Weird, per his beloved Constitution the federal government’s duty here is to ensure unmolested travel between and amongst the states.
Don’t worry, the supreme court will soon reinterpret it to mean something completely different.
Gotta love the Supreme Court nowadays… if you want to change the rules just cozy up to them and ask them to do it for you.
Let’s be clear on what that implies: it means all women travelling Interstate would have to prove at a state border that they’re not pregnant. Which means proving with what?
Some form of proof you have an IUD or contraceptive? They’re planning on banning that too.
Some kind of medical document, emitted less than x days ago by a doctor?
And since that would be insanely difficult to obtain, it essentially means women would be banned from interstate travel.
Welcome to Gilead, blessed be the fucking fruit.
If only the people who supported regressive, dumbass positions like JD Vance’s could be swayed by thinking about things for even a few fucking seconds.
It would be considered a feature, not a bug, if women could not travel without the permission of men.
Yeah, that’s true.
It’s just that based on prior arguments I’ve had, they’re just so agitated by thinking things through. even if you put aside the overt heinousness, they just wave away the collateral damage, dismissing them as trivial details as though the whole fucking point of policy is the effect those policies will have. It’s partly that they’re advocating for awful things, but also frustrating that they are too willfully ignorant to realize how bad their own arguments are.
Oh, but I thought they were going to leave it up to the states. This is such a surprise.
When a conservative says “states rights” they actually mean “localized tyranny” within any locality they control. That’s why they instantly apply the tyranny at a federal level whenever they are in control.
Female Trump supporters are gonna be in for a shock when they realize ‘bringing back the 50s’ doesn’t mean wearing cute aprons and letting pies cool on window sills but instead means they’re sitting in a police station for driving while female while cops are sorting out why they had a couple hundred bucks cash on hand
Just wait until they find out that women could not have bank accounts, and would not have their own credit cards, under 50s-style thinking.
And for people that would say, “oh, the Republicans would never do that”…LOL. I remember hearing crusty old parents of boomers bitching about “no fault divorce” and I didn’t think too many of the youngs GAF about that - until fairly recently - you see these incels talking about rolling it back, some of them born after 9/11 FFS. Also, the right is targeting birth control (again), just like the olden times. They are trying to force “the” bible back into our public schools.
These people are seriously brain-damaged dumbasses who are such Karens that they just cannot let anyone else live their goddamn lives in peace. They have distorted meanings of terms - they view their special privileges and the ability to rule over others as “freedom” and “liberty”. Don’t put anything past them - some of them will try to roll back 60+ years of progress…
My God USA is going to a a civil war over not returning women to Southern states isint it. History really likes to rhyme.
Great idea. At this point US may need it again but it’s just sad that it’s come to that.
