For those with the means it'll result in emigration.  The laws the Gilead states are passing are intended to target people outside of the state's normal jurisdiction.

Yeah it won't be long till fathers can go and file charges in a state that has illegal abortion if his partner has an abortion in a legal state.

Women were denied care while having miscarriages due in part to confusion among health providers

The people who passed these laws should be required to watch/read these accounts, not given a choice to skip.

Oh, there's still a choice.  The only difference is that we all can finally recognize that the only person who is truly able to make that choice is me, a white evangelical male who has been brainwashed since birth by my religious upbringing, from which I developed deep-rooted self-loathing and a need to control others (which I justify in the name of my religion). So really, when you think about it, if you don't follow my religious (or at least, claimed religious) dictates exactly as I demand, you're violating my freedom of religion. And that's terrible.

Many evangelicals say that women voting is the problem. I've even heard this separately live from 3 different women who do not know each other. While I was a military wife I was exposed to a lot of evangelicals and their thought process. They would rather see the things they want get done than even have a right to vote. It's disturbing pick me brainwashing shiat and it should be talked about more. These women are growing up in a culture that is so oppressive that to get any love from daddy or a man they clearly feel the need to oppress other women and themselves. It's sick. But that's the patriarchy hard at work, making women feel intimidated, either physically or emotionally in order to keep oppressing women.

For people below the poverty level, just think of what this means.  For such an important decision, the woman may decide to scrape together just enough money for the transportation and procedure, but would not be able to afford anything else.  No hotel stay, she'd sleep in her car.  Hardly any food - can't afford it.  She'll have to almost immediately return to work because she can't afford to miss too many hours.  She might even have to drive herself back home to whatever state she lives in.  And if she lives in the deep south, that's a long drive.

It's not just hardcore fundies. Most Christians believe their "good" book where it says women are not equal to men. The want women barefoot, making sandwiches in the kitchen, and always pregnant. That is what Christianity IS.

It was going on even back when women where fighting for the right to vote.  There where group of women who where fighting to keep women from vote as they saw it as a threat to way the structure of the family worked.

What bad is even after getting abortion win these people are going for more.  the next fight is going be over birth control.  and there are groups who think that women shouldn't even have control over any medical issues.  They say that should be up to their fathers/husbands.

We going see a slow steady fight from groups to strip women and others groups of their rights as time goes on.

What it really means is that every woman is seriously rethinking farking.

In a lot of the forums I participate in, what I hear from women of every age is that the men in their lives are under intense scrutiny. We are not farking you if you don't have your mental shiat together. We're not even talking to you if you don't learn the shiat you should not say to women EVER. Not going to tell you what those things are. Go "do your own research."

Trump, MAGA, QAnon, white surpremacist idiots? You can pick up your incel welcome packet over on the left.

Unevolved men who don't understand equity in emotional and physical labor in relationships? Here are your bags on the porch and your divorce papers are in the mail. If you're cohabitating, you can pick up your boxes on the porch, the locks have been changed, good luck.

Still single? Want a woman. She wants to wait for sex? Tough shiat. She doesn't trust you with Her Entire farking Future enough to have sex with you. Get over it.

And against all odds,if he is kind enough to shag you in the current climate, use condoms. Do not ask for raw sex. Even if she is verifiably using birth control. Learn to farking cum with a condom on.

Because again, we're not risking our Entire farking Lives and Future for some guy who can't be bothered to understand what we're facing.

AND it's been that way for a long time.  It's worse now, obviously, but prior to Alitoing Roe v Wade, many states had a single provider.

We lost this fight a long time ago, and we lost it incrementally under the guise of liberal compromise and triangulation.


"Safe rare and legal" was a white flag signaling our surrender to extremists.

For now.  Unmarried women will always have that right.  But it wasn't till the late 70 and in till the 90's before states started making it a crime to force your spouse to have sex if they didn't want to have it at that time.  Before then it was consider that when you said I do you gave consent for sex at the drop of a hat.  And there are groups that after ROE vs WADE got over turned are hopping to get those laws over turned.
