KY Senate Prez: 'To Conceive Or Not' Is A Woman's Only Choice

Justifying his support for a 20-week ban on abortions, the Republican president of the Kentucky Senate asserted that women had the "choice" of whether to conceive a child and "the legislature has its ability to determine" the course of a pregnancy after that.

According to a report from the Lexington Herald Leader, Senate President Robert Stivers (R) said Tuesday afternoon that he would have preferred a ban on abortions even earlier than 20 weeks.

Welcome through the looking glass ladies. We're going back to the early 20th century. These forced birthers will probably come after birth control next. And the damned sickening thing about it, once the children are born, they care nothing about feeding them, giving them healthcare, or taking care of them to enable their mothers to work and support them. It's ALL about how they can control us.

hey, asshole, how do we women have a "choice" NOT to conceive, when you attack every form of birth control, sex education, and contraception there is? FU, and all the woman-haters out there.

That means the legislature will be passing all kinds of "well baby" legislation, providing lots of funding for expectant mothers to be sure they're getting first-rate medical care, nutrition, and housing, right? Following through after that with funding for programs to allow parents to stay home and raise the kidlings, pay for child care, feed, clothe and house the little ones, make sure they have top-of-the-line first class public schools, and free job training or college to assure them the best possible future. Because anything less would just be a cruel, immoral charade.

Right?

Bastards. I think we should strap bowling balls onto their abdomens for none months. Tell them they have to pee every 2 hours, then push the bowling ball up the ass to get an idea of how delivery feels. Or having your abdomen sliced open for a C-section.

- Donald J. Trump on abortion.




I haven't done this for a while so HERE'S A NICE SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE SO-CALLED-FUCKING-PROGRESSIVES AND JPR TYPES THAT REFUSED TO VOTE FOR HILLARY BECAUSE IT WAS ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FEEEEEEELINGS.

WOMEN WILL DIE NOW. UNWANTED BABIES WILL SUFFER NOW. WOMEN WILL HAVE THEIR FULL HUMAN POTENTIAL CUT OFF AT THE KNEES BECAUSE "EMAILS" AND "CORPORATE" AND "NEO-LIBERAL" ARE SUCH MEANINGFUL BUZZWORDS RIGHT?

If you withheld a vote for the only candidate who could beat Trump, you hold a share in his election.

I HOPE THE SHAME OF YOUR VOTE HAUNTS YOU TO THE GRAVE.

I'm too old to have children, but what their protest votes did to the women of child bearing age, and all women's health issues, is a shame. But hey, they have the right to vote however they choose, right? And then deny the consequences for everyone else.
