Great work! To strengthen the tuenup.us argument, you may want to add that EVERYONE in Red states is losing medical care from Doctors leaving due to anti-choice laws.
I'm sorry I can't remember the source, but research shows that some states have lost Double Digits of OB/GYNs, Prenatal Docs,

Great work! To strengthen the TuenUp.us argument, you may want to add that EVERYONE in Red states is losing medical care from Doctors leaving due to anti-choice laws.

And their medical school enrollments are Dropping fast.
So the "Conservatives" that vote in Republicans are condemning Themselves to a dangerous lack of care.
Thanks for reminding us of this. Why, would someone spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and a dozen years of their lives to become an OB/GYN with the threat of a large fine or jail time hanging over your head if you need to perform a life saving event abortion.
I've read that Idaho has lost over half of the OB/GYNs in the state that specialize in high risk pregnancies. Many doctors are married to other doctors which exacerbates the problem when there is a brain drain.
I agree Patrice, the GOP is blind to many unintended consequences.
They don’t care…
You're right. When you're chosen leader has narcissistic personality disorder and most of the Party of Trump is unable to feel empathy or love -- yeah this is what you get.
But what are the Democratic operatives in the field doing about all that???? Voters need this information and I fear that they aren't getting it.
Convicted felon Donald Trump did hundreds of things to make America suck again. And we hear NOTHING about locking up children in cages after separating them from their parents, or how badly he fucked up the Covid-19 response, or how his 4th year in office was a total and complete economic disaster, or how he is the ONLY President to have fewer people working when he left office than when he started. Or how he listened to the advise of the 3 clowns on Fox and Friends to run his government. Or how he tweeted hate and anger every fucking day.
People are NOT numb to these things. They just need to be reminded about how little CFDT did for 4 years and NOTHING he did ever made America great.
You and the rest of us will remind the voting public, won't we?
Apparently many Democratic donors are corporate Dems that don’t like Biden’s growing of the middle class policies of strengthening the IRS and DOJ to go after white collar crimes instead of marijuana possession. They seemed to have believed he was all talk and that he wouldn’t really do it. Now that he has done it they are stabbing him in the back and have joined the criminal Party of fascism to attack Joe Biden
Dems are too busy shooting at each other.
The son of a friend of mine is a high risk OB-GYN in Florida, as is his wife. I believe they went there over 8 years ago for a fellowship opportunity, not necessarily by choice. This doctor was raised Catholic, but I imagine if he decided to treat high risk pregnancies, he would be aware that an abortion may be the correct treatment for a patient. What a conundrum both he and his wife must face in their practice. I haven’t asked his mother for fear of where the conversation may go (she’s a conservative in Orange County, CA) and we don’t speak to each other very often anymore anyway, and not because of politics. Though his career may suffer because of the draconian Florida laws, many women will suffer even more from inadequate medical care all because of pious, self-righteous, narrow minded elected officials with no medical backgrounds.
Chump will fix that, as only he can. Sorry, it’s Texas stupidity. You would think that logic and reason would resonate, but the miasma is so thick. I have pushed this with my granddaughters and they get it, but are reluctant to pass it on. Both will be affected in ways that they can’t imagine…if the cretin cheats his way back
The poor things ... how old are they? Old enough to be concerned about reproductive - well, women's - rights? If they are, perhaps they can see their way to talking to their friends.
16 and 21, they look like a deer caught in the headlights if I mention him/them in public. I thought about moving to Canada in Nov 2016, couldn’t believe we could be so stupid as to try to do the unthinkable twice.
Oh, dear .....
That's almost the story of the entire Maga electorate, they are voting against their own best interests, across the spectrum. Curiously, that includes the border, since the vast majority of immigrants, however, are seeking jobs most Americans, given nearly full employment, do NOT want. It's a net economic win. Wiki sums it nicely, check the Economic Benefit tab. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Economic_impact_of_illegal_immigrants_in_the_United_States
Also, during the "campaign" speech, trump again said that illegal immigrants are taking "black and brown jobs," and not only is that not true, but it's very racist. Was he called out on that one, or did it just get lost in the sea of lies?
He was called out. But otherwise, yes, this will get lost in a sea of lies, unless enough voters felt stung by this comparison to swing them over to the Dems

TurnUp.US is fabulously successful also at using directed social media from its paid “influencers” to persuade younger voters to vote! I have been working closely with them for three years and they are very effective; no doubt whatsoever that more than 90% of registered 18 to 29s will be voting this year— they have so much at stake personally with respect to abortion and IVF; gun safety from assault weapons; and of course their own personal future life on a planet that is overheating rapidly! Please support www.TurnUp.US ;thank you!
Really serious that the good for nothing media don’t cover!
