5. Men like Hawley, Lee, and Cruz should have a say when they can get pregnant.

They just need to shut up and stop abusing women’s rights for political points. If the Supreme Court overturns Roe, they’re saying that women have no right to make their own medical decisions and the religious right gets to make those decisions for them. The objection to abortion is a religious issue, and establishing a religious belief is too close to establishing the beliefs of one religion over others and replacing the secular law required in the Constitution. I really, really hate these hypocritical Republicans who want to save fetal cells while letting women and children, and indeed many poor people, die because they have no access to healthcare.
