The US is actually going to implement a nationwide abortion ban and the measures for how it’s going to be handled are already in the works. This bill, which I link to here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/7/text , seems ok at first glance and only seems to want to implement nationwide healthcare centers for women. But when you actually look at what these Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers are and mean to offer, it becomes really clear what’s going on.

On the first page of the PDF or booklet that appear when you search for the healthcare centers it is clear that they are supported by pro-life organisations and hold extreme pro-life values. And when you read the (very short) booklet it states their values and services that are to be provided. Among them is a requirement for “Abortion Pill Reversal” and encouragement for “Sterilization Reversal”. The last page clearly states their values, where among them it states that:

“Abortion is not women’s healthcare, because of the damage it causes to women’s physical and emotional health and the destruction of unborn life, many of whom are females. Abortion is usually something women turn to when they feel they do not have another choice. This is a tragedy and the opposite of choice and empowerment.”

And it goes on to list similiar values. The bill to implement these healthcare centers states that:

"That the House of Representatives—

(1) expresses its support for women nationwide to have access to comprehensive, convenient, compassionate, life-affirming, high-quality health care; and

(2) recognizes the high standards established by Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers consortium as standards worth implementing nationwide."

This means that the values that these Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers have are to be set as standards nationwide.

    yes. elections have consequences. republicans haven’t been coy about wanted to outlaw abortion nationwide at the federal level. enough democrats didn’t vote in the last election (mostly young people for whom these bans will effect the most, and cause the most harm) to ensure republicans now control ever branch of united states government, the legislative (both house of congress), the judicial (doj and the supreme court), and executive (the presidency). that’s a clean sweep, and a wide pipe for the monsters to do just about anything they want to. congratulations.

      If only liberals had self reflection to learn why the lost the election in a landslide. Nope. Blame voters!

      Edit:

      • no primary
      • biden promised to be a one term president and lied, he’s senile and demented
      • lied about inflation
      • two new forever wars
      • funded a genocide
      • awful covid policy of “let it rip!”
      • last minute push of no votes Kamala instead of holding a fucking primary to start with
      • only platform is “we’re not trump”
      • real platform is “nothing will fundamentally change”
      • voting third party is not supporting fascism you stupid fucking liberals
      • continue to refuse to change your stupid ways and continue to lose elections
      • democrats didn’t do shit to stop fascism because fascism doesn’t threaten capital and they only exist to stop the left
      • democrats lose on purpose so they can cynically fundraise off it
      • keep voting blue no matter who and keep fucking losing
      • blue MAGA be whining crying and carrying on that if you didn’t vote for fascist genocider joe that you’re a fascist! Grow up and read history you fucking babies.
      • insults voters rather than listens to their concerns
      • assumes everyone who didn’t vote for biden voted for trump which is logically false
      • zero class consciousness and everything boils down to losing identity politics
      • nobody cares that Kamala was black and indian that’s not a reason to vote for or against anyone
      • nobody cares that the fighter pilot dropping bombs on brown people abroad is a black gay Jewish trans man, we want the bombing to stop!
      • democrats had fifty fucking years to make roe v Wade law but instead cynically fundraised off it
      • biden fucked over labor

      Keep fucking crying. Never self reflect that it’s YOUR FAULT for not pushing the dems left. Never self reflect that the democrats DID THIS TO THEMSELVES.

              You’re right, I voted for biden in 2020 which is one of my biggest regrets in life.

              He’s the genocider. Meanwhile trump got his peace deal signed which means for eight fucking months this could of happened under biden but that senile racist Zionist fuck wrote a blank check to Israel instead.

              Love liberal logic. Genocide is ok as long as it’s brown people abroad!

                You might be slow homie. Neither party was or is gonna stop the genocide. It’s almost like we make a bunch of money selling weapons in some kind of military industrial complex. But I’ll let you figure it out for yourself enjoy these interesting times.

                  So you admit that a vote for either Democrats or republivans was a vote for genocide… and you’re still blaming the voters for failing to vote for genocide?

                  Make it make sense.

                    While voting for Kamala means nothing changes But here is the fun part not voting for Kamala means the genocide comes to the states too!

                    JFC. Even if both candidates were identical on the issue of genocide— they’re not, but even if— you still stack up and compare all their other differences and you fucking vote for the best one available, because I guarantee that we wouldn’t be talking about an impending nationwide abortion ban if Kamala had won.

            Stop repeating “liberal media”. We don’t have it.

            We have oligarch media and independent media.

            According to four people who regularly talk to Biden, all of whom asked for anonymity to discuss internal campaign matters, it is virtually inconceivable that he will run for reelection in 2024, when he would be the first octogenarian president.

            Anonymous sources offering their personal opinion are not Biden.

            “No, I never have,” Biden said when asked by a reporter on Wednesday if those discussions were taking place. “I don’t have any plans on one term.”

              That’s why numerous liberal media sources reported otherwise? The people who suck the democrat party’s dick for a living?

              Nah. When he ran in 2020 he made it seem like he’d be one term. He’s playing both sides. I can’t believe you fall for his fucking lies.

              Edit: he promised to be a “bridge candidate” to younger candidates, implying a one term presidency which he then pretended he didn’t say. I feel like I live in the fucking twilight zone being gaslit by blue MAGA twats.

                When he ran in 2020 he made it seem like he’d be one term.

                How did you get that when he explicitly said he had no plans on one term?

                I can’t believe you fall for his fucking lies.

                What lies am I falling for? I always thought he would run for a second term, and then he did. You are the one that fell for the lies, thinking that he wouldn’t run again.

                Edit: The bridge candidate stuff is just fluff to get people to not worry about his age, it doesn’t mean anything. It is certainly not a promise of anything.

                  BULLSHIT. It was clearly implied he’d be a one term candidate. His own fucking words which he took back when convenient because he’s a fucking narcissist. All the liberal media saying it. All the “Biden campaign sources” saying it.

                  Stop fucking gaslighting it’s embarrassing.

                    All the “Biden campaign sources” saying it.

                    Several anonymous sources said that they thought that he would not run again. Why do you believe anonymous sources opinions?

                    Is Biden not a “Biden campaign source”? Because he explicitly said he had no intention of running only one term.

                    And why have you abandoned your original claim of a Biden promise?
