Remember when conservatives used to pretend thety were against unelected activist judges? Whatever happened to that?

Don’t worry…. they still pretend that they are.

They love to play-act.

Take this manifesto from an anti-abortion ghoul that appeared in the Moonie Examiner.

Quote
But in a post-Roe America, the pro-life movement’s focus will shift from judges to lawmakers. It must be matched by an urgency to craft strong support policies such as paid family leave. The goal, however, will be the same: to make abortion politically unpopular, legally unobtainable, and culturally unwanted.
...
A pro-life federal strategy must also recognize that the government has a responsibility to support and encourage family formation in more ways than just one. Protecting unborn life from intentional killing is obviously the movement’s focus. But just as important is providing material aid to mothers and families in need, and rewarding them for bringing life into the world in spite of the many difficulties that can accompany such a decision. The grassroots of the pro-life movement have been working to do this for years through pregnancy resource centers across the country. It’s time for the government to take on part of the burden as well.

In the supposedly liberal New York Times, Ross Douthat says something similar about "pro-life" activists potentially prodding conservative governments to push more generous family policies.

This is all kayfaybe, of course. Nothing about R. v Wade stopped "pro-life" activists from pushing for these policies before and conservative governments have had 50 years to enact such things if they wanted to. But they didn't and there's no compelling reason to think they'll start now, especially since the benefits of expansive pro-family policies will disproportionately accrue to *those* people.

50 people trying to cross the border found dead inside truck trailer


Soup-brained Republican Governor blames Biden and "open borders", forgetting that an open border would mean that people wouldn't have to smuggle themselves across in trucks.

Remember when these jagoffs were running around calling leftists and liberals pedo gromers?


Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn told journalists that he believes even 12-year-old girls **** by their fathers and uncles should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term because "every life is valuable."

Wow. Just wow. I'm sure Mr. Speaker would have a different view if he actually raised a child created by an insestuous union. He'd abandon it on someone else's doorstep in no time.

Happy Canada Day, belated!

I am shocked, shocked I say.

I'm not shocked that he thinks young girls should carry their rapist's baby to term. I am shocked that he would make such a direct statement.

Usually when I see a republican confronted with the fact that girls will be forced to give birth to a rapist's babies, they rapidly try to change the subject. Say "Now is not the time to discuss that". Or try to talk about how horrible the crime is and how the guilty person should be punished.

The fact that this Phillip Gunn is so open and upfront with his anti-woman attitude is actually rather refreshing.

The book ban movement has a chilling new tactic: harassing teachers on social media


Quote
Nancy Vera was awakened suddenly at midnight on July 12 by the sound of a single gunshot, the bullet ricocheting off her home. She looked at a security camera just in time to see a truck speed away.

Vera was shocked but not surprised. The president of the Corpus Christi, Texas, branch of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), she had recently handed out books with LGBTQ characters at a pride event for local students, alongside a drag queen.

Vera thought the event was a fun opportunity to connect with local parents and distribute books to kids. But conservatives, including her local sheriff, called the event an example of the "grooming and indoctrination of young people in our country." "Grooming" is a slur commonly used by devotees of the conspiracy theory QAnon, which claims that powerful people and institutions are ensnaring children in sex trafficking rings.

“This type of rhetoric is going to get people killed,” she says.
...
The recent turn to monitoring educators’ social media accounts is no surprise, says Friedman, given the book-ban movement’s origins in online messaging boards and Facebook groups.

“This is a movement that was formed online, so it’s not so much that these activists are moving online so much as they are moving the target from schools to teachers and librarians,” Friedman says. “And it’s not going to stop there.”

Vera has seen the impact of this firsthand. In the week since the pride book event, she says, she has been bombarded with threatening Facebook messages and phone calls. In an effort to protect herself, she now carries Mace and has installed home security cameras.

I’m betting a ton of those “unsafe” stores have recently unionized.

You need to better familiarize yourself with the current crime problems going on in Democrat run big cities.

Why, were all stores closed in San Fran and LA?
