This is the #DisintegrationChecklist. #TheChecklist of what we can expect to lose in the next four years. That makes it a tool for gauging the progress of loss. 43 items. A grim countdown score in the form of a simple number: how many are still left? That is the #DisintegrationScore. 43... for now.

Keeping track of this #DisintegrationChecklist, & the
#DisintegrationScore, is not a silly thing. I am not trying to #gamify the #apocalypse. It is a concrete measure, and if it is widely shared, it will make apparent even to the distracted the accelerating loss. A tool for those capable of caring.

Big Surprise: Republicans on the Record Blocking IVF bill

Republicans on Tuesday blocked a bill that would have created a right to access #InVitroFertilization (#IVF) treatments and mandated that insurance plans cover the practice, deriding the vote as a political ploy.

Senators voted against advancing the bill, 51-44, marking the second time #Democrats have sought to put #Republicans on the record on the contentious issue. Sixty votes were needed to open debate on the measure.

Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa #Murkowski (R-Alaska) voted with every #Democrat and independent.

How weird are these people‽ Also, what is wrong with dog parks‽

I already was surprised they were against #InVitroFertilization (most pro-life folks favor #IVF), but dog parks too‽

I guess hating on childless cat ladies was not enough!

GOP Sens Scramble To Find Reason To Oppose #IVF Bill, Warning Of An ‘Anti-Religious Agenda’

#Senate #Democrats are continuing their efforts to put their colleagues across the aisle on record for their unwillingness to support #ReproductiveRights in the wake of the #SupremeCourt’s #Dobbs ruling, which opened the door to a flood of state-level #Abortion bans.

Last week, #Democrats brought forward a bill to protect access to #Contraception. This week it will be a bill to protect access to #InVitroFertilization.”

REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS

New Hampshire Rep. Annie Kuster has introduced new legislation aimed at protecting the rights of people to access private reproductive health care. The future of in-vitro fertilization has been into question after a recent ruling in Alabama said embryos created through the process should be considered children. Kuster’s new act, the Access to Family Building Act, would ensure people’s right to assisted reproductive technologies, including IVF. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, D-New Hampshire, are co-sponsors of the legislation in the Senate, and Rep. Chris Pappas, D-New Hampshire, is a co-sponsor in the House.

:::

Schadenfreude: #Alabama's decision to elevate embryos to the status of children has turned into a messy spectacle.

#Republicans believed they were championing the pro-life cause, only to find themselves in a political quandary.

We now have a party traditionally hailed for its staunch pro-life stance inadvertently hamstringing with the 'biblical' interpretaion they hold dear.

As they scramble to spin this narrative, they're alienating pretty much everyone.

What unfolds is a cautionary tale of political hubris, a reminder that dealing with #ChristianNationalism is no picnic!
