Shocker: Trump and Barr refuse to defend ban on female genital mutilation

New low for the Trump administration: The Justice Department won't defend a federal ban on the mutilation of girls

Generally speaking, FGM is the medieval practice of restraining young girls and

removing their external female genitals, without anesthesia or antiseptics. Most often the clitoris of young girls is carved out,

it’s a horror show carried out for archaic community, familial, cultural or religious justifications (not exclusively one or the other).

In the United States, half a million girls are at risk for this form of torture

Donald Trump and Bill Barr are refusing to defend the ban in court (https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-administration-decided-not-to-defend-ban-on-female-genital-mutilation-2019-5)?

Qs though the cruel whimsy of the Trump administration hasn’t been disgusting enough, add this to your the list of the Mad King’s most gruesome decisions.

To repeat:

The Trump administration is refusing to defend the national ban on torturing young girls in the most awful and breathtakingly indefensible way imaginable,

depriving innocent victims from enjoying relatively normal lives, depriving them of sexual pleasure, and depriving them of the ability to become pregnant, while sentencing them to lives of pain, despair and psychological torment.

https://www.salon.com/2019/05/14/shocker-trump-and-barr-refuse-to-defend-ban-on-female-genital-mutilation/ (https://www.salon.com/2019/05/14/shocker-trump-and-barr-refuse-to-defend-ban-on-female-genital-mutilation/)

My guess is the white male supremacist Christian Taliban are behind this.

The FGM victims are non-male, non-white, non-Christian, so let their bodies be mutilated. Christ would be pleased.

not pro-life, only pro-birth, and only as a divisive, campaign issue, like immigration.

the pro-birth campaign is aimed at poor, non-white women who can't afford an abortion or peri-natal care, while white women can always get an abortion even after the Repugs make abortion illegal.

GA now makes abortion punishable by life imprisonment or death, even for 11 year old girls.

Looked it up.

The first federal charges of female genital mutilation have been dismissed by a federal judge, whose ruling also declared the U.S. law banning the practice unconstitutional.

In his 28-page decision, U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman said Congress “overstepped its bounds” in prohibiting the practice in 1996, adding that FGM is a “’local criminal activity’ which, in keeping with long-standing tradition and our federal system of government, is for the states to regulate, not Congress.”

Clarence Thomas Invokes Eugenics More Than 60 Times In Tuesday’s Opinion

despite the court’s decision not to address the overarching issue of abortion,

Justice Clarence Thomas seized the opportunity to pen a 20-page concurrence making clear that the court’s decision not to overturn the lower court’s decision “should not be interpreted as agreement,”

before deriding both abortion and birth control as tools of eugenics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics).

In fact, Thomas invoked the term “eugenics” at least 60 times in this concurrence (this author did a search, and the word appears 117 times but appears about half were citations).

A few passages summarizing Thomas’ views on eugenics and abortion/birth control are particularly noteworthy.

First, Thomas correlates the tragic emergence of the eugenics movement in America with the pro-choice movement, writing:

“Put differently, this law and other laws like it promote a State’s compelling interest in preventing abortion from becoming a tool of modern-day eugenics.

The use of abortion to achieve eugenic goals is not merely hypothetical.

The foundations for legalizing abortion in America were laid during the early 20th-century birth-control movement.

That movement developed alongside the American eugenics movement…

Given the potential for abortion to become a tool of eugenic manipulation, the Court will soon need to confront the constitutionality of laws like Indiana’s.”

Thomas then goes on to connect the beliefs of Margaret Sanger, one of Planned Parenthood’s founders, as foundational to all birth control usage, writing:

“Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger recognized the eugenic potential of her cause.

She emphasized and embraced the notion that birth control “opens the way to the eugenist.”

As a means of reducing the “ever increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all,”

Sanger argued that “Birth Control . . . is really the greatest and most truly eugenic method” of “human generation.”

In her view, birth control had been “accepted by the most clear thinking and far seeing of the Eugenists themselves as the most constructive and necessary of the means to racial health.”

