Reminds me of that poem:
_First they came for abortion, and I did not speak out— Because I was not need an abortion.
Then they came for IVF, and I did not speak out— Because I did not need IVF.
Then they came for the Stork—and there was no one left to speak for him._
In all seriousness though, fuck this shit. This is purely religious driven bullshit. Separation of church and state.
Goes beyond religion at this point it is all about controlling women and turning them into birthing factorys.
I think it's just cruelty and some perverted sense of constructionism honestly.
If it were about forcing birth, they'd be in favor of forcing all forms of IVF to be legal. Probably in favor of deregulating it and removing any form of sane protections.
it is my understanding religious engagement is declining in the US, however it seems that religious laws are increasing. Why aren't people voting their conscience?
I think that's sort of the point. Sort of a two pronged approach...
On one hand....The US Oligarchs are running out of cheap labor. This is literally their solution. Force a ban on abortions and contraceptives and you'll see a spike of pregnancies, the unwanted children will hinder their unready families from better opportunities, and pretty much force them to work lower paid and hourly positions.
On the other hand, by forcing more US citizens to have kids, you'll have cheap labor, allowing you to ban "illegal immigrants".
Old white men block the ability of everyone else to have the right to self determination. News at 11.
Sorry I'm a little stupid, why are Republicans against IVF? Don't they want people to give birth?
Because there's all these fertilized eggs that don't become people. If you believe life begins at conception, then IVF kills a lot.
It's all unscientific nonsense, and requires you to ignore how many fertilized eggs don't become a viable fetus, but the anti-abortion stance has never been about science. It's about control.
Since in order to control women, they need to pretend that an embryo is a human being, they have to act like embryos are human beings in other contexts.
IVF results in more embryos than the ones that are implanted.
Yes but not that kind of birth
So this will be reintroduced the next time Democrats have the numbers to pass it, right?
