I had to break this video into two parts see it uncut here: https://twitter.com/thetnholler/status/1503815243004358668?s=21
The family of rapists can sue if the fetus is aborted!? Medical records of any miscarriage can be subpoenaed if anyone decides to sue a woman who is suspected of having an abortion!? What in the actual fuck???
Thewayofthebear
I have to bring this out way too often. It makes me sad.

Fuck that. If you hate abortion so much just don’t have one.

It's a goddamn moronic theocracy in unopposed overdrive.

"But you gotta understand, rapists are men. We have to protect the only people in this equation." -Republicans scumbags.

Well if they're following biblical directives, then yes the man is the only person involved; women and children are property in the Bible.

I'd unmute this, but I'm pretty sure I'd lose the will to live

If you ever completely do lose the will to live, consider removing a few of these politicians, I bet it will be just what you need.

My will to live is too recent and frail to subject myself to their garbage rethoric. I'll pass too.
tr26
And SCOTUS has refused to rule on these bullshit bounty laws. I fear that the CA gun one will be ruled on specifically for the 2A impact
tr26
intentionally ignoring the bounty aspect
SteveMND
Since Texas' absolutely idiotic "civilian bountyhunter" abortion law went into effect, every Red state has looked to it as a perfect way >
SteveMND
< to get around that troublesome, pesky ol' thing called "Judicial Review." Absolutely pathetic.

And the Republicans quest to become a theocratic terror state like Saudi Arabia or ISIS continues uninterrupted
TheFifthTK
I’ve said it once and I will say it again…the states are knowingly passing unconstitutional laws in order to reach the Supreme Court 1/2
TheFifthTK
to strip women of what few rights they are afforded. This is pure evil and they have no right to interfere.
tr26
Several states (like MS) openly said that was their intent, but this one follows the TX law that SCOTUS refused to rule on, so it’ll stand.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
Either they get to the SC & it strips women of rights, or the SC refuses to hear it & the state lets it stay & strips women of rights. FUCK!

Wasn't this the party claiming HIPPA protection re COVID vaccine status? Now they want 3rd party access to a woman's health records?

Missouri trying to make it illegal to abort an ectopic pregnancy. You cannot give birth to an ectopic pregnancy and often kills the mother.
WisconsinHome
Terrifying
LoneBoot
Can confirm. The talk w/ the doc went: We need to begin terminating by Fri (it was Tues PM) if you want to minimize odds of comp. and dying
LordHosk
The person proposing the bill said "there is no technology to know if its a ectopic pregnancy"a OB-GYN said "a simple ultrasound shows it...
LordHosk
he responded "I don't know what that thing you mentioned is, so I will assume you made up something that doesn't exist"
Enginerrrrrrrrr
No. Please tell me this conversation did not happen.
LordHosk
They played it on NPR a couple days ago. My wife just screamed "HE'S REGULATING PREGNANCY AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT A ULTRASOUND IS?"

Fucking hell...

protecting the clump of cells at the cost of actual living people. jfc nobody should be forced to be an incubator for another person
neezie
If they outlaw abortion, someone should legally ceed their child while pregnant to be forced adoption by these “protectors of the unborn”.
Tootsie1
THIS IS NOT ABOUT PROTECTING THE UNBORN! THIS IS ABOUT OPPRESSING WOMEN! IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN. STAY ON POINT PEOPLE.
WisconsinHome
Correct!
igniteice
I want to see someone argue in court "I didn't abort anyone. Who'd I abort? What's their name? Social security number?"
neezie
also argue the stand your ground lawsuit if you were endangered, no? Invasion of home and bodily harm allow you to defend yourself no?
Dionysus187
I remember a case where a guy skirted underage drinking laws by arguing he is actually 9 months older than his "official" age
Dionysus187
He won but IIRC it was a loophole that was almost immediately plugged.
NiceGreenArrows
It's not just forcing them to be an incubator. Forcing mothers that miscarry to undergo legal battles, as well as their doctors, forcing
NiceGreenArrows
women with entirely unviable babies to still carry out the stillbirth, even at the risk of their lives...Absolute insanity.
ladylambi
I've had 2 miscarriages. They would break me doing this... I live in Canada fortunately...
ChubbsIsMyName
As a new mother of nearly 2 years, who had 5 miscarriages before welcoming my daughter into this world..fuck them!
ChubbsIsMyName
And now I'm worried even more about her future (and any other child I MAY have) at the hands of these ultra religious nuts.
Comet260
"But you're a clump of cells tooooooo!!!" They act like this is the ultimate gotcha.
omgzwtfs
That's why the argument needs to stay on bodily autonomy IMO, anti-abortion laws "protecting" the unborn are granting them additional rights
omgzwtfs
to use the mother's body without consent. For the sake of argument we could call a zygote human with complete rights and it wouldn't change.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
This. Go ahead and give them all the rights a born human has. It still won't give them the right to use another person's organs without /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
consent, since no other human has that right. /2
Beardedgeek72
Texas lawmaker has already proposed the death penalty for anyone aiding an abortion.
NotaCPA
I for one 100% agree with that if it only applies to those who fly out of state to avoid the law. I'm prochoice, but you know won't touch 2

