Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
All youve done there is repeat that exact same arguments dems have put up for years. The bill has been written for nearly 20 years now, and several times Pelosi herself has refused a vote. In 3 months Obama went from 'I will sign the bill on day one' to 'its not a legislative priority.' They dont care about womens rights, only about the money it makes them by selling fear, and comments like yours helps them sell fear.
I've posted a summary of what the Biden admin has done this term to protect reproductive rights, not just "repeated the same arguments." The senate made an attempt to codify it in 2022 and it failed, blocked by republicans.

You've offered no suggestions on what you think the Biden admin should be doing differently right now.
You're not even reading, just denying everything that has been done to improve things, offering no criticisms for the politicians who actually created this situation, and doing your best to encourage voter apathy. Forgive me if I'm skeptical of your motives.
The boy that's cried Wolf all his life can't be believed.
I don't need to read, because like theyve done in the past, Democrats wait until there is no way to pass what they claims to want. Biden tweeted while running he would protect womens rights, but waits 2 years to bring it to a vote? Barbara Boxer wrote the bill 20 years ago, all they needed to do is bring it to a vote, there was NO reason to delay after he was sworn in. Intentionally waiting until after midterms to vote was self sabotage and they can shrug their shoulders and proclaim we tried if it wasn't for those Republicans
Opinion discarded
Reading a list of hollow platitudes they have no intention of fulfilling is pointless.
You'll notice on their campaign website there is NOTHING regarding policy, proposals, nothing but asking for money. Their entire campaign is 'we are not trump.' Despite him keeping most of Trump's worst policies.
Trump's worst policies are not genocide, surprisingly
