Republicans want national pregnancy registry [View all]

Alabama Senator Katie Britt, best known for delivering a bizarre, melodramatic televised response to President Biden's 2024 State of the Union address, has introduced a bill to create a federal website to collect data on pregnant people.


I'll be honest, read this and it kind of made my stomach sink. This is about as dystopian a development in a world that just seems to be getting worse. Feels like things are getting worse.I am genuinely afraid my niece and all women, will grow up in a world in which she has no rights and I feel powerless to stop it. Voting is NOT going to make these people just go away. If only it were that simple. It's not that simple. They are not going to stop until they have a totalitarian theocracy. I truly believe that and all the evidence supports that belief.
