JD Vance supports surveilling women to punish them for abortions
If Donald Trump and JD Vance are elected in November, they will have the power to roll back a Biden Administration’s privacy rule, giving prosecutors access to the private medical records of women who have left their own state to obtain an abortion.
They can use your medical records to track you down and charge you with a crime for accessing basic healthcare.
JD Vance is one of eight Republican Senators who thought the Biden rule “endangered valid state laws protecting life” and would “limit cooperation with law enforcement.” That’s how real he is about this stuff.
It’s more important than EVER that we defend and expand pro-choice state legislative majorities like our ONE-SEAT margin in the PA House of Representatives.
Local police agencies could take it upon themselves to pull records to see who had unexplained disruptions to their menstrual cycles.
Vance wants to ban abortion nationwide with no exceptions for rape, which he says is “somehow inconvenient,” or incest.
And ladies, he’s gonna need to know about your menstrual cycle and if you have any travel plans…
You know what to do – VOTE BLUE and defend our state legislatures.
Biden’s address: It’s our republic, if we can keep it.
President Joe Biden said Wednesday night, “Whether we keep our republic is now in your hands. Let’s act together to preserve our democracy.”
Tonight, in his address to the nation, President Biden told us that nothing can get in the way of saving our democracy.
In the sacred space of the Oval Office, he invoked past presidents who wrote the immortal words that guide this nation, showed us that presidents are not kings, implored us to reject malice, and inspired us to cast aside fear.
He warned us that the soul of America is at stake, and he reminded us that America is an idea stronger than any army, bigger than any ocean, and more powerful than any dictator or tyrant.
America is the most powerful idea in the history of the world. While we have never fully lived up to that idea, we have never walked away from it either. And we won’t now.
President Biden told us that WE, THE PEOPLE, will choose the course of America’s future, and he recalled the promise and warning of Founding Father Benjamin Franklin when he emerged from Independence Hall in Philadelphia during the Constitutional Convention. When asked whether we have a monarchy or a republic, he replied, “a republic, if you can keep it.”
It is up to us to keep our republic and see that our democracy endures. We are the United States of America and there is nothing we can’t do if we do it together.
With gratitude and love of country.
Turn PA Blue