Finally,

Thomas claims that abortion is already being wielded for eugenic purposes in America.

He highlights the disproportionately high rate of abortion in African American communities, which Thomas believes,

“suggest that, insofar as abortion is viewed as a method of ‘family planning,’ black people do indeed ‘tak[e] the brunt of the “planning.”‘”

As previously reported by Law&Crime, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg penned a dissent voicing her displeasure (https://lawandcrime.com/supreme-court/justices-ginsburg-and-thomas-duel-in-footnotes-as-supreme-court-upholds-fetal-burial-law/) with Thomas’ concurrence.

https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/clarence-thomas-invokes-eugenics-more-than-60-times-in-tuesdays-opinion/ (https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/clarence-thomas-invokes-eugenics-more-than-60-times-in-tuesdays-opinion/)

god fucking damn, the quality of Repug judges is in the fucking sewer

yes, of course, today's Planned Parent practices eugenics, god fucking dammit

60% of the USA abortions are white people

Yes, blacks abort at a higher rate, but maybe that's due to Repugs and their hate-driven evangelical Christian Taliban reducing or killing poor (black) women's perinatal care, cancer/STD screening, free contraceptives, sex education, and generally SHITHOLE schools.

Justices Ginsburg and Thomas Duel in Footnotes as Supreme Court Upholds Fetal Burial Law

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s short dissent followed simple, straight-forward logic.

Instead of just ruling that the Seventh Circuit had made an error,

the Court should have applied the correct legal standard and conducted the appropriate analysis.

That way, the right outcome – a ruling that the Indiana law was overly burdensome – would emerge, regardless of any errors in lawyering made at the lower court level.

RBG wrote that it was a waste of time to review a case only to sidestep the actual issue at hand on grounds that the parties hadn’t raised the corresponding arguments.

Ginsburg explained that the financial and emotional cost of requiring a woman recovering from an abortion to comply with the state’s burial requirements may very well constitute too high a burden to be legal.

Justice Ginsburg’s footnote:

JUSTICE THOMAS’ footnote, ante, at 1, n. 1, displays more heat than light.

The note overlooks many things:

“This Court reviews judgments, not statements in opinions,”

California v. Rooney, 483 U. S. 307, 311 (1987) (per curiam) (quoting Black v. Cutter Laboratories, 351 U. S. 292, 297 (1956); emphasis added);

a woman who exercises her constitutionally protected right to terminate a pregnancy is not a “mother”;

the cost of, and trauma potentially induced by, a post-procedure require- ment may well constitute an undue burden,

917 F. 3d, at 534–535 (opinion of Wood, C. J.);

under the rational-basis standard applied below,

Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky had no need to marshal evidence that Indiana’s law posed an undue burden, id., at 535.

Stanford Study: Foreign Policy To Restrict Abortion Funding Results In More Abortions

A U.S. foreign policy that cuts money to nongovernmental organizations performing or promoting abortions abroad has actually led to an increase in abortions

abortions increased among women in African countries where NGOs, such as the International Planned Parenthood Federation, were particularly vulnerable to the policy’s requirements.

the Mexico City Policy,

explicitly prohibits U.S. foreign aid from flowing to any NGO that does not agree to abide by the policy’s main condition:

no performing or discussing abortion as a method of family planning, even if just in the form of education or counseling.

When the policy was suspended during Obama’s two terms, the Stanford researchers found that the

upward trend in abortion rates reversed. :lol

“Our research suggests that a policy that is supported by taxpayers ostensibly

wishing to drive down abortion rates worldwide does the opposite,” :lol

GOP-appointed judge blocks North Dakota law that forces doctors to lie that abortions can be ‘reversed’

On Tuesday, a federal judge in North Dakota temporarily blocked (https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/10/politics/judge-blocks-north-dakota-doctors-rule-abortion-medication/) a GOP-sponsored abortion “counseling” law that forces doctors to lie to their patients.

