In his remarks, not only does Johnson claim Roe “gave constitutional cover to the elective killing of unborn children,” but he rails against the imagined economic detriments of abortion, pushing his caucus’ outlandish claim that by depleting a hypothetical workforce, abortion has defunded social security: “Think about the implications of that on the economy. We’re all struggling here to cover the bases of social security and Medicare and Medicaid and all the rest,” Johnson says. “If we had all those able-bodied workers in the economy we wouldn’t be going upside down and toppling over like this… Roe was a terrible corruption.” Mind you, social security and health care have been gutted in the last several years by Republican lawmakers, not people who choose to end a pregnancy.
That thumbnail…
“Give em that old Razzle Dazzle,” minus of any of it.
What a pathetic hairball the GOP was forced to cough up at the last minute.
Daily reminder to please vote responsibly in 2024.
Yes, but what if, bear with me here:
What if, in between now and the election, something comes out about the Democrats that shows that they’re not absolutely perfect angels?
For example, what if one of them used a private e-mail server?
And for the sake of “balance” the media spends the same amount of time on this as the 10,000 felonies of Donald Trump.
Doesn’t that mean they’re both the same, and I don’t have to think or vote or bother, and therefore it doesn’t matter if the totalitarian fascists get into government, “suspend” the constitution, and topple representative government?
