    Do some digging, ATW. Never assume. The fellow is "good" with the media, but if you look closely at what he actually attempts to do with his rubber stamp legislature, there's a heck of a lot of "Alabama" in there.

    So of course I was with my mother and she started talking about politics. “All these people are freaking out about the Roe V Wade thing when no one will actually make abortion illegal”. I kept quiet but after she brought it up 5 times I finally expressed my views on the subject.

    I showed her the Louisiana bill and showed her how they’re also trying to ban in vitro. Then explained to her that because of my treatments I may have to use in vitro for her to have grandkids. I had some swimmers frozen before I started just in case.

    Anyways, it’s the first time she’s actually read a bill and didn’t just take Tucker Carlson or the stupid memes jackasses like @MojoMan share on social media. She’s been extremely depressed all day and keeps texting me that she would never support that.

    This is the first time she learned that maybe her news sources aren’t telling her everything she needs to know.

    Sucks that she’s depressed, but I’m glad she might finally see that the talking heads on OAN aren’t always telling her what’s really going on. Although reality is she will just end up doing some Q mental gymnastics and start blaming everything on Hilary Clinton and Hunter Biden in a week.

    You are about 50 years late on that call.

    Interesting local public radio interview today had a reproductive health worker from Alabama explaining some of what's coming.

    She mentioned that about 20% of wanted pregnancies end in natural miscarriage in Alabama. Given that state's laws poised to take full effect once we lose RvW, the following will not only be plausible but will happen, according to what she sees in the workplace.

    1. Woman without healthcare coverage (lots of them) comes into ER distressed by vaginal bleeding.
    2. Any ER worker suspects that maybe the woman tried to manually abort her pregnancy. Calls authorities.
    3. Woman, who very much wanted a baby, now becomes a murder suspect.

    Dystopia, anyone? Damn am I ever glad I don't have daughters (that I know of -- hat tip to topic).

    It really takes some kind of government to enforce this when you think about it. Imagine the kind of questions that would have to be asked to determine this and how much into your privacy in general the government has to be to actually enforce some of these laws.

    The more I think about this bill the more I think about how the hell any of this will actually be enforced.

    I'm sure they'll only enforce the law on those who look guilty or suspicious :rolleyes:.

    It could be an expansion of the court. It could be stealing Justice appointments like McConnell did... it could be an erosion of confidence in the court (which we are already seeing). There very well could be lots of consequences. What you won't see is a bunch of traitors listening to a POS President telling them to storm the Capitol or the USSC building. There will be no zip ties or guns or bombs.

    I am interested to see when she flips back, or maybe this is what gets her to start questioning.

    These are the types of things that can get people to actually understand how these laws can affect their loved ones.

    As soon as somebody reminds her that her comeback for any of this liberal body autonomy drivel is ..."Because Jesus"...

    ...because that's how you shut that whole thing down...

    ...she'll be back to normal (for her)...and the rest of us can go on being mortified...

    I've learned that many pro-lifers are women.

    Sounds like we gotta lock the most photo-friendly women on both sides, have'm duke it out in an ol' fashioned mud pit, and see who comes out on top.