Judge Daniel Hovland, an appointee of President George W. Bush and the Chief Judge for the District of North Dakota, declared that the law is likely unconstitutional and will not survive scrutiny by a higher court.

The law would have mandated that doctors tell patients, among other things, that abortions can be “reversed” halfway through if a woman changes her mind.

“Legislation ... is unsound, misplaced, and would not survive a constitutional challenge under any level of scrutiny,” wrote Hovland.

Anti-abortion activists have pushed the idea that women on this regimen can “reverse” the abortion by skipping the misoprostol and instead taking a gigantic dose of progesterone.

There is no medical research whatsoever to support the idea that this is effective or safe — and in any case,

contrary to the entire premise that there is an epidemic of women regretting their abortions and wanting to undo them, studies have shown (https://slate.com/human-interest/2016/10/the-myth-of-abortion-regret.html) that

95 percent of women who have abortions are confident in their decision.

Texas Law Requires Patients to Bury or Cremate Fetal Tissue. Now, the Fifth Circuit Is Weighing In.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments Thursday in yet another abortion rights case.

This time, it involves a challenge to a Texas law requiring the burial or cremation of fetal and embryonic tissue from most failed pregnancies.

Anti-abortion advocates hope they can get the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to help advance fetal "personhood."

Texas’ law actually reaches further, by including embryonic remains. But that May decision may be just the opening the Fifth Circuit needs.

Fetal and embryonic burial requirements like the ones at issue in Texas became very popular among anti-choice activists and lawmakers following the release in 2017 of

a series of heavily edited videos by the advocacy organization Center for Medical Progress (CMP).

The videos falsely purported to show Planned Parenthood staff members illegally selling fetal tissue.

CMP’s founder David Daleiden is currently on trial (https://www.courthousenews.com/criminal-privacy-hearing-on-undercover-video-by-abortion-foes-begins/) for 15 counts of felony invasion of privacy related to his role in producing, filming, and distributing the videos.

, in addition to

Texas and Indiana, states like
Arkansas,
Louisiana, and
North Carolina

all passed measures requiring fetal and embryonic remains to be buried or cremated—

treated, in other words, the same way as the remains of born children.

The intent of these laws is crystal clear:

to help advance fetal “personhood” across the the country, even incrementally, as a way to recriminalize abortion.

As Republican Legislators Seek to Ban Abortion,

Voters in Every Single State Reject That Change

A survey (https://www.prri.org/research/legal-in-most-cases-the-impact-of-the-abortion-debate-in-2019-america/) released today by the Public Religion Research Institute asked more than 40,000 Americans what they think about abortion in telephone interviews, including cellphone interviews.

The majority,

54 percent, believe that abortion should be legal in most or all cases,

while 40 percent of Americans think abortion should be illegal in most or all cases.

By polling so many people (between 20 and 40 times the usual number of respondents in a national poll), the PRRI was

able to get data for every single state,

and in none of them do more than a quarter of respondents think that abortion should be illegal in all cases.

The outright abortion bans enacted and temporarily stayed

in Alabama and Missouri, and currently under consideration in Tennessee,

are completely at odds with public sentiment in those states.

Since 2014, when PRRI conducted a similar survey,

opinions on abortion have remained steady with 55 percent of Americans believing abortion should be legal in most or all cases.

https://thehill.com/hilltv/what-americas-thinking/405391-morning-consult-reporter-there-is-a-split-among-the-gop-on-roe

Republicans are divided on the issue of abortion, according to a new American Barometer poll, conducted by Hill.TV and the HarrisX polling company.

Twenty percent of GOP respondents said the procedure should be illegal under all circumstances, while 51 percent said it should be legal in limited cases, such as rape, incest and when the life of the mother is threatened.

Another 20 percent of Republicans said it should be legal up until the third trimester, and only 9 percent said it should be legal under all circumstances.

The official GOP platform calls for Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion, to be overturned, and few Republican election officials support abortion rights in all cases.

"Republicans, traditionally the more conservative on this issue, are evenly split on whether it should be law. I read that as for many voters, this is territory that cannot be overturned," Morning Consult senior reporter Joanna Piacenza told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking."

