Just remember that these shit Republicans are lying sacks of crap and they're going for birth control too. These Republican women won't rest until the other women are barefoot and in the kitchen.

I got my IUD replaced last fall just in case my red-ass state (TN) goes more haywire than it is already.
My wife and I had a number of miscarriages before our son (starting the kindergarten process as we speak).
We did debate keeping the misoprostol (because good reasons. you do the timeline) for a while.
"Abortion" is health care. No matter what one feels about it's role as elective birth control. The alternative is too horrifying, and that seems to me to be happening.
This state is pretty embarrassing with the shit it pulls all the time. I hope we don't go off the rails further, but I know we will. It's too solidly red.
Yeah, republicans are just targeting birth control next. They aren't backing off abortion, they're barreling toward making it so your only choices being celibate, pregnant, or dead.
wonder how they'd feel about women strapping pistols to their hip. You know. To protect the kids from their pedo husbands.
They'd be supporting their pedo husbands because they're subservient to their husbands.
well there goes my fantasy about republicans finding value in gun control laws.
They well if the next pride parade was an armed march. Which it should be to send a message that they will not be eliminated.
It reminds me of the excellent episode of The Thick of It where the guy with a disabled son has to argue against his son being allowed to attend regular school, and instead attend a special school, despite it being better for his own son, his own wishes and his son's wishes because it's government policy.
it's a poignant moment in a very aggressive comedy.
not that I have too much sympathy for republican politicians but it does illustrate how and why people vote against their own interests
Republican women are traitors to their gender. Republicans in general are traitors to the state. Republicans as individuals killed their messiah and propped up his corpse with gun ads and medical bills.
— Ms. Miller-Meeks and others spent part of the summer congressional recess talking up their support for birth control access, which is broadly popular across the country and across party lines.
So is abortion. And lets be honest here, republicans (especially the evangelical bloc) aren't exactly supportive of contraceptive access either. Which is why they always come down on programs meant to increase that access... or, you know, refuse to allow medicaid/medicare to provide it... and make sure companies know they don't have to pay for it through health insurance.

...until after the election, that is.
Hell, this Republican asshole isn't even waiting until after the election.
Actions speak louder than words and shows they're just lying assholes.
Republican women need to be democrats. Nothing about the GQP has any interest in helping women.
Yeah, I don't get it. It must take some god-level Stockholm syndrome to be a republican woman these days.
Bs they will never get a birth control bill passed. They can talk all they want but no way their religious base will stand for any women empowerment
When a Republican is talking, they're lying. When a Republican is silent, they're lying by omission.
Too little, too late I'm betting.
No one's health and well being is safe while a Republican is in office.
Fuck off.
