(16,978 posts)There would be no one in Mississippi who lived more than 50 miles from an abortion clinic, and the abortions would be free to all. I dislike fundies so much that I would do this just to piss them off. Just thinking about it puts a big smile on my face.

(2,010 posts)The Ohio GOP has used Ohio as a testing ground for these laws. The trap laws have been enacted and signed by our Governor John Kasich, who believes he will be president. What has happened in Ohio has received very little attention nationally. Women have protested, but it has not slowed the vile monsters from proposing even more draconian anti-women laws. Recently, H.B. 351 was proposed and it would ban all hormonal birth control and IUD's and require women to pay for abortions to save their lives, if they were dying during pregnancy.
This was proposed by Rep. John Becker from the Cincinnati suburbs, but he says he is not a doctor. What a vile monster he is. He most have very deep seated hatred of all women.

Ohio's Governor and Legislature are owned completely by ALEC and their corporate masters.
