Oh my fucking god. No, NOTHING good comes from withholding medical information from pregnant people. You are just dressing up your desire to control women in something that sounds more palatable.

ALL OF THIS.

Except, I actually would like to see vaccine mandates in a broad set of circumstances, except in the case of a legitimate medical issue. That doesn’t make me a hypocrite; preventing the spread of COVID is a public health issue that effects everyone, whereas as SER correctly notes, abortions are not contagious. If a pregnant person chooses to not be pregnant, it doesn’t impact anyone else’s right to be pregnant, just like marriage equality doesn’t impact the right of consenting adult heterosexual couples to get married.

None of what you’re talking about is screened for prenatally. It’s a handful of trisomies, most of which are catastrophic. Like, organs-outside-the-body catastrophic. You try to make this fetch on EVERY thread about abortion, and it’s complete BS.

Obama/Clinton allied us with al Qaeda groups in both Syria and Libya, and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, during the "color revolutions".

Actually sexual orientation, at least among men, seems to be mostly hereditary, along the female family line.

My observation does not imply that men having the ability to be pregnant necessarily entails that women don't or that one group of humans is inherently better than another. Just that if the men of America woke up pregnant tomorrow, it wouldn't take 9 months for abortion to be legal, safe, affordable, and readily available.

I guess that then justifies German claims to Sudetenland in the 1930s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...Sudetenland had been since the 9th century an integral part of the Czech state

Crimea - 60 years Ukrainian

Sudetenland - 1,100 years Czech

Yep, guess you're right, just exactly the same! /s

Of course I don't recall that the Czechs were proposing an ethnic cleansing of all non-Czechs in the Sudetenland, while some of the most powerful figures in Kiev were proposing the expulsion of ethnic Russians.
