A lot of older American women, have these stories, this is why Roe vs Wade was so important and should have become part of the constitution. These stories will keep happening as long as Republicans are allowed to keep mixing church and state.

These stories will keep happening as long as Republicans are allowed to keep mixing church and state.
These will continue happening so long as Republicans are allowed to be in government. Church is an excuse, not the cause. They're bad people who should not be allowed to govern.
Although you can't deny that there is a systemic connection between religions and topics like these.
Church and state was where we really needed a wall, not Mexico
This level of dysfunction surprises me, and I expected a high level of dysfunction.
Donald Trump did this.
Republicans, including Trump, did this.
Yeah, you have to include Mitchcarry O'Connel on this
And the massive asshole gingrich
It shouldn't surprise you. It's entirely intentional. The cruelty is the point.
I hate Trump as much as the next guy. But let's get real. The GOP did this.
Remember when the GOP shut down the government twice under Obama? I remember. I never forgave them for that.
It's the argument that Never Trumpers love. "Trump isn't a real Republican and we didn't want this. We merely setup all the conditions for someone like Trump to come along and eat the party whole."
Eh, it's the culmination of decades of planning and scheming by the Heritage Foundation and others. Donald Trump is just a symptom. Sometimes a single symptom overshadows the whole disease.
Yeah, we've been heading down this path since Reagan.
The path has been clear since Regean, but even that wasn't the beginning.
How far back do you want to go? Agriculture might have been a bad move.
Something definitely happened in the 70s. The civil rights movement of the 60s, seemed to spark a principal skinner moment. Plus Watergate and push back against Vietnam. "Could we be out of touch? No it's the children"
Communism's boogeyman effect was wearing off, and the conservatives needed some new material. Racism is always a good lever. So you get the southern strategy, Powell memorandum, Heritage Foundation, and the seeds for what will become Fox News.
I think there's a good argument for the early 70s as a starting point.
Conservatives are attacking women and LGBTQ people and it's not just happening in America. What the Republicans are doing sent a wave across the globe and other conservative groups are reproducing this in their own country.
It's an attack on basic rights and liberties.
Yeah, I've been observing this also in Germany and Brazil.
And Italy. And Argentina.
Fucking Republicans
Also Republicans: "it was born, doesn't count"
Maternal care was already the most feeble of all the developed countries, and even what we had is being taken away.
So does that mean a lawsuit now? Or jail?
Not anyone at the hospitals of course, I mean those "wicked" women.
That's what i was thinking--this is only the beginning of their woes. They committed a crime by having a miscarriage, i imagine this isn't the last we've heard of these stories
Let's sue God for aborting that baby.
Legit I remember hearing about an old court case once where somebody tried to sue god, but couldn't because god wasn't considered a citizen of the united states.
I think there was also another one where the suit actually went through and the guy won because god didn't show up to court. I don't think he ended up receiving the reperations, though.
This is the value of Republican lawmaking right here folks. Human suffering is all they have to offer anyone.
