Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to put Republicans on record on birth control, contraception with fast-tracked vote

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is planning a vote on the "constitutional right to contraception," in an election-year move aimed at protecting Democrats' control of the Senate.

The majority leader is expected to fast-track a vote next month on the Right to Contraception Act. Though it likely won’t pass with most Republicans opposing the bill, Schumer wants to put senators in the opposing party on record on contraception and birth control access during an election year, The New York Times reported.

The bill’s language says it "sets out statutory protections for an individual's right to access and a health care provider's right to provide contraception and related information."

"This is a clarifying political vote that will put every Republican on record as to whether or not they believe in a constitutional right to contraception," the bill’s lead sponsor, Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., told the New York Times.

Senate Republicans last year blocked Markey's effort to pass a version of the bill without debate, arguing the legislation could also apply to pills that induce abortion, not simply birth control.

Replaying strategy used in 2022 after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Senate Democrats are hammering Republicans on not only abortion, but birth control and contraception access.

Schumer hosted a press conference outside the Capitol on Tuesday with Planned Parenthood doctors dedicated to discussing "how Republican abortion bans are hurting health care providers and worsening access to care for millions of people." He claimed that "far right Republicans have been working systematically to dismantle a woman's fundamental right to choose, and they've been working at it for decades."

"So today we're here to say loud and clear, Democrats stand with women, and with our nation's health care providers," Schumer said. "We will never, ever stop fighting against these Republican attacks. We will never, ever stop fighting to take back these rights from the far-right extremists who want to impose their views on the country that overwhelmingly do not agree with them."

Inflation will "stabilize" means stuff keeps geting more expensive at a less variable rate.

I've never had a 'firearm permit' in my life. I have often carried, often concealed. Never had a permit, one.

Why the hell would anyone obey that?

In some jurisdictions, there is a requirement for a permit to purchase a firearm, not just a requirement to carry one concealed or otherwise. I've had a carry permit for pistol or revolver from 1982 here (issued by the county Sheriff, at first, then transitioned to a permit to carry firearms and/or dangerous weapons at the State Level some years later), which I maintain to keep me in the 'good guys' database, but is wholly unneeded now with Constitutional Carry in ND. When traveling elsewhere, however, that card has a little weight in the case of a traffic stop, showing I am not a person given to criminal behaviour.

There are states which do not recognize reciprocity, and that shouldn't even matter, as the Second Amendment is all the permit anyone should need. Traveling across the country can be a real mess of rules that change with imaginary lines, and what we consider normal and prudent behaviour out west here is pure felony territory in some places. It's nuts if you ask me, but I just walk softly when there, and try not to spend the night.

Well, that will put an end to any future erections I might have had.

Thanks brother.

On Tuesday night, voters in Multnomah County, Oregon fired one-term George Soros-backed incumbent District Attorney Mike Schmidt.

Fox 12 called the race at approximately 9:30 pm local time with Schmidt’s opponent Nathan Vasquez leading 58 percent to 42 percent. In a non-partisan primary, if a candidate garners over 50 percent of the vote, they are declared the winner of the election but don’t take office until January 2025.
 
According to the Oregonian, Vasquez, a longtime prosecutor, began working for the District Attorney’s office fresh out of law school. Over the last 24 years, he worked his way up the chain to become a supervisor.
