Have you heard about this horrific anti-abortion bill out of Missouri?

@bijouxbroussard

One of the lawmakers supporting this said they could be reimplanted in the uterus. 😳 With what medical degree did he come to THAT conclusion?? It's insane.

@Bushranger Same. But I sure feel bad for the women and girls who do.

@Randi1125 Ohh, brother ! 🤦🏽‍♀️

@Graylight It's not only fruit and cream that floats.

@Randi1125 Very true. And just this morning? Idaho's new termination limit for abortions will be 6 weeks, which every woman knows is essentially banning abortion. Except they didn't, and why not? A provision holds that males in a woman's life who chooses abortion may sue abortion providers.


Why write the law this way instead of simply banning abortion? Two reasons, I believe. 1) Punitive malice toward anyone who doesn't support their position and acts as such and 2) the option for financial gain to men in a situation that has nothing to do with them.

In 2014, 468 restrictions intended to limit, control or otherwise regulate women's reproductive rights. How many legislating men's bodies in that same time? Zero.

The part of small government is restricting and legislating on everything from education to TV to health to voting. That's not a government for and by the people. That's a government that uses its own citizens as food.

@RadiantRuby

Todd Akin. "You can't get pregnant from legitimate rape."

@Randi1125 Good riddance he died!

@RadiantRuby 😂

@Pherick

It really is sad. The GOP minds are in our classrooms, bedrooms, and doctor offices. They don’t have time for anything constructive.

@Randi1125 As Hamilton said in the musical, "They don't have a plan of their own, they just hate mine". Hit the nail on the head.

@Mamapolo2016

Watch this video. He doesn't even understand his own bill, And he looks like a riverboat cruise magician!

What is wrong with these people? Religious authorities are the biggest hypocrites of all, and the rest of us (mostly women) have to deal with their consequences

@Mamapolo2016 Let’s hope he’s right.

@bijouxbroussard Let's do!

@MrBrownstone Vaccines, like all medicine, are rigorously tested. Can we tell how every medication will affect every single person? Of course not. Does that mean we shouldn't use those medications? Again, of course not.

We know the vaccines have an excellent safety record and by staggering amounts they have helped and saved more people than they have hurt.

@GoodoldBob You are not right. Thats like saying jumping off a 100ft cliff is survivable. Sure, maybe a tiny fraction of people could survive, but the vast majority won't. Saying its "safe to jump" isn't right. Its a severe twisting of the real truth.

@GoodoldBob

You didn't answer my question about your wife. Would you encourage her to risk her life? Because most likely she will die.

So typical of an old crusty white man to say "get over it".

@SW-User

You're entitled to your opinion but I bet if men were able to get pregnant ab0rtion clinics would be as fast and accessible as drive-thru restaurants. But sure, go off.

@Randi1125 I don't need to blame a man for my choices and decisions. I am quite able to take responsibility for myself and not want to dump my child in the trash. And yes, I am entitled my opinion.

@SW-User

Scoot scoot

@Randi1125 Not even making medical decisions. A medical decision would allow the termination of an ectopic pregnancy.

Do you know the rationale behind this legislation? Is it religious based?

@Bushranger

Religious ideology over Science. This is what's happening in the US.

@Randi1125 Hopefully it won't last forever. But the damage it's causing is mind boggling. Hopefully not terminal.

@PTCdresser57 The Supreme Court has given every indication that five justices (that’s all that’s needed) are ready to overturn Roe v. Wade this summer. All the liberals on the Court plus Roberts are not enough to stop them, so laws like this one will take effect.

I know what to expect Theyitis. This court does not adhere to what other supreme courts usually did. In the past...very few times did a new supreme court over rule what a previous supreme court ruled.

@Theyitis

Another step into taking women’s rights, health, and most importantly lives! I’m fearful to see what comes next.

@PhoenixPhail

Even crazier are the women who will continue to vote Republican even when it’s blatantly clear they want us to have no rights over our bodies.

@Randi1125 I thought women had rights and choices when they made a baby with a man... I guess I was WRONG

@SW-User

And that will be enough of you.

@Theyitis

Correct. They're also trying to pass it that women can't cross the state line to seek an abortion.

@Randi1125 Can they do that? What gives them the right to tell us what we can or can’t do in other states? I had always heard that when Roe v. Wade gets overturned it would be no big deal for the wealthy because they would simply travel to blue states to get their abortions.

@Theyitis

It's surreal, isn't it? How can this possibly be happening in 2022? Blame it on religious doctrine.

@SW-User

It’s funny that the people who scream loudest to get government out of religion are the ones working hardest to put religion in government.

@Pherick I find it alarming that a pro-life site is considered "far-right" by some people. 😳

PS Where is "We rate LifeSiteNews..." from? "Reputable" sources such as CNN, or MSNBC? 😝

@ProfessorPlum77 Quite a few independent sites for rating media bias and the ability to post factual stories.

Then of course for just plain fact-checking

Feel free to educate yourself.

EDIT - He blocked me. What a child. I know its tough to face information that may cause you to re-think your worldview, but I had higher hopes for a "Professor". Sad.

@Pherick So long, homie!!!

@InHeaven

So how many babies have you adopted? If it's anything less than 10, you're a hypocrite.

And why is there no accountability for men?

So if it’s a “person” that early, I assume courts will make fathers pay child support? Life insurance policies can be taken out too for an embryo? 🤔

I have not adopted because I am poor@Randi1125 but for the same reason I have not killed any... The hypocrite is you. Satisfying your vagina at the expense of others’ lives

@InHeaven

Oh my goodness... I just can't.

@Scribbles Whatever helps them to have control over women.

@MrBrownstone

❤️

@wildbill83 Please refrain from stating the obvious in your posts. It makes some people angry. 😃

@MarmeeMarch

I don't know why I'm responding to this but why are there no laws against the man who caused the pregnancy? Aren't they both breaking the law? Why are women being prosecuted but not men?

Shouldn't the sperm donor be prosecuted as an accomplice for not doing everything to prevent the murder of the cell clump?

And since women "are begging the state to force taxpayers to pay for medical procedures", why aren't the men who impregnated the woman paying for the medical bills? Shouldn't it be a law if she's forced to have the baby, the daddy needs to pay?

@MarmeeMarch

You took too long. I have to go. You're probably Googling your response like you always do. 😂🤣

@Randi1125
87% of the time the woman does not know who the actual daddy is. So it's hard to make anyone pay.

But for the rest - sure the father should pay - half.

@SkeetSkeet

Or become celibate. Ha!

@SkeetSkeet Or time to change government.

@SW-User Damn, I hope so.

@SW-User ??? Missouri’s not Yankeeland. We didn’t secede but we were a slave state, and it’s mainly states from the old Confederacy that are passing laws like this.

@Theyitis Ok, I believed Missouri was always part of Canada

@TexChik that is so sad to think about. But it also is disturbing to think about some of these women that have babies and they don't care for them and are abused, etc. Its not the taxpayers responsibility its the women who opened their legs and weren't responsible. They need to pay.

@SW-User I would agree to a taxpayer funded abortion if both parents agreed to be sterilized. Since being responsible is impossible for them, spay and neuter like dogs and cats...

@TexChik yeah if they could prove who the father was without doubt they both could be sterilized. But I know one girl who has 5 kids by different men and could only identify one of the fathers. She had sex with so many men she didn't know half of their last names or even how to locate them. She was more than happy to be a welfare recipient.
