The Arizona GOP is broken. It's time to vote them out.
The whole Republican party is broken. It's not the same party I remember back in the 1970s and 1980s.
@@arnoldhenry no it is… unfortunately, it started with Reagan. Thank Roger Snow for a good portion of it. When Reagan couldn’t do anything, Nancy’s fortune teller and Snow were in charge.
Reagan got rid of the Fairness Doctrine, reduced the 1% tax from 73% to 23%, and started the entire mess that we have today.
They were voted in.
the entirety of the GOP, is broken.
Vote the Republicans out.
The nerve of those republicans, it's none of their business what goes on between you and your doctor.
Really? How about when you want the father's maintenance money? Is it his business then?
@@TarlachOakleaf no. No it's not. Not at all.
@@Essex121514 Right, so it's none of his business, he just has to pay for everything. True?
@@TarlachOakleaf yeah, if he won't wrap it, he's responsible for it.
@@Vixandra Oh? Why? If SHE "won't take precautions is she required to take it to full term? If yes then I won't argue; if no, then why the difference?
Try thinking instead of just shooting your mouth off.
I’m a 65 year old Veteran who supports a Woman’s Right to choose her own healthcare!
Really? So if it's her choice then presumably you accept that the consequences of her decision(s) are her responsibility, right? So if she brings the pregnancy to full term that's down to her too, yes? It follows you're against the father having to pay maintenance. True?
Pay your allamony deadbeat.
@@TarlachOakleaf you seem to think men are buying a melon at the market. The body of the mother is hers and hers alone. The sire of the child can certainly have an opinion and is free to share it with the mother. But ultimately, the decision is hers. Who pays for it is an unrelated matter.
@@MrSoonerCal How can it be unrelated when it's manifestly related? If you make a decision - ie. to become pregnant and take that pregnancy to full term - and it's your decision to make, then in grownupland you take responsibility for that decision.
Saying a thing is unrelated because it suits you too does not make it so.
If you want my money you consult with me. If you make a decision without consultation then it's your responsibility not mine. Welcome to grownupland.
@@TarlachOakleaf It's sad that you still don't understand. You don't put a price tag on bodily autonomy. Without bodily autonomy, you don't have a SINGLE Right. Every single Right you have necessarily RELIES on you having freedom over your own body.
No one is asking for your money, so I have no idea why you're saying that. If you're going to conflate bodily autonomy with someone having to pay for child support, then it's probably best that the rest of us move on from trying to help you understand until you at LEAST get to that point. "Welcome to grownupland" is such a childish thing to say, you refute yourself with that quote.
Vote blue, vote democrats, vote Biden-Harris 2024. Vote out two GOP appointed AZ Supreme Court justices on the ballot this November 2024
Amen!
I guess the Republicans got a little nervous. You’re still gonna pay the price. We will see you at the voting booth November 2024. Vote blue. Reelect President Biden.
Your answer is SHOCKING.
You sound like a True DEMO… Demon that is.
@@1844D I'm not shocked. I agree.
@@1844DNever coming back to the Republican side after what they have done to women.
@@1844D this november ur gonna get such a wake up call. the entire country is sick to death of your ilk
This is not a "divisive topic". The vast majority of Americans want abortion to be legal.
It's still divisive, despite the vast majority. That deluded minority has fundamentalist certainty, is determined, and has political power.
"divisive topic". The vast majority of Americans want abortion to be legal.
