They can take away recreational sex when they pry it from my cold, lifeless hand.
Every sperm is a child. If you shoot your load in to an infertile female or any other object you have committed 5 million simultaneous abortions and will be executed publicly.
Let the heathens spill theirs on the dusty ground. God will make them pay for every sperm that can't be found.
She’s not wrong. She also wasn’t wrong about the deplorables.
The Alabama legislature is going to fix the issue. Probably won't even take them that long, because banning IVF is not what anyone wanted and the law SCOAL cited was from the goddamn 1800s. No one really believes that fertilized embryos in a cooler are indistinguishable from Steve in accounting.
Then conservatives will claim this as a victory, and say that the law is doing its job to "protect life" (force pregnancy and birth on unwilling and uncompensated citizens) and that they're so amazing at compromise and everyone should love them.
Fucking Steve in accounting. Never answers the phone. I'm not even sure he's a person.
- P1: Steve in Accounting never answers the phone.
- P2: Frozen embryos never answer the phone.
- C: Steve is a frozen embryo.
I wonder if we can make it so as long as you freeze the scrapped out egg after your abortion it's okay
Jokes aside, that is not how nearly any abortions work these days.
Nearly universally, abortions are medical -- a pair of pills -- that can be very roughly described as causing a miscarriage.
It also will not be hard at all to avoid creating any loopholes, especially when the courts are clearly on the anti-choice side.
I wouldn't be too surprised. After the heart beat bills that came out soon after the supreme court ruling a lot of language for abortion pills felt like it could be applied potentially to birth control. I don't think those bills passed where I am but it is worrying.
RvW was looking like it was going down: immediately got my shit together, stopped putting it off, and finally got snipped.
I knew what was next then and I’ve been seeing a slow burn towards the obvious consequences ever since. No regretti - but it’s a serious issue for everyone. Not everybody is Never Kids like I am.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hillary Clinton is warning about the legality of birth control in the wake of a decision by the Alabama Supreme Court that found frozen embryos created through fertility treatments are children under state law.
Now it’s [in vitro fertilization], and next it’ll be birth control,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and secretary of State said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“The extreme right won’t stop trying to exert government control over our most sacred personal decisions until we codify reproductive freedom as a human right,” Clinton added.
Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra decried the court’s decision in a post on X, saying it will have “heart-wrenching consequences for women & their families.”
“I’ve long made clear that overturning Roe was just the beginning of the attacks on women’s health, privacy, & autonomy — and that’s exactly what we continue to see,” Becerra said.
Following the decision, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley said she agreed that an embryo is an unborn baby but added in an interview that “we need to treat these issues with the utmost respect.”
The original article contains 364 words, the summary contains 185 words. Saved 49%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
And nobody will even fight back.
