"SNIP......

Mississippi lawmakers said the ban on most abortions after 15 weeks would make Mississippi 'the safest state in the country' for the unborn. 

* The Supreme Court will hear a challenge to Mississippi's abortion law on Dec. 1.

* Advocates say Mississippi, the poorest state in the country, offers little support for children 'once they're here.'

After all if they were honest and cared about children they would not try to defund schools and they would fully support medical care for children.

realized that the majority of 'bortions were by being done on white women and that would never do. It was also an easy issue to get the Buybull humpers to get all worked up about and on board with their racist agenda.

… although it is less likely to happen to those with the means to access reliable contraception.

The women I interviewed for a paper I wrote on abortion 20+ years ago were all highly-educated, white, and afaict liberal.

Want women to take care of them, clean up everything to be his mommy and his fucktoy.


All while the woman is forced to be dependant on toxic men and give birth to male babies that will become daddy's favored mini me's
Raised to be just like these toxic men.


The woman must do what the king of the castle wants or else.

Anti abortion assholes want women out of the workforce,demoralized,
dependant,accepting of domestic slavery and obedient to men.

Forced birth keeps a woman bound to a man she hates to survive and raise the child. These toxic men also want to abuse women and be a household tyrant
and get away with it too.

The bible justifies it.

And this is the culture these toxic men want to preserve thinking they are entitled to rule over women.
