Typical GOP hypocrisy: they want states' rights for their states to support and advance bigotry, voter suppression and other heinous bullshit, but not for other states to respect a woman's bodily autonomy 🤦

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!

States Rights had always been a smoke screen.
Even during the Civil War Southern States were trying to implement laws that gave them power over other states to give slaves.
States Rights had always been right wing propaganda designed to hide their true motive. Same a "protect the children." Same as a racist hiding behind "free speech."
This is sickening and extremely scary. The GOP at this point are authoritarian, not to say fascist. They hide behind states rights as an argument to defend states they control, but the moment they gain the levers of power you can bet they will do everything to crush the states run by democrats.

And every single one of them would either retract their signature the moment someone out of state used their medical history against them, in the same way they want to use it against others, or double down on how only they should be able to use it themselves.
Why these people care SO MUCH about this?
It's illogical at this point.
Because Religion (as much these people proclaim how much they have love for everyone) is more about hating out groups and judging other people as less than worthy.
Not hate so pure as Christian “love”.
