It's fascinating to see what happens when Big Baby (and their evil minions, GOP politicians) push this hard and ferociously against the natural law. Everyone and their sister intuitively groks that it is the gravest of sins to force a woman to bear a child against her will. Goddess will not be mocked.
video clip showing AZ Republican senators on the senate floor 'praying' the night before their supreme court ruled on the 1864 law. These people have mental problems (or compelled to act like this) and should not be anywhere near policy making for the world at large. Vote them out!
And apparently the one leading them was a Jan 6er and fake elector. You know what this reminds me of? This abortion boondoggle has a Russian angle. Many R congress critters are on Russia's payroll, I would guess and MTG, anyone? How did a little known, from nowhere first time congresswoman gain that kind of prominence and got so close to trump and why? See what the expert on fascism says:

Given what we know of Russian intentions and European investigations, the presumption has to be that some US legislators are on the Russian payroll. Nice analysis here.
Exactly, Jessica!!! Republicans do not value women. I’m a signature collector to get Abortion Access onto the November ballot. Yesterday, 4 days after AZ Supreme Court passed the ban, people were signing the petition in droves, actively looking for locations to sign and they are pissed.
This will not stand! At least, I will not stand for it. Writing and protesting are important, but we need to do more. Hit them, whoever they are, where it hurts - their wallets. Can we cut off the money that supports these crazy states and politicians? Can we publicly shame the companies that are donating to republican PACs and candidates? Anyone have any suggestions?
What you wrote about taking away women's humanity gave me chills. That's exactly THE purpose of this cruel legislation we're seeing from states.
The C-section requirement puts women at much more health risk than just an abortion to remove the non-viable fetus.
I would like to see more about this particular issue being used. With hard facts. For example: (I don't have accurate figures, this is formulated from things I've read)
1) 14x more likely to die from C-section than an abortion
2) 6-12 WEEK recovery from C-section, vs 2-3 days for recovery from an abortion
3) Cost of C-section $7,523 to $25,211; cost of abortion $600-$800 (I googled for these costs)
And the women who are forced to have a C-section have to pay for it, of course. Maximum punishment in every way with these legislators. I have a $7,500 deductible that I'd have to come up with after being forced to have unnecessary and unwanted surgery. And there could be loss of pay for being out of work while recovering.
So, these laws can drastically affect a woman's financial health, on top of her physical, mental and emotional health.
Jessica, I cannot wait for your book to come out. I adore your writing and the way you get your point across by stabbing these idiots with words and not with sharp objects.
I understand misogyny, and if males had vaginas we wouldn’t be here now.
Yes this is so right on!!!!! How can we get every democrat to READ THIS NOW!?!?!?!?!
And I’m envisioning a humor/rage video educating folks how to not jab their pens too hard through their ballots - out of rage voting - when they vote. Like be sure to meditate and breathe, carry some lavender oil with you so you can peacefully FILL THAT SAVE REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS BOX!!! VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!!!
Can you confirm that women in every state can still order abortion pills by mail. I will search on my own, but I sometimes find conflicting information and I know you know. All of us who write about abortion should mention this every single time.
Trump and Kari Lake are only criticizing the law, saying it has gone too far, because it happened in a swing state where they are worried about losing Republican voters or Independent voters who believe in a woman's right to control her own body. I put a chart in my substack that lists the other 14 states with total bans who voted for him in 2020. He hasn't said jack shit about the women in those states who are suffering. https://talkaboutchoice.substack.com/p/wtf-florida-no-wait-i-mean-arizona
It’s interesting to see so many of them put out statements claiming this went too far but I bet if anyone in the press asked for specifics — too far, in what way? — the answers back would be damning.
There’s nothing in this law that isn’t actively being pushed in other states — as AED clearly pointedly says this law just gives away the game.
They hate the branding. They hate the optics. They are fine with the results.

Spot-on. Do you have a Facebook page to post this? I would love to share, as certain people are only on FB, and they need to read this!

Excellent points and it’s clear when they claim women AND doctors murder babies up to and after birth.
Arizona’s 1864 Abortion Ban: Meet the Author and His Disciples

Excellent, well-written post. I agree with you on emphasizing the republican misogyny.
Need to be working in a swing state to get people out to the polls and bringing popcorn.
You nailed it again, Jessica!
