In 2006, when I was about 6 years, my mother, sadly, suffered a miscarriage. It devestated our family. This also marked a turning point in my life as my parents divorced not long after. It's stories like these that make me wonder what would have happened to my dear mother after her miscarriage if the same fundamentalist theocrats were in power then. Would they have arrested her? Would she have died under the same atrocious conditions that Ms. Barnica had to suffer? What will happen to my wife if, goodness forbid, something similar happens to her? This story highlights why, five days from now, you MUST vote. We have make that incidents like these don't repeat. Don't just do it for your sake. Do it for the sake of those dearest and nearest to you.

This headline pissed me off before I realized it was abortion-ban related. Now I’m fucking livid.
“Those damn immigrants taking all our healthcare.”
This is worse than 'Thoughts and Prayers'.
A lot of elected officials - and their supporters - are accessories to the killing .
This is more like armed police waiting around outside a crime scene and actively preventing any attemp . . .
Everything is bigger in Texas...
That's bad.
Republican ideas made into law killed her.
What the actual fuck. This is horrendous.
Pro-life crowd, I thought you were supposed to keep life, not end it.
Now there's a man who's a widow, a child without a mother, and a lady who died all for literally nothing.
Fuckin' hell.
Hurting women is part of the platform. This is not even an 'unintended' consequence.
It's 2024. What the fuck america
Don’t blame America for this. Most of us want legal, safe abortion laws. It’s a disgruntled minority of hyper-religious whack jobs that have been handed outrageous power in our top court by a narcissistic sociopath that are to blame.
Evangelicals Christians = American Taliban.
