We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

To highlight how absolutely stupid this bill is, it sounds like it would outlaw menstruation and nocturnal emissions.

Land of the free.

Edit: it sounds like this is intentionally facetious to point out the absurdity of other pro-life bills.

It's really telling how much the Overton window in the US has shifted that you thought this was sincere to start with.

Nah, it ahows you how fast people are to comment without reading the article.

TBH it's more that I have a naive work ethic and assume someone performing such a serious and impactful job would only do so sincerely, but I agree.

Menstruation is already outlawed if out includes an unimplanted but fertilized egg.

It's just very hard to prove.

Uh, yeah?

If your weiner can't behave when you are AFK it should be in jail!

I would love to outlaw menstruation too but my fucking body won't listen to me

It respects the law.

Didn't you hear? Our bodies answer directly to the government now

Careful, that post could be used against you in the court of law!

Yes, correct, it is as absurd as pro-life ideas.
