Things they want to pretend harm fetuses in the water: MORAL PANIC

Things that actually harm fetuses and children in the water, like lead: Not our problem!

I just finished chemo for my second rodeo with cancer.

For days after each infusion, when going to the bathroom, I was advised to close the lid, flush, wipe everything down with Lysol wipes, throw the used wipes into a separate trash container, and then close the lid and flush again to avoid anyone in my household coming into contact with the ACTUAL FUCKING TOXINS my body was excreting.

Not ONCE, in EITHER chemo regimen, did ANYONE raise a worry that these toxins were a danger to the water supply... and NOT ONCE have any of these anti-choice liars extended their concern for the nation's waterways to the ACTUAL FUCKING TOXINS excreted by the approximately 2 million people who are treated for cancer each year.

The bullshit these anti-choice liars spread is a greater danger to the world than any drug.

Of course! Of all the drugs, prescription and illicit, in our waterways, they focus on one proven safe and allows women to enact their own choice. Handmaiden's Tale State!!

Worst motherfucking timeline ever!!

Pregnant women who are drinking their water unfiltered and straight out of the sewer system have much worse things to worry about than miscarriages.

“Oh Christ, not this shit again. How many times do we have to tell them that this is not a thing?”

Forever.

Because it doesn't matter how many bazillion times you tell them, they absolutely refuse to hear it.

“Drug-induced abortions occurring outside of the legal, direct and personal care of a properly licensed physician are causing pain and suffering to women,” Rokita said.

gosh, AG rokita, maybe we should find ways to make it easier for women to have abortions in the care of their physicians then.

These people CAN NOT for a second trick me into thinking they give one fuck about clean water.

Do they know what else goes into toilets? Because it doesn't seem like they do.

Well, we wouldn't want the fetus to drown, now would we?

Anti-abortion folks are fanatics. Lying to further your cause is acceptable to them. It’s not about them disbelieving evidence of environmental damage from global warming, fracking, etc., and getting back at us.

Butbutbut whatabout data centers, fracking and microplastics? Those are all safe as milk in the water supply.
