  1. Pay attention women and young girls. These are the people telling you what you can and can't do with your own GD body!!!!

  2. Abortion is every woman's choice across the majority of the world.

    Republicans are like Taliban men dictating what subjugated women should do. Land of freedom?

    The US constitution has been amended 27 times and is the reason they are called amendments.

    "Keep the government out of our lady bits." N.Duz

  3. In a perfect world every child conceived would have a bright future, born to parents who are ready, willing and able to care for them, born into a society where basic needs will of course be met. The reality is, this isn't a perfect world, too many Americans are living in abject poverty, our economy is no longer designed for workers, a living wage and medical benefits are no longer a thing for full time workers. On one side of their mouths so called conservatives are pushing this pro-birth agenda and out the other side cutting, blocking and refusing what they call entitlement, social programs, that will be absolutely necessary to assure quality of life for the babies that will be born.

  4. Wow. Just wow. I predict a good many women opting for the, often, reversible tube-tying to avoid a potential unwanted pregnancy. Some will just opt for removal of the plumbing totally. 🤷‍♀️ Ridiculous, yet here we are.

  5. Democrats love killing babies don't they
    Democrats love LAWLESSNESS
    Democrats hate the POLICE

  6. I AM A REPUBLICAN
    NOSTROVIA
    ❤😂☦️🇺🇲💸💸💸👻💉❤️‍🔥 SHAME ON THEM !!!☦️

  7. Good !! Like to see judges that are not bought by right wing conservatives

  8. Someone is up for reelection? Lawfare? Dems and their love affair with killing babies?

  9. Wow, compassion from an American in Iowa. The state is added to this list of states trying to control women's lives. Thank you your honor, supporting a woman's rights is a stand for freedom from government and control of Americans based on some primitive, low-IQ religious superstition.
    Disgustingly it is supported by freaks who believe an alien being knocked up a 14 year old Earth girl, then sent her into a blizzard 9 months pregnant to bear a half-human illegitimate baby in a frozen manger full of sheep-sheet and swear by an old book that has many rules for women yet somehow far fewer for men. Thank you judge, the vast majority of Americans stand with you.

  10. SO women can plan to get abortions but they can't plan on using contraceptives to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

  11. The Taliban, aka Republicans, would prosecute God for deciding that some pregnancies aren't viable.

  12. Iowa needs to vote these ppl out! Covid was a pandemic and the govt can’t even force ppl to get vaccinated for their well being-Republicans overreached on women’s decision to forced birth to are bazaar! Where r the men’s responsibilities in this? So hypocrites. All things evil started w/Christianity! Pure evil!

  13. reynolds you talk about the innocent unborn….. you two – faced liar… these babies after born get no support from you repubs …. cut education, cut school meals, cut child care, healthcare and social services….dtrump’s surrogate….🤮

  14. Next they'll try to bring back slavery. For the many years that people have fought relentlessly for something that was working just to have it tossed away well, it sucks.

  15. As governor of Iowa, how many weeks pregnant was she when she found out SHE was pregnant?! What a witch.

  16. It's time to question religion….all religions. Look at the mess we're in. And a good chunk of this mess has been caused by the religious among us. Them believing in God is not the problem……. what they do in the name of that God is absolutely a problem!! Put your Gods back where they belong…… in the church!

  17. There is a good compromise. No abortions allowed for Republicans, and mandatory abortions for democrats. Everyone wins.

  18. Good, it’s between the woman and her Doctor No body else. Period.

  19. Yes I hope the courts keep supporting the women of iowa…..
    Time to vote this farce of governor out…. shoving her ideas down the women’s throats…

  20. Huge point that is not acknowledged…most Democrats want less abortion too. Let’s educate our children. Teach them the anatomy of their own body and how it works. Contraception. Methods to prevent STDs. Instead of taking away the rights of approximately 50% of the population, let’s take a different path. Education and free and/or affordable contraception. Same goal.

  21. I would agree welker should have been aborted she s an ignoramus liberal.

  22. Yes. This ban is so wrong.

  23. How about maybe keeping your skeezy legs shut until you’re able to accept that responsibility? THAT’S what bodily autonomy means!

  24. The anti abortion movement is evil and disgusting kudos to this judge

  25. Buy a truckload of dolls and drop them off at all the government “safe place” infant drop offs.
    Go get a second load. Invite your friends.

  26. *IF MEN COULD GET PREGNANT, ABORTION
    WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 2nd AMENDMENT*

  27. Stop pushing this on us. We do not give a f what you do but we are not paying for it. And dont have to accept you.

  28. Liberal Judge…so what do you expect…

  29. Judges need to be removed from earth.who the he'll do they think they are.

  30. The GOP just wants everyone else to give up fighting out of frustration. Never give up. Never surrender. Gen x is still here, & like fran drescher, you don't mess with us.

  31. Man, old rich White leftist peoples sure love their Margaret Sanger eugenics policies..
