I will never understand why people in general, and women in particular, vote for pro choice constitutional amendments, and the turn on a dime and vote for representatives who would not only take away those rights, but criminalize them.
Hey, Barrett! Iran is calling. They need brutally backward misogynist religious freaks like you to help them perpetuate their Biblical era theocratic oppression!
Once again, Tennesseans have demonstrated why their state should not be allowed in the Union - too many arrogant stupid assholes have been elected there, and they need to go - as do the Tennessee voters who put them in their positions.
I know, I know - there's some "very fine people" in Tennessee, but most of their legislators seem to be the "very fine people" that Trump was defending after Charlottesville.
This bill - does it also call for the death penalty for those "evil" doctors who perform the abortion? If not, why not? Not that I'm advocating for that or the death penalty for the women. I'm opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances. Just curious.
"mostly male pro-life activists" NONE of whom will ever experience a horribly dangerous pregnancy.
Sorry not sorry. Nope, nope nope. You DO NOT get to tell me what I can do with my body. UNLESS, you're willing to let me tell you what to do with yours.
I saw a comment recently where someone said, "My body, my choice" doesn't apply when someone else's life is at stake. Someone came back with a terrific response that said, "Fun fact: if my sister is in an accident and needs a blood transfusion to survive, even if I'm the only person on earth with the right blood type, I can't be forced to donate blood." There was a bit more to it, but the point is nobody can force you to donate blood or an organ or whatever to save someone's else's life. But "pro-lifers" think you should be forced to sacrifice your own health and maybe your own life for the sake of a fetus.
I live in Tennessee. I just purchased some land in New Mexico and my 27 year old daughter and her 2 roommates (both women) will soon be fleeing the state because of this idiocy.
Women don't have to tolerate draconian laws from men who can't stand the fact that they can't control women's reproductive organs.
States like Tennessee will wonder why their population growth drops to zero.
It is going that way, anyway. Birth statistics are way below the numbers needed to maintain population. Couple that with draconian laws and a baseless fear of immigrants, and watch what will happen in 20 years. Bad things! But, carry on, Tennessee. Also, we all know that the growing rate of people on the Spectrum or with other, now identifiable conditions has climbed steadily to unmanageable levels. It's not just identification, it turns out to be actual percentages.. and that's a worldwide problem.
Nature is self correcting. I don't think humans will be allowed to overpopulate the Earth, our reproductive abilities will be curbed to the point that our global population will drop to pre 1900 levels.
I'm not sure that "nature is self-correcting," because often at best the correction arrives after the damage is done. What is interesting to me is that we have built an economic system based on the infinite growth of consumers while forgetting that no species seems to survive continued unabated growth.
Nature is not particularly self-correcting. Animals overrun and destroy habitats and ecosystems all the time. The "correction" occurs when the whole animal population dies off and different forms of life are then able to establish themselves in a fundamentally changed ecosystem. We are already doing irreversible damage.
Only because he is an asshole, but Jody is a girls name...
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.
They don't PLAN to kill women for having abortions, but they want to be sure they have the option.

How about the death penalty for proposing ridiculously evil laws like this one?
In that 2024 Vanderbilt University poll, the large gender gap across all issues is interesting – "Fifty-seven percent of all women, across political identities, identify as pro-choice." https://news.vanderbilt.edu/2024/05/22/vanderbilt-poll-majority-of-tennessee-voters-now-pro-choice-gender-gap-developing-on-key-issues

We don't want Sharia law! We want whatever the Christian Nationalist version of that is.
These people don’t have two brain cells to rub together. Do they hear the words coming out of their own mouths?

The man technically impregnated her (like the get away driver in a robbery that results in death) he'd be punished too right?

"If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament" said everyone with more than two working brain cells.

The pic of that guy is what you get when you type “southern born rapist wearing baseball hat” into an AI image generator.

OT: Creepy way too rich techbro Peter Thiel is taking his show on the road again, and delivering his series of lectures on the Antichrist in Rome. The Vatican has made no public statement, but some local Catholics, including a Vatican advisor and writers for a newspaper published by an association of bishops, are displeased: not just with Thiel's theology, but his contempt for democracy and his hyper-capitalist stance (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/world/europe/peter-thiel-rome-antichrist-catholics.html?unlocked_article_code=1.T1A.greg.vaegAXkScQgB&smid=url-share).
I have a serious problem with MEN legislating what women may or may not do with their own bodies.
I can understand that.
What ever became of minding one's own business?
Some men can't stand the fact that women have to ultimate authority over life and death and the composition of the population.
Those men think women are stupid and selfish and should just obey men when the men demand a baby boom.
Why can't we have a constitutional amendment to that effect?
That would be even harder to pass than the ERA. Because Xtians.
Oh no, we wouldn't want people to think we HATE WOMEN, now would we?
Oh no no no no. Nothing like that. Nothing at all. Nope.
I don't THINK that, I'm SURE of it.
Every action they take proves it.
