QOTD: Susan Collins
by digby
She’s very confused about all this:
“Abortion remains a very contentious issue in the country, and people have heartfelt views on both sides of the issue.
I’m not sure exactly why we’re seeing this happen, but most of the laws are not as extreme as Alabama’s.
Alabama seems to have gone further than any other state.”
I don’t suppose it’s because they got their right-wing majority on the Supreme Court is it Susan? That, unlike you, everyone in the country understood that Brett Kavanaugh was lying to your face about “observing precedent” and would strike down Roe the firstchance he got?
And, by the way, moving the goal posts by saying that not all the laws being passed in the states are quite as bad as Alabama’s isn’t going to work. All the laws they’re passing are an affront to women’s status as free and equal human beings. And Collins can thank herself for all of it. She stood on the floor of the Senate and gave her big important speech for Kavanaugh — and everyone in the nation could see was a green light to outlaw Roe.
