I’m waiting for a law similar to the South Dakota law to be passed in Alabama.. It’s only a matter of effing time. When the time DOES arrive (and believe me, ladies, it will) I plan on setting up an underground abortion clinic like so many before me. Eat that, gov’na!

“I guess I should add, for the benefit of any government onlookers, that that part about an insurgent group was just a joke.”

Says it all.

Hi Livia. Thank you for the kind offer, but in that event I’ve already planned to lead an insurgent group based in a network of secret tunnels under the Austin Public Library system. The jury is actually still out on whether our country will go all “Handmaid’s Tale” on us; personally, I’m a little skeptical. On the other hand, our future as a third-rate, bankrupt, ex-superpower banana republic seems pretty much assured.

And if any of you would like to emigrate when they succeed in establishing Gilead, feel free to come and sleep on my floor.

Hi. I’m new.

I just scanned the Ohio bill, which I wasn’t previously aware of. (I live in Britain and it hasn’t been much reported here.) “Abortion trafficking?” My (or rather their) God. I’m usually a lurker on discussion boards, but I had to express how appalled this makes me.

You really are fighting a battle over there. I had an abortion last year; it was simple to obtain, safe and free. No-one harassed me or threatened me when I entered the clinic. That this is not the case for women in America is a disgrace. That Roe V Wade may be overturned is a disgrace.

I don’t know how aware you are that the common view of the US in this country is of a society increasingly dominated by religious gun-toting anti-scientific nutjobs who are intent on dragging the whole country screaming back into the middle ages. That’s not just a view held by pinko Guardian reading atheist evolution lovin’ lefties (like me), it’s held by practically everyone.

So can women seek damages from their spouses, fathers or sons every time they whack off and kill off all those millions of people that could have been?

Well, what’s good for the gander is good for the goose. I want in. Considering that a man kills off 120 to 600 million people that could have been every time he whacks off, just think of the possibilities of the damages we could seek! Even if we only asked for 50 cents a person (which, come on guys, is downright cheap) and even if he only whacked off only once.

Can’t have your cake and eat too, boys. You claim that life begins with your sperm? Then so be it. Start coughing up that dough. We want retribution for our lost children from all you baby killing males.

The Ohio bill referred to above (crossing state lines) is HB 228. It is chock full of nausea-inducing authoritarianism. For your blaming (dis)pleasure:

(C) Whoever violates division (B)(1) of this section is liable to the pregnant woman, to the person who was the father of the fetus or embryo that was the subject of the abortion, and, if the pregnant woman was a minor at the time of the abortion, to her parents, guardian, or custodian for civil compensatory and exemplary damages.

There you go ladies. A law, that if passed, shows that other people own your uteruses, and can seek damages if you sneak off an have an abortion. From Common Ground, Common Sense

Anticipating that, Brinkman's bill also prohibits transporting a woman across county or state lines for an abortion. Doing so would carry the same charge as an in-state abortion: first- or second-degree felonies punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