Democrats are also somewhat divided on the issue, with 12 percent saying abortion should be illegal under all circumstances, while 32 percent said it should be legal in limited circumstances, such as rape, incest, and life of the mother.

Thirty-one percent said it should be legal up until the third trimester, while 25 percent said it should always be legal.

The American Barometer was conducted on August 31 to September 1 among 1,000 registered voters. The sampling margin of error was plus or minus 3.1 percent.

Trump Restrictions on Fetal Tissue Research Deal a Blow to Medical Science

A new federal policy tied to anti-abortion politics will hamper potentially groundbreaking work

a new Trump administration policy, announced last month (https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2019/06/05/statement-from-the-department-of-health-and-human-services.html) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which

ends some federally funded research that involves fetal tissue from elective abortions and

puts stringent restrictions on the rest.

The new policy eliminates all research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) — the chief federal body on medical research — that uses fetal tissue from elective abortions.

NIH scientists can use up the material they currently have, but are not allowed to acquire any new tissue.

NIH-funded research at universities and other organizations that involves fetal tissue from elective abortions will also come under additional scrutiny.

Closure of women's health clinics linked to lower cervical cancer screening and higher mortality

Following the closure of nearly 100 women's health clinics across the United States from 2010 to 2013, fewer women were screened for cervical cancer, more women were diagnosed with advanced stages of the disease and mortality rates rose.

Findings from a new analysis combining several nationwide datasets were presented at the 61st Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).

The data are troubling. Reducing the availability of cervical cancer screening has very real, negative consequences for women.

Cervical cancer is largely preventable because of the wide availability of the HPV vaccine and screening that can detect precancerous lesions.

The pressing issue now is to ensure that all women have access to screening."

clinics closed between 2010 and 2013 due primarily to changes in funding structures (e.g., regulations for Title X funding) and the passage of laws that regulated standards at these clinics.

"As these clinics closed over time, it appears that a fewer women were getting screened, and this trend appears to be associated with a greater number of women ultimately dying from cervical cancer,"

Overall, cervical cancer survival rates improved in states without clinic closures

but dropped in those with a reduction in the number of clinics.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20190926/Closure-of-womens-health-clinics-linked-to-lower-cervical-cancer-screening-and-higher-mortality.aspx (https://www.news-medical.net/news/20190926/Closure-of-womens-health-clinics-linked-to-lower-cervical-cancer-screening-and-higher-mortality.aspx)

the so-called pro-life evangelical so-called Christian Taliban don't care if poor women suffer and die from cancer (and venereal diseases not detected) as long as the poor women are forced to give birth for lack of contraception and abortion.

Anti-Choice Activists Fighting a Losing Battle Against Medication Abortion

Medication abortion is a gamechanger for pregnant people, particularly when other forms of abortion are difficult to access or even unavailable.

With the recent news that almost 40 percent of the abortions in this country in 2017 were by pill rather than surgical procedure, now is a great time to appreciate the seemingly unstoppable revolution this medical advance has brought about.

“We’re doing medication abortions with nurse practitioners all over the state, and it’s particularly important in the mountains.”

patients in the region “can come in on the day the nurse practitioner is there, which is almost every day, and be taken care of.”

the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals :lol

blatantly ignored precedent

by ruling that a Louisiana law identical to one declared unconstitutional in the landmark Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt could take effect.

That law threatens to close all but one clinic in the state.

The Court could have corrected the Fifth Circuit’s mistake

by clearly recognizing and respecting the precedent set in Whole Woman’s Health.

By scheduling the case for argument, the question becomes

whether the Court will adhere to or throw out the precedent set three years ago.

Fundamental to Repug / right wing / evangelical misogyny aka "women haters" is denying contracepion and perinatal care to poor (black, brown) women.

