Summary

A Missouri Republican lawmaker proposed a bill to create a registry of pregnant women “at risk” of abortion and another for prospective adoptive parents.

The bill claims to reduce abortions by facilitating adoptions, though it lacks a clear definition of “at risk.”

Critics warn it could expand government tracking of pregnancies, echoing broader anti-abortion surveillance efforts.

Missouri remains a key battleground over abortion, with legal challenges to the state's near-total ban ongoing.

The Fascist's name is Gerad Harms.

His last name is fitting.

Guaranteed he's paid for a few abortions

How about a gun registry for people likely to shoot someone?

They aren't just going to give away the list of registered Republicans like that...

No need: just look for their hats, shirts, truck nuts, etc.

Those truck nuts are clearly aftermarket / gender-affirming care. Someone should point that out to the truck's owner.

Is there an amendment that gives you rights to your own body?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 hours ago

No, but there’s an amendment that says you don’t need such an amendment:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

“Lawmaker”

Just say republican, for god’s sake.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Who wants to bet "at risk" means poor?

[–] HellsBelle 19 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Or with non-pale skin tones?

What I don’t get though, if they want to deport colored people, why not abort them as well?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago

God kills babies all the time, so all pregnant people would have to go on the list. Then all the less desired parents would be coerced into adoption by Christian white people to churn out more bigots and Republicans. As is tradition.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

If only it were for a good cause.

Abortion should be legal, period.

There are many better solutions to try and stop abortion without taking away freedoms: Free condoms and birth control, better sex education, better state-sponsored child support, baby deposit boxes, stopping the dehumanization of women who don't consider themselves reliable mothers, etc.

If you just fight the problem instead of the stuff that is causing the problem, you're just a bad leader.

Sounds like a death registry. The majority on that list will probably die.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They need to start sending all pregnant women to concentration camps.

There would be some serious Karen pearl-clutching if that happened.
