Israel’s Occupation DESTROYED By World’s Highest Court
“Bogus Disclaimer” Added To FL Abortion Measure
Again republicans know that their possition on abortion is not popular and the public wants access to it. But republicans don’t care what the people want, they only want to force everyone to obey the rules they create. So they have to lie and mislead to get their way. Don’t fall for it. Hugs. Scottie
The Washington Post reports:
A Florida panel has approved language that will appear beneath an abortion ballot proposal in November that states the referendum will “negatively impact the state budget,” a move that reproductive rights proponents call “a dirty trick.”
The financial impact language says public funds may be required to pay for abortions, and that possible lawsuits could be costly. The statement concludes that “costs cannot be estimated with precision,” but asserts that if the amendment passes, it could be bad for growth in the state.
Last fall, the panel approved language that said the impact of Amendment 4 was “indeterminate.” Since then, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Florida House Speaker Paul Renner (R) appointed new members to the panel who voted to change the financial statement that will be on the ballot.
Here’s the new wording:
The proposed amendment would result in significantly more abortions and fewer live births per year in Florida. The increase in abortions could be even greater if the amendment invalidates laws requiring parental consent before minors undergo abortions and those ensuring only licensed physicians perform abortions.
There is also uncertainty about whether the amendment will require the state to subsidize abortions with public funds. Litigation to resolve those and other uncertainties will result in additional costs to the state government and state courts that will negatively impact the state budget.
An increase in abortions may negatively affect the growth of state and local revenues over time. Because the fiscal impact of increased abortions on state and local revenues and costs cannot be estimated with precision, the total impact of the proposed amendment is indeterminate.
Let’s talk about your candidates and finding out about them….
Good information to know. Often in Florida where I live you have only republican candidates running or mostly republicans. You need to know which ones are reasonable or which ones are maga. Plus a lot of races are not partisan, meaning no party affiliation. So I need to know who has reasonable positions and who is a maga in sheep’s clothing trying to take over a school board. Beau put the links to the information sites in his description box. Try them. Don’t let a maga person sneak through in your district. Hugs. Scottie
Let’s talk about Presidential lines of succession….
Let’s talk about Ohio removing 160,000 voter registrations….
Republicans know their polices are unpopular. They don’t want to serve the will of the people, they want to rule the people. They want minority rule over the majority. Their goals, not your needs or desires as the public are important to them. They see you are a problem, not as a valued voter. They don’t want to win your vote, they want to keep you from voting. We must defeat the republicans at all costs, yet our politicians are busy tearing down our best chance and arguing about who should run. There is no time for this shit. Get 110% behind the single candidate and beat the fuck out of praising them. Do it. The republicans do that. They don’t let tRump’s court cases or his rambling make no sense speeches stop them. They sing his praises which are all lies. And they win that way. They don’t care what is true. By my dogs that love gravy, the democrats love to sabotage themselves every chance they get. They are nervous nellies at every turn. Hugs. Scottie
Some positive trans posts debunking the hate lies of the anti-trans, I post some of Ethel’s videos. If you are interested in the truth about trans people, trans rights, trans people in sports then please follow her channel.
Hi, welcome to Essence of Thought with me, Ethel Thurston, as your host.
Today’s video explores the Cold War’s impact on the West, namely how the Red Scare laid down the groundwork for the modern anti-trans panic in sports. From the media’s open misogyny to literally cartoonish fearmongering, there’s a lot to unpack.
