  1. Abortion ban is the best thing that can happen,along with Tiktok ban !!!

  2. The pundit is too low-IQ to pull the wool over your eyes.

  3. What if it’s in the Fallopian tube what then? That’s a f**** problem and It would also mean that those women who are pregnant with that probably would have to die so they won’t break the law by far the stupidest, dumbest, most idiotic ban I have never heard. The person who made this ban should be arrested for murderer. Trying to be a Hitler wannabe. 😡🤬

  4. This woman is not right

  5. "The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike orphans, they don't need money, education, or childcare; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It's almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe.

  6. You guys are idiots! Killing children is safer than having children?

  7. How about more kids? Healthy mothers would be the ramifications!

  8. We bologna! Abortions are not safe at All!

  9. This is grim news for all birthing people. This is just one of many out comes for unwilling birthing people with limited options. This is what happens when men are allowed to make laws for women

  10. You can give all the ethical arguments you want but the fact of the matter it's rule of law. It was never a right to have an abortion. Roe v Wade says it's a woman's right to privacy to keep knowledge of abortion a secret. It is implied in Roe v Wade that abortion is a right and all implied rights are left to the discretion of each individual state as written in the proclivity Clause of the 14th Amendment. Take solace in the fact that the constitution is perfect again.

  11. of course it is. They are not even making exceptions for a mother's life. Had this happened when I was 20 I would now be dead and 2 of my 3 kids would have never been born. I have 3 daughters and I'm scared out of my mind for them. 2 of the 3 have inherited my medical issues.

  12. MALIBU, CA — After Roe v. Wade was overturned, actor Mark Hamill took to Twitter to angrily condemn the decision — as well as people who adopt children like the Star Wars characters Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.

    "People who adopt other people's babies are creepy, terrible people," said Hamill to reporters. "Luke Skywalker should've been aborted by Padme, but instead he was adopted by a gross, uneducated white couple from some flyover planet far away from the bright center of the universe. Disgusting! They're probably Evangelical Christians."

    Hamill went on to say that if he could remake the Star Wars series, Padme would've sought out a galactic Planned Parenthood and aborted both Luke and Leia. "Star Wars could have been a triumphant story of bodily autonomy," he said, "but instead it was just another tale of courage, heroism, and redemption. Lame!"

    Hamill went on to criticize the adoptive parents of Leia — Bail and Breha Organa — for not tossing the future Princess Leia in a nearby lake when they had the chance.

  13. Speaking as a Short Man, I was disappointed by this ruling. I want to make my wife get an abortion if it is a daughter.

    I want to have a son who respects short men as opposed to some shallow heightist girl who only dates 6ft tall guys.

  14. What life is being preserved if the mothers die or mother and child die? This country is just incredibly stupid

  15. News Flash – Cipollone was Trumps White House lawyer and is NOW cooperating under oath to convict Trump.

    Trumpist making deadly threats and trying to intimidate witnesses!

    Trumpist gunmen will continue because Trump has never been punished for his crimes…..they see no Law and no Order. Arrest Trump and save our kids!

    Trump attacked his secret service agent. Secret Service Agents asked to testify UNDER oath!

    Trump vandalized the White House, destroyed White House property in fit of rage and stole secret documents.

    FBI seized John Eastman for criminal activity and now has his cell phone

    Ron Johnson lies about his seditious conspiracy efforts.

    Mo Brooks, Matt Gates,Scott Perry,Louis Gohmert, Andy Biggs,Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, John Eastman admits guilt….all by asking for pardons!

    Everyone knows, if you ask for or accept a pardon you are admitting guilt! A pardon is for a crime committed.

    Trump willfully mounted the insurrection and violate conspiracy statute 18 U.S.C. § 371 of the criminal code. Trump also stole secret documents from the White House.

    Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to arrest Trump and his leadership team!

    Steve Bannon Arrested, Guilty and Indicted! All appeals denied by courts and his trial starts in July 2022.

    Proud Boys Leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio is arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Pezzola arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Ethan Nordean, of Seattle, arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Joe Biggs, of the Daytona Beach area arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Zachary Rehl, of Philadelphia arrested for seditious conspiracy

    Peter Navarrow Arrested, Guilty and Indicted! Trial date 11/17/2022

    Mark Meadows Guilty and Contempt
    Dan Scavino Guilty and Contempt
    Civil Contempt For Trump Is Pending
    Civil lawsuits For Trump Are Pending
    Jail Time For Trump Is Coming: he stole white house documents and gifts to America from foreign officials. oh and he is the insurrection leader
    Loudermilk is a Trumpist Insurgent. He lead Trumpists into the Capital and then denied it.

    Now you know what the future with Trumpism will continue to be like !! More mass shooting will happen if DOJ Garland doesnt arrest all top Trumpists.

    No person is above the law! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.

    since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos and mass shootings. Put an end to the evil Trumpist Republicans and support the good Republicans and good democrats.

    MAGA Trumpists are ramping up their war machine to lie about their insurrection! Dont believe the lies!
    .

    We need to support a federal law mandating prison time for each lie told by an elected official.
    .

    More Very Disturbing Trends –

    1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE…that is what their Union will fight for during investigations and trials.

    2 Law enforcement cant be prosecuted for Not doing their jobs

    3 Law enforcement can legally lie unless they are under oath at that moment

    4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always

    5 Law enforcement has qualified immunity, which makes it very difficult to prosecute them

    Texas Shooting Coverup …..over 18 armed evil trumpist c o p s had over 11,000 live rounds of ammo and they waited. and waited…..while people were being killed. it took the border patrol to take out the shooter…. how sad is that?

    nothing will happen to these evil trumpist people unless the locals keep up the pressure and the cops and politicians involved leave!

  16. We need ( NATIONAL HEALTH CARE!)

  17. If we are to preserve ROE vs WADE we need to Traumatize people with the disterbing DETAILES of why you would need a ABORTION. My life DEPENDS on IT! You Pick, Abortion or SUISIDE?

  18. So who's going to adopt the thousands of unwanted children already in orphanages and group homes?

  19. Since we sterilize animals, why don't we sterilize these women as well? These women have no respect for life.

  20. BAN Viagra drug and other male enhancement drugs . If a man is not going to get a women pregnant he shouldn't have the drug . All Male Enhancement Drugs should be BANNED in the USA .

  21. But banning abortion would save the lives of one million babies each year. As for maternal deaths, all the states banning abortion make an exception when the mother's life is in danger. This study is bogus and going on the false assumption that abortion won't be permitted to save the life of the mother.

  22. sounds like a bunch of bs to scare women into becoming child murderers

  23. Her Death by an Illegal Abortion by "mack the knife"
    a 1961 search for her body story here

  24. Why do some animals eat their young?

    Animal parents have limited resources to dedicate to their offspring, and if the baby is sick or weak, carnivores have been known to consume babies or abandon them. Cannibalism gives the mother the calories she needs to raise her healthy babies or get pregnant again.

  25. Will definitely lead to more suicide in pregnant women.

  26. I felt brain cells dying as I listened to these two. Yes, women die in childbirth. You needed a scientific study for that?

  27. (pregnant people?) no, its pregnant women

  28. most of them probably voted for the wrong president. no one is innocent in a democracy.

  29. This is not a new study WE ALREADY KNOW THIS!!!!!!

  30. The tubal ligation may be a women's choice.

  31. Why are people trying to justify killing a unborn life??? Our reasons more important than a human life???
