If the pregnancy was going to kill the mother, then that is god’s will.
If she loved her child, she would be willing to die for it, no?

I guess we need to stop treating all injuries and illnesses then, instead of contradicting God’s will. The babies don’t need prenatal care because they’re in God’s hands.

“God’s will” only extends to women’s health care. For some reason.

Yes, why doesn't it extend to Viagra and ED? Isn't that "God's will" MAGAs?

Seems like A LOT of politicians do NOT have an accurate understanding of reproductive biology. Maybe we should start with some science lessons in the state houses?

Great. That must have been difficult but there seems to be so much ignorance about abortion out here and she is helping to change that.

This. Republicans don't want any women to be fully in charge of their bodies.

Why's that? The ultimate real reason please.

Misogyny.

I disagree. I don't believe they dislike, have contempt for, nor are prejudiced against women.

What I do think is the reason is about privilege and control. Republicans and, in particular, Republican white men, want to maintain their privilege and be more special than others. And they want to be in control and want women and minorities to do as they're told and to live by the rules that white men decide, e.g the glory days pre-1960 when that was the status quo.

So they don’t have animosity toward women, they just don’t respect them.
I guess that’s … better.

I respect them and Im not a Democrat, liberal nor progressive. How can you stereotype Republicans this way?

They gleefully voted for a sexual predator who bragged about grabbing beauty queens by the p*ssy. They fought the equal rights amendment tooth and nail.

It’s not a stereotype, it’s the truth - Republicans don’t respect women as fully formed human beings capable of independent thought and worthy of equal protection before the law.

On an individual basis, there are Republicans who are good people, but as a single, collective entity, the Republican Party is a cancer on this country. They’ve shown us who they are. Believe them.

I know you’re trying to be charitable, but you must have a wildly different opinion of what a “good person” is than I do. No one who is a proud Republican in 2024 and votes for Trump and his ilk is a good person. Period.

I’ve come to believe this as well. There is no world in which someone votes for pain, oppression, fascism and fraud and can be called a good person. We’ve veered into “there were good Nazis too” territory. They all voted for that terror, people warned them too. Here the GOP wants to ban abortion and birth control nationwide so that women are yanked back a hundred years. I’m a SAHM, but I CHOSE to be one; the government did not compel me to do so.

She is not talking to them. They are a lost cause. She is talking to the voters who actually may still be capable of voting for their intersts and those of their children. Listen to her Arizona voters. This is not some simplistic issues best solved with sledgehammer abortion bans. Vote to keep the govt out of this.

Absolutely. While I have stayed superficial friends with these people, if they are going to vote for Trump a third time, they are showing me that either they are stupid and easily grifted, or have very low moral standards. As a woman, either way, I am not interested in associating with them or doing business with them any more.

Yes. They GOP has long comforted themselves that maternal death is up because too many of them dang women wait to have kids, but no.

“A commonly held hypothesis is that more pregnancy-related deaths are occurring because more people are having children later in life, so we wanted to investigate this question. However, we found that’s not why we’re seeing a spike in the number of maternal deaths,” said corresponding author Dr. Sadiya Khan, Magerstadt Professor of Cardiovascular Epidemiology and associate professor of cardiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “Older maternal age is an important risk factor in maternal mortality, but our findings highlight the need to learn what else is causing these rates to accelerate in more recent years, especially in younger adults less than 35 years old. We’re going in the wrong direction.””

Forced politics aren’t about life. They’re about punishing women. They’re about torturing women and making sure that our lives are as difficult and painful as possible.
