    I’m not a MAGA person by any means but he sounds pretty coherent to me. They’re going to leave it to the states.

    Some states will have civil rights, while others will have unnecessary cruelty. Just like Jesus would have wanted.

      Doesn’t seem to me like the fascists will be content at leaving it like that.

      The reality is that the plan is to appoint somebody to head the DOJ who will both enforce the Comstock act, and classify birth control as “abortion causing materials.”

      The Comstock act makes it illegal to “mail” abortion causing materials, which could be interrupted to include medical supplies used in abortions, birth control, the Plan B pill, possibly even other medications that have the mere potential to cause miscarriage. This would make it nearly impossible to perform abortions or access birth control in states where they are still legal, all while still technically adhering to the holy “state’s rights” scripture.
