"Earlier this week, the powerful Students for Life of America released its wishlist of federal legislation, entitled “Make America Pro-Life Again”, which takes direct aim at access to abortion pills. The group is backing federal bills that would ban abortion pills entirely, outlaw telehealth abortions and require medical-grade cleanup of the pregnancy remains left behind by medication abortions. (Students for Life argues that the pills pose a threat to the US water supply because people may pass the remains of their pregnancy into the toilet.) Currently, abortion pills account for roughly two-thirds of US abortions.

Trump...flip-flopped on whether he would veto a national abortion ban passed by Congress. But he wouldn’t necessarily have to. In an interview with the Guardian, Hawkins said she believed the Trump administration should enforce the Comstock Act – which may be the easiest way for a Trump administration to effectively implement a nationwide abortion ban. ...It could be used to ban the mailing of abortion pills, as proposed by Project 2025, ...other abortion opponents think the law can be used to stop abortion clinics from obtaining all of the materials they need to do their jobs.

Susan B Anthony Pro-Life America’s president, Marjorie Dannenfelser...called for Trump to reinstate a rule that would reshape the nation’s oldest family planning program, Title X, which helps people obtain services such as contraception and STI screenings at little to no cost. Most people who rely on Title X are women and have incomes that are below or around the poverty level...the Trump administration...implemented a rule that blocked Title X-funded family planning providers from mentioning the word abortion and required them to physically separate any services that involve abortion from those that don’t, such as by creating entirely separate waiting rooms, examination rooms and office entrances solely for abortion provision Rather than comply, about 1,200 family planning clinics – including every clinic run by Planned Parenthood, the anti-abortion movement’s greatest antagonist – left Title X. More than 1.5 million people are thought to have lost access to Title X services as a direct result of the Trump administration’s changes.


Dannenfelser indicated that her group would work to lay the groundwork for “fetal personhood”, a legal doctrine that would grant embyros and fetuses full legal rights and protections. “In order to go on offense and truly defeat the abortion industry in the long term, we must strengthen the pro-life, pro-woman, pro-family resolve of the Republican Party, centered on the unalienable right to life for the unborn child that exists under the 14th Amendment,” Dannenfelser said in the memo."

  • Use the Comstock Act to limit access to abortion pills and close abortion services.
  • Use Title X to ban speech about abortion.
  • Use the 14th Amendment to create "fetal personhood (kind of ironic since they say the 14th Amendment doesn't give women the right to control their own bodies)
 
I have 2 grand girls who are juniors in college.

Know what they want for Christmas?

THE ABORTION PILL. They are very careful, but there's NO guarantee. What a national shame this is. Don't tell me for one second Republican gals don't accidently get pregnant and NOT want to be...what garbage bullshit so called "Christian nationalism " is. God is watching.....and judging .

My wife asked our daughter, who lives in Utah, if she's stocked up on Plan B. She said, "Do you know who you're talking to?!"

Many women did vote stupidly against their own best interests this past election. However men did just as stupidly if they are sexually active.

All of these restrictions and blocking? Means a much higher risk of 18 yrs of child support. And of course...tax payers too will be paying more. 🤷
 
Wife's practice saw dozens of calls for tubal ligation from young women in the first week after. I guess the rate of calls has not dropped.
 
Get what you pay for.

Well you see. The problem is the people in the States, exactly as the polls have indicated for thirty years, are voting to enshrine Abortion in the State Constitution. Now for the entire time this issue has been polled the Radical Right has sworn the polls were wrong and if it was put to a vote a vast majority would vote to ban abortion. The Radical Right is delusional you see.

I remember one weekend the Religious types were out holding up signs alongside the road to protest Abortion. One fellow in particular looked especially pious. He stood there proudly erect in his Sunday Suit and held his sign up with such obvious pride. The best part was that he was displaying the blank side of his sign instead of the anti-abortion message.

Now. As to why we should defend Abortion? I have this example.



From an evolutionary standpoint, that woman should never, ever, breed. In fact, any abortions she and similar morons may want, should be free because we have more than enough idiots in this world. In fact, I’m certain we have a surplus of idiots.

Though the woman in the link is unbelievably stupid, she unwittingly has a point. It would be possible for her to be drugged and unconscious and medical doctors implant a human embryo with different DNA in her as a nonconsensual surrogate. If she didn't become conscious until after the incident, she could indeed be pregnant with an embryo that did not have her DNA.

This is, of course, unlikely to the point of absurdity, but not impossible. If she gave birth, she would still be considered the child's mother because she gave birth to it, because she wouldn't have made a surrogacy contract.
 
I've said it before, history is repeating itself. Why some would want to regress to earlier times and mentality is beyond me.
That’s why they are called reactionaries and we are called progressives

Oh, come on, we all know that women should not have sex.(sarcasm )

Tax payers should be paying for forcing women to breed against their wills and have a child they cannot afford.start with daycare. (Watch them become pro-choice if that ever happened.

They already are. Not only that, now more men are/will be stuck with 18 yrs of child support. I blame women just as much as men for the loss in Nov, women voted against their own best interests and those of their daughters, sisters, nieces...but men sure as hell did too. Plenty of stupid to go around for both sexes.

I find it hypocritical or, at least, ingenuous for the Republicans to target agencies that provide abortions in states where it is legal since they say abortion is a state issue.