the taboo is when does the independent vs mother have more say, cancer's/parasitic-ie-worms or sperm get 0 despite being able to grow thankfully
personally im not for mid/late term killing's, currently hart-beating/brain-activity/human-form is the point of no-returning ( 20~ week's total for early or 9m for regular care/contract, might get shorter as medical advances happen ) and finish-carrying to adoption/state's-care or starting parenting-choices/20-year-contracts agreement , Alabama had some intriguing ideas if you ignore the religious ( judgment was poorly written as it violated religious separation vs governmental ) view, it might make adoptions at egg-stages/ivf and or early-enough 9week's~/baby-womb-transfer's easygoing as then there a process for getting out of the contract but also allowing care and for someone who wants to parenting/carry/contracts etc
yes im for birth control methods like condoms ect, no to eugenics and or mother deciding on race or gendered-ect ( my 1980's/90's mother killed 90% of her XX in womb/late-termination kid's and contemplated for XXy and or forced surgery's to male-roles 👎 ) being used
some of this over-laps elderly care and state-wardened's/incompetent, and kinda gun-carrying/smokers/drinking law's and or free-zones
Americans want abortion to be legal
separate but equally-point/countering-equality okay you don't want the ( for dad's-roles flip it aka ball's-etc ) womb+ovaries/motherhood-experience let others have access to it and or advanced medical care/regrowth organs for those born/sis without and or damage's including trans-females
currently politically usa 🇺🇸 it's being blocked unfortunately
Some birth defects, like the child not having lungs or a brain, so they won't survive after birth, is a valid reason for what you're calling late term abortions... Also, the mother's health may be negatively impacted just carrying the baby that won't survive to term. Not all pregnancies are safe or low risk...
And risking her future fertility shouldn't be mandatory, to birth a baby that won't survive after that birth.
@richardprice5978 the number of abortions done after 20 weeks is like 1%. So it's not really an issue. Those are basically all medical necessity. So you are discussing a non issue
The repuke cowards there finally realized that they could very likely lose their jobs if they didn't repeal this horrific and draconian law. I ask the Arizona voters to retire them anyway! This law should never have been upheld in the first place. They should have repealed it the first Two Times (I think it was twice) that it came up TO be repealed. Vote Democrats into office and you won't have to deal with this garbage.
A father can get their daughter pregnant and the state is forcing them to keep it?
That's next level insanity!
an uncle, a family friend, an ex boyfriend, and ex husband, a rapist. Yes! So insane! Women should not have to pay for the sins of these perverts.
That is why they repealed it.
@@ladyfreedomrocks
They need to do the same in Texas.
And Arizona has the death penalty. How's that for pro-life?
THE IRONY
A life IS a life,and ignoring the fact that a mother's life ALSO matters is irresponsible. Those GOP members who voted to repeal did the right thing. The next right thing would've been to leave the medical decisions to the people involved in the issue.
No woman should have to go to a judge or court to explain her medical needs!
Republicans Know this is a losing issue for them. And will be remembered in November.
Those GOP members who voted to repeal a law from 1864 are correct. There were few women in AZ in 1864. Heck, the population was almost all men, very few as well ..pioneers and 'women of the night'. Women should be protected if their life is at risk. the fetus is nonviable or due to rape and incest at the very least.
AZ was not even a State back then... AND, women weren't permitted to vote.
It's the woman's body always
The legal age to marry off your child was also 11 at the time.
Pursuant to 1864 Territorial Laws Women can't: Own real estate, own a bank account, work a job or VOTE!
That is where the GOP is dragging the country.
That's literally what the Republicans want to drag you all back to, a time when white men controlled everything.
They are telling you this openly with every statement they make.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT, otherwise the USA will look more like Iran in 5 years.
Yes. Now women can vote and hopefully they will vote out all Republicans. Vote BLUE 2024! Don’t let MAGA take all your rights away!!
Uh... Do you know or live in Arizona. Check about when women got the right to vote in the territory. To join the union Arizona women ended up loosing that right. That is what the cattle barrens were hoping would stop us from being a state.
THANK YOU THREE REASONABLE REPUBLICANS FOR HEARING THE PEOPLE!
Good question for the intransigent GOP congressman who said he won't answer questions:
"What do you plan on doing with your spare time after you get unseated this fall for trying to insert your religious views into public policy?"
I wish you were right but there are districts in Arizona that are so red that the congressmen from them won't face consequences. Look at Gosar who's own family has begged voters to get rid of him and yet he remains. Rural Arizona is full of morons and religious fanatics.
