Abortion and Contraceptives Illegal

I wish I was joking but unfortunately this is true.

Ballot initiatives were approved in West Virginia and Alabama banning abortion. In Alabama they are trying to give personhood rights to a zygote/fetus making certain contaceptives illegal. So by taking them you could face actual criminal sentences. This will go into affect if Roe vs. Wade is overturned.

The trump administration has rolled back a rule in the Affordable Care Act. This will allow employers to remove insurance coverage of birth control for their employees based on religious ideology. This will go into effect in about two months.

Ladies are we winning yet?

It's all based on racism, can't have minorities overtaking us.
I'm sure that figures into it but it's mostly about controlling women's bodies and rights while using the bible as a means to justify their crap.

West Virginia and Bama just trying to guarantee their inbred family lineage.
As if there wasn't enough chromosomes already.

will they be taking away condoms too so everyone gets aids?

where is the logic......? i am truly confused.
There is no logic lol And no men are g2g ofc. As for contraceptives used for non birth preventative reasons, I doubt they care. So people with diseases like pcos will have to pay out of pocket as well.
Im surprised Arkansas isnt still in the dark ages like this too. It makes me sad for women who live there. I was born from a rape but i would have understood if she didnt want a reminder of that for 9 months. Catholic families in the 80s tho, so here I am. Particularly in rape cases, i think it is imperative to have this option. Also, the world is overpopulated. If they dont want to bring another mouth to feed into this world, i dont blame them. I just dont get these archaic ways of thinking. Education is key to keeping unplanned pregnancies from happening. Lets focus on mandatory sex ed specifically focused on communicable diseases, and pregnancy and parenthood.

See this is why nobody can relate with the black community. Because they think the world revolves around them and can only see the entire world through the lens of how white people hate black people or whatever. You could have a deeper understanding of complexity and depth of bigotry, and you'd be able to find an ally in and fully relate to a white person. Because a Gay White or a Female White is just as much at odds with a Redneck White as you are. They are hated just as much, and hate bigots just as much.

But you can't understand that because you don't want to see from the perspective of other people's shoes.

A black gay female is on the bottom of societies totem pole. Let’s be real.

I’m thinking of all the issues women face in this country that men don’t.

Wage gap

Governments hands in her pussy aka reproductive choice

Sexism and gender bias

Domestic violence

Some of these issues may effect men but not on the same scale.

But to up the ante actually it’s the black transgender whose treated worst by society.