I can’t believe how low USA have gone. I am afraid for my little daughter’s future if this insanity reaches Europe.
LegionOfCats
This is the state legislature of Idaho. Plenty of U.S. states have protected abortion rights.
maelennfromterokkareu
Which is normal. The horrible part is The fact that there is even ONE state with such open disregard of human rights.
DonL9
I fear for my daughter's future living here in the US. The fundamentalist right is pushing for Christian sharia law.
Hemelsblauw
Let's make sure it doesn't reach us. Vote! Every time! The EU currently makes Poland and Hungary suffer for things like these. So Vote!
OmNachoMama
Abortion won't stop. It will just be a back alley and a coat hanget all over again. More actual living women will get hurt, become sick,
OmNachoMama
Or maybe even die after that illegal procedure. I wonder how many will suicide in despair.
SuperfluousMeh
This is why I told my doctor order a hysterectomy. He asked for my reasons as documentation and I said I will not be raped into motherhood.
OmNachoMama
That's a pretty drastic solution, but you had your reasons , I'm sure
SuperfluousMeh
Well I've never been interested in having children anyway. And now the useless organ is becoming troublesome.
OmNachoMama
I never wanted kids. I had endometriosis, and I had a hysterectomy at 31. The doctor asked my husband permission as if my illness and pain
hungoveratworkguy
Republicans & conservatives really are trying to prove to everyone how evil and stupid they are
Frozenspokes
Evil and stupid gets votes unfortunately.
MCNewYorkLives
Can we just slaap suit this chick for having an abortion? Like jfc I hate all this shit with having random ppl suing others.
MCNewYorkLives
But sadly, I feel like there's nothing many can do (outside of state) besides overloading the system with spam
LordHosk
But thats the point, filling the courts with spam so that every time a judge sees a abortion case they just dismiss it to avoid the headache
Dontstopbelever2000ismyfavoritesoap
Subpoena her records (most women will have a miscarriage at some point) and sue her. Theyll never understand if it doesnt happen to them
MrYsGuy
This is going to sound harsh, but I can’t wait for this old, uneducated, bible-thumping racist generation to die off.
zFUBARz
A good number of people my age (Millennials) are nearly as bad as their boomer parents.
PastureofMuppets
Isnt generational. The original civil rights leaders, feminist leaders, and lgbtq leaders are part of the same generation. This is a mindset
PastureofMuppets
of intolerance, lack of exposure to other cultures, lack of education, and fear of the unfamiliar, and a need for strong authority figures.
PastureofMuppets
The best to hope for is that the efforts of the courageous advocates of that gen will reasonate with future generations more than this shit
IAmDrBanner
Unfortunately, they have kids and grandkids that they raised with the same values. A few of them might wise up, but most won't.
SuperfluousMeh
Oh gosh yes. It is difficult to see the indoctrination of my former family members, and their tiny kids. They're the Next Generation.
SuperfluousMeh
And they will be hard core Believers in this horseshit.
OriginalAndWitty
6 weeks... Some people don't even know they're pregnant until after that. Fuck conservatives.
tr26
A pregnancy that early is usually aborted by inducing a period. That’s it, it’s a period. But these fuckers…
freckledkink
There are women who have a period still during that 6 weeks. There are lighter months and heavy months and sometimes months that get
freckledkink
Skipped or cycles that are 5-6 weeks.
rayvn
6 weeks from your last period. So, you have to get the abortion before you're even 1-2 weeks late (assuming a perfectly regular cycle).
sumowoman
I'm sterilised. It was a difficult decision, but recent developments in the world have shown it was a fantastic decision.
LordHosk
Some people? MOST people, Most women don't have a exactly 28 day cycle and its not uncommon to miss a month even when not sexually active.
zFUBARz
Knew a girl in college who missed a month like 2 times a year, was never once pregnant, just had a wonky cycle.
rayvn
"Knew a girl..." That is a good 30-50% of my female friends, and myself included. Perfect cycles are more rare than non.
messica2
My cycle is crazy. I'll skip a month and it's normal for me. No chance I'm pregnant so it's no worries but it's annoyingly irregular..
ariafiresong
Same, I don't even track it, I just wait for the cramps that preface it by a day or two.
zFUBARz
Oh I don't doubt it, I've known several who are on birth control partially to regulate their cycles as well, including my partner. (1/2)
zFUBARz
She just stands out in my memory, because it was so frequent. (2/2)