…the term “butt hurt“ seemed stupid and not very descriptive… But my view has changed after hearing that Republican “leader“ spout off and obviously cannot handle the job and the responsibilities. Vote those creepy Maga white Christian nationalist out of the Arizona house ASAP.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💙🇺🇸
Exactly. I think all of this can be resolved, even up to the level of SCOTUS when it’s understood that 99.9% of these people are using a religious rationale. We are a civic country, run by civic rule, which at its core is non-theological. Enough already. Do what the majority of women (and men) want, and codify a “new Roe” into national law. It’s either women have equal rights in all 50 states or none at all.
The author of the 1864 law was William Claude Jones.
Jones was a “prevaricator, a poet, a politician and the pursuer of nubile young females,” according to a 1990 article published in the Journal of Arizona History, which appears to be the most comprehensive biographical report published on the life of the 19th-century rogue.
His second wife was 12-years-old. New Mexico’s delegate to Washington, Miguel Otero, was bothered by the union. He “declared that the bride was twelve years old,” Finch writes, “and that Jones had ‘abducted’ her.” Otero petitioned President James Buchanan to fire Jones for the moral failing, but Jones resigned instead.
WOW! This is amazing history on abortion law in AZ! Thank you. Vote this Roevember 💙
I disagree with Jones doing this about as much as I disagree with mothers having the right to take the life of their living child because they couldn’t keep their legs closed.
I believe he “kidnapped” another child Bruce bride. These laws give white powerful men who seem to glorify having young girls And keeping them pregnant
@@CurtisSandoval712A fetus isn't a 'living child' Mr. Misogynistic. And the second part of what you wrote is particularly vile and disgusting. Why don't you say that men should keep it zipped up and stop trying to seduce women or worse rape them hater?
@@CurtisSandoval712 Tell us you hate women without saying it. Also , just because you're going without and incapable of intimacy does't give you the right to force your will upon others.
Now they just have to codify it into thier constitution like many other states.
We are one presidential election away from a nationwide ban. Vote responsibly! Vote blue!
If we started charging the fathers with crimes all of these laws would disappear. This is not about sanctity of unviable lives, it’s about men being in control.
Old white men are not worried about being charged. It is about control.
If any of those people who opposed abortion cared about children, then they would make sure daycare and other services were provided for the poorest of us all. So that families weren't paying as much on their daycare as they do on their rent and then tell hungry children to pull themselves up by their bootstraps! In my opinion, this was never about saving babies, only about the control of young women and their bodies! It sickening and outrageous to tell someone else when they can and can't start a family!
Yes! I have not ever seen them put there money where their mouth is. They need to be doing so much more for the children that are already here and not wanted and they are not! You hit the nail on the head. This is all about control!
All those men making decisions about women, and what they choose. It disturbs me so much.
All those women making men pay child support for kids that are not theirs . Or kids they did not want . Those decisions go both ways .
Welcome to the 1800 s.
I was thinking the exact same thing! Why are men making decisions about women's abortion rights?! If you don't want an abortion......don't fckin have one! Your body......your choice!
But woman can cheat, then choose to keep the baby and the man is financially responsible. Lets bake your cake and feed it to you!!! 😂😂😂
The quick way to turn Arizona blue, vote blue 💙
Abortion
Is
Healthcare
Abortion is murder. Has nothing to do with Healthcare. Being pregnant is not a disease.
I get so enraged watching MEN discussing and voting on this issue. Men should have zero say in this.
That is just bullshit. Men can and should discuss abortion. Most of us men are empathic and pro-choice.
Good this American Taliban is getting wild🚩
It was like the alternative to a complete ban is complete unfettered access (though it should be). The alternative is a 15 week ban, which would still not be as much as Roe had.
These Republicans look absolutely insane thinking that the people want them to block the repeal of this law.
