Would you have said that about Scalia not quitting during the Bush administration? 

 

And they stand to lose several in 2020. 

 

Justice Scalia was not in his mid to late 80's.   And Clarence Thomas has communicated his willingness to retire strategically as well.

I see...you only think about potential losses while ignoring the actual GOP gains in the U.S. Senate.

They have a love for the ACA and Roe v Wade. 

Pragmatism has to win the day here. 

 

Roe v. Wade is no longer the law of the land in the USA, and many subsequent laws and rulings have put limits on abortions.

Where were all your "Bernie Bros" back then ?

Not at the access and services level.

Hell, abortions are more readily available in the U.S. than in Canada, despite all the rhetoric.

 

Baby killing isn't as fashionable as it used to be...or is it just me?

:lol:

Just to do an honest assessment of the Senate Map in 2020. 

Dems likely take Arizona, Colorado and Main back from the GOP. 

The GOP likely take Bama back. 

That leave Iowa and Montana that are wide open races for the Democrats to take. Both are attainable. 

 

Reliable Poles...Reliable Hungarians.

So you're optimistic over a single election in 2016? 

This is a better reason to be optimistic. 

Iowa: Losing https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/senate/ia/iowa_senate_ernst_vs_greenfield-7072.html

North Carolina: Losing https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/senate/nc/north_carolina_senate_tillis_vs_cunningham-6908.html

Arizona: Losing Bad https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/senate/nc/north_carolina_senate_tillis_vs_cunningham-6908.html

Colorado: :lol: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/senate/colorado/

And Maine: Losing https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/senate/maine/ Who knows if Collins bailing on this SCOTUS nominee will help her. 

That's 5 seats the Dems were favoured to take from the GOP. So even if the GOP win Alabama back (Against a Football coach :rolleyes:) the Dems should take the Senate. Then they can give DC two Senators. :D

So is contraception because it's part of so many Health Insurance plans. 

The thing about Abortion in Canada is that there is no law legislating it. So it's kind of the wild west. I'm not saying it's good. But there's no political movement to have it banned.

If there is no law in Canada then limiting access is accomplished by other means.   The politics are superficial at best, while Canadian women still seek and get abortion services in the United States, just as they have done for decades.

The sky-high myth of universal health care meets reality on the ground.

Sure there are limitations when you make it Universal. 

BTW nothing to the Limitations when you allow a Private Insurance Company to dictate what people qualify for.

I get it....the perception of universal health insurance and access to services is more important for the politics, especially in Canada.

Nevermind that actual access to services in a timely manner is an entirely different reality.

Why are Canadian women still seeking and getting abortions in the United States ?

Because they can. Money talks. 

Why are women in the US sticking coat hangers inside them because they either don't have the means to travel to the one abortion clinic in their state or can't afford to have the procedure done.

Same reasons Canadian women do in backward provinces and territories.

You've nothing to worry about. There's simply no way Trump could win another term in office. Take the day off...like Joe.
