"After 50 years of failure, with nobody even coming close, I was able to kill Roe v.Wade." - Donald the adulterer Trump.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

This woman was forced to endure the torture of a pregnancy that would produce.....grief.

Deborah: 'If people want to really know how I'm doing, I'm not doing okay.'

"Deborah said her grief is complicated by ongoing anger that her decision to terminate her pregnancy early was thwarted by politicians she has never met and who are not experts about obstetrics.

"The mail brings reminders of the Dorberts' new financial burdens, invoices for all the things they wish had never happened: $12,320 so far in medical costs ' not including induction and delivery, $7,000 for Milo's cremation and funeral, and $500 for the keepsakes in memory of their son.

'To me it's just pure torture....The law has created torture.'

To be fair, it really isn't on Trump. It's on the right-wing. The conservative right has been seeking this for 50 years, and now they have it. It's on them.

Ironically, this is likely to become a positive for left-leaning candidates. Since Roe was killed, candidates favoring stricter abortion rules at the state level are losing elections to those who don't. In fact, some of my sources -which apparently are fools and charlatans- are reaming the Dems for political incompetence for not capitalizing on that sentiment. It's poor politics on their part.

The Reps have been chasing this car for 50 years. Now that they've caught it, they have a problem.

IMHO, that's a distinction without a difference.

It's on Fat Don and the 'vangies/white christian nationalists/bigots/racists/corporatists who backed Trump because they knew he was an amoral puppet whose primary concern was becoming a political 'strongman.'

It's no secret that Leonard Leo//Federalist Society named Fat Don's judicial picks while Fat Don played golf and spewed that narcissistic word salad to his adoring MAGAts. It's no coincidence they offered up 91% white nominees, 81% of whom are men, 100% of whom are anti-choice, opposed to women's rights and rights for minority cultural groups, non-christians, etc.

It's on all of them, and you know what.... I get the impression the people in this story (the 'tortured' family) are republican "good christians' who still do not understand the horror show they have set in motion by supporting anti-choice slates.
