That's what the Republicans support. As much as we laugh at them, it's not a game. Republicans enacting their policies on abortion will lead the death of women by coathanger. It's a sobering image. That's what the Democrats are up against.

was orphaned when she was 12, because her mother had a back alley abortion. This post should be seen by every person in the US to remind us of where the repugs want to take us back to.

your mother, like mine, almost died undergoing an illegal abortion before Roe v Wade, this imagery is more than painful. Call it PTSD, for a 3 yo of a single mom, who stayed with strangers, listening to them talk about what would happen to her if her mother died in the hospital after the event.

I thought it was a dragonfly and couldn't understand the relevance.

I don't think abortion would be the best way to link to republican women anyway. Most of the ones I know who can't stand Trump mostly despise him for being an uninformed idiot and an asshole. They don't like Hillary, but don't want Trump anywhere near any nuclear phones or buttons. If anything, once abortion is brought up, they argue against it.

Many feel his recent law that women would have to have funerary services for a fetus is beyond bizarro. His law also does not allow an abortion for severe fetal abnormalities. Luckily, a sane judge stopped the law.

And, I hit the wrong damn option and automatically hit done, done. Before I realized what I'd done. it clearly, it clearly is what I see on my iPad, and I picked the wrong clearly. Hopefully, the other jurors chose the right "clearly".

Sorry, Kpete!!

and it's important that people see it and get its message, especially young people who don't remember the bad old days when coathanger abortions were common.
