I suspect Oz's statement that abortion decisions should be between a woman, her doctor, and local officials, helped bury him. Also that faux pas about the non-existent Steelers game!

Oz's other faux pas:

  • PA has an Atlantic coast line
  • Crudités
  • Not knowing the name of the PA city he supposedly lives in


I'm sure the Oprah endorsement of Fetterman didn't help.

Judge Blocks Indiana abortion ban

Indiana Superior Court Judge Heather Welch issued a preliminary injunction against the Republican-backed law, which prohibits abortions with limited exceptions for rape, incest, lethal fetal abnormalities or a serious health risk to the mother. The plaintiffs have argued that the measure infringes on religious freedom protected by another state law.

I wrote the following here at Reader Rant on September 14, 2022:

Quote
One of the problems with the GOP's abortion stance, is that the GOP takes a Christian point of view to the topic and ignores other religion's philosophy of abortion. For example, in Judaism, life starts when the born infant takes breath after the umbilical cord is cut.

In the conservative Christian POV, life starts when the ovum and sperm unite - which is a pretty radical idea of when life beings as fertilized egg is not viable on its own.
Christians who insist on having their "religious freedoms" conveniently ignore the fact that other religions then too get to have their own religious freedoms. How arrogant of the American Evangelical Right to think otherwise and force their religion onto everyone else. mad

Imagine we're talking about Dred Scott right now INSTEAD of Roe and people are on Fox News telling each other that black people and their friends in the other racial communities that America will normalize Dred seven months from now. Do you really think people would forget?
That's what Republican "strategists" are saying right now, the American people will "forget all about the attack on Roe" by November and that Republicans will sail on to easy victory in the White House, House and Senate.

Trump is two-faced. He says abortion should be left up to the states, then condemns the AZ Supreme Court for being too pro-life.

AZ made a choice, and dishonest Donnie doesn't like it. Too bad. Trump and his political expediency is beyond the pale.

Women are not about to forget that they could possibly go to jail for exercising control over their own body, depending on their state.
