Hartmann - The GOP Will Not Stop At Abortion. Contraception Will Be Criminalized In The End.

[TheMastersNemesis]

With the notion of "personhood" and "Human life At Fertilization" and Trump court will eventually jail women and couples for using what are not common forms of birth control. Some churches even suggest the NO method of birth control is allowed. Sperm and egg MUST be allowed to unite. The "Handmaid" scenario is at our door step. Miscarriages will be investigation with suspicion. If you think that such a situation cannot happen all you have to do is look at the laws in he post Civil War era.

These radical churches even want covenant marriage, no divorce laws and previous adultery laws to be part of the legal landscape. They support the idea of sexual policing just like the Taliban or ISIS. Hyperbolic you say. Perhaps it is. But if you look at the rhetoric, recent GOP laws sponsored or passed, and the power of religion to warp science and consciousness you would be remiss to ignore what is going on even right now. Trump has made his goal clear. He would welcome a unanimous SCOTUS on these issues.

We are in the eleventh hour. Trump has promised the religious right everything.

1. They're using this and other tactics

To use to criminalize women, minorities , and any opposition, just like putin does. Hmmmmmmmm.

[Dave Starsky]

2. We have already gone so far down the rabbit hole...

As to what is considered "acceptable" in this country, that I have no doubt that it will continue to descend to the very depths beyond imagining.

Stephen King has said he couldn't have conceived of a character as awful as Trump. When the most successful horror novelist of all time says something like that, you know it's for real.

Thom Hartmann is right. When Donald Trump gets his Supreme Court pick ratified, he basically can do whatever he wants, which coincides with what his paymasters want. And his paymasters aren't into reproductive choice for everyone, because the paymasters can always "take care of it".

3. IMO

This is why the R party is so in love with Russia, the Christo-Facists love Putin and Russia.

[Boomerproud]

4. It is up to us to stop them at the ballot box.

I have no other solution since they control the media.

[EricJohnson]

13. I believe they control the ballot boxes also. We need free and fair elections

before we can do anything.

[kimbutgar]

5. Can you imagine the protests that will break out when he tries to start a hand maidens tale reality

And outlaw birth control. The protests will be epic. Even rethug women use birth control.

[FiveGoodMen]

9. "Even rethug women use birth control"

They get abortions, too.

That doesn't stop them from voting to abolish them.

You're projecting reason, logic, and fairness onto a bunch who are incapable of -- and uninterested in -- those things.

[TheMastersNemesis]

6. Voters Seldom Aware Of Long Term Agendas. Very Myopic.

[3catwoman3]

7. I do not understand objections to birth control.

Unless they are the Duggars, most people don't want 19 children, nor do they want to be celibate.

Everybody needs to mind their own damn business.

LOL at myself - when I first typed "Duggars," I hit the "F" onstead of the "D" so it showed up "Fuggars." I thought about leaving it.

8. They wrongly categorize the pill, the morning after pill and the iud as abortifacients

[FiveGoodMen]

10. Blame a bunch of SOB's who claim to speak for god each week.

[appalachiablue]

11. Birth control contraception will include IUDs, pills,

shots & any barriers to 'birth' and criminalization of those who are considered to violate rules, as we are seeing with women, immigrants, minorities, LGBT, liberals and other targeted groups.

No abortion or birth control and criminalization also means more funds $$$ for police, LE, jails and private for profit prisons. And fewer voters because people are incarcerated or have a criminal record. Possibly jury duty, I'm not sure.

It's all part of the extreme rightward plan of authoritarian regression and oligarchy.

The far right church belief in marriage with the man at the head of the family, and women in the traditional subservient and dependent role is standard.

[demigoddess]

12. i remember back in the 70's a married woman with children went to her

doctor for sterilization. He said yes, but only did one side. He thought if she got pregnant she would like it. she would be glad someone had changed her mind for her. Some man made her decision for her.

[redstateblues]

14. Trump is on record saying that women who get abortions must be

punished.

[Duppers]

15. My elderly, RW southern baptist mother

Has always thought the pill was immoral! "It encourages sex outside of marriage."

Now, both her 30-something grandsons live with their g.f.s! No ones gives a rat's if she disapproves.
