“Keep abortion safe & legal”

Now is the time.

Last night:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
This leak is outrageous & dangerous.

I pray & remain hopeful #SCOTUS stays true to this potential decision, but this unprecedented, intentional leak is malicious & threatens the independence of our highest court.

Our judicial system should never be intimidated by the woke Left.

We see you.

Pre 1973 2022 medical equipment.

Some of the responses:

Overturning Roe is outrageous and dangerous. Whose rights are they going after next?

I don’t see how the leak changes anything.

Why would you be mad the public has access to decisions that will change their lives? Perhaps you know this isn’t what the majority of Americans want?

You could have also said nothing, and discreetly and professionally handled this as part of your job.

See above.

It’s especially awful when a woman hates other women and wants the government to have control over their bodies and medical decisions.

Also, if you’re so proud of taking away my right to autonomy, why do you care about the leak? Like who gives a shit? You got what you wanted right?

Hawley’s folks are doing a good job of writing horrible tweets for you, Vicky. You’re a worthless puppet.

Imagine being more upset at a leaked memo than the fact that poor women in America are going to resort to unsafe and dangerous back alley abortions since people like Vicky sure as hell aren’t going to lift a finger to fund social services for at risk communities.

That’s the plan.

There’s nothing in the Constitution that says a draft can’t be leaked. (PS social media intern, they’re coming for your birth control next, and you work for a grifter)

We see what you did there.

Kick rocks

And Congress should never be intimidated by a rapid mob incited by your narcissistic boss.

But you’re cool with that.

The court has been tinged by partisanship for decades, you despicably duplicitous, disingenuous dipshit.

How the FUCK do you put this on the left. Woman, you get this, right? This is a direct assault on you!!! WE women are now less than! How the FUCK do you stand in your political lane as a woman? Pathetic!

Women in medical crisis will die.
Abortion is healthcare.

Pre 1973 2022 medical instruments.

Breaking news this evening – an extensive U.S. Supreme Court draft majority opinion by Samuel Alito has been leaked indicating the court will reverse Roe v Wade (1973).

SCOTUSblog @SCOTUSblog
The document leaked to Politico is almost certainly an authentic draft opinion by J. Alito that reflects what he believes at least 5 members of the Court have voted to support — overruling Roe. But as Alito’s draft, it does not reflect the comments or reactions of other Justices.
7:56 PM · May 2, 2022

We all know who is responsible:

Pre 1973 2022 medical equipment.

One pointed response:

Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance
Thanks, Susan Collins

Last week:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Biden’s Ministry of Truth pick spread disinformation about Hunter Biden’s laptop during the 2020 election.
[….]
9:40 AM · Apr 29, 2022

As usual there was much hilarity in the responses:

Would you share with us the most damning piece of information in the laptop?
In the meantime, do you have any concern about Kushner getting $2 billion from the Saudis?

Please explain why you seem fixed on Hunter Biden’s laptop (and I have no idea what terrible things is reveals), but don’t seem at all concerned about Jared Kushner getting $2 from the Saudis.

In the 10 years Vicky has been in Congress precisely 3 bills that she introduced became law. 1 was renaming a post office and the other 2 deal with FEMA paperwork policies. During that time she cashed over $1.74 million in taxpayer money as pay for all her hard work #WelfareQueen

Trump’s son in law is actually the one doing shadey dealings…but go off sis…
[….]

The left and mane stream media should be magicians because that’s their mantra, don’t look at what’s really happening look at what they want you to see.

Do you mean mainstream media or are you referring to some media run by horses. Just asking

Heh.

Just curious Vicky, do you have anything of importance to convey? Do you have any original ideas or goals? How would you improve the lives of the people who pay your salary (MO taxpayers).We have been paying you for years while you TOOK ‘farm welfare$’! #SayNo2Hartzler #VoteBlue

u wouldnt know the truth if it hit you in the head.

Really? This is where you’re going with it? Hunter Biden is a Russian asset? Is this *really* the spotlight you want to pull out, right now?

Rep Hartzler spread disinformation everytime she tweets.

reassuring to see a pol who claims to follow the model of Jesus spend her time fomenting non-issues among voters she considers her base. Is she cynical? Hypocritical about fidelity to Jesus? Why doesn’t she sponsor legislation to help the poor, the downtrodden, the meek? Phony?

She’s too busy scooping up all the tax-payer money she can get her hands on; salary, benefits, subsidies, PPP, etc. Who are the real welfare queens?

You have been reduced to posting tweets from 2020. Pathetic doesn’t even describe you anymore
