This is monstrous.
This is what happens when abortion is banned with very narrow exceptions.
Won’t be that last. We will probably need an omnibus “Awful yet predictable consequences of anti-abortion legislation.” thread.
Oh the stupid fucking irony!

We keep having all of these problems. Maybe allowing states to criminalize abortion wasn’t such a good idea after all.
Florida is screwed up too. A young lady of 16 was not allowed to have an abortion, even with her guardians consent. So her life is ruined.
They said she was not mature enough to make that decision. But of course she is mature enough to be a mom.
Grrr beat me to this above.
Exactly this!!
And what is more, now that finishing even a rudimentary education is in question, we Republicans insist that you raise this child, that we demanded that you deliver, without running up expenses within social safety nets which we also oppose like food stamps or state healthcare.
Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps and work several low paying jobs just to live and be an ideal mother at the same time. If you cannot juggle fifteen flaming daggers – then you should have never had sex and gotten pregnant!!
Again…It’s not about what is best for a mother or a child. It’s about punishing women and girls for violating religious “morals”. It’s the American Taliban.
Exactly.
I just sent the two links in this thread to a family that used to be my closest friends. They are exactly the “Christian” version of controlling women’s bodies. Given free reign – they will have women wearing face coverings and force them to be escorted by male family members before 2030.
I even had to mention that I hate to be as judgmental and condescending as they are, but that their devotion to this policy leaves me no other option.
(That is why they call me Mr. tact!)
So ordered.
She’s not mature enough to have an abortion but is mature enough to have a child? Logic just died.
Free REIN, dammit!

Oh no. Oh no no no…
(weeps)
You have chosen… poorly.
Florida. Where logic is stillborn.
This is craziness!
This is life behind the confederate curtain.
Once again, Republican legislators have lost their heads.
Looks like they’re growing the next batch.
Then I would advise you to not look up “harlequin baby.”
