Surely those who carry out the death penalty are murderers and should be executed?

I hope this article is right and that it is unlikely to pass.
But the fact it has even been introduced is so scary.

Unfortunately, in a society with a loud and significant number of angry, performatively religiose hypocrites having positions of public responsibility, these sorts of bills are inevitable. People with similarly unpleasant, domineering mindsets vote the buggers in.

They rail against the Taliban and other brown people, cheered on by tinfoil hatters, blithely unaware that apart from their views on Budweiser and pork, you couldn't get a Rizla paper between them.

Would expect something like this from the Taliban not in a developed western nation.

Pregnant woman. This is about women.

Have a miscarriage, get executed.

All very Henry VIII. Who says Americans don't know any history ?

Indeed. If men don't want women having abortions, they can keep their dicks in their trousers.

Women in the US should simply refuse to have sex until this Bill is voted down. I know easier said than done but it might send a message.

Exactly - and no doubt tub thumb about Catholics, and how they dont have the right morals as well.

Sometimes I feel as a British person, we should apologise for sending all those Protestant fanatics to America. Not just for taking over the land, but imposing their religious mania of a country that is meant to be diverse as part of its founding principles (or something).

But sad to note there are some women who are eager to support them.

Is life sacred or not?

We didn't send them. They fucked off from England as it was too tolerant for their liking.

Well it's hard to tell isn't it? Apparently it's sacred when it comes to foetuses but not when it comes to women.

It is a sobering thought. Especially as it is 100% obvious that women of colour are most likely to die for this.

Black women in 1824 were forced to carry the children of their owner. Progress has brought us to all women forcibly carrying babies. Yey for progress?!

Could you provide evidence that the USA is a developed western nation?

Yeah you got me there 😁.

Well I would be hiding my pregnancy for as long as possible for fear of a miscarriage causing suspicion. Once again women’s rights and health are in the toilet.

I came on to say the same thing. Imagine miscarrying and some misogynistic psycho using this as an excuse to accuse you of abortion. It will happen.

I can hardly put my thoughts into words as I'm so angry at the hatred and hypocrisy and stupidity. But basically this.

Astonishingly awful. They just hate women so much.

Women and children don't always have a choice about pregnancy. Basically if you're female and fertile you're at risk of the death penalty or forced to have a child.

Why do we not have a "hate" react.

There is so much going on that is hateful of women.

Surely it will never pass but equally important what kind of mindset comes up with this very disturbing to say the least.

It gets more like Margaret Atwood by the day.

I read a book a couple of years ago which scarily now seems like a prediction of the future. It's called Unborn by Rachel McLean.

What the actual fuck? So basically the USA hates women. If I lived in America I'd absolutely refuse to have sex, ever.

It’s like we’re living in a parallel universe and we’re level headed and sensible and they are beyond bonkers…

It’s a fucked up way of thinking that’s for certain. Mind blowing 🤯 that this is happening in 2024/25. Backwards.

Religion has a lot to answer for though
