If your state gets a Republican governor get ready for pregnancy ankle bracelet and fetal monitor.

Woah. Trump tells @TIME he would “let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans.”

This is the future we’re looking at if he’s elected in November.

1. Next republican step in controlling woman ?

2. Why not vaginal rings?

So they know when woman have illegal orgasms?

3. This whole distasteful situation is a great

example of how afraid of women weak men are.

[CrispyQ]

5. And how afraid of our power the patriarchy is.

This is one good thing to come from the internet & social media, anyway. There are others, too, but I love that new ways of looking at the current power structure is so much easier to communicate & spread to others. Like the bear in the woods conversation & how it's only been 50 years since financial institutions were required to give women credit on their own if they qualified.

4. How about chastity belts with screething alarms to prevent non-key holders from breaking in?

6. Buy pregnancy tests with cash only. Preferably stock up before any of this happens.

Don't report pregnancy to anyone. If necessary, use an underground lay midwife (many of them are very knowledgeable and skilled).

If a pregnancy police state emerges, women will have to adapt in order not to take part, even though it would make pregnancy and childbirth much more risky.

7. I predicted this when Roe was overturned

That very same day I observed that states would begin restricting women’s travel, and I was roundly mocked for such nonsense because there no provision for that in the constitution.

And now here we are.

8. Handmaid ear tags

9. So if pregnant women may be jailed

does the state pay for medical treatments if they don't have an abotrtion?
Or good, healthful food and medical until delivery?
And physician visits and medical if necessary for ANY other condition since they can't get out?

10. How the hell are they going to know?

There are home pregnancy tests now, no woman needs a doctor to tell her she's pregnant.

The only women they'll want to tie down are the ones in the second or third trimester with life threatening conditions.

And that is appalling.

If they wnnted to murder me with Christian patriarchy, no ankle bracelet would stop me. I would be out of that state forever.

I've done it for less.

11. You'll need to find a non-xian-patriarchy country soon

If trump or the xian zealots take over the US entirely.

Not sure I'd trust any Muslim or Abrahamic country, and especially not the USSR, Iran, ...

Availability is shrinking. Who woulda thunk in this most modern 21st century?

[Warpy]

16. As a purely practical matter, I won't have to do anything of the sort

I'm old and I don't mind spending the rest of my life being a burr in their undies.

14. Pregnancy kits sold by prescription only or must show ID.

That is an easy one for the GOP.

[CaptainTruth]

12. Women can use Stand Your Ground laws if their life is threatened, right?

Right?

[Irish_Dem]

15. It will be against the law for women to threaten the male patriarchy orders.

Like in some countries women are raped and killed if they don't wear a head scarf.

[CaptainTruth]

18. But some states have "Stand Your Ground" laws which say you can defend yourself using force, up to & including lethal...

... force if you believe someone is threatening your life.

How can women with life-threatening pregnancies NOT legitimately feel like their life is being threatened by Rethuglican legislators? How is that different from any other "Stand Your Ground" situation?

[Irish_Dem]

19. Because the laws protect the GOP male power structure.

And the laws are used to punish and control women and other groups deemed subhuman.

The idea that women and other groups have equal rights and equal protection under the law
is a now a quaint fantasy.

13. The "pro-life" party.

What a joke!!

17. Love to see a billboard with TSF saying

I WILL BUILD DETENTION CAMPS
......BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
..........JESUS WOULD DO

Or

I WILL STONE WOMEN TO DEATH
........BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
,,..........JESUS WOULD DO

With a bible passage that contradicts

20. Make it universal.

If wealthy white women, who can afford to travel to Europe, are restricted, this will go away quickly.
