Contrary to popular belief… you can do both.
You can fight to change the laws, you can sue the state/ feds when a law is unjust, and you can gain the knowledge that gives you more control over your own body.

No, they need hospitalization.
Are you under the impression that I am the one making that difficult for women today?
It just screams of an out-of-touch statement made by an American suburbanite from their cushy sofa.
Your googling skills are impressing us all… first you post how there is no data, then you post “ half of all women”…
I wonder… have you ever asked a medical professional why they hate google?

The AZ House Speaker, Republican Ben Toma, apparently doesn’t see the need for any sort of urgency here (the Court ruling was 47 whole pages!), but wants to be sure everyone knows how mean the Democrats are being
They have every opportunity to immediately repeal the 1864 law. They’re simply choosing not to.

I thought they were the party of "small government." Isn't that what Reagan, Bush and George W thought? The government that governs the best, governs the least? So much for that. I don't want to hear another word about Democrats and liberals wanting government to come in and overstep on everyone's lives.

You're quite nonchalant about it all. Just get some magic potions and break the law, no prob.Slimshandy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 10:59 pmThen you haven’t been reading what I’ve been saying, you’re going off of your own assumptions.Della wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 10:44 pmYou seem to agree with the law with your reaction.Slimshandy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 7:43 pm
