Ah yes, the party of 'keep the government out of my business!' is all for sticking their noses into other people's business. Fucking hypocrites.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Hey now that’s not really fair. They’re also traitors to democracy.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

With business they mean their corporate businesses.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

And rich people's private business.

How the hell do republican women even exist not to mention all the republican women in government. Does none of these affect them or are they always pregnant?

[-] Corkyskog 35 points 1 month ago

Some are white and wealthy enough that the rules don't apply. Some are in abusive relationships and feel forced to vote a certain way. Some are in traditional marriages where the husband controls everything, especially what's on TV and see nothing but Fox news. Some are older and in social circles that completely avoids politics, so they just vote how husband says to vote. Some are incredibly religious and only vote the way the pastor says, because they truly think God wants that.

Abortion is wrong but if I needed one then mine is ethical because I had a good reason. /s

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Republican women are no different than Republicans generally: they think the rules are for everyone else.

They aren't going to be affected because they are special. And Christian. After all, God is behind them!

See, if brown and/or poor people would just accept JEBUS into their hearts, they too would know the love that a child would provide! God only hurts sluts. He would never do that to a god fearing woman.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

God is behind all of us. He's just non-consensually railing us day in and day out. I for one don't appreciate that dick.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

They must simply lack all critical thinking skills, and be so brainwashed that they really believe God wants it this way...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The right wing media machine, coupled with poor education

Republicans: We need a federal database to track pregnant women!

Republicans: Putting gun owners into a federal database is a violation of personal freedoms!

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Making sense isn't their thing

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago

People are freaking out about the database thing but check out the zinger on the last 3 pages of the 23 page bill.

It looks like this law would allow a woman to accuse any man of being the father of her unborn child, force immediate child support payments while she's pregnant, and the accused man would not be able to question or confirm he is the father with a paternity test.

‘‘(35) provide that the State will establish and13 enforce child support obligations of the biological fa-14 ther of an unborn child (and subsequent to the birth15 of the child) to the mother of such child provided16 that—"

(skipping unrelated sections A-D then comes section E)

"‘(E) any measure to establish the pater-9 nity of a child (born or unborn) shall not be re-10 quired without the consent of the mother; and"

Haha so they never had any intention at all of passing it.

Seriously crazy.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

This is horrible, thank you for the share.

Patriarchy negatively impacts men and women.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Your local politicians should start having a lot of children right now.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I guess a lot of billionaires will be on the hook for child support if this passes.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago

They want the health records of trans people as well. They want to make lists of people, so they know who to prosecute when they make being on the lists illegal.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I think they have worse things than prosecution in mind for trans people. We are talking about fascists here.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Yes but who will they come for first? I wonder if it will be a similar order to last time.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

It’s a completely normal idea. /s

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Small government, not interfering with people's freedoms, just as they always preach.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Remember how much gaslighting the fascist party was doing about this just about 2 years ago?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

The Government of Putin can shove their agenda up their damn a-hole.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

The hell is wrong with republicans, can they stop being dumb for once?

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

You mean evil

And no, they can't stop

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

You’d think this was something new.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

They want to keep track of those future soldiers!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

All you have to do is glance at the crusader pendant around this zealots neck, to know she will kill for "the will of God" who she pretends has personally spoken to her. Any person claiming to know, or act on the "will of God" is a fraud.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

That seems pretty messed up.

Time to add username "Tab Comma Return" to their database.
