5. Time to introduce offensive countermeasures in force...

OK...the courts are stacked, the SCOTUS is going to kill RvW and the states with mentally deficient, Republican majorities are going to ban reproductive health care rights for women...what needs to happen?

1) Women - stop having consensual sex with men, period. No exceptions. Time to hit the fucking poor excuses for men who use these laws to try and control women's lives, bodies and choices. There should be such an extreme drop in birth rate following this that it CANNOT be ignored. So, no more nookie-nookie at all.

2) Start filing 'child welfare bills' that demand prenatal care - 100% covered by the state - for ALL pregnancies, period. No women should EVER be told that we have the ability to protect you and the baby and obtain far greater survivability rates for pregnancy and then be told "but you can't pay for it, so you are sentenced to die in child birth" and then they must also admit "fuck that fetus...we only care about punishing the woman for having sex, not the actual life of the child, that fucker is on its own steam, especially if the mother dies in childbirth".

3) Demand that every state which bans abortion immediately opens an orphanage and child care system for unwanted babies - to serve their every need from birth until age 18. This is to include food, shelter, medicine, well-care visits, pre-K and elementary and high school education, clothing and supervision during the hours of 6 AM to 10 PM daily. Don't like that? Well maybe the state should not play a role in child birthing decisions then, huh?

This fight to maintain legal access to abortion is over, and RvW will fall to mark its demise - a 6-3, zealot packed SCOTUS makes that a guarantee. So its time to embrace the alternatives and make these arrogant, religious zealots PAY for their edicts. If society wants all births to result in live births, but WON'T support the born, then we must show them the results of their hateful policies. We must show them dying, malnourished babies. We must show then criminal acts by unsupervised kids - and not the sanitized versions either; when someone is shot by a 9 year old roaming around with a gun looking for power over their situation and poverty, then HDTV was made to show details - brains, blood, torn apart chest cavities, skulls ripped apart by bullets - no more blurred images, no more sanitized crime scenes with yellow tape and no actual images.

The idea that the government will effectively manage such a massive invasion into the private lives of American women - exactly how do they propose to monitor EVERY pregnancy in the first place? - is laughable on its face. These are the same people who are screaming about not taking vaccines because ... I don't know, crackpot reasons? - yet they also wish for unenforceable laws and forced dangerous, back alley procedures for women.

I am pro-life...pro-life of the existing woman, an actual citizen and not so concerned about the fate of replicating clumps of cells in her body. The choice to carry a baby - at risk or not - belongs to the woman who's body would be a 9 month land lord with no rent, tons of damage and a constant threat to their own life throughout the experience.

Want to see anti-abortion laws collapse under their own stupidity? Start passing laws that PAY WOMEN for pregnancies, health care for the duration - before, during and after birth for mother and child. The fervor for these asinine laws will cool in direct proportion to the amount of money they will cost.

Pro-Life? Fucking PROVE IT...I am a justified skeptic of their true motives.
