    Death for abortions and IVF.

    The latter surprises me since it’s generally affluent white people doing it, and this group definitely wants more of those babies.

    Up next, death for miscarriage.

    Coworkers who don’t have daughters mock me when I say I don’t want my adult daughter living here because it’s dangerous. They think I’m overblowing it. They’re taking the standard, “if it didn’t affect me personally, it’s not real or important,” stance.

      One fucked up thing a fertility doctor mentioned to me for embryo disposal seemed to be targeted toward forced birth states wherein the embryo would be transferred to someone who did not have a womb that could carry the embryo to term and would almost certainly miscarry called a compassionate transfer.

      I won’t mock you. I have daughters as well. We live in a solid blue state but out an abundance of caution me and my wife are working on getting them dual citizenship in my wife’s homeland. Still have some more paperwork to go through but it is happening.

      You should always have a backup plan.

    How do they tell the difference between an abortion and a natural miscarriage?

    I’m joking, they don’t care and are willing to kill the woman either way just to be sure.

      Tell them that the Taliban just brought back stoning. And mandatory full-body coverings for women. Then watch them somehow actively justify their views to void out the cognitive dissonance.

      you mean the citizens there that did not want this too right?

      the disenfranchised voters, the voters whose information on the news and elsewhere is corporate owned

      blaming the citizens for the wrongs of the elites who keep the populace suppressed is how we got here to begin with

      what about the fact that many of the adults who did vote in favor of all this were indoctrinated from birth to be this way

      huge multifaceted issue that voting a religious catholic or a pussy grabber in will not solve

    2024

    Party Against Women’s Rights versus Party Against Women’s Rights

    regardless of which camp you are in both parties are on record saying they are against abortion

    even in one of the comments below a person commented that Biden would not say abortion

    in plain speak on both Wikipedia pages for Biden and the Catholic Church and we all know the Republican’s stance on this

    but both parties are not the same clearly

    one candidate is named Donald and the other’s name is Joe

    Roe v. Wade fell during Biden’s presidency and the most he did was an executive order for women’s health research

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/03/18/fact-sheet-president-biden-issues-executive-order-and-announces-new-actions-to-advance-womens-health-research-and-innovation/

    how are you going to advance something that is now not here

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade

    The Catholic Church condemned the ruling by the Supreme Court.[141] Blackmun wrote in his diary, “Abortion flak—3 Cardinals—Vatican—Rochester wires!”[141]

    John Cardinal Krol, the archbishop of Philadelphia who was also the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Terence Cardinal Cooke, the archbishop of New York, both issued statements condemning the ruling.[175] Krol called the ruling “an unspeakable tragedy for this nation” that “sets in motion developments which are terrifying to contemplate.”[175] Cooke called the decision a “horrifying action” and added:[175]

    How many millions of children prior to their birth will never live to see the light of today because of the shocking action of the majority of the United States Supreme Court today?[175]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden#

    Biden is a moderate Democrat[549] who says his positions are deeply influenced by Catholic social teaching.

    how do the Republicans differ on abortion again?

          The president is not a dictator. It doesn’t work like that.

          Also, do you really think presidents should just be able to change the size of SCOTUS whenever they want to? What if Trump gets in and decides to shrink it to only the conservatives?

                  I know enough about our legislature to know that they would not approve 100 SCOTUS justices. I’m not sure why you think they would allow any president to do that unless they were a rubber stamp legislature, which they are not.
