Yes, Republicans, believe it or not, forcing rape victims and children to have their attackers baby, especially when that rapist is a family member, isn’t a popular political position.

Neither is forcing women that desperately want their child, but the fetus is too ill to survive or continuing to carry it would jeopardize their health, to carry to birth to they can either suffer themselves or watch their child suffer and die.

Neither is forcing women into back alleys or to secretly take pills and fear that a complication that takes them to the hospital will lead to arrest.

Neither is denying women needed medication because it could cause a miscarriage of the happen to become pregnant, leaving them to suffer for the sake of a nonexistent fetus.

Neither is jeopardizing the careers of doctors or nurses for providing basic healthcare, causing many to leave to states where abortion is legal and leaving some areas with no obstetric care.

I mean, seriously, who would think this would be unpopular? Everyone knows the only abortions are sought by wicked women that get abortions purely for spite. /s.

Don’t leave out threatening and prosecuting women and drivers for exercising their right to travel to another state with different laws.
