The "States' Rights Smokescreen"

 

Michael Starr Hopkins, writes in The Hill about the tap dance the Malignant Loser and MAGA Republicans are doing over their wildly unpopular position on reproductive choice:

"The Republican Party’s efforts to drastically limit if not completely eradicate access to abortion in Florida and Arizona is not isolated. It is part of a larger, insidious plan to ban abortion nationwide. These states are merely testing grounds for a broader assault on women’s reproductive rights across the country.

While Republicans may attempt to frame their efforts as a matter of 'states’ rights,' this is nothing more than a deceptive smokescreen designed to obscure their true intentions. The ultimate goal is to implement a total abortion ban, and the states’ rights messaging is simply a means to that end. By chipping away at abortion access state by state, they hope to create a patchwork of laws that will effectively make the procedure inaccessible for millions of women.

We cannot afford to be fooled by this rhetoric. The echoes of 'states’ rights' have been heard before, used to justify the oppression and subjugation of entire populations. Now, it’s being wielded once again as a weapon against women’s bodily autonomy."  (our emphasis)

The more reproductive choice comes up in states like Arizona, it demonstrates why the striking down of Roe v. Wade is a political albatross around the Malignant Loser's neck, who in his latest remarks said Arizona had gone "too far" with its medieval ban on abortion. That comment followed his pronouncement that states should be left to decide matters of women's reproductive choice. It's deliberately misleading to allow the Malignant Loser to get away with running a campaign where one camp in MAGAworld hears one thing and another camp hears another.  Dems need to remind voters, who back reproductive choice by 70%, who caused this chaos: the Malignant Loser and his Supreme Court appointees.
