I just had what I believe might actually be a genius idea to put an end to GOP war on women once and for all.
Let's start with the definition of the word abortion "Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus" (continued)
Some abortions are medical procedures performed by medical professionals. When a pregnancy is lost by other means, it's called a 'spontaneous abortion' (medical term for miscarriage.) (continued)
There are many causes of spontaneous abortion (sa) & LOTS of people aid & abet these. This article covers the top ten causes of fetal death. I'll summarize those (see next post) churchandstate.org.uk/2013/08/pro-li…
1. Natural Causes: It's estimated that 50 - 75% of all pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion during the first 30 days of pregnancy, most often before a woman ever realizes she's pregnant.
What could reduce this 'heartbreaking holocaust of death in microscopic cell clumps?'
The most obvious answer to that question is access to birth control, something the right wing consistently restricts a woman's access to. By denying women access to safe & affordable contraception, Republicans aid & abet both medical & spontaneous abortions. (See next)
2. Gun Violence
A case can be made that people who manufacturer, buy, sell & trade guns are responsible for a massive number of 'induced abortions' Also all politicians who have helped put guns in the hands of every violent criminal mass shooter, terrorist etc NO QUESTIONS ASKED
3. WAR
Anyone who has ever supported a war has aided & abetted in killing the unborn - the born too
4. Poor maternal health at the time of conception.
"The single most important factor for a healthy pregnancy is a healthy mother." Politicians who have played a role in the declining health of women have absolutely aided & abetted in the deaths of many 'unborn people.'
5. Violence against women is a leading cause of death in unborn people. Every last politician & cop who has failed to protect women from the violence committed against them by abusive husbands & boyfriends has aided & abetted in fetal death. It's a FACT.
6. Lack of Prenatal Healthcare: “Babies of mothers who do not get prenatal care are 3x more likely to have a low birth weight & 5x more likely to die...” GOP politicians are guilty of denying healthcare to pregnant women resulting in loss of life
7. Toxins in Air, Water and Food: There are so many guilty GOP donors & leaders to go after for their participation in causing death to the unborn
8. Republicans who deny poor women access to healthy food are also responsible for causing death to unborn people.
9. Socio-Economic Conditions - every GOP rep who opposes equal pay for women, who labors to keep wages below the poverty level, who refuses to spend tax dollars on safe housing programs etc... can & should be sued for their role in these & other lost lives.
The article is from 2013 so a lot of the information should be updated. Still I think using the medical definition of abortion & the leading causes of spontaneous & non induced abortion, a boat load of lawsuits should be filed against GOP donors & leaders for aiding & abetting.
Imagine if victims of the GOP's anti-woman policies came forward to tell their stories... It's not about collecting reward money. It's about confronting the #TexasTaliban with truth & forcing them to face their own guilt. #TexasHatesWomen & the fruit of that hate is death
Is there a limit on the number of people who can sue a single person for the #AbortionBounty payoff? Can a million of us report @TedCruz & will he have to pay every one us $10K for each instance of guilt?
Another angle that could be taken is to look at the statistics on why women choose not to carry a pregnancy to term. In many cases there are medical conditions which could be the result of policies/practices listed above.
In cases of non-medically necessary abortion, the number one reason cited by women who choose to end a pregnancy is economic conditions/lack of money. GOP's anti-woman policies are likely to factor in there as well.
There are also cases of rape & incest, sexual predation. Every politician & preacher & cop who refused to protect women & children from sexual predators bears a burden of guilt in those abortions as well.
What if we sued the RNC because their former finance chair is accused of aiding, abetting & funding abortion? chicagotribune.com/nation-world/c…

Letter from a fetus:
Dear Republicans, tomorrow I get born, and I know I won't matter to you anymore after that so I wanted to write today, before I take my first breath.
See I am safe & warm & provided for here.
But tomorrow I won't be safe or warm or provided for anymore.
Tomorrow I'll need you so much more than I needed you today. It will be cold out there. There will be so many, many things that could hurt me and cause me pain.
I will have a face tomorrow.
I will have a skin color.
I will have a gender.
I will have a mind to educate & a soul to nurture.
I know tomorrow you will have a million reasons to hate & exclude & reject & despise me, so can I ask you a favor?
Don't save me.
I'm already saved, since I have never been born and I have no sin.
