All abortion bans punish women and girls because they criminizalize health care, forcing them to carry fetuses to term. But Georgia will now imprison them for life or execute them for an abortion. Unconstitutional, pseudoscientific, misogynist garbage. slate.trib.al/qRc3dOM
As many a woman could explain to us men, a six-week abortion ban is a complete abortion ban. The men writing these bills know only enough about female anatomy so that they can control female sexuality and limit women’s rights. This is why we need to get wise and speak up on this.
“Heartbeat” laws and other forms of abortion bans are written to subjugate women of color disproportionately, as well. You will see more black women going to prison in Georgia because of this new law, which I’m sure won’t bother Brian Kemp. Fewer votes to suppress, after all.
This is a clear gamble to get to abortion bans to this polluted Supreme Court and finally get Roe reversed, I realize that. It might even work, and a lot of women would go to prison or die as a result. We live in increasingly pivotal times.
You should read Alabama native @AlexMorrisNY on her home state’s terrible abortion ban, which may be the most restrictive legislation yet to come, and its disproportionate effects on women of color. rol.st/2ZWm6ru
