Notice how they scratch out "implantation" because that's usually for rich, white people.

Guys, condom or two on you at all times.
Just in case . . .
Girls, the morning after pill in your purse.
Just in case . . .

If you don't tell, who is to know?
It's a very private and personal thing after all.

SCOTUS and state laws need not affect you.

They can't declare the fetus a person just for the purposes of making abortion a homicide without all of the other ramifications that would come with personhood. These people are just racing to the bottom without thinking through the downstream impacts.

But I was thinking that now would be a good time to pass a comprehensive maternity leave act. Every women gets 100% pay for 1 year after having a child.

And individual “statehood” as well. If we can eliminate the states and just have one cohesive country, we can get rid of all the issues. No more fly over states dictating Dictators via electoral college - a straight majority popular election would emerge. Red states with no gun laws would be subject to more progressive national blue standards eliminating their imposed terrorism over blue states (thinking how much safe Illinois and chicago would be without Indianastan providing a pipeline of guns). Efforts should be made to seriously change the ridiculous and unsustainable 50 states model to a more progressive block federal model.
