Don't want an abortion? Don't spread your legs. Libsluts
I am an Okie. This state has lost it's mind. Do not, under any circumstances, move here if you value any woman's right to choose.
Republicans are breeding hatebred child terrorists to shoot up schools. They ban abortion, rape underage girls, force them to birth the child, then teach them how to become terrorists and kill democrats. That's what they are constantly doing. Deport them all to Russia.
I'm not going to argue the morality of abortion here. However, I will say this:
Most republicans attribute their stance on abortion as against their religion … except there is only 1 verse in the bible that directly and unambiguously mentions abortion and that is how to perform one as a fidelity test performed at the husband's request and against the wife's wishes. Those that doubt that are more than welcome to reply with another verse that directly and explicitly talks about abortion.
Source: Numbers 5:11
“Children must be born at ALL COSTS, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES†lmao the moment you are born, you’re on your own, earn your keep freeloader!
FYI Anyone attempting to enforce this law will be eliminated without prejudice. D.O.A.
It's sickening how she basically confirmed that there aren't exceptions for 12 year old victims of incest… She said it's a very small number so it doesn't matter… Disgusting.
It's telling that they don't want to ban ivf because it's the exact same state for the empryo as with a traditional pregnancy. It's about controlling women, not being pro life. It's not logical.
Stop calling it a right 🙄
She literally says this bill is only for the pregnancy involving a woman. The argument that an embryo is alive doesn’t matter where it’s at. This is just an attack against women’s rights and sadly it’s even a woman proposing it!
They just hate women and children. This law proves it.
F*ck that bitch! They should be passing strong gun laws right now
I love how she made sure to verify that this only effects women . What men do with your eggs that’s not our concern
Wow laws telling 👩 what to do but not on gun laws so backwards
If the states won't allow abortions then the state should have to pay every woman at least $100,000 for carrying the child to term. After all, their no better than brood mares acting as surrogates.
They don’t care about “babies being murderâ€ÂÂ. They care about money. They are trying to counter act the growing number of people who are choosing not to have children. Less children, less workers for the future.
If you want to prevent abortion, you need to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Men seem unable (or unwilling) to admit that they cause 100% of them.
All unwanted pregnancies are caused by the irresponsible ejaculations of men.
Women are fertile for about 24 days per year but men are fertile 365 days a year. In fact, if you’re a man who ejaculates multiple times a day, you could cause multiple pregnancies daily. In theory, "a man could cause 1000+ unwanted pregnancies in just one year", while a woman can only get pregnant once every nine months..
Modern birth control is also brutal and not cheap, especially since many insurance companies have refused to cover family planning.. The side effects for many women include migraines, mood swings, decreased libido, depression, severe cramps, heavy bleeding, aneurysm and that’s just a small fraction of them. As a society, we really don’t mind if women suffer, physically or mentally, as long as it makes things easier for men.
In contrast, let’s look at birth control for men i.e., condoms. They’re readily available at all hours, inexpensive, convenient, and don’t require a prescription. They’re effective and work on demand, instantly. They don’t cause aneurysms, mood swings, or debilitating cramps. Men can keep them stocked up just in case, so they’re always prepared. They also cut down on STD's.
Pregnancies happen when men have an orgasm. Unwanted pregnancies happen when men orgasm irresponsibly.
This news has made my day a whole lot better.
Well done Oklahoma.
6:33 "well, I hope that anyone providing that abortion will assist that child in reporting it to the police"?!?!? WHAT?!?!!? How NAIVE!! Sounds like this woman never thought about this scenario. This is ridiculous ….
So it's about personal attitude & not the rights of women & others who assist desperate, including rape & insest victims.
I get it…'rulers' don't give a rats other than their own opinion.
And those that would of been aborted are these same idiots going to financially take care of those children?
I think George Carlin said it best.
This woman along with all the other GOP lawmakers in OK are straight up evil monsters.
This is so sticky! They go from abortion clinics on every corner to bans?? Im not for abortion but just because i dont drink alcohol doesnt mean i think we should reinstate prohibition …. look how that turned out! Underground hooch in dangerous… backalley abortions??? Even worse!
I see evangelical "orphanages" for the children that don't quite meet the ethnic or health standards of evangelical homesquads "quivers" These children raised up and "educated" to be good little domestics or enforcers of the new Theocracy.
Nothing about abortions work for thriving civilizations…. If they can get an abortion they can get a rape kit… Average women that gets an abortion have a few in life. Not kool
Thank you for that . I apprciated it.
Baby
Lives
Matters
We should have every man who gets a woman pregnant be forced to married her. This used to be called a shotgun wedding, so that both would bare the emotional and financial responsibility of raising the child. Since It takes two to make the baby, both would raise the baby, and the child would be less likely to be exploited, hopefully. And In cases of incest, rape, sexual abuse, physical abuse and trafficking the man should be put in jail. In the cases of emotional abuse, psychological abuse and Polygyny the man would either face jail or face heavy financial responsibility. If we want to force the mother to have the baby then we should force the father to step up and marry her to take care of the child as well. It’s not about just saving the life it’s about the quality of life for the baby. With DNA technology as it is the father could easily be found.
That is just Okies one uppance on Texas. They do what they do since they are considered north Texas now, but they have to add to it to prove their solidarity. It is doubtful they really care about abortion at all. If human life mattered to them, then they would provide Law Enforment to all equally; women are forced to pay into their extortion rackets and live in terror. I am so glad I moved as they have gotten steadly worse instead of better. The only thing they use kids for is to block traffic and destroy others property. They are not interested in education as they refuse to pay teachers (mainly female) and the cops won't work rape cases as their rape kits are backlogged and have been for years. It's about them getting others to snitch on people like the brown shirts they really are. Oklahoma incarcerates more women than any other state in America. It is illegal to be female in Oklahoma and this woman demonstrates her stance on punishing other women just to maintain her position in the legislature and for political clout. It's expected for others to tolerate their drunk driving and now that they are the pot capital of the USA forcing women to take the blunt of their inablitiy to regulate substance abuse, it takes the burden off their backs so they can sit around and stay drunk and watch football. That's what Okies are really about. The state is a non-stop sprialing h*ll hole that only their children can enjoy as they will not and can not care for them. Just a bunch of drunken drug users that watch sports 24/7. Abortion issues make them feel closer to God I suppose when they aren't saving the world from their fake bomb threats and non-stop replay of the Murrah bombing.
How about THE THREAT TO THOSE PRECIOUS LIVES IN THE WOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ABOUT TIME THIS CARNAGE ENDED!!!
So hear me out real quick, is the baby not a baby or is it just a clump of cells?
