politics

Lol just remember that all people that vote Republican support this.

Remember ~~kids~~ adults dangerously close to popping out unwanted kids, Don't talk to the police

You ain't gotta tell them where you're going, what you're doing, or why you're there. You get pulled over, hand them what they ask for and keep your mouth shut

“Excuse me ma’am, I’m going to need to see your uterus before you can leave Texas”

That has to violate the 4th Amendment.

From The Bill of Rights:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

You can’t just assume any & all pregnant women are going to get an abortion, so that’s not probable cause.

Unfortunately, there are already reports of police stopping women in cars on the highway to check if the women are pregnant and off to another state. The notion that a locality or state has the right to violate your privacy in order to veto your travel if it's for purposes they don't like seems impossible to square with the 4th Amendment or the Commerce Clause, but I guess that's not stopping these people

How do you say freedom in fascist American?

The last civil war was predicated by slave states sending squads north to round up any black people they find.

The next one might start because of states hunting down pregnant women outside their borders.

The Union should have scorched earthed the South and executed all of the leaders and ex-US military officers who defected to the CSA. Instead, you allowed them to live and fester like moldy spores. Now the contagion is fruiting again.

well that's a type of freedom I've not heard of before

It used to be an insult to mistakenly ask some woman of she's pregnant.

Now pretending to be just fat will be an ultimate defense

Edit:

This also explains why cars collect our sexual data and genetic material

Whoa now, I don't think I could handle that much freedom!

The Republicans can see their power slipping as young people are becoming more aware and involved, and it seems as though they've gone into overdrive in an attempt to save their wretched ideology. Just about every day there's at least one story about them taking things to the next level, and it's gotten out of control.

Anyone who has seen the plan the Heritage Foundation laid out for replacing career experts in regulatory agencies and government offices with their own far right people in order to literally, in their own words, dismantle the administrative state, should be terrified.

They want autocracy, with them at the top. Forever. And now that it is getting more and more unlikely that could happen democratically, they're taking matters into their own hands before it's too late for them and their party dies.

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO VOTE. READ THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION'S RECENTLY RELEASED PLAN, AND FUCKING VOTE.

Which only shows how mindfucked those people are. I mean, what will they do? Stop random cars with women inside, interrogating them and testing their blood for potential pregnancies?

doesn't this violate freedom of travel...

Cool it with the all caps titles homie

Yes it's an important topic, so it deserves attention, meaning use normal capitalization so people don't just downvote and autoblock you for excessive caps

Tell me you want to ban women from leaving their homes without telling me you want to ban women from leaving their homes.

There isn't a single freedom they won't take from us.

Note that the police aren’t involved. It looks like this is another one where they want other citizens to take the risk by spending their own money, for laws the cities/counties must know can’t hold up in court. However, the people most likely to be targeted also are not likely to have the funds for the protracted court battle, so this is fear and control, and wouldn’t be applied equally

These Republicans are just disgusting people.

I guess the Fourth Amendment only applies when convenient.

So what are you in jail for?

• driving while pregnant.

I'm guessing these will fall on 14th amendment grounds.

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States

Traveling to another state to access services that are illegal in your state is a privilege of US citizens.

"They're also trying to create a precedent, kind of bit by bit, establishing that a fetus is a rights-holding person, or an unborn child is a rights-holding person in the law. It's a bid to eventually get that claim before the U.S. Supreme Court," Ziegler said.

This is the really concerning part. You know exactly how the SC would rule on that.

Just take away federal highway money.

I'm not from the USA, but all sensible people from there that care about living in a non fascist state should be panicking right now. Your "democracy" is now in direct threat and the people need to rise up and show that they won't let this shit pass. Besides voting, get out in the streets and protest. Do everything that needs to be done to show that the loud minority is just that, a minority.

To keep fascism from rising up, you need to be intolerant of the ones who show no tolerance. Your enemy has no moral bounds and will do anything to achieve their hateful goals, if it comes down to it then violence is not immoral if you're violent against someone who gets off on people suffering, it's self defense.

this from the party of "feedom"

Slave catchers and preventing black people from leaving for free states. That worked well in the 1860s.

So you're telling me, you and all your pregnant friends, all six of them are on your way to the last Blockbuster on earth?

...uhm... yes?

well, that checks out. Always wanted to go, myself.

You guys still calling it the land of the free?

I wonder how long it will be before this is turned against these weirdos. "California law states you cannot drive over state lines to purchase a gun" is just the first thing that came to mind.
