Fucking hell, this is sick and deranged.

And this is only after ONE supreme court ruling and one election cycle.

Remember: No matter how barbaric, backwards, cruel, and misogynist these religious fundamentalists and fascists say they will be on abortion, what they really want is always many steps beyond and more draconian.

Are Texas and Florida in some competition to be the worst fucking states?

In Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote that the folkish state a Nazi term for an idealized and racially pure greater Germany, must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people.

In this same passage, Hitler wrote that, It must be considered reprehensible to withhold healthy children from the nation, adding that the state must act as the guardian of a millennial future in the face of which the wishes and the selfishness of the individual must appear as nothing and submit.

Hitler also spoke of these issues in a 1934 speech to the National Socialist Womens League:

https://ghdi.ghi-dc.org/sub_document.cfm?document_id=1557
Every child that a woman brings into the world is a battle, a battle waged for the existence of her people. [] Whereas previously the programs of the liberal, intellectualist womens movements contained many points, the program of our National Socialist Womens movement has in reality but one single point, and that point is the child, that tiny creature which must be born and grow strong and which alone gives meaning to the whole life-struggle.

Indeed, this view was codified in German law by 1943, which stated:

https://www.jstor.org/stable/4397988
A woman who kills her fetus or permits such a killing by another will be punished by a prison sentence and, in especially serious cases, by penitentiary. An attempt is punishable. Whoever else kills the fetus of a pregnant woman will be punished by a penitentiary sentence, in milder cases by prison.

If the perpetrator through such deeds continuously impairs the vitality of the German Volk, the death penalty can be imposed. Whoever procures for the pregnant woman a means or objects for killing the fetus will be punished by prison sentence, and in especially serious cases, by penitentiary.

Rep. Mary Miller calls Roe decision victory for white life

Nothing says like "freedom" like "We, the government, will tell you what you can do to your body, and you can't go elsewhere and escape us."

Imagine if Democrats tried to arrest people for leaving the state to buy guns. Guns are less alive than fetuses and they get more defense than women.

This is disturbing.
You can't always tell a person is pregnant by looking at them. So it will likely end with all women who are leaving the state by these roads being forced to take a pregnancy test.

I will refrain from saying how anyone attempting to enforce these laws should be dealt with. Just know that "following orders" and "enforcing the laws" didn't save the Nazis from the noose at Nuremberg and it won't here and now.

This is serious enough to act intelligently. You can fight back against this crisis by demanding that Congress fund food and shelter for immigrants. Doing so is fighting these fascists and making cities more livable.

Forced roadside pregnancy tests is a nightmare.

The most frightening story I ever read on r/nosleep has nothing to do with wendigos or skinwalkers, it's an account of a pregnant Texas woman being stalked because MAGA people think she's considering an abortion, and the law is on the side of the stalkers every step of the way. Is the story even fiction? It's hard to tell.

Something being "real" is what makes something hit harder no matter the emotion. Like, the most depressing thing I've ever seen was this small video of an MMA fighter doing a little pre-fight routine over the years. It still gets me with the image of him essentially losing his ability to perform it due to just how badly he had been beat up over the years and his joints stopped working so well.

Shame about the whole "brainwashed cult followers" thing. I had a friend in high school, and she was very sweet. Smart, well spoken, if a bit meek.

We reconnected a few years ago and we get coffee now and again. Turns out she thinks the election was stolen wild to me how even outwardly normal and well adjusted adults ascribe to this buffoonery.

Yeah, this is the type of shit they support in private but then do their performative disagreement when questioned. Like "Oh no, I don't support THAT and wish republicans would focus on other stuff, but I'm completely fine with and will do nothing but vote for republicans who keep doing it because of "other things" they do that I like. What things? I can't tell you that."

They'll let you travel and leave, but you get put on "the list" and have to later submit your baby's birth certificate dated within 9 months of when you got the positive test. Miscarriage is only an excuse if you have medical documentation backing up that it was unintentional.

Noncompliance results in a warrant for your arrest.
