I just had what I believe might actually be a genius idea to put an end to GOP war on women once and for all.
Let's start with the definition of the word abortion "Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus" (continued)
Some abortions are medical procedures performed by medical professionals. When a pregnancy is lost by other means, it's called a 'spontaneous abortion' (medical term for miscarriage.) (continued)
There are many causes of spontaneous abortion (sa) & LOTS of people aid & abet these. This article covers the top ten causes of fetal death. I'll summarize those (see next post) churchandstate.org.uk/2013/08/pro-li…

TRIGGER WARNING.
1. A few years ago I heard about a horrific story where a developmentally delayed 13 y/o (who operated at the level of a 7 y/o, according to her mother) became pregnant from being raped by her stepfather. Anti-abortion groups sued the abortion provider. #elxn44
2. You read that correctly. Anti-abortion groups did not mount an action against the child’s abuser, but against the abortion clinic. Poilievre, Candice Bergen, Michael Barrett, Ed Fast, & every single #CPC MP on that list above, also believe….

3….what those anti-choice groups believed: this child should’ve been forced to carry a pregnancy resulting from horrific abuse.
In the beliefs of these #CPC MPs - who would be in charge of people’s lives - there should be no rape or incest exceptions. #NeverVoteCPC #elxn44

I'm gonna need everyone to quit using #AmericanTaliban and #TexasTaliban--not only are they xenophobic copouts that ignore the role of white American Evangelicalism behind the Texas law, but they also get the timeline mixed up. This form of US Christianity PREDATES the Taliban.
I know you think you're being cute, but trust me, white American Evangelicals have never needed to look abroad to get ideas about how to enact oppression here at home.

The Texas abortion law is rooted in whiteness, Christianity, and Americanism.
When you can only describe a purely American phenomenon in terms of the bad stuff that happens elsewhere, you're saying you think the bad stuff *belongs* in those other countries. You're saying you think it's always been sunshine and roses here, and injustices here are anomalies.
