Why is someone's abortion any one else's business?

[dlk]

American women are seriously infantilized, as if they are still chattel.

[Solly Mack]

1. It isn't.

But some assholes think they have the right to control women and because of that they think they need to know.

[dlk]

6. Republicans are obsessed with bathrooms and bedrooms

Perverts all.

[tirebiter]

2. In Trumpland they definitely are a fantasy.

[agingdem]

3. overt misogyny is very big in the GOP...

it's not that the men just want to keep their wives/girlfriends barefoot and pregnant, they want them quiet and obedient..and when a woman is with child every 18 months then they're too damn tired to talk or express and opinion...

[dlk]

7. Keep women pregnant, poor and grateful ...

[leftstreet]

4. It's not

Sadly we have lawmakers and judges old enough to remember when birth control was illegal, a married woman couldn't have a credit card in her own name, and cops never took a male abuser to jail. They grew up believing women were a problem to be controlled, and until they're gone...

[dlk]

9. Relics longing for the "good old days" ...

They can’t handle treating like adults.

[unblock]

5. Not "as if". If their continued abortion is coerced,

if they are put into service of another contrary to their will, if there are things they must do and things they cannot do that they have no say in, if their situation cannot be transferred or assigned to another, then legally they are chattel.

Whatever the court says about the penumbra of privacy, anti-choice laws are a form of slavery or indentured servitude and a violation of the 13th amendment.

[dlk]

10. Unfortunately, the Zealots on the Supreme Court don't care

They are enforcing religious tyranny.

[unblock]

17. Yup. Slavery's in the Bible so there ya go.

[dlk]

18. Never mind the separation of church & state in the Constitution

We are experiencing the religious tyranny of a minority, exacerbated by opportunistic politicians; a nightmare designed to cruelly punish and kill women & girls. It’s horrifying!

[Arazi]

8. Because it will be a crime, and law enforcement will be involved

Many rights are nullified in that situation, even now. For example they can forcibly draw blood for a suspected DUI.

Abortion will be a crime and the intrusion will be very bad. Brace yourself

[dlk]

11. They are just getting warmed up, I'm afraid

This is just the beginning.

[kskiska]

12. Will divorce be declared illegal also?

[dlk]

13. Who knows with these religious zealots?

Apparently freedom of religion doesn’t include freedom from religion.

[hunter]

14. Women are the most dangerous creatures in the universe.

The Great Penis in the Sky would be very upset if Men lost dominion over them.

15. It's not, and the majority of Americans don't subscribe to such beliefs.

It's just a minority in the mid to low 20% who think they have a right to rule over others bodies. The rest have opinions but aren't rabid about them by majority.

Which is what makes this so very messed up. It's a minority rule and not democracy.

[dlk]

19. The tyranny of the few

n/t

[RANDYWILDMAN]

16. R's and conservative's have thought for years, women are theirs to control

and for years they have been wrong.

[dlk]

20. It's a resurrection of women as chattel

A cancer on humanity.

[dalton99a]

21. Republicans have a pathological interest in the younger female anatomy

[dlk]

22. Yes, we see their obsessions with everyone's bedrooms and bathrooms

And more young boys, too. A pathology to be sure.

[Arazi]

24. I will prioritize the "voice" of a grown woman over a parasitic zygote

I give the same amount of “voice” to my fingernails that frequently need cutting away whenever I decide they need a bit removed.

People get to decide what they want to do with their body. Nobody else

[mnhtnbb]

25. Give voice to as many kids as you want

but don't expect to tell other women what to do. It's none of your business.
