Kavanaugh Would Make "Personhood" Constitutional & The Law Of The Land.

I "personhood" becomes constitutional under this POTUS everything would change for women dramatically. About the only forms of birth control left would be condoms or abstinence. The "Handmaid's Tale" would then be pretty much a reality. The justice system would then have to police the reproduction activities of the public. Women would be singled out in particular. Every failed pregnancy would have to be scrutinized for criminality. We could not imagine how stark the situation in the US would get.

And we would see the return of adultery laws and sex laws. Cohabitation could become illegal and sex outside of marriage would be suspect. Of course, if you are a Republican or someone favored or rich the authorities would look the other. way. Even divorce could be regulated or disappear. We would go back to "fault" divorce.

I could be overspeaking the horrors to come because the religious right would have their way. And their mostly secret desires would become out n the open. Then it would be too late.

In the end discrimination, persecution and outlawing would return to the LGBT community. The aim is to drive homosexuality out of our society using the justice system. Then we would look like Nazi Germany in that regard. If you look at the context of Obama's speech he slammed by inference the GOP for NOT calling the Nazis just like Trump.

being pregnant all the time, and the men who benefit from that, have some splainin' to do. If that means they had an abortion every time the pill or whatever did it's job. How the hell can they even take that personhood crap seriously?

Most of the public is not truly aware how such a law would so profoundly change everything for the far worst. Many women would die from problem pregnancies because NO measures could be take that would even remotely potentially harm the fetus. All measures to protect a woman would be illegal.

I lived it, I remember it. For years have been telling young women to not take for granted their way of life today, there are many MEN who will try to take your rights away. I hope now they start to believe me.
