loving after years of "we just need to compromise on basic economic and welfare principles, because that's politics, and you must make sacrifices" and "you need to be happy for the things we can pursue, not angry about what we have given up" y'all's platitudes about slippery slopes and sacrificing women's issues because a candidate is not sufficiently better than the Republican opponent (even though he's extremely better) are transparent as gently caress.

Because their goal is to cause Mello to lose and try to smear Bernie in the process, it's just a bonus when people like you show up and make well intentioned but terrible arguments that pit women's reproductive rights against economic progressivism.

The lesson bad dems should take away from this is that nobody should be made to have their priorities marginalized, and that all groups forming the greater party should be supporting each other and making sure that their politicians are as representative of all interests, both mutual and particular, as much as possible. That instead of fighting a zero sum game of who gets to be represented, it is necessary to build a greater inclusive identity than that of any single self-interested person, because otherwise everybody will be stuck in a loop of making minor gains and losing them to rival groups.

But instead they will forget all about that the second the race is over, and will return to vilifying people for feeling deeply about the future of their livelihoods, because after all they are not really interested in changing things, they are interested in winning rhetorical arguments and building personal brands for themselves.

has mello actually supported any legislation that would restrict access to abortion?

the only concrete policy I've seen someone reference in this thread was that he voted for compromise legislation to get clinics to be required to offer an ultrasound (the patient is not required to accept) in the fear the republicans would try to push something worse without a compromise

He also signed a bill that a physician must be present during an abortion, so I guess it depends on how you interpret that. To me it seems common sensical, but OTOH I've never had to deal with this crap.

It's not. Most abortions are non-surgical and do not require a physician present.

That's essentially a way to make using RU486 harder, which is a drug that essentially induces a miscarriage. It's controversial, but it's pretty good, because it means that early abortions can be a lot more private and a lot cheaper.

that's pretty lovely if it's typically not really required

if the legislation meaningfully restricted access to abortion, then it would only be excusable if Mello was on record saying he did not support the restriction aspects of the bill but only voted for it as compromise to prevent worse or because of some other stuff in the bill.

did requiring physicians to be present have a meaningful impact on restricting access to abortion in the state by reducing availability or increasing cost? is this in any way similar to the poo poo texas and other states are trying to pull with making requirements so onerous that it becomes impractical to operate an economically viable abortion clinic?

Why is it OK for you to tell people their fundamental problems are not important, if you rightfully recognize it's not OK in others?

Is it because you are an irredeemable piece of poo poo?

i didn't want kaine to get picked, and regardless kaine's record on abortion (as senator, not so much as governor) has been consistently perfect. and anyway, at no point in this thread have i said that bernie is bad for endorsing mello (i just questioned why he endorsed mello and not ossoff, which is now a moot point), nor have i said mello should lose or that we should have purity tests of any sort. what i did say is that mello's abortion record is extremely hosed up.

mello supported a 20 week abortion ban, and a statewide ban on insurance that covers abortion. the intent of requiring a physician to be present is to create another restriction that makes abortion harder to access, just like the other votes. in this case, it would be an onerous requirement on women in rural nebraska who might not easily have the means to travel to a clinic.

When they go low we go high isn't an expression of being nice, it's a saying used by sycophants of power, people who are slavishly devoted to decorum and optics associated with powerful institutions, and who would rather ignore the suffering that surrounds them than risk getting out of step with the establishment.

In other words, the people I talked about. Being nice in this situation generally requires being mean to a lot of bad people.
