      She wasn’t a protestor, she vomited while recounting being forced to carry a miscarriage and nearly dying as a result. She was just one of 3 who had similar stories who testified. Texas republicans are moving to dismiss their concerns. Not really a “both sides” situation.

      On one hand, these “protestors” are mostly unhinged nutjobs.

      This is the dumbest thing I’ve read all week.

      The women in the court? Not sure who you’re referring to or maybe I’m missing some information here. I thought they were women who became pregnant, were denied abortions, went through some heinous shit, and are suing the state in protest of a law that most people already don’t agree with. Kind of missing the ‘nutjob’ part of your thoughts…

        I know, American politics is so littered partisan hacks that anything that doesn’t align with liberal or conservative propaganda seems odd.

      I guess I’ll side with

      …body autonomy, and against female slavery. That’s what you meant to say. Right?

        female slavery

        Exaggerations like this end up hurting your cause rather than helping it. It shows that you need hyperbole to make your points, which just delegitimizes them. If you just stated things as they are, more people would appreciate your honesty and would be willing to consider your arguments. Banning abortion is authoritarian, harms women, and the bans don’t actually reduce abortion rates per the research. That’s all you need to say to have most people support you.
