    its never going to actually pass (but it would STILL be safer and more effective than abortion bans) its to illustrate how the law is being used against women to moronic men. Its fucking stupid, sure, libs have litterally no idea what the fuck they are doing.

      But even if it is to show that "men wouldn't tolerate it if men were denied boldily autonomy", it doesn't work as a point, because thousands of men literally have been forcibly sterilised in eugenics campaigns, genocides and medical experiments and it was male doctors and politicians supporting it and doing it.

          Like I see the point about pointing out hypocrisy, and it does get it across in some cases.

          But that tweet/bill goes straight to eugenics talking points with "emotionally and financially stable". How do you quantify that in a society where only the rich can get that?

            Try to be clever, but somehow make folks in the state that already don’t like you hate you more

      The core argument behind a ban on abortion is that you're murdering babies. That's a tough ideological nut to crack, but Dems could definitely "Own the Conservatives" by taking this moment to embrace Universal Medicaid under the same Right to Life moniker.

      Instead, we get this nauseating horseshit.

      If Dems REALLY wanted to Own the Conservatives, they could take these anti-abortion laws and apply them to immigrant detention camps. Demand the release of every pregnant woman. Denounce the prisons as Abortion Mills. Make a BFD about how Republicans are doing Hispanic Genocide.

      Hell, they could apply this to the entire US prison system.

      But they won't, because that would be more than just snarky performative useless crap.
