I'm not even sure how much voters actually care about the manufactroversy, let alone whether it has any salience to those who may be angered by a Roe repeal.

Except states are rushing to ban it at 6 weeks before women even know they are pregnant. Overturning Roe allows them to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To them women who get abortions are sluts who dare to have sex outside of marriage. Rape victims had it coming by wearing a skirt and black bra. Fuck the religious right. They are evil. All of them. They only care about "babies" as a tool to gain political power.

I know this is just a game to you but real people are going to get hurt. its a "game to me" but not to you? ok oblong. i think abortion is completely immoral and is killing a human being. it has nothing tondo with sex or rape or controlling women's bodies. the idea that everyone who thinks abortion should be illegal is some sort of religious nut job is a fanciful trope.

There is nothing hyperbolic about what I said. Texas executes more people than any other state in the country. They also have one of the strictest abortion laws in the country. Those are facts.
