  Evangelicals are just the taliban with pretty clothes.
context: Bailey didn’t specify what legal action he would take if the pharmacies begin selling abortion pills to Missourians by mail.
  
  That's because there isn't a damned thing he can do. It's not like abortion-rights states are going to extradite their pharmacists for something that isn't illegal in their state.
  More people need to learn the history of the Fugitive Slave Act. It was supposed to be in your high school history class. >
  
  Ya, but these corrupt pieces of shit will no doubt find other ways to harass and annoy these companies in order to score political points with their MAGA base. >
  
  This coming from the corporation worshippers. I guess CVS didn’t donate enough to their campaigns.
  Edit: Ha, they literally didn’t. In 2022 they, as an organization (the website also shows donations by individuals affiliated with CVS but not on behalf of them), donated equal amounts to both the R and D campaign committees. However, in terms of individual candidates, they only donated to D candidates.
  So yeah, of course they’ll be harassed by avenue Q over there. >
  
  The GOP is becoming the anti-corporate party with surprising speed. >
  
  I'd like to make the point that this isn't due to more worker-friendly policy, but because corporations favor stability. The fascist revolution the Republicans keep toying with, and refusal to pay already incurred debts, are not great for economic stability. >
  
  This is true. Business in general always favors stability over volatility.
  And yet many people in this forum will falsely insist CEOs have a fiduciary duty to seek short term gains. It's schizophrenic around here sometimes.
  The reality is the lion's share of C-suite occupants in the US (outside fossil fuels) is blue blood Democratic, through and through. Democrats are more reliable and don't crash economies over stupid piques of spite. >
  
  not sure if that's true.  But certainly executives that have international business and broad employee and customer demographic bases are better served by being "woke" than not. >
  
  
  It was co-signed by attorneys general in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.
  
  I can say, in Alaska at least, the voters overwhelmingly told the governor to fuck off trying to ban abortion. He didnt care. >
  
  So sad that Montana and Alaska are there. I used to think of them as closer to libertarian (more of a leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone kind of thing) since that had been my experience, but in recent years it’s become increasingly clear that they’re on board the theocratic fascism train along with the rest of the shitholes. Sucks. >
  
  Our governor is, and yeah he operates that way, but mostly everyone can live autonomously. Abortion is thankfully in our constitution, though he's tried flexing powers through EOs >
  
  I mean, you guys elected the guy who became famous for body-slamming a reporter for no reason. And of course his constant stream of wildly antisocial vitriol. I don’t know if Idaho infected you or what, but it sucks. Lots of Trump Trains and loud, public, batshit crazy conspiracy theorizing up there these days in my experience. >
  
  
  you guys elected the guy who became famous for body-slamming a reporter
  
  What are you referring to here? Dunleavy bodyslammed a reporter when? >
  
  Oh lol, I thought you were talking about Montana. >
  
  Oh, no. Alaska, sorry >
  
  What you said applies to both, funnily enough. >
  
  I've taken this pill several times, none for the purpose of abortion. These extremists should not have any say in health care. >
  
  I don't understand it. It's almost like they are actively trying to increase the pain and suffering of woman who are miscarrying. >
  
  Sometimes I wonder if this is the point, sadly. >
  
  these are people whose conception of heaven includes looking at the torture going on in hell. >
  
  It would be like living next to Auschwitz while having a fun-filled picnic in your back year. 
  "Hey, what's that awful smell?"
  "Don't worry about it, frolic, and grab a beer." >
  
  The nice picnic spots are on the upwind side of the death camp. >
  
  But you can't enjoy the cool breeze unless it smells like the burning flesh of those you despise. >
  
  Can confirm that almost 80 years later, it still smells like death. >
  
  Ah yes, the “small government” camp. Just big enough for the uterus. >
  
  No, it's not "just big enough for"... It's literally that the party of "small government" line is, in itself, something they are lying about. Something every single evil Republican knows is a lie. They lie because that's what fascists do, fascists are liars. It's one of the absurd statements that Republicans tell people because it's party of their propogada plan to take over the country and world and start mass genocide ovens up. 
  This is how Jean-Paul Sartre explained it:
  
  “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
  
  They know they are lying. They don't care that they are lying. It's part of their master plan to take over. Those who believe them are fools who deserved to die. Those who don't believe them are opposition that deserves to die. Note that everyone that is not them deserves to die. And they really and truly plan to murder everyone who is not them.
  It's time to stop waiting for them to start killing people again. It's time to take legal action against them before they complete their conspiracy against the rest of us. >

  It bears repeating.  I grew up in a blood-red suburb in Kansas.  I went to school with their spawn.  This is 100% true and what I've been screaming about for years.
  They will never stop until everyone who isn't them is DEAD. >
  
  And this is why they want a dictatorship government so they can mass genocide Americans without repercussions.  They want to turn America into WW2 Germany. >
  
