Just a reminder for anyone who doesn't know it, the vast majority of Planned Parenthood's work is women's health, not abortions. But the right wing nutters are so hell bent on pushing their religious bullshit on everyone that they would prefer poor women die, or lose even more of a chance of moving out of poverty. Gilead as the goal.

This will not end well for anyone affected. Republicans want a poor uneducated and desperate population and this will certainly help make more of it.
Here’s my c/UnpopularOpinion response ….
This looks right. While I totally disagree with this action, the court is ruling that it was done legally. Unlike so many other destructive actions of this administration, this was not unilateral nor was it stepping in the other branches of government. Congress voted to place conditions on funding.
But that’s their job. And that’s how they’ve always worked. It was a legit process.
By all means keep the focus on voting the fuckers out, but this is purely the Republican Congress. For once, it is not the fault of the executive branch nor the judicial branch nor was it an illegal action. Unethical of course. Harmful to constituents, all the way. Self-righteousness for usurping other people’s rights when they know they are above it, you betcha. But not illegal
Make STDs Great Again!
The Stupid Trump Disease consumes us all.
Got those letters the wrong way. It's TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, anyone who believes him at this point is insane.
I love republicans made up derrangement syndromes for their insanely idiotic frontmen. They did it with G Dubyuh Bush, too. I for one am proud to have the derangement syndrome and hope for no cure.
In their case, "derangement" is the way that the Soviets would declare opposition to be "insane". Meaning, it's purely a political thing they've tried to weaponize against others.
Donvict says or does some crazy unhinged thing, and normal people comment on it, as normal people are prone to doing? The actually insane cult member declares they have "TDS".
So cool that one dickhead has been granted the authority of a king. Just sets policies for the nation and everyone has to suffer.
Its not just one dickhead, he just acts as a lightling rod for all the bad PR. This is a class war, the rich are consolidating power and stealing everything in sight. He is also enabled by the house and senate, they could end this anytime, but they choose not to.
The only way this ends is to remove or very greatly reduce the influece the rich have over our government. Its a hard problem, civilizations have been fighting this problem since roman times.
In the meantime, do everything you can to waste the time and money of rich people and large corporations. Once they have no money, they have no influence.
We can't rely on the courts to keep saving us from stupid legislation. This is a direct result of the big ugly bill.
I’m pretty sure they’re trying to intentionally impoverish white people to induce high birth rates because they’re that racist, stupid, and evil
You almost get this right: populist regimes rely on poor people's votes because poor people tend to be less educated, and less educated people tend vote for populist candidates.
The Trump regime - but also the GOP in general - actively pursues policies that limit people's access to education because it's good for their electoral results - and having unwanted pregnancies, STDs, cervical cancers and spending all your money on healthcare most definitely prevent people from paying for college.
That is, until Trump and his goons rig, disrupt or plain suspend free elections altogether over some made-up reason, which I'm 100% certain they'll attempt to do for the mid-terms.
They don't just need votes. With the clear imperialist designs they have over the Western hemisphere, they want these people to have kids, lots of kids, because they know they're going to need bodies. The whole shit about Greenland and Canada and (probably) colonizing Venezuela, Cuba, and everywhere else in the Americas tells me they want a world war involving every country in the West.
