Roe v. Wade is gone.

[Rev. Rye]

A wacky minority is using SCOTUS to harass the rights of the majority; you have nothing to fear, unless you live in Mississippi.

Or literally any state with a Republican legislature and/or governorship. Also I wouldn't call them wacky as much as I'd call them malicious bastards.

And, as I’ve said before, this isn’t going to end abortion, even in the states that have trigger laws that ban it the second the Supreme Court says they’re not going to fight it. All it’s going to do is make it harder for everyone.

If the milk of human kindness hasn’t curdled into casu marzu, I’d highly recommend 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days. It’s based on a true story of two women trying to procure an abortion in Communist Romania, probably one of the most fiercely “pro-life” regimes To exist in recent times: abortion (and contraception) are outlawed, divorces are difficult to obtain, giving birth is encouraged to the point where people without children are given heavy taxes (and, ironically for a Communist state, if you’re struggling financially trying to keep both yourself and your baby alive, the social safety net is rudimentary, so you’re SOL), women of child-bearing age are given gynecological exams once a month so they can monitor any pregnancy that happens (and miscarriages are investigated as potential crimes), babies born to parents who couldn’t afford to take care of them are routinely abandoned either on the streets or in orphanages that frequently couldn’t afford to meet the children’s basic needs (and those were the better ones), and once Ceaucescu figured out that his policies weren’t working out (even in his goal of creating big Romanian families), decided the best thing to do was double down on the policies that were making his people miserable.

And the sad thing is, I strongly suspect that many pro-lifers would look at this and think it’s pretty based.

The movie is on YouTube, but there’s no subtitles, so if you don’t speak Romanian, it’ll be hard to understand what’s happening.
