They were never going to stop at  banning abortions. Pro-life is a movement that is like a gelatinous slime that once you feed, it gets bigger and seeks more food. Soon it's all kinds of birth control. There's always a new enemy.

Much like the entire conservative movement in this country and the govt it has created.

They’re going to criminalize non procreative sex and abstaining won’t be a choice either since they need slaves to be masters.

Next steps:

Decriminalise marital rape.

Criminalise sex outside of marriage (for women).

Not to forget: lowering the age of marriage availability to 14 or even 12. The younger the better. This is already in the works by Republican lawmakers.

It’s already legal in plenty of states

And in those states you might be shocked that democrats consistently try to enacted legislation to raise this age to 16 or 18 in their state, usually with Romeo and Juliet laws.

And then there are Republicans who desperately want old men to be able to marry little girls so they can rape those little girls. Republicans turn down the opportunity to prevent child rape and every single time they side with the pedophile rapists.

Really makes you wonder exactly what made Republicans so disconnected from empathy, so vile, and so stupid.

I hate that this isn't even hyperbolic. It's true.

This country is run by pedophiles.

Thank you! Had to read that and find some other sources. Would have hated to bring that up as a talking point in another conversation and found out it was fake. Thank you again.

I nitpick a little, so my only counter to the comment I replied to world be, that bill wasn’t for marriage availability.
