Of course there is. Because this was never a “states” issue to them. It was their holier than thou issue.

I bet 90% of my Republican friends agree with the Senator on some restrictions, but not at the Federal level.

The ONLY thing we want at the Federal level is to have Roe codified! That means HOLD the House AND add 2 Senate seats. ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT means the GOP WILL make abortion ILLEGAL in EVERY state!

This guy LOOKS like the damn devil.

He wants to take everything from us and give it to Trump. End him!!!

Side note: Is there a reason we say 'excluding rape and incest' as if incest which results in a pregnancy is not also rape? Maybe say 'rape and incestuous rape' or maybe just 'rape' would cover it?

Oh hell no and why is he not in prison for life after his company is fraudulently charged millions to Medicare and got caught, indicted and convicted and with Scott?

It's the woman's choice: period.

So the states can stop all abortions but you believe the Feds still need to place MORE limits. You and Lindsay are on the same page on this. So essentially, under your plan, women could have restricted abortion rights in blue states and no abortions in red states.

If Scott's mouth is open then he's lying

Who gets to define 'reasonable'? The choice should be left to the woman. If she does not believe in abortion, that's her business, but if she does believe in it, and feels it is the correct choice for her situation, the medical community's responsibility is to respect her wishes.

A reasonable limit: abortion decisions should be between a woman and her doctor.

If the argument is to do it at the federal level, why the hell did SCOTUS overturn it and send it back to the states? It's a states right issue they said. Now it's no longer about states rights? Maybe they should let the SC know they were wrong!

Another way to avoid abortions is to make men financially responsible for causing an unwanted pregnancy, and to castrate those that are responsible for rape or incest. Or just leave it to the woman and her doctor, like other medical procedures.

President Joe Biden looks and sounds more lost and disoriented with each public appearance, adding that his staffers seem to be welcoming his deterioration, so they can enact a more extreme agenda under the auspices of his office. ❤️

I'm so bloody sick and tired of old white men spewing their holier-than-thou opinions on abortion!! Maybe I'd be more accepting if there weren't so many single mothers in this country. When males take care of their offspring, we'll talk.

Liar, liar, Scott on fire!

Anyone believe him? Yeah...I don't either.

This is the Midnight oil singer.

reasonable is not a word scott or the gop knows. killing women. denying health care. forcing women to pay for rape kits. imprisoning women. setting bounties on womens. thats barbaric. not reasonable. vote like your life depends on it. it does for women

Basically, that’s what the Roe decision did. So make it law.

But, but Rick I thought that abortion regulation was a State’s right!

LIAR

LIES

Scott wants to federalize abortion, cut Social Security and Medicare, raise taxes on the middle class ..... and voted against disaster relief after Hurricane Ian He’s a typical republican disaster

Define 'reasonable', and too bad he doesn't have the same attitude towards guns.

Protect babies' lives! The womb shd be the safest place for them.

Slimy lizard guys sez whaaaa

What about supporting reasonable taxes on billionaires

He won't say what they are, nor would he vote for them if they were brought forward. Stop perpetuating the myth of the 'Reasonable Republican.' They've all been primaried out by extremists.

' Your just one generation from poor white trash - Look deep into UR self go seek out a lady named Moffitt ' this is probably one the best movies greater than Gone W/ the wind , IMHO - elonmusk Twitter got another account of mine FOR SPEAKING MY MIND DeptofDefense WhiteHouse

Don’t trust him at all!

Creepy old white guys who do nothing but lie, lie, lie. I believe that.

That is one creepy looking dude! Halloween must be running early.

B, b, but states rights.

Creepy

There’s nothing reasonable about Rick Scott and the GOP’s goal of a nationwide abortion ban.

So leaving it up to the state was just a lie told by republicans for a generation? I’m not surprised at all.

Bat Boy says what?

The GOP has become so radical they keep shooting themselves in the foot with messaging like this. The extremism runs so deep they're no longer capable of assessing how the average American views their authoritarian behaviors.

I support removing Rick Scott from the Senate.

Why do we care? They don’t own the world.
