    Did you know Republicans decided to start caring about abortion in the late 70s because they were looking for a more defensible moral wedge issue than "keep schools white" to mobilize white evangelical voters? I wrote about it here:https://www.gq.com/story/jane-roe-anti-abortion-lies …

        And the emergence of a leader with no moral compass, And Covid with the willingness to sacrifice lives for the economy, makes it obvious that it’s all a ruse to keep power and grow the swamp. Cause they know they can manipulate their base.pic.twitter.com/zrKTn6VMl3

        Thank for writing about it. People need to know it is about control of women not about "life." Controlling women's bodies and manipulating their votes.

        If the @GOP cares is the party of life why do they support @POTUS building a wall, putting #immigrantchildren in cages, opening America too soon, and doing nothing to stop mass shooters? #LockThemAllUp #Resist #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica http://nestorgomezstoryteller.com/immigration-stories.html …

        Awesome. The Bob Jones University case merits a postscript. When the school’s appeal finally reached the Supreme Court in 1982, the Reagan administration announced that it planned to argue in defense of Bob Jones University and its racial policies.
