Legislators have been lying to you. They’re coming for birth control and IVF.
Fugitive slave act. You heard me.
The morality police.
If TN forces victim/survivors to give birth, the rapists can have parental rights to that child.
In Tennessee, § 36-1-113, in order for the termination of the rapist’s parental rights, the rapist must be convicted of rape.

What you didn't do to bury me
But you didn't know I was a goddamn seed
You don't scare me, I am of the earth
So tired of your empire
Blind men only set the world on fire
Sad you can't see it
You brought the flame, here comes the phoenix
You make me stronger
Hand me my armor

Will Brewer would see your daughter sterilized
Admitting out loud, women’s very lives are secondary to these men’s goals of forcing children who have been raped to give birth, even when the mother is a child themselves in elementary school.
They want that baby, even if it kills you, the mother, in 5th grade.

The men passing the laws will simply travel out of state to take care of any abortion needs they themselves might require when impregnating their mistresses, or your minor children.
Right, Senator? @DesJarlaisTN04

Right, Lt Governor? @ltgovmcnally
You want to meet the groomers?
Look to the GOP, that’s where you find them employed, & trafficking children.
Right to life? Right to traffic, rape and murder your babies. That’s their spokesman, Ruben Verastigui, currently serving 12 years in prison.