  20 Attorneys General confirm that they hate women. >
  
  20 Attorneys General had better check themselves before they wreck themselves. >
  
  Mmm let them wreck themselves, it’ll be entertaining at least. Unlike the current shitshow which is just depressing. >
  
  Imagine if we had 2 major parties who both wanted to debate ideas about governing and productive ways to move forward as a country rather than 1 that is so fucking tied up in useless culture wars they are turning us into the joke they constantly rail against. >
  
  Its because their ideas about governing are incredibly unpopular and harmful to society. The only weapon they have that is popular enough to get them elected is the  culture warfare stuff. >
  
  I'm so tired of republican culture war shit. >
  
  They’re not, it’s all they have now >
  
  Exactly. Look at all the bullshit McCarthy is pulling in the house right now. >
  
  It'll be fun when it's time for reelection and they passed zero bills into law because they can't play nice with the other side.
  "Look at all the nothing we did" >
  
  That is the point. Republicans do not want the government (read democracy)to function. If the government does not function, it opens the door for them to argue that we should replace our government with another one. >
  
  Republicans are disgusting.  Talk about abuse of power.  They're not far from the taliban. >
  
  Round these parts, we just call them 'Y'all qaeda'. >
  
  Somehow the birth rate isn't rising the way they hoped. >
  
  It's more the suffering rate that they are concerned with. >
  
  There trying to force their misguided religious view on the whole country. >
  
  Feeling very thankful I don’t live in a one of these fascist red state with this third-world oppression of women and minorities. Right wingers have nothing but distain for their fellow countrymen. That’s why they have lost HUGE in the last three elections. Vote Blue 2024 🇺🇸 >
  
  “Man, we sure are getting shellacked in these elections. We need to lurch even further to the nut-house to win next time!!” Repubs, unironically >
  
  What federal law are this AG's claiming the companies would be breaking? >
  
  These are state AGs, they would be enforcing state laws. Most likely they'll tell pharmacies it's illegal to fill prescriptions for these medications from out of state providers, and pharmacies like money, so they will comply. >
  
  
  A letter from Republican Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to the 
  nation’s largest pharmacy-dispensing companies was co-signed by 19 other
   attorneys general, warning that sale of abortion pills would violate 
  federal law and abortion laws in many states. Missouri is among states that implemented strict abortion prohibitions last summer after the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
  
  I'm curious what federal law he thinks they would be violating since he mentioned it in his letter, according to the article. >
  
  
  18 U.S.C. § 1461
  
  The Comstock Act was struck down by the Supreme Court before almost any of us were born. "Has not been amended in a few decades" is a hilariously misleading way to say that. >
  
  I can’t speak for other states but the Gov of SC sounds like Foghorn Leghorn.  Former SC native, now in NC, which is only marginally better. >
  
  He is Foghorn Leghorn. >
  
  To all 20 AGs, I offer a quote from legendary US Army Staff Sargent Lincoln Osiris, "Suck my unit". >
  
  The medications they are trying to ban pharmacies from being allowed to carry are also used to treat some forms of autoimmune diseases and cancers. Maybe pro life might want to take a hard look at the amount blood that will be on their own hands by helping elect these idiots and continuing to do so. 
  These laws deny women and girls access to proper treatment options out of fear of liability to the pharmacy or the healthcare provider even when it’s in the realm of hypothetical outcomes/risk of future pregnancies. To support these laws IS killing somebodies baby only these babies come in all ages and many with families of their own who are completely dependent on them. >
  
  The forced-birthers know this. In some cases they only even know some of the words (such as 'ectopic') they're adding to their banning bills from learning what a particular condition or treatment is.
  The agony, crushing medical debt, sepsis, funeral costs, and ruined lives are the point of all of this: the taboos and rules conservative leaders create NEVER affect them, only those beneath, and every death or denied right is proof of righteous superiority and freedom to their ideology.
  Ensuring your loved ones die in pain, leaving you with six-digit hospital bills while Cruz can fly to Cancun for a weekend on your dime, is the endgame of all "pro-life" legislation. It is porn to their malefic minds. >
  
  Republicans tell companies to limit people’s freedom. >
  
  Republicans demand restrictions on capitalism and the free market. >
  
  Shame most republican AG's know little of actual law. >
  
  They aren’t voted in by the law. >
  
  Most of these assholes would've aborted in their personal lives. Fucking hypocrites
  Always amazes me how a bunch of dicks get to have a say on women & what they can choose >
  
  Articles like this remind me that it’s worth paying the high taxes to live in New York state. >
  
  It's like the fetal heartbeak shit. It doesn't actually exist, but they'll still try to ban something >
  
  Is it a literal abortion pill used by clinics or are they confusing  it with the morning after again? >
  
  Republicans and the Taliban. What's the difference? How long until Republicans are beheading women in stadiums?
