Ta, Robyn. One look at that face tells me all I need to know. He wants women DEAD.

So, when mommy and daddy get divorced, they can still be brother and sister. Or daddy and daughter. Or mommy and junior.

It's all so confusing. 🤪

The life of the mother should be paramount. Fetuses are NOT babies. Once birthed and taken it's first breath, it is a baby. The fact is that Tennessee already kills pregnant women: Tennessee has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the U.S., with recent data (2019-2023) showing a rate of 42.1 pregnancy-related deaths per 100,000 live births. They already don't care, they only want to make it worse. Why any woman in Tennessee would want to get pregnant is beyond me. Pregnancy is almost a death sentence in these "Christian" states.

Every word you say, and then some.

Most of the time when Anti-Abortionists talk about "unborn children" they are talking about vague blastocytes. It's hard to develop sympathy for a tiny piece of tissue so they call it a

"baby" as if it were 9 months along. The whole anti abortion industry is based on lies.

Rep. Asshole, can we talk about men now? I'm for castrating all convicted rapists. Let's start with trump.

It's a great scourge of the USA that there are so many millions of people who think the proper role of government at all levels is to be everyone's "moral" police. Telling you and me what to do is their prime directive.

Correction- only the working class's "moral" police.

Billionaires have earned the right to buy their way out of obeying any kind of rules, dontyaknow?

simpledinosaur's avatar

That's true. But the people most vociferously in favor of the "moral" scheme don't seem capable of making that distinction. A lot of them are incredibly naive.

That is definitely the face of a man who would like to force women to have children they don't want. Specifically, his children. Absolutely would prefer to encounter a bear over him if I were alone in the woods.

Why don't they just use Fentynal since Canada is importing most of our supply, along with Venezuela?

I suspect that this fathead's law, had it passed, somehow would have wound up executing a lot more non-white women than white ones.

Only because he is an asshole, but Jody is a girls name...

tempusfugit's avatar

Not always. Jody on Family Affair, for example. Jody used to be a boy name.

So many of today's "girl" names were "boy" names at one point. I blame romance novels.

Michael Bowen's avatar

Most of the -ly/-ley/-lie names (Beverly, Leslie, Ashley, Shirley) were originally mostly used as boys' names.

devourerofpancakes's avatar

And it's high time boys took them back. Whose with me? Anyone? ... Um, no then?

LyftControlledCities's avatar

This male Leslie proudly claims the name!

devourerofpancakes's avatar

Leslie is a great gender neutral name.

Don’t call me Shirley.

Ellie still in the mix in 26's avatar

I can guarantee you, that Rep. Barrett would indeed; in fact, he'd pull the lever/inject the poison/sling the rope over a tree, himself.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.