Yes, Roe v. Wade you can think Donald Trump he takes full accountability for that. Will he take full accountability for all of the other criminal acts he has done whole Republicans accountable. . For what they have done and are doing. Also hold Democrats accountable for what they are doing. Thank you Joe Biden, Vice President Harris.🎉
This November lets abort MAGA at the ballot box.
Too little too late. All blue on my ballot.
Blue no matter who at this point, and I hate doing that!
Whoop whoop!! Count me in
Good step, Arizona. To the Republicans with the courage to take the correct stand - well done. Now it's up to the voters to get rid of the rot. Vote blue.
I’m glad the women and girls of Arizona will have the right to choose again.
The sluts and sluts you mean
They left in place a 15 week ban. Don't be fooled.
After the repeal, the next law in AZ is 15 weeks... still not enough for detecting abnormalities or proving assault, etc.
@@summertime69 Make sure to THANK Trump for that... See HIM in November. See him in prison. Vote BLUE!
This whole debacle has been not only a vicious attack on everyone who loves a woman, and on the women we love, but a colossal waste of money and time. Best of luck living calm, productive lives, Arizonans,
Yeah!
Oh, this could impact our campaigns?! Well then....
Cathi Herrod needs to sit down and shut up. She's not the voice of other females. She doesn't get to decide the body autonomy of others.
Will be intersting to see how November turns out in AZ. 🍿👀
Hopefully women will continue to stand up for other women like they did years ago!
We will no longer be considered a Purple state. We will be a BLUE state! The current GOP is so out of touch. It is time to squelch the Maga GOP out of office! The peoples work needs to get done. Everyone is exhausted from the side show.
Arizona Freak show! They just keep digging!
Some Men seemed really angry
Of course! How dare a measly woman destroy the product of my sperm! (Sarcasm )
I love Arizona, we flirt with far-right madness but sanity always prevails in this purple state ☀️🌵
Soon to be very BLUE state come November!
They Weren't Mad, When They Won! ALL THE MAGA REPUBLICANS, STUCK TOGETHER, ON THE ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel sorry for sane Arizonans and not surprised by the childishness of the republican reactions.
Its a great decision and the Republicans need to be voted out of all offices including judges.
Wow, who finally fixed the brain short circuit?
A law that was put on the books when half of Arizona was a confederate territory has no place in the 21st century. Plus, no lawmaker should break the law and practice medicine without a license. I'm sick of politicians getting in between doctors and patients' decision-making.
Excellent reporting here. Thank you!
Mandatory vasectomy for unwed fathers
Good luck with that.🙄
@@donaldcarey114 that too
YES
@@donaldcarey114. 🤡🤡🤡
Not unwed. Deadbeat. Many good parents no longer see the need for marriage.
I love the comment by the Arizona Republican... that they considers all life sacred... LOL.
That's some serious BS. They are 'fighting' for the unborn... but as soon as they are born... then aren't all that important.
Gay and trans children and adults... not really that important to Republicans either.
Immigrants and their families... not important. Non-Republican citizens... not that important.
Non-christian citizens... not that important either.
Pro-abortion are not forcing others to get abortion. So pro-birth people should not impose their belief on others.
THIS 2024, CATCH UP...
WE WILL NOT BE TAKEN BACKWARDS, BY CLOSE MINDED PEOPLE ......VOTE THESE CLOWNS OUT 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Wait, what does Gov. Kari Lake have to say?! 🤣🤣🤣
That she is a man ?
Depends on what day you ask her and who is the person asking!😂
Yeah wtf is she?
That lady flips more than a fish out of water.
She's probably flipped back to wanting the law to stay 😂
Finally 🎉 It's not perfect but a world better than the 1864 law.
These pro forced birthers are completely insane! Vote them out! Save yours and women and girls in your states lives and future fertility!
That aho that doesn't want to explain expelling members from committees FORGETS that HE WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE and we deserve to know.
Such an arrogant arse! Remember to vote Blue when he comes up for re-election
Ruben Gallego for Senate 🇺🇸 💙🩷💙🩷!!!!
