Woman suing Texas over abortion ban vomits on the stand in emotional reaction during hearing

Three plaintiffs testified about the trauma they experienced carrying nonviable pregnancies.
Horrible laws written mostly by men against women. Men who will never and have never been affected by what they are prohibiting.
It's so gross and infuriating.
Even if it did affect them through someone they knew, the people writing the laws can afford to circumvent them. Make no mistake, these people do get abortions banned or not.
This is NOT a men vs. women issue. It's a conservatives vs. sane people issue. Joe Biden didn't take away abortion access and Amy Coney Barrett did.
It's an us vs the patriarchy problem. Which doesn't mean the same as men vs women.
I kinda disagree. Patriarchal laws and social norms hurt men as well. In this case, I'm sure the men in her life were negatively affected (not to the same degree of course).
Don't tell me what to do.
Specifically, laws written by straight, white, Republican men, for the sole purpose of gaining power over everyone who's not straight, and everyone who's not white, and everyone who's not Republican, and everyone who's not male... no matter how cruel the effects of the laws are. This is the actual Republican platform. In the pursuit of the 'right' people telling the 'wrong' people what to do, and in the pursuit of keeping the 'wrong' people from telling the 'right' people what to do, anything goes. Hypocrisy, lies, crime, election fraud, subverting courts, coups, false patriotism, false piety, terrorism, even outright murder... anything goes.
Know the enemy, spread the word to your friends and family (and maybe further).
Just another Monday
Even though you're right, I think this sentiment minimizes the horrific things the American christian right is doing.
I keep seeing multiple variations of this comment on every single lemmy post about christian conservatives. Idk if it's like an astroturfing thing or what, but it normalizes these kind of fascist acts. We should be shocked. We should be surprised and outraged and insulted. The minute we're not is when it becomes normal. And we know that's dangerous af because we're already watching it happen.
Have you SEEN an anti-abortion rally? LOTS of women.
Men are the ones making the laws. And they have no idea about the biology. Take the politician from Ohio for example, who suggested that an ectopic pregnancy should be reimplanted into the uterus.
