Banning Abortion Was NEVER About Protecting the Unborn or the Mother

The latest leak to Politico of how SCOTUS may be thinking was a shocker... They are seriously thinking about ending Roe v Wade. 

Texas, and many southern states have been waging their war on abortion by passing increasingly stricter controls on who can provide such procedures, and the amount of paperwork and time delay the woman must go through to get one. 

Multiple states have previously attempted to either try to give the father a right to veto the abortion or require the father to be notified. Both were struck down by previous SCOTUS, but if RvW was overturned, one can expect such prior decisions to be moot. 

And just to point out the inequities, a father is NOT allowed a "financial abortion", since he never wanted kids, and his partner got pregnant anyway (sometimes, through extraordinary measures, such as stealing a spent condom...). The court ruled that a child's need for support supersedes the father's interests. 

But what they don't realize, or care about, is the law of unintended circumstances. 

What do you think the father would do if the pregnant woman was FORCED by the government and circumstances to carry the child to term, and he cannot opt-out of that responsibility? 

Do you really think he'll just turn into a productive citizen for the sake of the child? 

Some may, but some will seek a different solution. 

This answer will be extremely disturbing, but also terribly obvious. 

The answer is... murder. 

Between 2018 and 2019, HOMICIDE is the LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH for pregnant women (and newborn mothers) by "more than twofold" over the other leading causes of maternal mortality.

 

Think about that. 

A woman, merely by being pregnant, is MORE likely to die by homicide, compared to the non-pregnant population of the same age and race. 

Think about that. 

Further tightening the ban on abortion will only make this worse. 

We are already in the age of COVID and Qanon. Qanon fodders have killed their wives just because they read somewhere that their wives are contaminated with lizard DNA or some such nonsense. Add stress of COVID to that, THEN add the idea of an UNWANTED family, what do you think would happen? 

In an alleged attempt to save one life, the anti-abortion laws are killing two, three if you count the (don't-wanna-be) father. 

It's not about saving lives. 

It's about control. 

It was always about control. 

Sad COVIDiocy: Antivax Mom of Three, vowing to live without fear, died of COVID at 29

Bridget Jackson is a mother of three in Port Huron, Michigan, and both anti-mask and anti-vaccine. She claimed in one post that she "understands the risks" but does not "prioritize fear over life", and "your fear (because you wear masks) is your issue". She had shared many different posts about God did not make you to be afraid of COVID. 

Jackson came down with COVID in November, and passed away on December 21st, 2021, at the age of 29, leaving behind a fiancee and three children under age of 10. 

Like many antivaxxers, Ms. Jackson made the mistake of confusing respect and taking precautions with being afraid. 

I respect the potential harm of COVID, so I took every reasonable precaution such as buying N95 masks and wearing them when I go out, getting both of my Pfizer shots plus the booster shot, and I limit my outdoor excursions. Am I afraid of COVID? No. 

The people who vow to "live free" whether from fear or from mandate, are prioritizing some ideals ABOVE their survival. 

And Ms. Jackson found that COVID will take her anyway. 

Please don't be Ms. Jackson. Get vaxxed. Stick around and enjoy your life. 

God did not create us for us to throw away our lives on a dare. 

Sad COVIOdiocy: Antivax Nurse who Told Family Not to Vaccinate Has Died from COVID

An Idaho registered nurse with special-needs twins has died from COVID. Normally this is just sad news, but this is extra sad because she actually told her own family NOT to vaccinate, while her own mother was in the hospital in a coma from COVID. 

Idaho was a hotbed for antivax misinformation, so much so only 40.8% of residents are fully vaccinated in Idaho, compared to 54.7% in the whole US. 

And Natalie Rise fell for the misinformation so hard, she actually told her family that there were no studies done on the vaccine, even though the vaccine went through trials on thousands of people, and then was administered to millions of people with minimal side effects. Apparently, her own professional education cannot defeat misinformation. 

Her family members have no doubt that she was killed by those bloggers and Youtubers peddling misinformation. 

And it is these unvaxxed Idahoans that are clogging up hospitals and ICUs in Idaho, that Idaho has started rationing care to only the most essential and those that can be saved. 

In fact, Rise was transferred to nearby Spokane, Washington for ICU treatment, and died there. And the flood of the Idaho COVID cases is filling up ICUs in nearby Spokane, Washington as well. One hospital director said that they normally accept 90% of transfers, but in the past two weeks, they have to turn away HALF of requested transfers. They are trying to expand ICU, but they fear they will be forced to ration care soon like Idaho. 

Her brother Daryl got the shot the day after she died. He had to quit his job to take care of the twins she left behind. 

Sad COVIDiocy: Proud unvaxxed and unmasked Mother of 4 died of COVID

An Escalon (southeast of Stockton, CA) mother, a well-known local antivaxxer, had died of COVID on September 15th, 2021. 

Kristen Lowery, who declared herself "unmasked, unmuzzled, unvaccinated, unafraid -- together we win", left behind 4 school-aged children. 

She proclaimed to be a "free-thinker" and an "ex-vaxxer" on various posts. 

If you won't get vaxxed for yourself, would you do it for your children? 

Don't be a COVIDiot. Get vaxxed is the simplest way to protect yourself.