The gop wants to go back to 1862
..
Nobody likes a sore winner? LOL! Hysterical!
Let us not forget that whenever Republicans did try to help and work together they were shunned by their party and they were punished by guys like that jerk!
Too little too late. Shouldnt have let it get this far to begin with.
Remember to vote against Kari Fake Lake
Let's all home Arizona's senate comes to their senses, and votes yes on repealing the ban as well!
Wait really? They’re pouting?
The GOP have become too extreme, this is what happens when your votes go unchecked. Religion and politics should never go together, but the GOP have made it that only one religion exists in their own world.
Nah, the damage is done. Republicans are done.
I hold absolutely no hope for our senate
Almost like having international outrage is bad for the state's image.
It's a puzzle. Why do AZ Republicans hate / fear women?
Very impressive . Can they vote to give it all back to the Indians too? That's how to Make America Great Again; Make Apaches Govern Again
Regrettably, Arizona, your response is insufficient and untimely.
Throw the GOP out of office. Vote.
Great job to the Republicans voting to repeal the abortion ban. ❤
So 1864 isn't when "America was great"? Can they settle on a year plz?
THey saw that wave of elections loses looming and knew they had to make a change.... This was strategy NOT altruism.
Amazing how those committee members were punished, yet the Republican leader didn't have the COURAGE to make that statement. "I just did it" What a coward.
Never forget Kari Lake 100% supported the total ban until she realized it was unpopular with Arizona voters.
🔷Vote Blue All Down Ballot🔷
“Common sense regulation of abortion” aren’t they usually on about common sense anything involving the government being garbage?
Poor winners or poor loser? I’m just asking questions.
A little late, they showed their hand. And it's not like Kati Lake can make up her mind about it lmfa
That 1864 law wasn't a law when Arizona was a state.... no laws should be followed that wasn't a law of the USA
Vote blue..
Vote RED.
@@carlosg6554 no
When your politician says, "I HAVE DECIDED IT," then you know you got issues.
It's no longer about rules or due process. It's about "self" and feelings.
Regardless of your political affiliation, this should not be encouraged
That guy uses ten words when he should be using one
I am tired hearing the word “ divisive “. It implies “discussion “. There is no discussion .
Go Arizona Thank you ! 🎉
Great idea, Arizona House. Bravo.
Remember the other law is still restrictive, 15 weeks is not enough time to determine if a fetus is an incest/rape baby, at least when it comes to sentencing.
3 republicans voted yes on this bill, basically passed with all democrats voting yes.
Not sure if this will pass senate.
Of course they did.. dumb law in the first place..
Maybe America needs to take the politics out of Judges appointments
Look. We need to vote in moderates...not the extremists on both sides. You may not get EVERYTHING you want, but SOMETHING gets done..?.and SOMETHING is better than the NOTHING that has been getting done for many decades
Vote the Republican out
Ha ha. They want to protect the mothers. 😂😂😂
What kind of draconian law are they going to come up with in its replace.
When the senate vote for it you have a story.
Government is people working together. Not winning political wars.
Democrats shouldn’t repeal this law. Republicans made it, they get what they voted for. The state is still red. Don’t give them liberalism if they don’t like it right?😂 unless all of a sudden they need it😂
Wow. Just wow. "Here's a person who suffered incredibly under the rules, ans heres the group of people who FEEL that the current law is FINE." Side by side like Her Lived Suffering is equal to a buncha boomers Feeling Uncomfortable.
Disgusting.
I love how it’s all old Christian women and white men who are opposed to abortion 😂
GOP is disgusting. Isn't the goal to move forward not backward. GOP is punishing members-- shame on you.
If you dont believe in abortion care ,dont have one. Tell your dr that under no circumstances will you use that option of care . Problem solved. Then you dont have to try to make medical decisions for other people.
Personal choice! A dr, a woman her faith. no busy bodies in the doctors office!
