I am always amazed any women are Republicans. Except maybe the moms for liberty crowd (aka klanned karenhood).
They need to keep Boebert’s legs closed and her shirt on
no, the trouble is she is now keeping her legs closed.
she was fine until she got it into her head to be a politician.
Meet New Jersey state Sen. Edward Durr, a truck driver-turned-politician who has a habit of saying the quiet parts out loud.
“A woman does have a choice! Keep her legs closed,” Durr wrote in a 2020 Facebook post, in which he also called a pro-choice woman an “idiot.” He also “liked” a post that called for “spaying women like dogs.”
Yeah that was wild to read. I can’t imagine hating anything as much as the average conservative hates women. I feel bad for any woman unfortunate enough to grow up with a father like that. It can’t be easy.
An Alabama woman was imprisoned for endangering her fetus. She gave birth in a jail shower
But over the next seven months of incarceration for “chemical endangerment” in the Etowah county detention center (ECDC), Caswell was denied regular access to prenatal visits, even as officials were aware her pregnancy was high-risk due to her hypertension and abnormal pap smears, according to a lawsuit filed on Friday against the county and the sheriff’s department. She was also denied her prescribed psychiatric medication and slept on a thin mat on the concrete floor of the detention center for her entire pregnancy.
In October, when her water broke and she pleaded to be taken to a hospital, her lawyer says, officials told her to “sleep it off” and “wait until Monday” to deliver – two days away.
During nearly 12 hours of labor, staff gave her only Tylenol for her pain, the suit says, allegedly telling her to “stop screaming”, to “deal with the pain” and that she was “not in full labor”. Caswell lost amniotic fluid and blood and was alone and standing up in a jail shower when she ultimately delivered her child, according to the complaint and her medical records. She nearly bled to death, her lawyers say.
So, jailed for endangering a fetus but not given prenatal care while in jail and forced to give birth in a jail shower when her labor signs were ignored - all of which actually endangers the fetus they are so concerned about. They don’t care about the fetus, they just hate women and want to punish them for having sex. It couldn’t be clearer.
The TLDR of the article near the end:
“Once a woman has sex, there’s really no limit to the pain that Republicans believe is her just deserts. Bleeding out from an untreated miscarriage, losing a job, delivering a baby to watch it die on the table, struggling to feed young children, being stuck in an abusive relationship: They understand perfectly well that these are among the likely outcomes of forced childbirth for women. But of course, making women suffer is, and always has been, the point. Ed Durr’s only mistake was saying so out loud.”
