I know that the state is trying to manufacture standing so it can bring the claim, but this is a deeply cynical and unethical argument that I would be embarrassed to make.
But once it makes it up to Clarence's docket he'll just look at it and accept it.
That means you are capable of shame, though, and could never be a Republican.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, alongside GOP attorneys general in Kansas and Idaho are using the same logic (benefits of amount of representation at the Federal level) the Southern Slave states used to argue for their right to partially count slaves as a population to gain more benefits at the Federal level. This was called the "Three-Fifths Compromise" source
"Slave holding states wanted their entire population to be counted to determine the number of Representatives those states could elect and send to Congress."
Quiet parts out loud.
I wouldn't be surprised if he has said nearly the exact same thing about keeping innocent people incarcerated.
How are we supposed to oppress people if we don't have people to oppress?!?!
If you need unwanted teen pregnancies to offset a population loss, then maybe you have bigger issues.
"Okay okay, fine, you can abort unwanted embryos, but the state should still get to count them as possible population so I can extract power from the nation based upon your existence. Lets compromise on this. How about I get to count 3 of every 5 abortions as population so I get power and you get to keep control of your body. We'll call it the 3/5ths compromise. Everyone wins!" - Missouri AG probably
These goddamn bastards vacuuming up public funds, political power, and then having the gall to say such reductive insults about the people who put them in power in the first place.
Since the fall of Roe v Wade they sure love to shout how "It's a state's rights issue." ...so let's demand the federal government reinstates more stringent rules for dispensing meds on ALL states because apparently teenage pregnancy is actually a good thing now and dis hurts my poor republican fee-fees. Iron clad logic. I might be a little impressed with the level of mental gymnastics these idiots go through if it wasn't so pathetic and harmful.
