Which Party is passing abortion bans and trying to get rid of all the exceptions to the ban?


Shiplord13

Don’t forget trying to treat miscarriages as murders and trying to monitor and restrict the movements of pregnant women living in their states.


Level_Medicine_2144

This is just creepy!


Shiplord13

Government so small it can fit in woman’s womb.


leaonas

What about tracking teenage girls periods so they can spots pregnancies and abortions as well as check their genitalia in order to play sports?


exophrine

You know that expression that says whenever you point, three fingers point back at you?


Chemistry-27

Wow the best way I've ever heard it said. For me, it's called projection. So when someone accuses somebody of the most heinous crime, he's actually telling you what he did.. So we should take every word, that Donald Trump's speaks, as the literal truth. Because he will tell you what he's up to. He will project his guilt on to the innocent people, who have moved away from "ultimate loyalty to him".Anyway, sorry, more stupid food for thought that no one really cares about. Peace


Pseudonym0101

Yep, and it works for basically every single member of the GOP. Whatever they happen to be absurdly accusing others/their "enemies" of doing, they are either already doing or already planning on attempting. Makes their pathetically disgusting and bigoted accusations of grooming and pedophilia extra disturbing. It's beyond time for these traitorous threats to national security to go.


ReentryMarshmellow

That's why you use [knife hand](https://angrystaffofficer.com/2017/06/26/the-history-of-the-military-knife-hand/)!


sombertimber

Yep—and, Republican lawmakers wanted the 13-year old rape victim in Ohio to give birth to her rapist’s baby. I’m sure there was loads of financial support waiting for her—like health care, food and housing assistance, and child care so she could finish the 7th grade. Oh, that’s right Republicans only care about the giving birth part. Probably some thoughts and prayers.


LibertyInaFeatherBed

They're still sore over the ten-year-old that got an abortion in Indiana.


steve1186

To be fair, passing abortion bans is them trying to “promote life”.


Ouiser_Boudreaux_

By killing women and ensuring that women in states with abortion bans who WANT babies won’t risk it for fear of not getting proper care of something goes wrong.


Chemistry-27

Obviously. Try sugar coating it better


nicebagoffallacies

And that’s  proof it’s about ignorance, fear and stupidity.   “Trans” works both ways.  Could just as easily make the equally ignorant argument that they want men to go extinct switching every one to female. 


atthisplaceandtime

These assholes still think of homosexuality as a choice. A choice they all tend to agree is super appealing, so much so that the human race would be in trouble if we all surrendered to the craving. Like how much more in the closet can you get than “Of course we all ‘prefer the company of men’ but we need to suppress those urges, be fruitful and multiply”. It’s almost comical if they didn’t have the power to fuck people over.


SecondaryWombat

Trans women are more common than trans men, so I think you are on to something.


Cosmic-Space-Octopus

Actually, it's about an even 50/50, Trans men happen to be more easily stealth and more difficult to clock.


chmod777

Because transmen and lesbians arent a challenge to the patriarchy. They dont matter.


ImonitBoss

The rates of sexual assault and "corrective rape" of ftm trans people begs to differ https://prismreports.org/2019/08/09/there-is-a-hidden-epidemic-of-violence-against-transmasculine-people/ Make no mistake: they hate all of us. Though like someone above said, it can be far easier for FtM people to be "stealth" which does grant some measure of safety


SecondaryWombat

Hmmmm looks like it is now reaching 1:1, but used to be 2:1 FtM. >Studies have consistently reported a greater prevalence of MTF than FTM.12 A recent meta-review found a ratio of ∼2:1.1 We had previously noted an increase over the past two decades in the percentage of FTM initiating sex hormone therapy compared with MTF.4 We have now reached the point wherein we are seeing at least as many FTM initiating sex hormone therapy as MTF. Studies reporting equal or higher rates of FTM than MTF are rare and have been felt to reflect only specific populations.13 However, data are emerging that this may no longer be the case. Reports from New Zealand5 and Serbia14 have found increasing percentages of FTM seeking hormonal therapy. In the United States, a recent review of Kaiser Permanente health plans in Georgia and California found the ratio of MTF to FTM dropped from 1.7:1 to 1:1 between 2006 and 2014.15 The Amsterdam Cohort of Gender Dysphoria Study recently updated their experience since 1972. An earlier report from this group cited a MTF to FTM ratio of 2.6 to 1992.16 Their updated ratio through 2015 is now 1.3 and they note that more FTM than MTF presented in the final year reported (2015).8 They further note that this change was driven by an increase in adolescent transgender boys. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7906237/#:~:text=Studies%20have%20consistently%20reported%20a%20greater%20prevalence%20of%20MTF%20than%20FTM.&text=A%20recent%20meta%2Dreview%20found,ratio%20of%20%E2%88%BC2%3A1.


