Why (I know why) do they always stop at banning abortion and never propose a comprehensive program of sex education and free access to contraception? it's been shown time and again that if you educate people on how reproduction works and give them free contraception then the rates of unwanted pregnancies will go down and the demand for abortion will go down.

And for supposed "Christians" who care so much about the lives of babies they don't give a gently caress if the kid doesn't have food, shelter, medical care, or an education. I literally had an old woman in Tupelo at Elvis' childhood home tell me that if they would just let some of these kids starve then maybe they wouldn't haven so many.

It's such a hosed way of thinking, that they won't do things that are shown to work because "sex should have consequences."

Because it's not about abortion, it's about the State controlling a woman's sexual behavior. All of this is just a way to make sure that a woman's vagina is used for literally nothing else besides making babies and pleasing her husband.

They don't want abortions, condoms, birth control, sex education, depictions of the sex act outside of a white Christian marriage, masterbation (for men or women), pornography, rape victim protections, expansions of statute of limitations for sex crimes, or anything that may even result in a woman having sex outside of a marriage.

It's about controlling women and restricting their ability to make independent life decisions about sex.

So I may have been a little over-optimistic about the Consensus Calendar. You'd think by now I'd have had all the optimism beaten out of me.

According to the new rules in the House, when a bill reaches 290 cosponsors it's eligible to be placed on the Consensus Calendar. Every week the House will select a bill from the Consensus Calendar and puts it to a vote. Great, right?

Hahahaha, no.

So there are two requirements to be eligible for the Consensus Calendar. First, the bill cannot have been reported on in its committee. As far as HR 553 goes that may not be an issue, they've just been sitting on this bill like they say on all the others.

The second is where things get tricky. Once a bill hits 290 cosponsors, a "proper motion" has to be filed and after that the bill must maintain at least 290 cosponsors for 25 cumulative legislative days. Not calendar days or working days. Legislative days. Legislative days are the days that the House is in session and working and poo poo.

The House averages 138 legislative days a year.

25 of those.

Assuming 553 gets a "proper motion" today, there are 22 remaining legislative days scheduled in May and June (a legislative schedule for the House is not yet available past then), meaning the bill won't be eligible for the Consensus Calendar until July at the earliest.

That's plenty of time for some fuckery to happen.

Does the requirement reset over the years or just the congress? Because if it's just the congress at least this is mid-2019 and you have until January 2021 before it gets reset.

I know because I've been to both places in the last 5 years. We'd have to build back up to get ready to invade Iran.

It's for the 116th Congress.

I looked at the legislative schedule and between now and the end of June there are 22 of the needed 25 legislative days (assuming the proper motions are filed quickly). It's possible this can be passed in July.

But no earlier than July.
