Who are unable to care for you. Are these states building and funding orphanages? I doubt it.

But they never refuse to take whatever money they can get from the most hated government of all time. I never heard of so many law enforcement, military, SS, "Christians" hating their government so much. It's terrifying.

does it make a noise?

Of course it does. The impacts of criminalizing abortion will be directly recorded by government statistics. More women will die in child birth once these laws take effect. That's why some states will try and bury or delay the release of these statistics because it will be so obvious. That is, if the M$M even bothers to report on it.

who have been convinced by their religious leaders that it is their duty to die by God’s will, and that they are heroes for doing so.
And yes, I’ve seen this attitude. Reminds me of suicide bomber mentality.

Yes, lots of ppl have replied saying it’s not so easy to pick up and move. And, no it isn’t. Thing is the situation is going to be ten fold worse if you find yourself pregnant and in need of a life saving abortion…please consider it.

15. Had a conversation with three R women about a month ago and brought up abortion...

They all agreed that some women find an abortion necessary, but they didn't believe statistics about abortion numbers -- they doubted it occurred as often as people think. They said that the women who did get abortions were a) careless because birth control is so available, and b) some "trampy" women use abortions as birth control. These women aren't avid churchgoers, either.

All three felt that the media (except for Fox) was left-leaning and abortion stories -- like the 10 yo incest victim who had to travel to get an abortion -- were not believable. One woman said to me, "I only believe what I see with my own eyes."

After I left our discussion I wondered how many R women, since the Dobbs decision, have suddenly found the need for abortion in their own families -- only to find it's not easily accomplished anymore. Are they now seeing it with their own eyes? Apparently, that's a requirement for Repugs. Facts have to smack them in the face to be believed.
