I suppose what I meant was- this type of shit becoming the norm. How do you think the future of not wanting to have kids, but being forced to is going to go exactly?
Well, 14 states currently ban abortion. I am not a woman, but if I was and of child-bearing age, I would move out in a hurry.
I know it's easier said than done for a lot of folks for a lot of reasons, but besides the risk of having to carry out a pregnancy I did not want for whatever reason, and having to go through that particular hell, I would be ashamed to live in a state that treats women like that.
Agreed. And it’s why I said this is the type of America Trump wants. As long as pregnancies are forced- people will stop at no end to unload the burden on others in any way they can. Which would mean up to and/or including selling their babies illegally.
Suggesting all women flee Everytime a law is passed that doesn't work for us is short sighted. I'm not leaving my entire support system on the chance I get pregnant. First off, we're trying to get the laws changed. We're voting, and getting new abortion guidelines on the ballots. Second, yes, all women in my state should have a little vacation fund in case they want to visit the North in a hurry. A six week ban is ridiculous.
