    The Supreme Court is tyrannical and there is no way to remove them from power. (Peacefully)

    I can imagine the comments “…but it’s murder”. Doesn’t seem to bother you outside the womb though… Forced vasectomy for men until they’re like 25 it is then?

    I honestly cannot wrap my head around how people can think it is better to force a woman to give birth than to have an abortion. Having an abortion is not the same as killing someone!

    8:49 “Women have one third of the rights involved”
    And yet he wants to impart on the woman 100% of the responsibilities associated with the entire process, including medical expenses, the potential danger of complications associated with a pregnancy, rearing and basically raising a child they didn’t plan or maybe even want to birth. Most women who want abortions do so because they have no way to secure a safe and healthy life for a new human being in the making. Unlike these people want you to believe, having an abortion isn’t an easy way out. Unless you’re a psycho, it stays with you, forever, because it’s not a decision you take lightly.

    Regardless, the _child_ , at the time abortion is still allowed, is just a lump of tissue, it doesn’t have free will, it doesn’t have autonomy or the ability to live outside a woman’s body. It is NOT a person. And yet, it’s taking over the rights and the life and potentially the freedom of a fully grown human being who is self-aware and _does_ have autonomy. The lump’s rights overturn the woman’s rights… why, again?

    I think an option for pro-choice folks is to AVOID vacationing in the anti-abortion states. Do NOT buy products produced in those states. Make TikTok videos ridiculing anti-abortion lawmakers. Of course, the most sensible thing to do is study the issues & ACTUALLY VOTE

    Abortions bans aren’t about abortion since they don’t reduce abortions rates and the right doesn’t support any policies that actually accomplish that, it’s about controlling women and punishing them for being emancipated.

    The funny thing is that “the great replacement” and the anti-abortion crowd do have at least a narrow overlap. Do the people in both those camps not realize this is gonna mean way more back kids being born than white? Lmao xD

    SCOTUS is fully venally bribed , BOUGHT AND PAID FOR by the one percent. They are intent on dividing the nation to protect the 1 percents short term profits. SCOTUS has 0 merit or legal validity since the scurrilous stealing our Heritage Society began their shitty attack on our court system, to put these boofing liars on the SCOTUS.

    The very fact that five people (who were not elected by the people) can overrule a law that 2/3 of the country want to keep as is, is so ridiculously undemocratic that I sincerely doubt the term “land of the free” is applicable.

    You should have mentioned Poland which has draconian anti-abortion laws and it’s already costing women lives. Even though they have universal healthcare.

    Teaching the little boys that eve (thier mother) caused the downfall of man and all of the world’s problems. Men have been trained specifically to view and treat women the way they do.

    This reminds me of Michael Moore’s Where to Invade Next segment involving Tunisia. Amazingly abortion has been legal there since the 1970s. Women know when they can control their bodies they can achieve equal rights.
