We do not need those two to try to teach us anything. They are both ignorant about life and how it works. All we need them to do at this time is step down and let us find a way to get out of this mess that they have decided to throw us into.

It takes them 1 minute to create life, but it takes a lifetime to support and guide that life to succeed. Abandoning after conception is not it. They must begin with educating sperm donors aka fathers. A woman would be imprisoned for abandoning a child, but why is it different for a man? It is done daily, which leads to suffrage for mother and child.

I would expect them to rewrite anatomy, physiology and biology about a woman’s body and reproductive health to fit their agenda.

They are sick, disturbed sociopaths, both absentee fathers, one of whom led a serial adulterous life for forty plus years! The other (sick!) with 14 test-tube babies he probably barely knows! My God, this ISN’T “Father Knows Best”!

Haven’t heard them talk of wanting to BE the fathers of all those offspring. Egotistical numbers game.

Republicans will track menstrual cycles - don’t notate your period in your phone or anything connected to the internet. Paper calendars only. Tell your daughters, your friends. Nationwide contraceptives ban is in the works - no more condoms, IUDs, The Pill, Plan B, Mifepristone, etc. No Fault divorce - gone - start proceedings now or be trapped forever. Every state will soon be Red. Project 2025. They told us.

Thanks Patti... also I can't wait until they try to ban inter-racial marriage! What will Justice Thomas do then. Can hardly wait for that!!! Just saying... GH

Clarence Uncle Thomas will vote to ban inter racial marriage because laws don’t apply to him.

I think he’s hoping for it. Why else would he mention being against it in a decision? No alimony or $ or property settlement if a marriage evaporates v. an expensive divorce. Isn’t he religiously opposed to divorce? Another reason for SCOTUS to rule for Clarence’s “absolution” from his own interracial marriage.

Iirc, interracial marriage was the only one of the “right to privacy” decisions he didn’t list as wanting to revisit in his Dobbs concurrence. It sticks in the mind as notable for its absence.

I know several men and women who have had procedures to ensure they won't procreate. They only did it because of trump and Project 2025.

Patti O. Furniture's avatar

Many females can’t get these procedures without a sign-off from a male partner or husband, especially in red states & at hospitals with religious affiliations in every state - even if the female’s life or health is in danger. Men control most executive wings of hospitals & medical facilities & they do what the lawyers & priests & Republican politicians tell them to do - prevent women from getting reproductive healthcare.

Tubal ligation is not available to most US women without a man to approve it & usually some very patriarchal questions to the woman about her losing her attractiveness to men because she would no longer be fertile (have value as livestock). This has been the way for decades - not new because of Trump. This is Republican & Catholic & Evangelical policy - women aren’t allowed to control their bodies because men know better. Men decide. Men are in control. Men are ordained by the false gods they invented to rule us. Men made all of this up & most have no clue how our bodies work. They don’t care. We’re cattle.

There is a list of doctors that will do procedures for women no questions asked. I won't pay a link, but it can be found on Reddit

What is the point in continuing to overpopulate the earth with human life. Yes, those who want to have children should, but at the same time, there should be no impetus to have children for couples who wish to remain without children.

If we take all 74M MAGAts, cram them into 40&8's, ship them off to the middle of the Mojave, 150mi from nowhere and a single bottle of water, we not only can repopulate the Republic with real humans, we can exponentially improve the gene pool.

So glad to see a comment about overpopulation! It’s not mentioned near enough, but if the numbers keep increasing, there won’t be a habitable planet to raise any children on.

Like those two know anything about the interworking of a woman’s body & what can happen! They have no idea & this is disgusting. All of their BS is to have what they consider a normal family. We are not having that 💩! The old white men are having a kitten because their majority is shrinking by the day! Good idea I think & I fully support more women being in Congress. All they want to believe is women are hysterical & can’t run Countries, well we see how that has worked out haven’t we. Their ego’s, Narcissism & having complete control of things are slipping through their fingers & now, they are the hysterical ones that can’t run a damn country. I will always support you, Katie Porter!!!! We are STRONG WOMEN, so stand back & observe!

If a baby boom is one solution for increasing the population, then why deport people who are willing to work, pay taxes, and contribute to our society now, but need a reliable path to citizenship, without fear of deportation, to do so?

This is awful, along with innumerable other attacks they're making on our lives and rights. It's past time for another impeachment...this time hopefully with republican support to oust trump. Please let there be a few of them that are still human. Gotta see if the Constitution allows for impeachment of an entire administration...
