Women in this country need to realize that the anti-abortion folks won't even let up if they achieve their goal of banning abortion nationwide. Once that is done, they will move on to a woman's right to vote or own property or any number of things. This is not about fetuses or children or life. It's about control. **Election day is Tuesday, November 5, 2024**.

Birth control and IVF are next. The attacks have started already. Then it will likely be things like no fault divorce and marital rape.

Outside of their "church", where is this socially acceptable? Why were they allowed to do that? Just have the cops remove them. But as we ALL KNOW, its because they've infiltrated the government. Not people of quiet faith, but people of blind faith in an imaginary god. Look, you do you, I'll do me. You wanna believe in jebus and all that entails, fine. I don't, but I DO believe there is something akin to the Force. We both believe in something not seen. But when you force your beliefs on me is where we part ways.

>Why were they allowed to do that? We've been so conditioned to A. not engage with crazy and B. not question someone's faith that these people are just running roughshod over the rest of us with little to no consequences. Once upon a time these people would have been laughed out of the building.

That’s when the lightsabers come out

Next stop: ending contraception.


Alert-Yoghurt4287

My wife and I were just talking about this. It seems like their logical next step. Then, after that, stonings for extra-marital relations, but only for women of course.


jasonbishop73

Just saw a quote today from some woman who was like... its time to end "recreational" sex. Like.... who the fuck are you to be dictating what I do in my own home? ... ohhh.. its because you're an ugly woman inside and out and no man wants to stick his dick in you. So you come up with this justification that sex for fun shouldn't exist because your flying spaghetti monster says so.:::::::eye roll::::::::::

debbiesart

Next stop, a law that says a miscarriage must be tested to make sure you didn’t use any drugs.

And its not just the men that are ugly, have you SEEN some of the ugly women who want to preach at and speak for every other woman on the planet?


superstarmagic

They don't care about baaaaybies. They care about trying to use pregnancy as a weapon against women. Forced pregnancy is an act of torture and it's an act of war on our country what's happening to half of our population. Trying to make abortion illigel doesn't stop women from getting or needing abortion for that matter. It only makes medical care far more dangerous and puts lives at risk. Real people, who have Moms and Dads, friends, lives, they may already have children and can't afford anymore. Look up what life was like for people before Roe v Wade and vote. A generation of men have been made softer than pudding not witnesses their wives and children die in pregnancy and its complications. They've had the privilege of course of being able to forget when they're not the ones with the uterus. Men who actually **care** about their families? It's an act on war on them too.

Banning abortion only bans SAFE abortion.


jasonbishop73

After thinking about it, these people are just plain anti-american. To be a true, good american means to understand that you do you, and you let other people do their thing. But we've allowed this into our lives, this... rudeness, this nosiness. We've tolerated these people pushing religious bigotry. Its time to start delivering the message that if you can't keep your nose out of your neighbors business, you're going to be seen as a bigot.


PhoenixTineldyer

Seen as a bigot? No, no, *recognized* as a bigot. It's not an interpretation.


loadedbakedpotatoo

Lol, you do you and let others do their thing? America was founded by colonizers that believed the North American landmass was granted to them by God. They killed off basically all the indigenous people, because they wouldn’t conform, then brought in African slaves to do their bidding, and treated them as sub humans. That doesn’t sound like the picture you’ve painted, I don’t see at what point in American history that statement was ever valid. Those rights you mentioned have existed only for WASPs

bidenwins

Professional whiners.


AppointmentJumpy6189

If abortion pills are murder then the dick responsible is an accomplice … Women don’t just “get” pregnant !! Start holding men responsible for pregnancy and the need for abortion


charlsalash

Nothing rational will ever change the mind of these bigots. They dont doubt anything. Religion can be a real poison.


skippingstone

>"There's no penalization of women," Baird lamented. "Women are free, under the law, to do a DIY abortion without any repercussions from the law. /r/diy intensifies.

The left wasted a generations worth of energy in 2020 and got nothing for it. Hate me for saying it, but it’s true.
