Abortion Bans are Virtue Signaling to God
Why “prolifers” vote for the least effective abortion laws
As horror stories about pregnant people with problem pregnancies continue to stack up in the media, it’s hard to not resent the fact that this country could have significantly lowered abortion numbers without violating pregnant people’s Constitutional, and human, rights.
Instead, forced-birthers went the Old Testament route, choosing punishment over compassion. The irony, of course, is that they’re not just punishing “sinners” with these bans — they’re punishing the very Americans they claim to love — married, heterosexual couples just trying to have families.
Now, a woman in Texas has filed an emergency lawsuit to end her unviable pregnancy that’s threatening her future ability to get pregnant. This is where we are. A woman having to sue her own state for basic rights to her own body.
Meanwhile, one year post-Roe, abortion numbers actually went up slightly nationwide, the infant death rate rose for the first time in 20 years, the birth rate increased by about 32,000, and thankfully, the maternal death rate didn’t increase in 2022.
To summarize, one year post-Roe, this country terrorized a few hundred (or thousand?) families unable to abort their fatally deformed pregnancies…