The Maternal Mortality Lie That Ensures Women Will Keep Dying (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/10/23/1894584/-The-Maternal-Mortality-Lie-That-Ensures-Women-Will-Keep-Dying)

The United States has the worst maternal mortality rate in the developed world (https://georgiabirth.org/blogcontent/2019/2/10/things-you-need-to-know-about-the-maternal-mortality-rate-and-the-collapsing-maternity-care-system).

As other wealthy countries have seen maternal mortality plummet to nearly zero,

we are the only developed nation whose maternal mortality has risen in the past two decades (https://www.wbur.org/commonhealth/2019/05/06/maternal-death-march-for-moms).

In some states, the situation is even more dire.

Georgia’s maternal mortality rate rivals that of Iran, Iraq, and 100 other countries.

An American woman giving birth today is now 50% more likely to die than her mother was a generation ago.

Maternal mortality in Finland is virtually unheard of; a tonsilectomy is more dangerous.

Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers act to reduce access to contraceptives and slash maternal health funding.

Pro-choice activists have rightly drawn attention to maternal mortality in recent years. But as knowledge of the issue spreads, so too does

a lie that kills women:

Giving birth is inherently dangerous, and high maternal mortality is inevitable.

Wrapped up in this lie is often a second, which is that

women die because they are unhealthy or make bad lifestyle choices.

Depending which study you believe, between

60 (https://www.modernhealthcare.com/safety-quality/cdc-3-out-5-maternal-deaths-are-preventable) and 85% (https://www.newschannel5.com/news/report-85-percent-of-tennessee-maternal-deaths-preventable) of maternal deaths are preventable.

No matter how you parse the data, one thing is certain:

a whole lot of women are dying because we have chosen not to do enough to fix maternal mortality.

Moscow Mitch refuses to reauthorize VAWA,

offers Ernst's NRA-friendly, anti-woman replacement

The House passed a reauthorization (https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/04/politics/house-passes-violence-against-women-act-reauthorization/index.html) of it back in early April, and since then it's been languishing in Moscow Mitch McConnell's legislative graveyard.

Sen. Joni Ernst, who spent much of her last week before Thanksgiving recess blocking Democratic efforts (https://www.politico.com/news/2019/11/19/joni-ernst-chuck-schumer-vawa-election-071565) to bring the bill to the floor.

That's because she's been working on own version of the bill, part of her reelection campaign.

One that's very friendly to McConnell's masters at the NRA and very unfriendly to Native and LGBTQ women.

The House reauthorization contains a provision that eliminates the "boyfriend loophole" by expanding a current ban on firearm purchases for all abusive romantic partners.

The current ban applies to spouses or formerly married partners convicted of domestic violence or who are under a restraining order.

The expansion would include dating or live-in partner who were not legally married.

The House bill also makes it explicit that grant money under VAWA can be used by recipients' staff to train how to respond to and stop discrimination against LGBTQ victims of violence.

Ernst's version of the bill does none of these things (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/violence-against-women-act-senate-republicans-native-americans-lgbtq-guns_n_5dd578ade4b010f3f1d17bbc) and

makes the law worse in a significant way.

It would provide less protection for Native American women from their abusers,

weakening tribal courts and

infringe on tribal sovereignty by putting restrictions on tribal courts.

It rolls back tribes' jurisdiction to prosecute crimes by non-Native people who abuse Native American women on tribal lands.

"Placing paternalistic restrictions on tribal courts in the name of 'due process' is nothing more than a disguise for prejudice."

Ernst and McConnell made the bill—again, the Violence Against Women Act—

unfriendly to women in order

to appease the NRA, white supremacists, and anti-LGBTQ bigots.

That it would actually endanger more women

After a temporary extension of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) of 1994 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/103rd-congress/house-bill/3355) lapsed earlier this year, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst met a largely bipartisan effort to reauthorize it

When faced with a choice between acting preventatively to protect victims and appeasing the National Rifle Association,

Ernst clutched onto the NRA like a newborn baby suckling to her mother’s breast.

The House bill would restrict the gun rights of people convicted of domestic violence against relatives or spouses

and extend the same restriction to those convicted of stalking or abusing people they are dating or those targetted in temporary protective orders.

