the top 3 🧵⬇️

@davidhogg111
could campaign for Val Demings in his home state of Florida and make her the 51st vote we’d need to pass the legislation he claims to care about.
The alternative seems to be bashing the Democratic Party on Twitter instead.
Black Men and Women who were spit on at lunch counters in the ‘60s saw the importance of voting and leveraging political power to change laws.
I don’t understand the “voting won’t help” logic in the face of the current adversity.
@NARAL
@PPFA
BONUS: Every state with a Democratic trifecta has abortion access and will likely become sanctuary states for women’s reproductive health so maybe Dems are the right people on this issue? Idk. 🤷🏾♂️
If RBG had retired after the GOP regained the Senate in 2010, do you really think McConnell would’ve held a confirmation hearing for her replacement? If so, Merrick Garland would like to have a word.
6/10
Secondly, The Dem Senate conference was WAY more centrist 13 years ago. Picture 5+ Joe Manchins & they actually threaten to tank the ACA w/o multiple concessions.
To expect complete ideological purity from 60 senators with such a diverse constituency is ridiculous anyway.
4/10
However, since he’s been in the Senate (2012) he has a LITERAL PERFECT PRO-CHOICE VOTING SCORE from
@NARAL
&
@PPFA
. He's also said on record that he believes that issues of intimacy & reproduction are personal decisions that the government should not interfere with.
9/10
2. RBG SHOULD'VE RETIRED EARLIER
Of Obama’s 8 years as president, 6 were with Mitch McConnell as Senate Majority Leader. Under the 2 years ('09-10) that Dems lead the Senate, both Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Justice Elena Kegan were confirmed by a Dem-Controlled Senate.

It is absurd to think that abortion rights activists might've chosen to sit out the 2016 election due to Tim Kaine when the literal other choice was Donald Trump who campaigned on appointing judges who would overturn Roe.
10/10
Also, conventional wisdom was that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 election and my personal belief is that RBG wanted the first woman President to appoint her replacement.

1. OBAMA HAD A SUPERMAJORITY
By deliberately ignoring the 2008 financial crisis, the Auto Bailout, and the Affordable Care Act, this talking point is attempting to obscure the legislative priorities of the time.
Let’s address two things:
2/10
Firstly, There were only 60/59 Democratic Senators for about 72 working days in 2009 and that time and political capital was expended to address the aforementioned priorities.
3/10
3. HILLARY CLINTON PICKED A PRO-LIFE VP CANDIDATE IN 2016
Firstly, Tim Kaine, as most politicians have, evolved on this issue. As a Catholic he personally opposed abortion and has supported pro-choice initiatives as Virginia's governor.

Between 2019-2020, these 23 companies donated to homophobic and anti-trans candidates despite publicly re-branding for pride month. 🌈
The companies and their amounts are below. A thread ⬇️🧵

BTW: It’s totally normal for a man in his 70s to get sick. But this administration will never concede that. They’ll lie when the truth was good enough.
*most* of the smoke for Joe Biden exists because y’all don’t wanna do the work and you want someone to fix it with a magic wand.
The government isn’t structured that way.
Don’t let the Twitter leftists convince you of a different narrative:
A majority of voting Americans are NOT on this app and will find out about loan forgiveness via local news and will be 100% grateful for $10-20K.
Anytime y’all say “Congress should pass…” there’s has likely been a bill introduced by a Democrat or it’s already been passed by the House and there aren’t 10 GOP votes in the Senate.
The issue isn’t “Congress,” it’s Republicans.
This is what we mean by performative activism. You change your Twitter profile to a Pride flag but your actively financing homophobic policy agendas.
Make it make sense.
@PepiSouthern
There are multiple congresspeople from her same class who have passed MULTIPLE bills. You should’ve looked that up before typing all those words.
👨🏻⚖️ Ultra-conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are in their 70’s having a Democratic President appoint their liberal successors and confirmed by a Democratic Senate is really the entire ballgame.

If you don't think pro-choice Democratic are the people for the job, take a look at states that have Democrats in full control of government--They all have abortion protections.
Please RT, thanks

Oh, and 17 of these companies donated to candidates advancing anti-trans legislation in Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Texas and Florida.

Biden: "We need 2 additional pro-choice senators & a pro-choice House to codify Roe as federal law. Your vote can make that a reality. I know it's frustrating & it made a lot of people very angry. But the truth is this... women of American can determine the outcome of this issue"
ABORTION THREAD:
There are a number of SCOTUS/Roe/Dobbs decision workarounds floating around and I wanted to push back on why 5 of these “plans” are unlikely to to work and what *can:* 🧵⬇️

The cancel student debt movement is being disingenuously framed as a “rights” issue and that’s a slap in the face to the actual rights being stripped from anybody not white, straight and male right now.
DA's have prosecutorial discretion on what resources they allocate to certain crimes and what crimes they prosecute and a number of DA’s have come out and said they will NOT enforce anti-abortion prosecution laws (see: Fulton County, Georgia).

Re Garland, I think it's clear that the Jan 6 committee put a fire under his ass, which to me was the whole point of the hearings.
If you need to think "*actually* Garland has been playing 3D chess all along and was 18 steps ahead" that's fine too.
Action is the key.
Biden said he's "not concerned about what they might find, because I know the truth of the matter. I know that this claim has no merit. But as a candidate for president, I'm accountable to the American people & I welcome that accountability and the scrutiny of the press as well."

Laws banning abortions, just like the ones for jaywalking, are just words on a sheet of paper unless they’re actually enforced.

2. Judges
The Supreme Court judges in some states are elected officials. In Louisiana, a state judge just blocked the abortion ban in the state and the abortion clinics will re-open on Tuesday.

It’s the lack of reading comprehension for me. Smh.
1. SETTING UP CLINICS ON INDIGENOUS LAND:

It's unbelievable how many people didn't notice their instinct for colonization when uttering these words.

3. Governors
Governors in swing states and red states can be a firewall for GOP legislatures without a veto-proof majority. Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan and Tony Evers in Wisconsin are perfect examples of this.

110 over the course of 3 years? The US averages 800 deaths per week just by guns alone. So <.09% murders in 3 years were black on Asian?
Seems cherry-picked.

The marriage counselor was spot on.
Look at how he got mad for her pointing out what the counselor said when he literally had just done the same thing.
2. Police Chiefs:
It’s equally as important to look at police races if this is an elected office in your municipality. There may be pro-choice, anti-arrest candidates in your respective races.

It’s important to note that Hillary Clinton would’ve appointed a liberal justice to this judgeship.
Remember that when somebody tells you both parties are the same.
This is Matthew Kacsmaryk, the Trump judge in Texas who just halted the FDA’s 23-year-old approval of abortion pills in EVERY state, making their distribution illegal in a week.
He previously said LGBT people are “disordered.” Republicans confirmed him to be judge for life.
Example: A GOP candidate for AG in Michigan has vowed to enforce the 1931 ban in the state. The Dem candidate & incumbent Dana Nesell has vowed to not enforce it. Elections matter.

Maintaining a Democratic majority in the House is critical to codifying Roe. The House has already passed a bill but it has stalled in the Senate. Find out who’s running in your district.
