I'm sure next on the docket will be a bill to ensure any childless women over the age of 20 are kidnapped and impregnated by the state.
That's republicans for you though, determined to ensure any and all women remain barefoot and pregnant at all times
- Optimistic of you to set the age limit so high tbh..
  
  16 is when they're most fertile!
- I think they covered this in The Handmaid's Tale.
- They'll just legalize rape.
- Blessed be the fruit
Abortion pills are safer than over the counter acetaminophen.
- Acetaminophen ODing is a slow and painful death
  
  Parenthood is even slower and hurts in unimaginable ways.
- Not from the point of view of most Republicans. You can make the claim that abortion pills ‘kill’ 100% of people in a pregnant person. If abortion is murder, then abortion pills must be placed on a similar level to rat poison or cyanide. Ironically, neither is actually a controlled substance…
  
  I understand the point you're making (the exclusion of the mother counting as a person is a nice touch, BTW). However, I think it's important to be clear that they are not entitled to their delusional point of view. Abortion pills being safer than acetaminophen is a matter of medical fact, and is not actually up for debate no matter how butthurt they get about it.
Cis women being forced to understand what it’s like being trans.
- That’s pretty messed up, but you’re not wrong. I wish we could let people do what they want with themselves. Is that so hard?
