Murphy's Law

Andy Beshear has a good heart, is smart and politically keen. His actions — courageous under the circumstances and for the times — saved thousands of lives during the pandemic. He does his best to protect vulnerable Kentuckians from the cruel and dangerous Republican legislation gaining traction across the states. This also raises, and probably answers, the old political question: “How much compromise is the right amount of compromise, and silence, to secure an office in which you will do, unquestionably, good?” During his first campaign, I complained that “Andy’s position on abortion is that he wants to be elected”. There are echoes of that in his positions on guns.

The Kentucky Supreme Court on Feb. 17 ruled against women‘s choice and in support of the Republican legislature’s war against women, their rights, and their health. It is an interim ruling but happened in the same week a bill was filed to prosecute abortions as murder. It happened days after the attorney general sued to prohibit pharmacies from dispensing abortion pills. The title of this cartoon may be indelicate or overly medical, but, tragically, it fits. — Marc Murphy
