31. The Christian Nationalists have been going for a national abortion ban

for quite a while. I see these people around me here in Texas. And if things keep going the way they have been, with dems caving, they will get it.

I'm going to have to take a break from this website again, because I cannot deal with the folks excusing the cave. We had Trump right where we needed him after clobbering him in off-year elections, and they proceeded to throw away that political capital by caving.