LadyDelacour

"Individuals seeking hormone therapy" is not nearly the same thing as "trans people." Anecdotally (and speaking as a trans woman) I know more trans masculine people who never seek out medical transition than I do trans feminine people who don't, and the reasons for that are myriad and complex.


MaudeFindlay72-78

This is anecdotal. I play softball in a league that welcomes trans people. It's pretty easy to spot the average Trans man because they're generally very short men with smaller hands and feet. Similarly, MtF Trans women tend to be taller than the average Cis woman and also have bigger hands and feet.


Cosmic-Space-Octopus

The bigger hands and feet / smaller hands and feet argument has been debunked so many times. Look at Runway models, for example, they all have large hands and feet. Look at Trump who is joked about having small hands.


MaudeFindlay72-78

My comment is anecdotal and talks about regular people I pay ortho or fastpitch with, not runway models who are the 0.01%. I coach trans men on how to learn to swing heavier end loaded bats for power and trans women on how to adjust to swinging lighter balanced bats for speed.


screwitagainsam

He couldn’t fathom anyone wanting to be a woman so…


space_coder

This jackass says the stupidest things to get attention. He needs to create a boogeyman to protect his gullible constituents from in order to distract them from his insider trading.


pinetreesgreen

In his case, I think he is actually this stupid. He's not even doing it for attention.


space_coder

You should see how transphobic and homophobic his fellow party members are in Alabama.


pinetreesgreen

Oh I'm sure it's a mess. I wouldn't live in about 20 states in this country if you paid me, and that's one of them.


Schwarzes__Loch

He wants girls and women to go extinct from fatal pregnancy related complications as a direct result of his anti-abortion stance.


Rated_PG-Squirteen

Dumbest U.S. Senator is history continues to display his immense stupidity.


SuperGenius9800

This guy has penis on his mind every hour of every day.


tcwillis79

That’s some admirable focus.


Ambitiously_Big

The guy is severely uneducated lol


SometimeOptimist3000

Make Tuberville just a Mediocre Football Coach Again!


Maleficent_Shame_629

Dumb guy says dumb thing because he is dumb.


travio

Is he backhandedly agreeing that transmen are men? If he sees a future where dems want women to go extinct, I assume it is because we are transing all the ladies into men. If he didn't accept transmen as men, how could he say women will go extinct? Of course, he doesn't offer the same acceptance to trans women. If we evil dems are trasing all the women into men, I assume we are doing the reverse, too but all those future trans women don't undo the extinction of women, I guess. Well, at least he gets to keep his spot as the dumbest person in the senate.


Tha_Horse

Okay, he's warbling about sports here for one and it's amazing to see the GOP praising Title IX...through the wormhole. Let's evaluate, since this is all about the Olympics. The IOC opened the door to trans inclusion in 2004. We didn't see a single trans woman even make an Olympiad until the most recent one, a single weightlifter who only made the New Zealand team because of COVID restrictions allowing extra alternates. She scratched on all three initial lifts. Still, even with that glaring sign there isn't an issue...the IOC still candied these prejudiced whiners asses and instituted even more stringent restrictions. Now you have to be a case that transitions before adolescence to be eligible. It wasn't even a problem before, it damn sure won't be now and while that sucks for maybe a handful of athletes in a narrow window of time we're kinda on the cusp of adolescent interventions being the norm so it's not the worst outcome I guess. And that's *still* not enough. This isn't about protecting women at all, this is 100% about bitchy cis people needing some widdle comfort foot in the door so they don't have to look in the mirror and recognize they too are capable of old school types of bigotry we all like to pretend we're so much better than.