The National Rifle Association predictably took issue with that protection, and the

end result was no mention of guns whatsoever in Ernst’s bill.

Leave it to the NRA to defy common sense, and

leave it to Ernst, a white woman, to decide she knows best for indigenous sexual assault survivors seeking justice.

Ernst’s bill does little to address a call from tribal leaders seeking more say-so regarding how crimes on their land would be prosecuted when involving someone who isn’t Native American.

“Ernst’s bill is based on the assumption that the protections for Native victims in VAWA 2013 must be rolled back because tribal courts are not capable of fairly administering justice,"

"Since 2013, tribes have clearly demonstrated this assumption to be false.

She added,

tribal courts prosecuting non-Indian defendants provide the same—if not more—due process than state and federal courts.

“Placing paternalistic restrictions on tribal courts in the name of 'due process' is nothing more than a disguise for prejudice,”

“Legislation that strips tribal courts of their inherent authority to protect victims in their communities based on prejudice alone must be stopped."

Ohio state Rep. John Becker worked with a conservative anti-choice lobbyist while writing a bill that would

allow insurance companies to cover the

reimplantation of ectopic pregnancies — nonviable pregnancies in which a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus.
There is no procedure for reimplanting such a pregnancy, of course, but that didn’t stop Becker from imagining there could be.

The bill prohibits insurers from covering abortion services,

but provides an exception for a procedure “intended to reimplant” an ectopic pregnancy in a woman's uterus.

Becker told the newspaper

he never researched whether re-implanting an ectopic pregnancy into a woman's uterus was a viable medical procedure before including it in the bill.
.
"I heard about it over the years," Becker said. “I never questioned it or gave it a lot of thought.

American Christians have the right to “kill all males” who support abortion, same-sex marriage or communism

Shea insisted that his writings were merely (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/23/us/matt-shea-washington-extremism.html) “a summary of church sermons on Old Testament war that could help place current events in historical context.”

And so, the Washington GOP did not call for Shea to resign or expel him from its House caucus. :lol of course not. :lol

Shea discussed targetting anti-fascist activists for surveillance, harassment, and violence.

One of Shea’s interlocutors, online radio personality Jack Robertson, offered this prescription for

the treatment of a female antifa protester:

“Fist full of hair,

and face slam,

to a Jersey barrier.

Treat em like communist revolutionaries.

Then shave her bald with a K-Bar USMC field knife.”

The Republican lawmaker replied, “Ok. What BG [background] checks need to be done. Give me the list.”

did not feel that Shea’s actions required his expulsion from government. :lol

Shea

“as a leader in the Patriot Movement,

planned, engaged in and promoted a total of three armed conflicts

of political violence against the United States Government

in three states outside the state of Washington over a three-year period.”

This Change to the ACA Could Affect Abortion Coverage for 3 Million People

Those who have health care through the ACA exchanges will have to submit a separate premium payment for abortion coverage, an administrative requirement that could result in people losing coverage.

a rule Friday designed to create administrative burdens for insurance plans on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchanges that include abortion care,

the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued a final rule (https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2019-27713.pdf) that

will complicate the process of billing and payment for ACA insurance plans that include abortion coverage.

People who have health care through a state exchange will have to submit a separate premium payment for abortion coverage,

an added administrative requirement that could result in lost coverage for those who fail to follow the administration’s regulation.

Trump Administration To Make ACA Enrollees Pay $1 Billion In Order To Bill Abortion Separately

Starting in June, thanks to a new and incredibly stupid rule from the Trump administration, those who get their health care plans through the ACA will be getting two bills each month.

One bill for their regular insurance, and another, separate bill just for "abortion coverage."

This "abortion coverage" bill will amount to no less than $1 per enrollee and is mostly symbolic as insurance companies do not set aside a specific amount of money to be used on certain procedures.

This whole thing -- they claim -- is meant to make the ACA compliant with the Hyde Amendment, a garbage law preventing federal funds from going towards abortion.

