Precisely correct.
Democratic voters donât have the same predilection for telling norms to fuck off as the skinny tiny sliver of accelerationists and acceleration-curious posters here that are really angry Biden wonât just break the law.
Havenât since Roe was overturned. Thought it was obvious in context, but should have specified for the slappies among us. Instead they went on vacation. Abortion rights really arenât a high priority for Democrats.

Post Dobbs-leak, too.
Vote was after the leak though, so Iâm not sure another vote would do anything.
This is very clear. They arenât a high priority for voters either.
Yeah we better not protect the right to choose or maybe weâllâŚlose control of the government? Same argument Iâve heard on here about not protecting trans rights.
Cause playing it safe is working out so well.
smdh!
People still fearful of GOP voters turning out more harder w extra maga intensity because of âsomething somethingâ that some right-wingers might not like.
Donât worry, theyâre turning out already with 100%% full force! Always! You ainât getting a negative change by pissing off rwnjs with policy. Theyâre already voting 100% w no change.
But you might inspire your side by actually showing some balls.
Vote on it every day during what should have been recess. Hold hearings and debate on Federal solutions. Take AOCs advice and lay out specific positions for each Senator so the party can say âhey see we have X votes for Y and need to win Z elections this fall to achieve Xâ. But nah, they went on vacation. Gutless and useless fucking shills.

Who said we shouldnât?
The message from Dems is clearly we are going to win suburban swing voters, progressives are not needed this fall. I am choosing to hear their message.

To be clear, Iâm talking about the pros and cons of doing this weird angleshoot as compared to actually going all out to pass legislation that expressly legalizes abortion, which is clearly the better play. Iâm not advocating doing nothing.

Why not bothâŚ
You sir, have clearly never worked for a government agency with union rules.
The workers would all be planned parenthood. Theyâre just being allowed the use of the space.
Nah, assuming the abortion providers all became federal employees, the state wouldnât have jurisdiction to prosecute. I mean, lol law and the Supreme Court so i guess I cant say anything like that super confidently anymore.
Yeah, the White House also indicated that prosecution was likely even though there appears to be a jurisdictional bar 
And who is responsible for securing that space? Are they union employees? What about the maintenance? Also union employees. Maybe that space is supposed to use union secretaries for any office work. Maybe that space is supposed to use union nurses for any medical work.

Well, let me know when youâve learned the answers to these things. Like I said, I spent about 10s cooking this up. Someone more knowledgeable could figure out the details, I think.
As far as security (I assume you mean against protestors and other crazies), Iâm sure the commander and chief can order up some for the times when itâs needed.
The issue is that union contracts mean that you generally canât use non union labor in places where there traditionally would be union labor. Itâs not as simple as just âusing the space.â
I agree that could be a problem. Sounds like neither of us knows which VA employees are union and what the union contract stipulates.
Iâm pretty sure (but not 100% sure) that VA docs arenât union and they work there. So at least having a non-union doc âworkâ at a VA hospital is possible. A doc on their own could probably provide some smaller number of abortions.
