Alabama Attorney General Wants Women Who Use Abortion Pills Prosecuted


Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has become the most prominent Republican official to date to suggest “pregnant women could be prosecuted for taking abortion pills.”  Marshall’s office suggested pregnant women could be prosecuted under a separate 2006 state law used to punish women for “drug consumption” during pregnancy.  The rise of abortion pills has been an especially sore point for many antiabortion advocates, who are frustrated by the fact that the overturning of Roe has not succeeded in completely halting all abortions in states where the procedure is banned.  Perhaps even more concerning - is the fact that many hard-core antiabortion advocates are now pressuring state officials nationwide to consider prosecuting women who’ve “already had abortions legally.”

What a terrific idea Attorney General Marshall!  I mean, since the war on drugs has always been such a resounding success, why not open up a brand new front on that war - around abortion pills?  Meanwhile, coming to an American state near you, the Republican Party of Alabama would like to welcome you to its new and improved “Life in Afghanistan-Themed Legislation.”

The thing is, after the recent Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, Republican leaders promised that “women really have nothing to fear.”  Now, not to be critical, but if memory serves me correctly, the Taliban made “that very same promise” when they came back into power.  I guess life is just full of coincidences.

Now, when we talk about banning abortion pills like those sent through the mail, that raises the question, “how would Republicans even enforce that?”  Will these fun-loving folks start monitoring pregnant women’s mailboxes?  Well, why not?  I mean, that’s the way these freedum-loving, anti-big government intrusion, MAGA folks roll.

Anyway, from a purely economic perspective, if abortion is totally banned in the US as Republicans wish, just imagine all of the money a guy like Herschel Walker could save every year.  Meanwhile, Attorney General Marshall is busy claiming Alabama is a “protector of unborn babies.”  No kidding?  Gee, that must be why Alabama has one of the nation’s highest infant mortality and morbidity rates.  They just love their babies to death!

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold:   Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), has become the first Republican congressman to publicly state that, based on the Mueller Report - the President “engaged in impeachable conduct.”  Rep. Amash further added that Attorney General Barr “deliberately misrepresented” the Mueller Report’s findings to congress and to the American public. Oh boy!   One can only imagine the 3 AM tweet storm that’s gonna emanate from Trump’s porcelain throne over this level of betrayal.  I’ll tell you another thing, disloyalty of this magnitude to the Cult of Trump isn’t likely to set well in America’s trailer parks either.   But then again, what else is new?  After all, Republicans have never viewed reality as being in their best interests.  Now, I have no idea how all this is gonna finally go down, but I do know one thing - Justin Amash is definitely not gonna get an invite to Donald Trump's next wedding....

Self-Described Prophet and Pastor Warns Critics They Risk Leprosy

Self-Described Prophet and Pastor Warns Critics They Risk Leprosy:   After numerous prophecies of his failed to materialize, resulting in various accusations of lies and fraud, self-described “prophet” and right-wing pastor Hank Kunneman of “One Voice Ministries” warned fellow Christians that they "better be very careful" about criticizing "prophets" like him, because "It's a dangerous place, and some of you might get leprosy.” Wow, leprosy?  That’s one helluva threat!  Now, while I wasn’t there, my guess is that it all came down something like this - some critic calls out God’s “prophet” Kunneman for his bogus claims, then further challenges him by declaring “You want a piece of me, then come and get it!”  Then God gave that critic leprosy - and that “piece of him” just fell right off. Now, on a personal note, I’ve also been a vocal critic of Kunneman’s ministry for a long time now, and I can happily report that I haven’t come down with “leprosy.”  Alth...

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone:  Speaking at a recent conference, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari denied claims that he had died and been replaced by a Sudanese impostor or a clone, breaking his silence on a rumor that has been circulating on social media for months. Wait a minute, I think I saw that movie - “ Weekend at Muhammadu’s. ”  And, if I remember correctly - wasn’t it was a Sudanese actor who played the lead?  Who do they think they’re kidding anyway?  After all, I wasn’t born yesterday! Now, of course, I’m sitting out here in California - so I have no sure-fire way to confirm or deny all these rumors, but I do know one thing - if you can’t believe Nigerian e-mails and social media posts, what the hell can you believe? https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