Since some people get subsidies, no one can truly know whether the money covering their abortions comes from the money that they have personally paid towards their coverage or from the subsidies.

This way, people who don't understand how insurance works can pretend that all of the money covering abortion comes directly from that $1 bill policy holders will get to pay -- separately -- every month.

In reality, it is meant to piss people off that they're having to pay for abortions if they don't need or believe in them -- and they have to do so inconveniently.

Naturally, this has made some forced birth enthusiasts very happy.

Americans can now see and try to avoid complicity by choosing plans consistent with their consciences."

They could also do that before.
What this also means is that it will now cost insurance companies more to offer insurance that covers abortions than it would otherwise,

because billing costs money.

It does not happen by magic! That is extra work for someone, for which they must be paid.

And the fact is, since insurance companies exist to make money (not to be glorious and benevolent dispensaries of "choice" or whatever line it is they're trying to sell these days),

many of them will almost definitely choose not to cover abortion at all.

Those that do will pass that cost on to you, the consumer. Health and Human Services states that this cost will come to over a billion dollars.

The insurance industry has said the changes would create huge burdens for them, including changing their billing software, managing double the payments and dealing with confusion from customers.

HHS wrote that the total cost to insurers, exchanges and enrollees would reach $546.1 million in 2020 and then stabilize at $232.1 million in 2021, $230.7 million in 2022 and $229.3 million in 2023 and subsequent years.

That is over $1 billion in four years. Simply for some symbolic billing.

GOP Lawmaker Plotted Insurrections to Establish Christian State

but Repug shitbag Shea is approved to remain in the Repug Congress

Immediately after the report was released, Rep. J.T. Wilcox, the Republican minority leader of the House, said Shea “has been suspended from any role in the House Republican Caucus.”

“He should resign,” Wilcox wrote on Twitter. “He cannot use House Republican staff, he cannot meet with the caucus, his office will be moved.” Shea’s name and picture were removed from the House GOP website. Shea said he would not step down, calling the investigation a “sham.”

“It’s an all boys’ school,” he said, indicating the teenagers standing around them, and adding:

“You should hang around!

You could have a lot of fun with these boys,

Woman behind ‘Roe v. Wade’ said in a ‘deathbed confession’ that conservatives paid her to lie about her conversion

admitted in a deathbed confession that

she faked her conversion later in life to oppose legal abortion.

Norma McCorvey, who died in 2017, became known as Jane Roe after suing for the right to get a legal and safe abortion in Texas, made

the stunning confession (https://www.thedailybeast.com/jane-roe-confesses-anti-abortion-conversion-all-an-act-paid-for-by-the-christian-right) in the upcoming FX documentary “AKA Jane Roe,”

McCorvey agrees she was “the big fish,” but admits she also got something out of the arrangement.

“I think it was a mutual thing,” she told the filmmaker.

“I took their money and

they took me out in front of the cameras and

told me what to say. That’s what I’d say.”

“I’m a good actress,” she added. “Of course, I’m not acting now.”

But she makes clear in the film, which is out May 22, that she hadn’t really changed her ways.

“I wonder how many abortions Donald Trump is responsible for,” McCorvey said in the film.

“I’m sure he’s lost count, if he can count that high.”

“If a young woman wants to have an abortion—fine,” she added.

“That’s no skin off my ass. :lol

You know, that’s why they call it ‘choice.’

It’s your choice.”

Def a baby no matter how hard you try to redefine the word or play make believe. Want to know what else can't live without a woman/man/human to take care of them; babies even outside of the womb.

With that said, go abort all your spawns please! We don't need more dumbfucks like yourself in this world bro. :tu

Idgaf what people do with themselves yet I think it's disgusting to prop abortion up as some pinnacle achievement of society. You've got to be demented to believe the nonsense you and others spew about "clump of cells" and "fetus"....

Call it whatever you want.

In the end it comes down to bodily autonomy.

Answer this:

Is it ok for the government to force you to let other people use your body to sustain their lives?

If I need a blood transfusion to live, should the government force you to give it to me?
