SCOTUS removes Roe V Wade

heh, the MO story coming out is even more ridiculous... can't get a divorce if you're pregnant??

https://www.riverfronttimes.com/news...souri-38092512

In the continued story of: Republicans don't care about women and largely want to make them chattel property that exists to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

I mean, they can always easily prove me wrong here but...they keep instead reinforcing this fact.

It's not surprising MO comes in with the backwards approach to this.

However in reading the article it seems there are some valid legal issues surrounding divorce that gets complicated with pregnancy (child support, visitation, custody, etc.).

That being said I don't know why you can't proceed with the divorce and figure that stuff out later when the child is actually...y'know, born and alive and stuff.

Idaho’s Republican Party on Saturday adopted language to their platform that supports the criminalization of abortion in all cases, rejecting an amendment that would have supported allowing a person to get an abortion to save their life.

Delegates at the state’s GOP convention in Twin Falls approved changes to the party’s platform that went further than existing language classifying abortion as murder from the point of conception. The new language backs criminalization of all abortions in Idaho, according to the Idaho Capitol Sun.

Scott Herndon, who is running unopposed for a state Senate seat, proposed the amendment, which he called a “declaration of the right to life for preborn children.”

Herndon said even in the cases where a person’s life is endangered, doctors should not be giving priority to the person over the unborn child.

“We will never win this human rights issue, the greatest of our time, if we make allowances for the intentional killing of another human being,” Herndon said, according to the Capital Sun.

An amendment was adopted that supports excluding miscarriages from criminal penalties.

Idaho is set to become one of the strictest states in the country on abortion after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the nearly 50-year constitutional right to abortion.

No exceptions for rape in Idaho, is exactly what Republicans want.

Were you raped by your father at the age of 10? Too bad, girl. You're breeding stock, bear that child and likely suffer longterm health consequences as a result, including potential death.

Ectoplasmic pregnancy? Tough shit, lady. Deal with it and pray you don't die, because doctors will not be allowed to provide otherwise life-saving care.

Just a reminder: Republicans don't view women as people. They're breeding stock. Period. And if they had their way, they'd probably overturn the 19th Amendment and roll back equal protections for women so they could send them back to the kitchen where they belong, barefoot and pregnant. Because that's what Republican policy seems to be geared towards, both in word and in deed.

It's all part of the plan. Suffering is good for the soul. I'll give you 30 pieces of silver for that 10 year old girl.

And a woman in TX, forced to carry a dead fetus for two weeks because doctors were terrified that doing the procedure, which is the same to terminate a pregnancy, would run afoul of TX laws and land them in trouble.

Again, Republicans are functionally torturing women because they don't care about women or their health or bodily autonomy.

I could argue it's less about them not giving a shit about women and being so fucking stupid that they don't understand how medical procedures actually work. But I won't argue that, because the results are effectively the same and it's possible that they can be both exceedingly cruel and absolutely fucking stupid.

[Lenonis]

They're breeding stock.

Let's be clear here. Breeding stock are treated better -- because if you had a solid producer who had a life threatening pregnancy you know the owner would do whatever it would take to save the stock.

They don't want women to breed. Them want women subjugated. If they lose their life in the process all the better.

I mean, Alito is citing a guy from the 1600's or some shit that believed in magic potions, so this checks out. Wouldn't be surprised to learn he believes in "healing crystals" too.

“The idea that mom and dad together – not fake mom and fake dad – but the biological mom and biological dad, can raise their children together and do what’s right for their children, raising them to be confident in who they are, their identity, their identity is, you know, they’re a child made by God…” she said on her Facebook show MTG: Live.

In which Republicans come out against adoption, as well. Which isn't surprising given that despite all the conservatives going out there with signs saying "We'll adopt your children!" before telling people that actually, they won't because they can't afford to. Also the lack of any desire to fund adoption agencies. And their seeming general hatred for women and children overall.

Is it any wonder that the Republican party seems to have persistent problems with child abuse and child sexual abuse? I don't think so, honestly. It jives with all their other gross, awful, amoral positions.

And it will just get worse.

Expect to see First Amendment arguments against covering contraceptives, women's health devices (sorry), and other first world items/issues.

But wait, there is more. We'll lose gay marriage, and then probably gay partnerships with legal rights. We'll be back in the '70's/'80's on that issue.

And then privacy will disappear, vis a vis the First Amendment rights of a corporation.

And more fallout because Republicans hate women and are dangerously irresponsible -

Autoimmune patients in states with abortion restrictions are losing access to essential medications because some of the drugs may also be used to end a pregnancy.

Becky Schwarz, a Virginia-based lupus patient, told The Los Angeles Times that within a week of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade her rheumatologist refused to refill her methotrexate prescription.

Methotrexate, a chemotherapy and immunosuppressive drug, is widely prescribed for patients living with chronic autoimmune conditions, like lupus and Crohn's disease. The medication also has an off-label use of inducing abortion when taken in high doses and can be used to treat ectopic pregnancies, which are the leading cause of maternal mortality, accounting for 10-15% of all maternal deaths.

"This is a notice to let you know that we are pausing all prescriptions and subsequent refills of methotrexate," read a message Schwarz received from her rheumatologist, The Times reported. "This decision has been made in response to the reversal of Roe vs. Wade."

I have rheumatoid arthritis (it's annoying) and was on methotrexate for a while to try to get the symptoms under control (which thankfully they finally are!). That shit is important and can yield huge benefits for patients with various autoimmune diseases.

And now, women in many states with autoimmune diseases can and will be denied their medical treatment because their role as a potential vessel for a fetus is more important to Republicans than their existence as a human being.

Thank you republicans for soon making drug smugglers quite popular as people look for these "illegal" drugs to take care of themselves.

Hey, check it out. North Carolina trying to legalize the murder of pregnant women if you claim they were planning to have an abortion.

"Pro-life" never had a problem with murder, that's for sure.

Also, how the fuck would that even work? Escort a pregnant woman to a prison, force her to give birth, and then execute her?

Wouldn't that also mean, that you also kill potential humans, because she could get pregnant again?

Any guesses on which state will be the first to mandate hair and face coverings for women?

I've kind of gotten to the point where I think that entire side of the political spectrum suddenly vanishing would only be a good thing. It's a foundation of profound ignorance and needless cruelty based on an uncontrollable -need- to be better than others. It's utterly self-serving and completely meritless, which is why they fight these bullshit culture wars against marginalized persons - or seek to create new persons to marginalize - so they don't have to confront the fact that they have absolutely no tangible and beneficial policy positions.

The modern republican party just needs to fucking leave so they can leave everyone else the fuck alone.
