Insanity

[CentralMass]

1. These people are seriousely insane.

[wcmagumba]

2. We're in F ing Gilead...his eye be upon you...JHC...nt

[spanone]

3. Good Goddess Almighty

[FalloutShelter]

4. HOLY SHIT!

Every day this becomes more insane!

[Irish_Dem]

5. Jesus God Almighty they have gone bat shit crazy.

Seriously, they have gone crazy or completely over to the dark side.

[J_William_Ryan]

6. Such

is the Orwellian Christo-fascist right.

[Hortensis]

7. Franklin's a comedian. Not found. Yet anyway. My husband agrees

that nothing we hear about them these days can be dismissed as too dreadful or absurd to believe.

I suspect the "dogs" all who need to worry should be concerned about are going to be malicious relatives and members of social circles. "Family values" onward to the breach!

[Hekate]

12. He's a comedian? Thanks for that

I’ll delete my post in that case

[kcr]

13. It's too hard to tell these days

This is probably a joke but I could absolutely believe they'd do it.

[Nevilledog]

14. He's more than a comedian.

Plus, what would be fucking funny about this?

Yes, he's no Carlin, but first name that came to mind.

[Hortensis]

15. Political voices who use humor to reach people do tend to be.

[Hugin]

9. I say the female friendly states counter with...

Asshole sniffing dogs.

The difference being they would be used at the arrival gate….

What?

[TheFarseer]

10. So the hell what if they're pregnant?

You can’t travel if you’re pregnant? Or would they put an ankle bracelet on the woman and have a Swat team arrest them if they get 500 yards from Planned Parenthood?

[PortTack]

11. So...they can't stop them from leaving. Can't force her to submit to a pregnancy test

And doubt the dog sniff could be used in court

[Mariana]

16. Name the Mississippi legislators who are openly discussing this, please. nt.

[TheRealNorth]

17. Wait..... this isn't The Onion?

[Texasgal]

18. So pregnant women

are not allowed to travel?

Am I in bizzaro world???

[2naSalit]

19. Maybe we need to...

Send in the National Guard and rescue all the women! Jeez!

[Boomerproud]

20. Who is Chip Franklin?

Is there evidence, and if so, circulate far and wide.

[rownesheck]

21. I think the most shocking news here is

Mississippi has airports?!

[Murphyb849]

22. My dog knew within a week that I was pregnant and

Would live on my lap and get very protective. I did not need a PG test. And when I sadly had a baby pass in utero at 5 months he stopped sitting on my lap. I thought he hurt his leg or had some difficulty jumping up. No, he knew my baby had died before I did.

[orleans]

25. omg. such a sad story--i'm so sorry.

i never heard of such a thing as dogs being able to sense that.

i had three little dogs when i was pregnant--none of them gave a shit.

[DFW]

23. This sounded like a spoof from the start, if only barely

While some Republicans might actually support this, the fact is that even if the dogs COULD sniff out the hormone changes caused by pregnancy, they can’t sniff if a women is planning to carry her pregnancy to term or not.

[jalan48]

24. This is a lock down.

[Arazi]

26. Shades of slavers and their bloodhounds hunting humans

Be that as it may, iirc the pill is progesterone which mimics pregnancy.

That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen if they start harassing women who are on birth control

[Demovictory9]

27. and then what?

[GoodRaisin]

28. Corporations who are truly against these kinds of wretched laws need to start pulling

any new business investments from the states that are enacting them. There is nothing in the constitution that says businesses have to keep contributing revenues to states that are withdrawing personal freedom and liberty from their citizens.
