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!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Pete Buttigieg Emasculating Driving With Electric Cars

During a segment on Neil Cavuto’s Fox News program, US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was told by the host that Marjorie Taylor Greene is claiming "Mr. Buttigieg is trying to emasculate the way we drive" by supporting electric vehicles.  In response, Buttigieg told Cavuto that “my sense of manhood is not connected to whether my vehicle is fueled by gasoline, or whether it's fueled by electricity.”  When asked by Cavuto if he was offended by what Greene said, Buttigieg remarked "To be honest, there are other members of Congress that I pay more attention to when I'm thinking about opinions that really matter.” Oh, come on now!  Let’s get real.  It would take a helluva lot more than an electric car to “emasculate” Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Besides, I’m pretty sure “real men” actually ride horses, anyway.  Of course, I’m certainly no psychiatrist, but it sounds like Greene’s anger could be a combination of both “road rage” and “roid rage,” leaving her...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...
