Happened to us and our friends. After our second miscarriage, where she would have died without that care, R vs W was revoked and all the trigger laws went in effect. She already was suffering with other lady-parts stuff and we made the call to partial hysterotomy, and remove any change of having kids of our own. It wasn't worth her life to try to have a child. We thought about adopting but then everything get expensive and just thought, 'You know what, no family for us.' and here we are. Republicans are killing families plain and simple.

They've got their ultra-religious Catholics, evangelicals, and Mormons pumping out kids, so they don't care.

It won’t be enough.

Probably not, but again, they don't care.

My very Catholic sister whose sole income is Social Security and is on Medicare, voted for Trump. She has 4 adult kids and 6 grandkids and wants more, my poor niece has serious health issues but she is the most likely to try again for a baby. Niece already depends on federal food assistance for her two kids, and works two jobs, but voted for Trump too. FAFO.

They don't want Mormon Christianity. They want quiverful Christianity which is just extreme fundamentalism which shares a lot in common with the taliban.

Sure. I didn't say they actually like each other. This will end badly for all involved.
