Every day the right murmurs hold my beer when anything new comes out about the control of women. They are trying to one-up the other states in a massive race to the bottom.
I’ve discussed this at length.
They want to control WOMEN.
Full stop.
In Louisiana, the GOP legislature passed and the GOP governor signed into law that reclassifies mifepristone and misoprostol as the same schedule as opioids. Punishable with up to 5 years in prison.
This means that anyone caught possessing or using without a prescription. Or those who aid in the pregnant person obtaining the medication.
However, the law does say that the medications can be used for other applications besides abortion. In my experience, the drug mifepristone has been used to control bleeding after delivery. How kind and generous! (this is heavy sarcasm). Also kind is that women who are pregnant and possess the medications will not be charged.
Is the yet heavily implied? Or is that just me?
More like with every iteration of this insanity, they learn from each other and the mistakes that trip others up.
Are they screaming and scheming loud enough for you yet?
It is not about the fetus or the child to be.
It is, and has always been, about controlling women. If it were about the child there would be comprehensive health care both before and after birth, and subsidized childcare since women have to work to feed the child.
There goes Louisiana from the list of states I will currently travel to.
Pocketbook protesting.
If you know, you know.