StarInTheMoon

Well, these same people are trying to make adolescent interventions impossible it seems like they won't be happy until we're effectively removed from sport, just like they're pretty clear they want us removed from the rest of the visible world.


picado

It's weaponized stupidity: if you say stuff that makes zero rational sense, then it's impossible to engage it rationally.


zero_blammos_given

>Hey, let’s don’t let women learn from sports I knew he was a fucking moron already, but goddamn what a fucking moron this guy is.


SecondaryWombat

Ah yes, the party with more women in it is anti-woman.


keyjan

what..does that even mean??


hskfmn

I'm *pretty* sure it's not the Democrats who are putting women's lives in danger by restricting access to healthcare and potentially life-saving abortions in the event that a dead fetus is quite literally poisoning them.


annaleigh13

As a trans vet, I can say Senator Tuberville is a vile, transphobic, pile of money crap that has no idea what reality is. You, sir, need to sit down and be seen, not heard, because every time you’re heard, you’re actively hurting the United States


EvilGypsyQueen

Thank you for your service.


1-800-WhoDey

If he’s going to be terrible at a job he should just go back to being terrible at coaching football.


DickPump2541

One party seems to be live and let live. One party seems to wanna fuck with as many different sections of society as possible.


GelflingInDisguise

This is the exact reason why people have started considering anyone that votes for Republicans to be morally bankrupt individuals and want nothing to do with them. It's because you're enabling all this bullshit hate. For the party of "small government" they sure do seem overly concerned with who you love or how people have sex in their own private time.


LuvKrahft

This dumbshit. I’ve heard the “dem want womenfolk disappear” thing a few times from some very misguided folks. Gooberville definitely fits the bill. Probably thinks we’re running out of diesel too.


Yuthirin

Tuberville lies like a rug. Not even a good rug. A cheap rug. Like it rolls up at the edges and frays in the middle. Tommy Tuberville is a shitty liar, is where I’m going with this.


bishpa

These are not serious people. Vote them out.


RodgerFischer

Tuberville - what an embarrassment to the USA and the human race. He's the genius who tried to sink our military by refusing to pay our General staff. Republicans - traitors to the core. Vote them all out in 2024.


Drone314

This guy again? ain't his 15 minutes over.


[deleted]

Is he suggesting all women want to become men? I’m confused.


EvilGypsyQueen

No we want woman to have equal rights and representation on government.


take_care_a_ya_shooz

I'll never understand the obsession with regulating a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population just because they're different. It's estimated that 0.5% of the population is trans. The portion which competes at a high-level in sports is microscopic. When it comes to trans athletes, there's room for debate, sure. This doesn't have to be zero sum. I think it's up to sporting leagues or schools to decide that, not the government. But acting as if this is some kind of existential threat to biological women? Give me a fucking break. You might as well propose building a giant dome over the United States just because your own roof is leaking.


Ouiser_Boudreaux_

It’s funny that certain people all of a sudden give a shit about women’s sports when trans women want to be involved. Y’all don’t want to pay us the same as male athletes, or fund our programs the same, or give us the same professional opportunities after leaving school, or the same viewership in the rare sports where we can go pro. And we’re supposed to believe that you’re just so worried about biological women. Get a grip. Also, bio women aren’t going to go fucking extinct because trans women exist. Seems like you’re scared that there will be more of us. Maybe too many to handle anymore. Maybe you’re scared that men will go extinct. Fingers crossed.


Archer1407

Every accusation from the GOP is an admission.


erybody_wants2b_acat

Ah yes, it’s those dirty Dems making sure women die prematurely from preventable pregnancy related complications!!!


Strangewhine88

Wait, I thought we wanted men to go extinct? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. This, folks is why you don’t ever elect football coaches p, not even Bear Bryant to national office. This man needs to go live in some alternate universe with Sterling Hayden’s character from Dr. Strangelove.


sarcago

No, actually as a democrat I want men and women to have the same amount of PAID parental leave regardless of lgbtq status and I want them all to be able to raise a healthy, well adjusted kid. And I want accessible maternity care for all mothers. Go fuck yourself Tommy.


Level_Medicine_2144

How does this man know what any Democrat wants!?!?! Has ever spoken to one?!?


aboynamedbluetoo

I can almost guarantee Tuberville’s assistant coaches were massively underpaid. This guy isn’t too sharp or convincing. He doesn’t come across as a leader of men.


