there has been growing outrage in response to "Democrat" Dan Lipinski joining Republicans to demand the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade. Now, Even Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is calling for Lipinski to be unseated from his Chicagoland district. )))
Go Lori ....

Except Lipinski is not a Chicago Congressman. He represents Illinois 3rd district which is suburban.. Anyway, it just so happens that DINO Dan is my congressman. He inherited this district from his father Congressman Bill Lipinski.. Dan has not TURNED Republican.. but his bugaboo is abortion. Dan is nothing if not a Holy Roller.... and is staunchly against a woman's right to choose.. We have a good candidate going against him in November.. Marie Newman. I'll be volunteering to help her campaign. She just narrowly lost to him in 2018...but there is a bit of suspicion how the votes were tallied.. Hopefully this year she will defeat him.

No I'm not up on Everything Chicago. Just reading the Daily Kos and I guess they print Fake News too. I'm for anyone who will fight to support Women's Rights To Their Own Bodies...

I just got off the phone with Lipinski's office in DC... wanted to check and be sure.. Dino Dan is NOT switching parties... He is and will remain a Democrat.. However he is a Blue Dog to be sure and is very anti women's rights... But not.. He's staying in the Democratic party...

A traitor is a traitor is a traitor. I can't stand Lipinski either... but in fairness.. most of the time he votes along party lines EXCEPT when it comes to anything concerning reproduction.. He's a fanatic.. He voted against the ACA because of contraception being covered.. SO he's a real nut job.. Last year was the first year he had a serious challenge for his seat in Marie Neuman. She nearly beat him.. She is running again this year and hopefully will win. But a Lipinski has represented this district since 1983. It's a very moderate district which consistently votes Democratic but it is mostly Catholic. Lipinski's anti-abortion stance suits them just fine..

This is about one thing, and one thing only. A woman's right to make a decision concerning her own body.
If men could get pregnant the church would make that choice a sacrament.
This is about women's rights. Nothing else. Even a woman sexually assaulted is told it's God's will. Whose God would that be? Oh. That's right the almighty male God. Grow up people, please.

Dragonlady, perhaps he asked a girl to the prom when he was a youngster and she said no.
Or, he's a sexist jerk.

I looked him up and was underwhelmed by his appearance. I suspect he got a lot of turn downs in school - not because he's not drop dead handsome, but because there's something really weird about his eyes and facial expression. I suspect he may have been an incel in practice if not in name before he met his wife. Personally, I think it's incredibly arrogant for any man to presume to be making those decisions for a woman. And that goes double for any member of any faith presuming to ram their beliefs down the throat of members of another faith or just a plain non believer. Live and let live!

One has to wonder what is behind such a malevolent attitude toward women In Lipinski's case it's staunch Catholicism. He us uber uber uber Catholic... and a lot of his constituents in his district are too.. That's how he keeps being re-elected..

I admit he's not the handsomest fella at the prom... He also is a very sick man.. He is a very brittle diabetic since birth.

To borrow an old quote from the 60's, "If you want me to keep politics out of religion, keep religion out of politics." Something like that. Lol.
Nothing gets regressives more worked up than a woman's right to her own body. If you want to divide people take a woman's right to choose off the shelf, dust it off, and put it out there. Everything else fades away. Including impeachment and killing people, aka war.
If they are truly concerned about the right to life, they'd be opposed to war.
And another thing if he's such a devout Catholic, and not just a sexist, is he as outraged about priests sexually attacking children as he is about a grown woman's rights?
