Open Thread | Abortion Update

As I have written before, Jessica Valenti is my go-to person whenever I want to know how bad it is out there for women in America, in terms of abortion. I follow her on TikTok and on Twitter.

These Anti-Abortion Lies Defined 2024
An end-of-year reality check
Jessica Valenti
Dec 30

“Gaslighting” may feel like an overused term, but there’s no better word to describe how Republicans handled abortion rights this year. Unwilling to admit that they’re passing wildly unpopular laws, Republicans spent 2024 insisting loudly and often that the horror unfolding in front of our eyes wasn’t really happening: That their bans were perfectly safe, that our lives hadn’t been fundamentally changed for the worse, and that they would never, ever hurt women—even as they openly fought for the right to deny us life-saving care.

Even as women died.

True to form, Republicans declared that the real problem wasn’t the suffering their policies inflicted—but the people pointing it out. If they can’t hide post-Roe horrors, they figure shirking blame and sowing confusion might do the trick.

Cutting through this manipulation doesn’t have to be difficult. Because for as much time, energy and money as the GOP has put into hiding what abortion bans have done to this country, even a brief look at the past year lays the truth bare.

Republicans’ claim that they gave abortion ‘back to the states’, for example—a deception that won them the presidency—came alongside unprecedented attempts to silence voters on the issue.

In Florida, GOP leaders launched an assault on the state’s pro-choice ballot measure using millions in taxpayer dollars—from a massive disinformation campaign and bogus ‘voter fraud’ investigation to threats of criminal charges against TV stations running Amendment 4 ads. The measure lost with 57% of the vote. Does any of that seem like the “will of the people” to you?

In state after state, Republicans revealed just how far they’d go to quash our voices: South Dakota voters who signed a petition to put abortion on the ballot got phone calls from anti-choice activists posing as officials from the Secretary of State’s office, pressuring them to remove their names. In Missouri, voters were targeted with texts claiming the signature-gatherers for an abortion rights amendment were actually trying to steal their identities. Nebraska conservatives didn’t bother with all that, instead collecting signatures for an amendment they told voters would protect abortion rights. In reality, it would—and did—codify the state’s 12-week ban.

If they’re so sure that America is a ‘pro-life’ nation, why did the GOP work so hard to ensure voters didn’t have a true say?

I followed Ms. Valenti closely throughout the year, as she brought up many things in the States that were done.
I do blame the MSM.
Because, of their non-reporting on this story. On their professional malpractice. On their determination not to connect the dots.
Only when forced to, did they report on Abortion, because they can’t BOTH SIDES IT. So, if they can’t BOTH SIDES IT, they just refuse to report on it, until they have to , and then they try to make the news cycle about it as short as possible. With no follow up. No broad context. No connecting of the dots for our MSM around this issue.

    In the New Orleans terrorist attack we can criticize the Mayor, Police Superintendent, NOPD, LSP, DPW, and the City Council for the plan to replace the bollards. The critique is expected and warranted. Hold them all accountable. But like Katrina, the State, Homeland Security and others allowed the contingency plan of parked patrol cars at the entry to Bourbon and other streets and said nothing. They were in the room. It was a massive failure of security that involved everyone because everyone was a part of the planning. Any leader unwilling to admit their complicity is a coward. The only others worse are the self aggrandizing, self promoting political opportunists grandstanding like Senator Kennedy and Lt. Gov. Nungusser. It make me sick how far we done fell. Cheers to the 3 hero cops. Saviors of many lives.

    I hope white liberals understand if POC & especially the Black people among them refuse to invest unless the white person’s liberalism is confirmed.

    We hate surprises and long games.

    Seeing her on my timeline is like a gut-punch… America is not a serious place even while She is performing serious duties

    I don’t disagree.
    The entire plan for charging TOLLS to get into Manhattan…is insane to me.
    THIS is the kind of thing that will get under a voter’s skin, and everytime they have to pay it, the resentment will grow and grow, and if they don’t vote DEM in the next election….don’t be shocked.

    New York needs new candidates– Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul are bringing the party down and could take New York with them.

    Let’s be honest about where we’re at and what we should be doing as Democrats going forward. https://t.co/19aX82jx1J

    I’m now convinced that a large percentage of the non-Black people initially attracted to Bɛŕníɛ’$ campaign in 2015-16 were anti-Black racists.
