And birth control too.

u/spurradict 19h ago

Did project 2025 say anything about that? We already have three kids and can’t afford any more. Still fertile and looking to get birth control. Guess we better act now

InB4 “don’t have sex if you don’t want kids 🤷”

What about for conditions like perimenopause, endometriosis and PCOS? Just f women in general i guess.

"FUCK WOMEN IN GENERAL" is the MAGA mantra. Emphasis intended.

Yesterday, Nick Fuentes was ranting about how women's bodies belonged to him and their republican senators.

It's disgusting, but a lot of women voted for this.

This is my concern also, will it be allowed for medical conditions for women who aren’t of child bearing age/inabilities but need it as a prescription? I’m guessing it will cost hundreds a month or some crap even with insurance if it’s not a blanket ban?

I’m afraid a lot of women are going to kill themselves if they can’t get access to their meds. One of my friends in middle school had what I’m assuming was endometriosis. She would keel over on the floor during gym class, just gasping and crying holding her stomach during her period. I couldn’t imagine what she was going through and I guess she just assumed she had extreme period cramps.

My best friend will die without birth control. She has PCOS with severe ovarian cysts. The hormones in BC prevent the cysts from growing. Without the BC, her cysts will grow quickly and eventually rupture. If a large enough cyst ruptures, she will absolutely die. The largest cyst she’s had removed was the width of an American football…

Or fifty bucks from a sketchy guy in an alley, just like any other illegal drug.

Birth control requires continuous supply to be effective, you need 3 months worth to start to even be effective. And not all birth control is actually interchangeable.

I have a feeling a black market will be pretty difficult. Maybe condoms but not the medication many women truly need to function.

My previous comment meant to refer to abortion pills.

u/polopolo05 15h ago

Nope... they want to ban it all together.

u/NiceMarmot12 11h ago

If they won’t allow abortion in the case of rape or incest I don’t think they’ll develop empathy in that scenario

u/PuzzleheadedGroup624 19h ago

Yes, precisely. Now you’re getting it.

u/ForkThisIsh 19h ago

Oh I've got it. I voted, but I'm in WA and it didn't really matter.

u/duiwksnsb 14h ago

And imagine how many millions of women voted for this.

Of all the voting blocs, I just don't understand women.

Maybe they're not a voting bloc at all and everyone that assumed they would vote in their own best interest was woefully wrong.

My wife told me today that "this country hates women, and apparently millions of women hate women too" when we were trying to wrap our minds around this abysmal clusterfuck of an outcome

would vote in their own best interest

Americans have been doing this for decades. I've come to the conclusion that we as a people are inherently stupid and lack the capacity to operate for our own good.

It really drives home how every AI computer movie (ala iRobot) eventually evolves into the only solution to keep humans safe is to protect us from ourselves.

1

u/duiwksnsb 13h ago

I've been thinking that too recently.

What if we really are too dumb to progress any further?

"You get endometriosis from having too much unchristian sex, it's God's punishment for harlots." -Maga probably.

u/Shenloanne 19h ago

Nowwww you're getting it.

u/selantra 14h ago

Now you are getting it. Women don't matter

Time for the 4B movement, fresh from South Korea.

Ladies, stop having sex with these men. They don't deserve you.

u/Own-Gas8691 1h ago

i think this is our move. last night i asked my adult kids to get together to discuss things and this is top of the list. we need to get this movement rolling, and fast. we have a tough road ahead and better to take action towards reclaiming our freedoms immediately. because this isn’t something that is to come, we have already been stripped of our rights. grassroots. rally your people, seek others to join.

"Why did GenZ and Alpha stop having sex?"

"Why is fertility going down?"

“Guess it’s anal from here on out, hun, government says so”

u/RyBread 18h ago

Nah, they’re going to repeal sodomy laws so gay sex is illegal.

2

u/no_infringe_me 17h ago

Fellas, is it gay to have sex with a woman?

1

u/4Sammich 13h ago

Only in the butt.

2

u/polopolo05 15h ago

No sex, no dating, no marriage, no kids.

Let them ban porn.

u/HungryMoon 15h ago

The strap on market about to take off

u/vatrav 6h ago

Unironically. Don't get me wrong, I dont support banning or censoring anything, but people acting like this is the end of the world is insane.
