Post Roe Abortion Problems

[Slim Cognito]

Fuck the Supreme Court, fuck trump, fuck all the legislators who don't know a placenta previa from an ingrown toenail and think a woman bleeding to death or dying of sepsis is just collateral damage in their misogynistic agenda to control us. Most of all, fuck the idiots who support these fuckers.

Fight me.

Top leader of RNC Platform Committee entertained idea of imprisoning women who get abortions, opposes exceptions

One of the leaders of the Republican National Convention’s platform committee, which shapes the party’s official stance on key issues, has a history of pushing extreme anti-abortion positions, including advocating for a national ban without exceptions for rape or incest. He also entertained the possibility of jailing women who get abortions and the doctors who perform them.

Ed Martin, the deputy policy director for the convention’s platform committee, is one of three people the Republican National Committee selected in May to help craft the party’s platform, which serves as a blueprint for the Republican Party’s agenda by detailing policy positions and how Republicans and former President Donald Trump would govern if elected. The platform is expected to be pared down this year, slashing the length of the document to focus on Trump’s agenda for a second term.

Martin has consistently espoused a hardline position on abortion, criticizing Republicans with a more moderate stance on the issue, and has even questioned the safety of birth control.

“The true bane of the pro-life movement is the faction of fake pro-lifers who claim to believe in the sanctity of human life but are only willing to vote that way with a list of exceptions,” Martin said on his radio show in June 2022 – several days after Roe v. Wade was struck down.

Georgia supreme court reinstates six-week abortion ban
Ruling comes just a week after a judge restored broad access to abortion in the swing state

Just one week after a Georgia judge restored broad access to abortion in the state by blocking its six-week abortion ban, the Georgia supreme court ruled on Monday to reinstate the ban.

The ban will take effect at 5pm local time on Monday and remain in effect while litigation over it plays out.

Abortion rights supporters quickly condemned the decision, which also came down weeks after news broke that two Georgia mothers, Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller, died after being unable to access legal abortions.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration is threatening TV stations that air ads in support of an abortion rights ballot initiative with criminal penalties, including jail time.

DeSantis and his allies are already spending large sums of taxpayer dollars to fight Amendment 4, which would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution if voted into law in November. His “election police” have interrogated and intimidated residents who signed petitions to put it on the ballot. His administration created a publicly funded, state-run website condemning the amendment, and has run ads promoting the current law, which bans abortions after six weeks.

Now, however, DeSantis is escalating the battle: On Oct. 3, his Department of Health sent a letter to at least one local NBC affiliate suggesting that prosecutors could bring criminal charges against the TV station for airing ads that encourage residents to vote for the amendment. The letter, first reported by investigative journalist Jason Garcia, asserted that the ads violate Florida’s “sanitary nuisance” law and that stations may commit a second-degree misdemeanor by carrying them, subjecting their employees to a 60-day jail sentence.

DeSantis is a sanitary nuisance.

Well, there's no 1A problems with that. (cough)

[Slim Cognito]

DeSantis is a piece of shit, which I believe makes him an unsanitary nuisance.

[Rolodex]

Showing trump ads is a sanitary nuisance.

In the wake of DeSantis' administration ordering TV stations to remove a pro-choice ad or face potential jail time, FCC Chairwoman @JRosenworcelFCC has a statement reiterating the First Amendment rights of broadcasters to air political speech, even if a governor doesn't like it.

The ad Desantis wants to scrub.
