Don't forget that men should never ever have a say in "reproductive" rights.

Well, except for those nine old white men back in 1973. They were OK. but no one else is allowed again.

States had banned it (after it was allowed since common law times) then SCOTUS decided it falls under the right to privacy and the right to bodily autonomy and it cannot be outright banned.

Plenty of states, like mine, have since left abortion alone and only regulate it in some circumstances - like mine, where the only regulations are to ensure it happens in certain medical facilities to ensure the safety of women. My state has imposed no trimester limit, waiting period, forced ultrasound, or parental consent laws. The Supreme Court said no outright bans or regulations too burdensome were allowed, and states ran with it in their own ways. Many more restrictive than others. Now they’re going against settled law trying to ban it outright again. The governments in red states are getting far too involved for their own self-righteous purposes, wanting to control women and punish them, likely based on their own religious morals which should be imposed on no one else.

When you have a legislator saying that ectopic pregnancies can be implanted into the uterus and that it won’t be abortion under the law, you have a serious problem with legislators enacting laws on medical procedures and processes they clearly know nothing about. They will kill women.

He needs to be raked over the coals with this 24/7. His wife should be at the front of the line to do so.

Their say in reproductive rights freed women. Anyone giving more freedom and rights is fine. It’s those who want to be controlling and take rights and autonomy away who are the problem.

SCOTUS didn’t have a “say” in reproductive rights except to say that it’s not the state’s business what women do, at least up to a certain point in pregnancy. It protected women from too much government intrusion into their own bodies. States have since tried to chip away at that freedom. They are the problem.

What's sad (and funny at the same time) is this is a procedure that *does not exist*. Ectopic pregnancies cannot be removed and then implanted in the uterus. It's a medical emergency and has to be removed.

The sad part is the very men who are making these laws have *no clue* how the reproductive system works, what happens, when it happens. They are literally imagining scenarios and putting those into laws. These guys flunk basic sex ed.

Those nine men basically said that reproductive rights are a private matter between a woman and her doctor.

So then why do presidents start chants at campaign rallies? This isn't anything new but just magnified since Trump ran. I mean Trump has done a lot of these whether it is build that wall, jobs not mobs and lock her up.
