America is a terrifying church with guns. I pity the citizens.
Every country has the anti-abortion cancer movement and it wouldn't surprise me if the shit gets more serious here in Europe too with the rise of far right parties. As a matter of fact you have only to look at Poland.
We'll keep saying that can't happen here right up until it happens
Y’all better be careful
Ms Smith goes to Washington?
Women's reproductive rights are strongly supported in Canada, but that doesn't stop one of the main national parties playing coy with a commitment to not reopen the debate.
To be fair, it seems most Americans support women's reproductive rights as well, with a referendum in Kansas passing with 59%.
It's gerrymandering and the Supreme Court that are changing things down there.
This isn't purely anti-abortion pearl clutching in this instance. Where this occurred it is perfectly legal to have an abortion into the 20th week of pregnancy.
Fetuses are viable outside the womb at 24 weeks.
They killed the fetus with meds at 28 weeks, the pregnant 17 year old still went through labor (with no medical supervision due to how they chose to do this), they burned he remains, and then buried them on a farm.
That's really isn't the point. The point is that all Facebook Messages are government property.
Let's do this scenario at 2 weeks in a zero abortion policy state.
That's a massive oversimplification of things. Intentionally removing nuance doesn't help people.

I cannot feel any less hopeless for my country
"Less hopeful", maybe?
