Do you own your body?

I agree, which is why I always say "anti-choice" or "pro-forced-birth". "Pro-Life" is both inaccurate and offensive to those of us who respect a woman's right to make her own decisions about her own life. (It does have the added benefit of really pissing them off, but that's not actually why I do it.)
Their concern is for the life of the father’s sperm, ergo pro-jizz.
 
Don’t know, don’t care. Nonsensical bill. Contraceptives are not being banned and are widely available.
The vote was 228 in favor (all Dems and 8 Reps) and 195 against "Right To Contraception" legislation. The "right to contraception" as it stands right now is the result of three Supreme Court precedents (right to contraception itself, right to purchase contraception out of wedlock, and right for minors to purchase contraception). As last year's Extreme Court showed, "stare decisis" and "precedents" were 'advisory in nature only' and "Justice" Alito in particular looks askance at precedent. "Justice" Thomas invited states to ban contraception, and four states already have banned all prescription contraception for Medicaid recipients.

The woman who proposed this obviously wants to control other women’s bodies. Men in the MO legislature have even less control over their own bodies.

“Proper attire for gentlemen shall be business attire, including coat, tie, dress trousers, and dress shoes or boots,”

Everyone in the legislature should have the right to bare arms.

House Republicans are taking early action on abortion with their new majority, approving two measures Wednesday that make clear they want further restraints after the Supreme Court overruled the federal right to abortion last year.
Government small enough to fit inside of a uterus.
“You don’t have freedom, true liberty, unless government protects your most fundamental right, your right to live,” said new House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who led debate on the measures.
Except if you're a person who needs an abortion. Then you're an acceptable casualty.

Starting Tuesday, access to reproductive health care is likely to command fresh scrutiny before the Republican-controlled Texas Capitol, where new restrictions are on the table in the first session since a stringent statewide abortion ban took effect.

More GOP obsessions.

Anyone who tries to deny, defend or rationalize this bullshit is a liar and an idiot.

And “republicans” had the gall to vote for condemning violence against Pro-Forced Birth centers while committing legislative acts of violence against women.

JFC

SAD!!!

The back story to this kerfluffle is amusing. This whole episode is the result of the (unelected) clerk of the Missouri legislature who was quite upset with elected representatives who were women of color wearing designer clothes that cost more than he earned in a month in the House chamber.,

He had been trying for the last five terms to get someone...anyone...to introduce legislation to make those uppity women conform to what HE thought was appropriate. Not surprisingly, he was given lip service and turned down by House members year after year, as even Missouri Republicans realized what a shitstorm this change would provoke...

until this year, when a single battleaxe frump of a woman agreed with him, solely seeking to curry favor with the clerk. One single clueless representative.....What could go wrong?

As it turns out, everything.

Once that genie was out of the bottle, the Republicans closed ranks to "protect" one of their own, at the cost of public ridicule.

And we've been laughing at their pathetic attempts to codify dress standards (for women only, natch) ever since.
 

My favorite part:

What the PRO Act does say is that politicians — any politician —has no right to take their ethical decisions and values and to decide for you that you also will have to abide by that politician's personal beliefs and values,” McEwen said.

Actual basic rights being protected by Democrats from republican efforts to destroy them.

Minnesota will now become a baby killing factory, you lefty loons have much to be proud of. So much for babies in the third trimester being protected under the constitution. SAD!

Abortion doesn't involve babies.

Nothing will change in Minnesota except women won't be prosecuted for making medical decisions about their own bodies.

As opposed to any large gathering and a nut job with a gun? So worried about life eh? That’s more SAD.

Health of a woman and her medical decisions are hers to make. It is a tough decision and much more than you would ever even try to understand.

But those who clearly need mental health help can’t be kept from obtaining a gun to slaughter countless people- many who have had no direct impact on the person.

That decision takes less work than a woman who has to make the tough choice for her health, yet you can’t seem to do it. Clearly, SAD.

"The modern updated version of the Hippocratic Oath without referencing abortion directly, the doctors who take this oath—if they're honest—are still committing themselves to the preservation of human life, which traces all the way back to conception. The fact that countless abortionists have blithely bound themselves to this oath doesn't negate its original intent. We can change the language of historic moral documents—to accommodate an ethically-suspect practice, but we can’t change the morality itself. Simply put, killing an innocent human being is not a morally-acceptable cure to unwanted pregnancy".

An abortion doesn't involve a baby.

A fetus is part of a woman.

Fetuses are not human beings in any sense of the word, how many times have you been told this? Yet you still don't understand...fucking dumbass American!

I can't imagine letting this hysterical perspective guide policy creation and implementation.
