The Iowa Legislature passed the nation’s most restrictive abortion law

The Iowa legislature has passed a bill that would ban abortions if a fetal heartbeat is detected. The governor is pro-life but has not indicated yet if she would sign it.

From the article: “…the Republicans pressing the Iowa legislation are making a decisive turn away from the smaller, more incremental measures of the past that have, in their view, merely chipped away at abortion rights. They have a new, longer-term goal in their sights: reaching a Supreme Court that could shift in composition with a Republican president in the White House, potentially giving the anti-abortion movement a court more sympathetic to its goal of overturning Roe v. Wade than the current court is.”

Sad!

Trump would not get impeached if he fired Mueller

I don’t subscribe to CQ Now but look at the tweet. It says what I have been saying.  Trump can fire Mueller and won’t get impeached for it.  Blame Republican leadership.   Sad!

Trump followers don’t like the truth

There is no reason for anyone to speak to a reporter this way.  Trump’s “enemy of the people” nonsense has encouraged this disgusting behavior.  Sad!
