is almost as despicable as an issue which effects women only, namely access to abortion, and very little mention of women themselves as the victims of decisions made by others, e.g. unwanted pregnancies and children. Not just missing in the report, but here as well.

Right-wing rosetta stone:
âI am confused about where the outrage is at â about 20 million African-American children that have been aborted,â Bryant said.
Democrats = Planned Parenthood = Margaret Sanger = eugenics = black genocide.
âNo one wants to say anything about that. No one wants to talk about that.â
Those not saying = Media = Democrats = âthe plan is to suppress black people by keeping them âon the plantationâ of the welfare stateâ.
Ergo, Democrats are the real racists, and the Republican attempt to control womenâs sexuality is evidence of Republicansâ status as the real non-racists.

Well, the story does, as does the male judgeâs decision. As Eustace says, itâs pretty great.
Here is a link to a LA newspaper, The Advocate, PDF version of the court ruling:

How do you figure abortion affects only women? Its not just a medical procedure.

YOU tell me how if affects the other gender. Some kind of emotional oh I want a child, wonât you carry it for me so it can be a mini me? No. Itâs a medical procedure, not as simple as having tonsils removed, but a medical procedure nonetheless.
Like it or not, fathers are emotionally invested in the pregnancies they caused. Or should be.

He wants Mississippi to be ââŚthe safest place in America for an unborn child.â
Bryant can prove it by setting up free medical clinics for all pregnant women or he can shut his yap.

If they put the same energy (and âprayerâ) into actually ending Unwanted Pregnancy (UP) instead of abortion, theyâd ultimately get their first wish. End UP and you all but end abortion.
To me, abortion is nothing more than a symptom of UP. Advocating for âabstinenceâ is fine, but you canât draw the line there. That doesnât end UP. It can only (arguably) reduce it. So long as UP exists, so will abortion, legal or otherwise. The historical horrors of that prohibition are well-remembered. We must never go back there.
So to all those people that block ways of ending UP while fighting to end abortion, I say, âyou canât have it both waysâ without also giving up ALL of our liberties and freedoms and becoming a fascist, authoritarian state.
Good job to the courts for standing with the Constitution against the âMarriage of Church and Stateâ peopleâŚ

Financial support and medical care for the rearing of the child as well, so no one is in the position of being unable to afford a child âŚ
As long as weâre dreaming. Pro-life my big toe.

Actually, in about 90% of cases, itâs a zygote that has been removed, not a fetus and certainly not a âchildâ.
And yet they argue against âbirth controlâ and âfamily planningâ. I submit that they just identified 20 million reasons to end Unwanted Pregnancy (and no, abstinence isnât a âcureâ, and religion doesnât get to dictate the terms). End Unwanted Pregnancy, and you all but end abortion by default.
Pro-lifers need to stop being so short-sighted. If they really cared about improving the conditions of human life, theyâd be fighting tooth and nail for preventative care.

It takes a special kind of person to love the zygote so much more than the person carrying it or the end product of the pregnancy. Bryant mourning African-American fetuses is like a wolf mourning unborn sheep. It just doesnât ring true.

Their presumed emotional investment takes a back seat to a mom who is doing the majority of work around that child or two or three and the toll childbirth takes on her body and the risk of dying in childbirth. It still happens.
These men are in power large due to a majority of white women voting for them.

No one voted for any SCOTUS Justice whose decisions will likely be the final arbiter of what women can do with their bodies. The anti abortion forces wonât stop until this happens.

Itâs comical when the reasoning behind such restrictive abortion laws is âto protect womenâ s healthâ. Correction: it would be comical if it were not, in reality, so dangerous to womenâ s health.
(why does auto-correct insist that the apostrophe must be before the âsâ?!?!? auto-incorrect!)
Except, of course, that ending unwanted pregnancies, in many parts of this country, means ending the access to young girls that male predators think is a rightâŚ

how dare women think they should have any say so, when health-care decisions, concerning their own bodies, need to be made?! donât they realize that those decisions are best left to white/evangelical/christian men, the only people with the knowledge/insight, necessary to make those difficult decisions, in a rational, emotionless way? if you let them start deciding whether/how many children to have, where will it end? next, theyâll be wanting to vote/go to college/work outside the home/not get married/be able to support themselves/etc.
it will be the end of modern civilization as we know it. besides which, whoâll make me a sammich?

Trend lines for maternal deaths.
Mississippi is about mid- rank at 20.8 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births
while California is best at 4 per 100,000.
What is odd is that Mississippi is 2nd worst in harm to maternal health but mid- rank in maternal death.
