    Old, angry, white men wanting to control women’s bodies…a tale as old as time.

    People like this are scared and weak. They can’t handle a strong, opinionated woman or someone on equal standing on them, so they must strip away their rights. It’s fucking scummy.

    To some extent I guess I can understand the anti-abortion stance, but an anti-IVF stance along with it is wild. It’s adding people. You’re literally proclaiming an anti-life stance while you claim to be pro-life.

      It makes sense if you see their views as being about controlling women rather than being pro-life. The common thread of conservatism is removing agency and power from everyone but themselves.

        Exactly. Conservatives are the “us” that the law protects but does not restrict, and everyone else is “them” who the law restricts but does not protect.

      Same thing with people who are 2a obsessed and claim to be pro life at the same time. Ya can’t have fantasies about killing somebody and then turn around and claim you are worried about the sanctity of life.

        Someone should sit em down & teach em about how inefficient sex is at it too… but then again that’d require them to listen/learn.

        Someone should tell them that Muslims are happy to use IVF and Catholics that oppose it mean less Christian kids. See how quickly they make a 180 on that!
