1. I was in a rage all last week & I don't think it's gonna be any better this week. -nt

[Diamond_Dog]

4. Me too CrispyQ

[Irish_Dem]

12. For some reason I am even madder this week.

Maybe the Clarence Thomas asinine comments are to blame. And the governors talking about banning birth control.

[Bayard]

2. Apparently their mothers didn't believe in contraception either

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. F**K these bastards to hell and back! THEY HAVE NO RIGHT. n/t

[underpants]

5. THEY ARE REPLACING US - isn't that the Nazi screed*

White Nationalist
White Supremacy
Whatever - they are all Nazis to me.

[niyad]

6. May all involved receive everything they deserve.

[Kablooie]

7. Big fans of unwanted children.

The more the merrier, I suppose.

[AleksS]

8. They 100% are. With the job market sitting the

way it is; with workers for the first time in a while being able to hold out for better pay and conditions, and unions starting to come back, they desperately want a larger pool of poor people to exploit.

Right now workers are gaining the market advantage, and they can’t bear it. Their solution is to flood the labor market.

[Kablooie]

10. Yeah. It won't be THEIR unwanted children..

So it’s fine.

So many republican policies only control other peoples choices, not their own.

[Initech]

9. They seriously want to take us back to the fucking stone ages, don't they?

[calimary]

24. Sure looks like it.

In that case, can we take their cars, their comfy modern homes, cell phones, stereo and other sound system. fancy private schools, latest fashions, high heels for their wives, cable TV, phones, consumer electronics, kitchen conveniences, indoor plumbing, Bactine for the kid’s scraped knee (and Bandaids too, while they’re at it), hospital care, medical specialists, freeways, mass transit, electric lights, supermarkets, air conditioning, central heating, fuse boxes, electrical power, electric lights, power tools, motorcycles, roller skates, indoor malls, refrigerators, freezers, stoves, ovens, garbage disposals - and how ‘bout garbage collection?

And antibiotics, antiseptics, sedatives, organ transplants, aspirin and Tylenol, whipped cream, that big box of umpteen hundred Crayons, school buses, ballpoint pens, pencils, toothbrushes, bubble bath, deodorant, mouthwash, and I could go on… and on… and on…

[Initech]

36. It's much easier to make a list of the things MAGAs do like, LOL.

Things they don’t like:

- “Big Tech” which includes Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
- Any major sports venues
- All colleges that have any actual classes in them
- All major theme parks
- All major tourist destinations
- All major fast food chains

They should just stay at home and eat Chik-Fil-A, shop at Wal-Mart and go to their mega churches, that’s about it.

[AllyCat]

11. So, this really is about forced birth.

What does contraceptive use have to do with abortion except that it decreases the need for it? Oh yeah, women use it.

[wnylib]

20. IUDs work by preventing fertilized eggs

from implanting in the uterine wall.

Some RWNJs claim that birth control pills do the same. And the spermicide used with diaphragms kills sperm.

[sop]

29. Male masturbation kills sperm, too. Make that a felony. Put all the incels in prison.

[wnylib]

31. OK with me.

[Captain Zero]

39. Lets chip all DICKS, so we know when they are being jerked

Red States will probably bring down the servers.

[calimary]

13. Figures. They're all men.

First thing I notice in these things.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Damn right, my dear calimary!

[Skittles]

35. REPUKE WHITE MEN

let's be specific

[Gaugamela]

15. These pigs see women, especially white women, as breeding sows.

They keep this up, the Republicans will go the way of the Ceaușescus.

Natalist policy[edit]
Further information: Decree 770 and Abortion in Romania
Under Nicolae Ceaușescu, both abortion and contraception were forbidden. Ceaușescu believed that population growth would lead to economic growth.[1] In October 1966, Decree 770 was enacted, which banned abortion except in cases in which the mother was over forty years of age or already had four children in care.[2] Birth rates especially rose during the years of 1967, 1968 and 1969.[3] By 1977, people were taxed for being childless.[1] Children born in these years are popularly known as decreței (from the diminutive of the Romanian language word "decret", meaning "decree". This increase in the number of births resulted in many children being abandoned in orphanages, which were also occupied by people with disabilities and mental illnesses. Together, these vulnerable groups were subjected to institutionalised neglect, physical and sexual abuse, and drug use to control behaviour.

The execution of the Ceaușescus was broadcast live on nationwide TV.

16. Next up...abolishing marital rape laws.

Then charging wives with a crime for not "submitting" to their husbands.

[calimary]

25. I bet that one's coming any day now.

[pressbox69]

17. Since Last Week

every day I wake up a little more angry. I haven't felt like this since November 2016.

[wnylib]

18. So, um, how do they enforce this?

If a woman gets an IUD in another state, or already has one, how will they know? Are they going to have mandatory X rays or sonograms for every girl and woman of childbearing age?

[demigoddess]

19. It is not like any one of these guys will ever get pregnant!!! And if their

girlfriends get pregnant they will just tell them to find another guy to marry them!!


as far as the forced pregnancy from incest---

[keithbvadu2]

38. forced pregnancy from incest - a blessing from God acc to repubs

[C Moon]

21. I was wondering when this would start.

Hopefully this will get liberal voters off the behinds and vote in the midterms.

[bucolic_frolic]

22. Those creeps look like they've had very little opportunity to use contraceptives. They're jealous!

And resentful! Oooh, what creeps!

[world wide wally]

23. They will do anything to stop people from having free sex.

They know ordinary citizens enjoy it.
If they can figure out a way to profit from consensual sex, it will become mandatory. With proof!

[tclambert]

26. But putting live children in cages is just fine.

Maybe they should just skip ahead to the part where they make it illegal to be a woman.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

27. K&R

[DENVERPOPS]

28. Go figure,

Such absolutely beautiful states, with such ugly, demonic politicians ruining the state politically and environmentally........

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

30. Does the governor of Mississippi routinely have sex with his relatives?

[BidenRocks]

32. Only one question.

Aren't we on the way to a eugenics ruled fascist government?

Sorry folks. I see a shooting civil war on the horizon!

33. Respond in kind with extreme gun control

executive orders banning and confiscation firearms.

[TomSlick]

34. At the risk of boring folks with legal analysis,

the decision in Roe v. Wade in 1973 is based upon the decision in Griswold v. Connecticut in 1965. In Griswold, which struck down a Connecticut statute which outlawed artificial contraception, the court found that while the US Constitution does not explicitly protect a general right to privacy, a right to privacy could nevertheless be found in the "penumbras" of the First, Third, Fourth, and Ninth Amendments. The decision in Roe depends upon the right to privacy from Griswold. If, as Alito reasons, there is no right of privacy in connection with abortion, logically there is no right to privacy in connection with contraception.

While the decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which established the right to same-sex marriage, is largely based on the right to marry from Loving v. Virginia (1967), it also cites Griswold (by my count, six times). If the right to privacy from Griswold has been abandoned, Obergefell is also in peril.

Legal precedent develops over time with the decision in one case leading to the result in another, which leads to the result in yet another. Once the Court abandons stare decisis, especially when considering a case decided nearly fifty years ago, there is no end to the possible threads that could be unknit.

37. This needs to be the headlines in every newspaper across the country

These threats to "bodily autonomy" and personal freedoms will have an effect on everyone...
