What should the penalty for getting an abortion be?

 states can decide what the punishment should be.
 
if someone slaughtered you because your existence was inconvenient for them, what punishment would you think was appropriate?  
 
I’d like to see you answer that.

 you’re the one who can’t answer. then penalty should be whatever you think the penalty should be for slaughtering another innocent person for convenience. You tell me what that is.

 Perhaps your god should deal with it, rather than imposing your religious beliefs on our government.
 
Voter registration is up more than 1,000% in Kansas since Roe v Wade was overturned & up 627% in Missouri. The anti-choice Republicans are now losing popularity in the red states. And we still have more J6 hearings on the way. Yup. Democrats are poised to win the midterms.

 Conservatives and the MAGA cult now have turned on the judiciary and even trial by jury 
 
One GOP  member called his conviction a dog and pony show 
 
Another comment from the usual fascists NEWSMAX contributors
 
 After Trump is back in 2024, he should show absolutely no mercy for the dems and totally annihilate them, legally, or course.
 
That’s what the MAGA horde has always wanted for the USA a hidden in false patriotism yelling American First

		 He made phone calls, but not to the Pentagon or the Department of Homeland Security or anyone who could help put down the riot. Instead, he called Republican senators and lobbied then to object to final certification of the electoral college vote.

 “To be clear, the District of Columbia is not requesting other federal law enforcement personnel and discourages any additional deployment without immediate notification to and consultation with MPD, if such plans are underway," Bowser wrote in her letter, adding that MPD was “well trained and prepared to lead the way” on ensuring safety during the rally in the nation’s capital on Jan. 6.

		 Both WSJ and NY Post had editorials yesterday saying Trump’s bad character—as displayed by his dereliction of duty on Jan 6–is disqualifying. It’s almost enough to make you burst out laughing. I mean, who coulda predicted such behavior from Trump? There were just no clues…

		 It’s not a one man battle  
 
It's true that no previous ex-president has ever been prosecuted. 
 
It's also true that no previous ex-president had attempted a self-coup to remain in power after losing his election.
