Awful yet predictable consequences of anti-abortion legislation omnibus thread

Sorry. I got this confused with another one that came out recently. Thanks for the correction.

I don’t think anyone’s posted about the second Georgia case where a preventable death resulted from the Georgia abortion law:

Not sure if this is the best thread for this but seems good enough.

I really like this message:

All women should send this to those in their life who support Trump (everyone really).

Holy smokes.

I think it would be great if all men were to share this with their friends who support trump.

Wow that’s a powerful ad.

Wow. I’m in tears.

Another abortion-related maternal death, this time in Texas:

Sickening.

IT IS A MORTAL SIN TO FACILITATE THE ACCESSION TO ELECTIVE OFFICE OF ANY REPUBLICAN!

You are aware there are pro-choice Republicans right?

I’ll cop to not being that aware. And they’re probably hiding pretty effectively, or they’d get primaried in a [fetal*] heartbeat. Any that exist in public office should just go independent and caucus with the Democrats. Factionis Republicanis delendo est, as Cicero would put it.

ETA: *Did you see what I did there?

Honest ones? I’ve seen the Republican platform.

So neither of you has heard of Phil Scott?

Just looked him up. He can’t even endorse Harris.

Sure have. Pro choice, pro equal eights, anti–Trump…and probably the only reason he runs as a Republican is because a Democrat can’t win there. He supports the Republican platform about as much as I do.

Now I know you’re joking
You might want to look up their two US Senators
You might want to look up the party of their lone US Representative
You might want to look up the percentage of members of their General Assembly that are Democrats
Of the five top officers of the state, you might want to look up the party of the other four.

OR
You could just admit the above statement is incorrect.

This seems the best place to put this …

Earlier today, with CNN on the the background, I heard an interview with Brittany Snow, who, it seems, was in a short film made in 2023.

The film is called Red, White and Blue, and it is a short, as it checks in at 22:37. Basically, the subject is abortion, and travelling from a state where it is illegal to a state where it is legal. I’m reluctant to say more, as to do so would lessen the impact (described by one reviewer as “a punch to the gut”).

Anyway, Snow made the point that the film was available for free on YouTube, though I wasn’t able to catch whether there was a time limit on that. At any rate, I had a look at it, and I’d suggest that when it comes to the abortion debate, the film is well worth watching. Here you go:

Oh, yes, I saw it last year. It was indeed very good!

Just watched it. Wow.

Very powerful.

Wow indeed.