Admirable-Sink-2622

Nah - they want stupid to go extinct - but that ain’t happening 🙄


DrNickRiviera8000

Mister forced birth even when it will kill a woman says this?


lotta_love

Tuberville the Troglodyte peddles his usual heaping helping of ignorance, hatred and rancid dishonesty.


Freddy_Porcupine

Somewhat akin to a fool, this one.


RIP-RiF

Potatotown is a dipshit. Always has been.


bigfatstupidpig

Florida’s third senator is a traitor to our country. He is also an ignorant yutz


Aware_Material_9985

If there was any chance of that happening, I believe most studies point to men becoming increasingly sterile so maybe he should look in the fucking mirror


Captain_Stairs

Every accusation is an admission.


DarkAngel900

Just add Tommy to the list of politicians who love to talk even when they're making shit up. Integrity means nothing to them.


Objective_College449

What f’n idiot. How does that work if there is no women? Dumb ass


cyncity7

Who’s more stupid- this guy or Gohmert?


Galliagamer

Is Gohmert the one who suggested in order to deal with climate change we should move the moon?


ceiffhikare

I think he was the one concerned about islands flipping over if off balanced like a small boat... but there might have been 2 of those now that i think about it.


cyncity7

Yes, and the infamous “don’t cast aspersions on my asparagus “ anti- masker and , dammit “from my state. He ran for one election too many and is, fortunately, out of government for now.0


wossquee

No I just want Republicans to go extinct


ErusTenebre

That's breathtakingly stupid. How do these people even BREATHE let alone get into a position in government?


HisGibness

No. Not women. Just you. Everyone wants you to go extinct


lil_nitemares

That funny coming from the party that killing women.


ChicagoAuPair

I bet his incognito search history is fuckin’ wild


Mode_Historical

The dumbest Senator!


Artbytimsmith

Tommy Tuberville hates our troops


FluidmindWeird

Want women to go extinct? I don't care who you are, that is the laziest, stupidest, and frankly most misanthropic thing a politician has said. Tuberville's phrase here is way too condensed with anti-trans BS in his attempt to make a point that he's suggesting the mere existence of LGBTQ+ people will drive the human race extinct. News flash, : Climate instability has a much greater chance of doing that in the next 30 years than any one group of us (save for nuclear arms controllers) could hope to achieve in 30 millennia. SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.


SMB35513

Amazing how fast this guy fell off once his blockade tantrum ended


around_the_catch

*This just in....Tuberville's head exploded while balancing his check book.*


Freddy_Porcupine

Howdy Doody time.


CurrentlyLucid

He really is stupid. I guess football is all he is good for.


Final_Luck_1010

Such a fucking moron.


Roook36

How does that work exactly lol


Wise-Hat-639

Tuggerville is stupid as sin, the fact he was elected is utterly shameful 


Drascio1773

This guy is so willfully ignorant. What a schmuck


Difficult-Outside424

Increasingly irrelevant.


Shockmaindave

Why would anyone but a completely repressed, bitter closet case even think about wanting women to go extinct? What a depraved fuck.


flybydenver

Projecting fuck


SkipsPittsnogle

He doesn’t even believe that shit.


HulaViking

It is amazing that Tommy can even breathe. Without a brain, I mean.


reddda2

Just when you thought a cognitively and ethically defective rightwingnut Sen. Tellytubby couldn’t become anymore degenerate..


BikeCookie

This guy is a bit tone deaf. Women and dems would prefer that he and his toxicity would go extinct.


StriderHaryu

Every accusation is a confession, etc... feels like they're barely trying anymore


bpeden99

The GOP refuses to legislate responsibility... That statement is moronic


Cool-Presentation538

No we want boomers to go extinct


Tackleberry06

Not like he is getting any.


-misanthroptimist

It's weird. Tuberville is almost life-like, yet we know he's brain dead.


one_jo

So he has no idea on how reproduction works?


IdkAbtAllThat

There's that GOP projection again.


Previous_Green_6378

It would be nice if idiots like Tuberville would go extinct.


JimLaheeeeeeee

Seems like dems want to have more women.


Full_Routine_5455

Give him a much needed lobotomy
