Alabama Senator: Women Of Childbearing Age Need To Prove They're Not Pregnant To Buy Medical Marijua

Alabama State Sen. Larry Stutts (R) introduced a bill this week that would require women “of childbearing age” to present proof that they’re not pregnant in order to purchase medical cannabis products.
Warning To Females: The Following May Cause Your Blood To Boil

If passed, the bill would amend Alabama's 2021 medical marijuana law by requiring dispensaries to ask women between the ages of 25 and 50 to provide “a negative pregnancy test either from her physician or documentation from a certified medical lab that has been ordered by a physician licensed in Alabama.”

Marijuana Moment, which first reported this story, noted that documentation must be dated within 48 hours of purchase before a woman can buy medical cannabis and that women who are breastfeeding would also be barred from buying medical cannabis products.

“Any registered qualified patient who becomes pregnant shall report her pregnancy status to her registered certifying physician and shall be prohibited from obtaining medical cannabis throughout the pregnancy,” the legislation says.

This was in 2019 when republican Alabama state senators passed a restrictive abortion bill, not even allowing for rape or incest. I'm posting to show the hypocricy of these "sanctity of life" assholes. They have no genuine concern about how marijuana affects an embryo/fetus, it's all about controlling women.

I just wanted to use the article and your post in a different thread I have been writing on social media about the GOP using any excuse they can to control groups while also claiming ti be the party that doesn’t get involved in peoples lives.

you're not listening.

These men really believe they OWN ALL THE WOMEN!

Our rights are being whittled away, because some people "don't really love the dem candidate enough to go to the polls."

…to track who is pregnant and who is not. This won’t be the last and the end result is mandatory, on-the-spot testing before crossing state lines or just a man’s suspicion cause you are young and not being accompanied by a man.

As long as a woman has a heartbeat, she gets to control all decisions about her body and everybody else can just fuck right off.
