denied abortion to girl over W H A T ?
So not smart enough for an abortion but capable of being a parent. Make it make sense. >

-“Addressing her ‘overall intelligence’ … the court found her intelligence to be less than average—
And then denied her an abortion. There’s no making sense of that. It’s just the BS he came up with on the spot to support his political agenda. I wish congress would have ratified women’s rights while they still had the chance before partisan hack judges like this could impose their will >

Most important to note that DeSantis, a leading candidate for the Republican 2024 presidential nomination, decided to reward this asshole. DeSantis is a nightmare who should not be allowed anywhere near the White House. >

Yet because he is a little smarter at showing his true intentions than Trump he is probably gonna end up their front runner or somehow the unholy couple of being trumps running mate or Trump be his. But idk if either of their egos will allow for that >

Still holding out hope they rip the gop apart in their ego fueled shit throwing contest that will be the primaries. >

Doubtful. The republican base falls in line when it's election time. 
After trumps embarassing NFT scam it's looking very likely that DeSantis is the 2024 GOP national candidate >

I'm hoping Trunp loses the nomination and gets butt hurt enough to run as an independent. >

I've heard that theory floated around a lot but Republicans don't need Trump anymore. He's pushing 80 years old, flooded with legal issues, and has trouble finding people still willing to work with him. And fox News doesn't need him either. They are basically the Ron DeSantis network now
Republicans don't need Trump when they have DeSantis, the new and improved model who is younger, more calculated, and most of his tweets are press releases of what he's actually doing. Even if it's dumb it's what he promised his base. 
If Trump ran independent, desantis would bury him by "needling" him about vaccines, which were extremely unpopular with trumps base, yet Trump always brags about operation warp speed. However, I don't think Trump will run independent, it'd be a lot more work than running as a republican, plus fox News no longer has his back the way they once did >

Republicans need something besides DeSantis. He is about as toxic as Trump is. No moderate is going to vote for him and his social agenda is literally disgusting.
People don't understand just how corrupt Florida is and just how much of that DeSantis inherited and expanded upon. >

Floridians know; there's a reason that DeSantis both denied the will of the voters to allow felons to vote, AND gerrymandered our districts HARDER THAN THE GOP DID.
Don't believe all the bots on reddit; Florida is not wholely in love with DeSantis. >

If she got good grades I bet the judge would still say no and say her good grades indicate she would make a great mother >

No no, her good grades would mean that she should have known better. Being a mother is for punishment for having sex >

The precisest bingo of the day >

“Smith also went on to question the teenager’s “emotional development and stability, and ability to accept responsibility”.“
The judge agrees, birth is punishment, screw what happens to the kid or the mother she “needs to learn responsibility”
Stop playing games with peoples lives >

I had the pleasure of voting this asshole out of his last position on the county court only for him to get a promotion to an appellate court. Just great. >

A disturbing amount of politicians failed upward. Granted that list includes the greatest President in US history, but still. >

Serious question even if the answer may not be, but who? >

Ironically I thought he might be talking about Theodore Roosevelt. They tried kneecapping him by making him VP and his president was assassinated. I personally consider him one of the most OP presidents of all time. >

You'd be OP too if you got shot and gave a fucking speech afterward. That man could have fought a bear and won. >

Who says he didn’t? >


Who says he didn’t?

I do. I say that. Teddy Roosevelt did not fight a fucking bear and win. It was two bears. >

Oh oh oh!! I stand corrected. It was the third bear that was rumored. >

He became the 3rd bear. Ever heard of a Teddy Bear? >


“Addressing her ‘overall intelligence’ … the court found her intelligence to be less than average because ‘[w]hile she claimed that her grades were ‘Bs’ during her testimony, her GPA is currently 2.0. Clearly, a ‘B’ average would not equate to a 2.0 GPA,’” he said in his ruling.
Smith also went on to question the teenager’s “emotional development and stability, and ability to accept responsibility”.
“This court has long recognized that the trial court’s findings … may support a determination that the minor did not prove that she was sufficiently mature to decide whether to terminate her pregnancy,” he wrote.

So, she is a 17 year old C student, with questionable stability and emotional development, and the court said she wasn't sufficiently mature enough to make a decision on abortion. However, the judge thinks none of these things are necessary to having a child and raising it. 
FFS get me off this timeline. >

i wonder if she was a B student before the pregnancy and COURT APPEAL? >

A horrible home life can really wreck your gpa no matter how smart or gifted you are. >

Florida sounds like a great place to have a learning disability. >

Florida sounds like they’re going to be swimming in orphans in no time >

All the easier for these Republicans to procure sex and traffic them. >

Matt Gaetz enters the chat >

So he’s a piece of shit? >

Shit is useful for something. >

Fertilizer! They both can be fertilizer 😈 >

I wouldn't eat anything grown with DeSantis >

So much for small government. Now they want to be involved with grades for abortion. >

"You worked very hard this year little Suzie and brought your Math and English up to a B, unfortunately, you still have a D in Spanish so your going to have to have Matt Gaetz's baby and I know you were really excited for middle school too..." >

Judges in FLA are elected.  The voters threw Jared Smith out and elected someone else.  The news here is that DeSantis appointed Smith to the newly established sixth district court of appeal to get around the expressed wishes of the voters.  He's a petty little man >

He's Evil incarnate. >

Ron needs to just leave the country and never ever come back. >

We will never get that lucky. Trump and his pack of brats is still here. >

People keep saying, don't worry when the general public really gets to know him they aren't going to like him. I don't agree at all, I think they love how downright evil he can be. There is a large part of the right that just wants to hurt people. >

As an 80s kid there is so much I thought we would be beyond. The naivete of youth and the audacity of hope. DeSantis is actually a year younger than I am. I've noticed that the late gen xers went in two directions either complete rejection of their parents religion, or complete embracing. No middle ground. 
DeSantis seems like the kind of guy that would wear a Rage Against the Machine shirt, not caring or understanding that he's the fucking problem. >

It’s like when that dummy Paul Ryan said Rage was his favorite band. >

Not unexpected for this breathing sack of shit >

You know what helps you study harder to get better grades? Being a teen mother.
Professors hate this one trick… >

Because if you’re not responsible enough to even get good grades, you’re clearly ready for a kid. >

Let me guess, she got an F in “caring for a bag of flour”. >


Smith also went on to question the teenager’s “emotional development and stability, and ability to accept responsibility”.

She was mature enough to recognize she wasn’t ready for the complexities of motherhood.
