As they should. Bodily autonomy and medical care is nobody's business save the patient and their doctor. Full stop. No exceptions. Without bodily autonomy, there are no other rights.

Good. They need to sue the shit out of everyone that made this possible until it’s rolled back.

They also need to vote for not-assholes.

This was what they vote for. We see articles like this everyday.

To some degree yes, but not everyone in a red state votes red, and not everyone in a red state can afford to leave. Sounds like an excuse to punish the poor, but we knew that. (Yes, I live in a red state, no I didn't vote for this shit, and yes, I do vote). Now do I feel bad when I read the articles about the woman who are like "I was always against abortion but now that I was denied one this is awful?" Haha, no.

Why assume everyone in a red state votes Republican?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The majority of them in these three states do. There isn't even the slightest pocket of blue in Oklahoma.

That's because Oklahoma enjoys all the voter suppression tactics used by Texas, without all the press.
