GOP's Ernst: Republicans 'worked hard to overturn Roe v Wade'

[LetMyPeopleVote]

In 2020, Sen. Joni Ernst said voters didn't have to worry about Roe being overturned. Four years later, the Iowan is crediting the GOP for Roe's demise.

It was against this backdrop that Sen. Joni Ernst appeared on Fox Business and was asked for her reaction. The Iowa Republican replied:

“I am a mom; I am a brand-new grandma. and I support life. Senate Republicans, the GOP, and President Trump really worked hard to overturn Roe v Wade. So, we returned that back to the states. That is the law of the land with that Supreme Court decision. So, the states are handling that. But again, we worked very hard to get this result.”

Right off the bat, it’s worth noting that the GOP senator didn’t exactly answer the question about Arizona's abortion ban.

What’s more, Ernst touted all the hard work she and her party did to overturn the Roe precedent, which wasn’t much of a message. For one thing, a majority of Americans wanted — and still want — the protections from Roe left intact. For another, the highly controversial Arizona ruling was the direct result of the work Ernst seemed eager to boast about.

.....The same day, none other than Joni Ernst insisted that the likelihood of Roe being overturned was “very minimal.” The GOP senator added at the time, “I don’t see that happening.”

She conveniently neglected to mention that Senate Republicans, the GOP, and Donald Trump were “really working hard” to overturn Roe v Wade.

If Republican officials and candidates wonder why the party has a real credibility problem when it comes to reproductive rights, they need only consider their own records.

1. Tough fucking shit, breadbags -- you're the minority

We don’t need you to make health care decisions for everyone

2. Ah, let the states decide

Cause we gotta attempt to unfuck trumps latest fuck up. And because women’s bodies are different from state to state and water pollution doesn’t cross state lines and most importantly if stupid people get their way it, whatever IT is will not matter. Thx Joni for another brilliant explanation from a brilliant conservative mind.
