Voters kick all the Republican women out
of the South Carolina Senate

Original Article

Posted By: Beardo, 7/1/2024 10:15:58 AM

The only three Republican women in the South Carolina Senate took on their party and stopped a total abortion ban from passing in their state last year. In return, they lost their jobs. Voters removed Sens. Sandy Senn, Penry Gustafson and Katrina Shealy from office during sparsely turned out primaries in June, and by doing so completely vacated the Republican wing of the five-member “Sister Senators,” a female contingent that included two Democrats and was joined in their opposition to the abortion ban. (snip) Instead of a total ban on abortion, South Carolina ended up with a ban once cardiac activity is detected, typically six weeks into a pregnancy.

My Man Dan Bongino said it best: In D.C., most Republicans are Democrats, but no Democrats are Republicans. It applies to elected Republican women, across the board, nationwide, at every level. Not all, but far too many.

The argument that slaughtering another human life is considered a womans right is obscene and should be explained that way by the sane prolife folks. How about pushing the line of self control or a use of the abundant drugs available BEFORE the heart beat. I'm sick of being dragged into the gutter ,back seat or sleazy motel just to affirm some womans " rights" to slaughter a baby any time they want.

The notion that a stranger has the right to tell a woman what she can and can't do with her life is disgusting. And evidently the voters in South Carolina agree.

Is the problem a lack of birthing persons in the SC senate or that non-birthing persons are better at listening to birthing persons because birthing persons make up 55% of the voters?

That's how a representative government works. If the representatives don't do what people want they get FIRED, and a new representative sent in their place. I swear, there is something about a lot of politicians that when they get into office, and start hanging around with other folks, too often they start the old "get along and go along" social crap and forget their original political views. Unfortunately, the more social nature of women seems to make them more susceptible to this sort of social pressure. But, way, way too many Republican pols start out saying the right things and then wind up turning into RINOs after a while in the capitol, whether state or national.

Re#3: It is not "her" life we are talking about; it is the life of the child, a separate entity. The woman made her "choice" when she decided to participate in "sport sex". If I see a woman strangling a child to death, I WILL intervene with any force necessary, up to and including lethal force, to save the life of the innocent child. I will do so even if I am a complete "stranger" to the woman and the child. Just because this trendy form of mass murder occurs behind closed doors with the approval of corrupt, demonic politicians does not make it any less murder.

I'll tell you a little secret. I am middle of the road on abortion. In my mind its mostly dimocrats being aborted so... But I support our party's opposition to abortion. Anyone who claims to be a republican needs to get on board with the majority of the party, or step aside.

Without debating "term limits, weeks/months or heartbeat" or "life of the mother" and "rape or incest, consider this: 40% of US abortions, regardless of term or reason, snuff out the lives of BLACK babies. Sort of disproportionate to the black population which is about 13% of the general population. Why is that? Margaret Sanger is smiling from her grave.

Too many people profess political views and choose parties in order to get elected. Washington doesn't change them, it just brings out the evil that was already there. The voters can usually fix that but Susan Collins and that Murkowski witch in Alaska have been riding that train for too many years. The big flaw in abortion thinking is that you are exercising control over your own body without considering the fate of the child's body. Convenience does not justify murder.

In its effort to blast “woke” military policies, a Washington-based legal watchdog this week sued the Pentagon for documents detailing the hows and whys of the U.S. Military Academy’s decision to delete its famous motto “Duty, Honor, Country” from its mission statement. Judicial Watch told Secrets that the move came after West Point refused to turn over information about the change. As a result, the group filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit earlier this week. “Given the woke virus infecting West Point, deleting the words ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ from its mission statement has sparked justified concern about what the Army’s rising leadership is being taught at the United States Military Academy."
