Spokeswoman for the state governor who rewrote laws to punish Disney for voicing dissent now inviting the gullible to believe she'd champion other minorities if they were in trouble - rather than *use* and then discard them as convenient to advance a sectarian agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

@AP_Politics EG Georgia abortion foes are demanding a special session of the legislature to pass pro-life bills post-Roe. Not a maternal welfare measure in the lot, but there is a "life begins at fertilization" bill that will likely close all in-vitro clinics in GA. https://t.co/AI70xJvzx9 — PolitiTweet.org

@AP_Politics The real-world political problem those Red State anti-abortion politicians face, however, is that their project of sexual surveillance of lower-class women will inevitably entail a lot of surveillance of middle-class women too. https://t.co/GhTK2jXODw — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

@AP_Politics It would be swell if Republicans did at last start to compete as a post-Roe maternal protection party. But that's exceedingly unlikely to happen. The anti-abortion project in Red States is not maternal protection; the project there is sexual surveillance of lower-class women. — PolitiTweet.org

@AP_Politics From the @AP_Politics story about Republican rhetoric on child welfare post-Roe https://t.co/AvfGWNezwf https://t.co/sypPEaSmsT — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

The underlying story makes in detail exactly the point made by those mocking the @AP_Politics tweet: that GOP rhetoric about post-Roe maternal welfare is hollow. — PolitiTweet.org

I doubt that anyone is ready for the policing of women that Red state Republicans have already enacted - not the women, not the Republicans either. The coming post-Roe shock, latest in @TheAtlantic https://t.co/BuzWkfd4U8 — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder if state Republican legislators and office holders realize yet how much of their time they are about to spend on questions like "Why did you force all our state's in-vitro fertilization clinics to close?" https://t.co/GhTK2jXODw — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

The failure of the Prohibition experiment lead to a national equilibrium over alcohol after 80 years of argument. I suggest something similar may happen as Red states experiment with abortion bans - and encounter for the first time real political costs. https://t.co/GhTK2jXODw — PolitiTweet.org

@TheAtlantic For almost half a century, abortion politics have been a free kick for conservative politicians - a way to prove ideological purity without real-world consequences. That kick is no longer free. Latest in @TheAtlantic https://t.co/GhTK2jXODw — PolitiTweet.org
