According to the Republican lawmaker, human women don’t need any more bodily rights than those that are afforded to certain reptiles and birds.

As you’ve probably heard by now, within the next few months, the Supreme Court is expected toending the national right to an abortion. If that happens, the medical procedure will very likely be severely restricted or just outright banned in about half the country.

Speaking on the Senate floor, Daines opined: “If you were to take or destroy the eggs of a sea turtle—now I said the eggs, not the hatchlings that’s also a penalty but the eggs—the criminal penalties are severe: up to a $100,000 fine and a year in prison. Now why? Why do we have laws in place that protect the eggs of a sea turtle or the eggs of eagles? Because, when you destroy an egg, you’re killing a preborn baby sea turtle or preborn baby eagle.

First paragraph. Why refer to pregnant women as 'pregnant people.' The only people who can get pregnant are women. Also, shouldn't non pregnant women also get to decide what to do with their bodies

When the true reptiles are the ones that are trying to push their will onto others. I thought the Bible stated that a person was given free agency when born to choose to believe in God and follow his teachings or not to believe in him. The GOP want to rule overall vote blue 🌊🇺🇲

According to Vanity Fair, you can't determine what a 'human' woman is. So, therefore, you should have no comments on things you know nothing about, like what a woman is.
