TW: …Their Project 2025 is going to have a registry of pregnancies. It’s going to make it more difficult, if not impossible to get contraception and limit access, if not eliminate access to infertility treatments. For so many of you out there listening, me included, infertility treatments are why I have a child. That’s nobody else’s business. But those things are being proposed, and the catchall on this is, is, well, the states will decide what’s right for Texas might not be right for Washington. That’s not how this works. This is basic human right. …
NO: Senator, do you want to respond to the governor’s claim? Will you create a federal pregnancy monitoring agency?
(Astute readers may notice that Walz did not state nor imply that a ‘federal pregnancy monitoring agency’ was proposed by Trump/Vance/P2025 and that the entire problem is that they are calling for states to be able to do this)
JDV: No, Norah, certainly we won’t. … Now, of course, Donald Trump has been very clear that on the abortion policy specifically, that we have a big country and it’s diverse. And California has a different viewpoint on this than Georgia. Georgia has a different viewpoint from Arizona. And the proper way to handle this, as messy as democracy sometimes is, is to let voters make these decisions, let the individual states make their abortion policy. And I think that’s what makes the most sense in a very big, a very diverse, and let’s be honest, sometimes a very, very messy and divided country.
Mhm, states rights argument for implementing remote ovulation observation, I mean I guess at least this is a consistent, defined, and coherent position, as opposed to concepts of a plan.
“Under his eye.”
Under his eye
The problem at this point is not that there are nutjob politicians saying all these things
The problem is a nut job citizenry that just stands around and accepts all of this. The more sensational, outlandish and extreme things you allow into the public eye … the more extreme it will all become.
And from the looks of it … America doesn’t seem to mind heading in these extreme directions.
Gross
That’s just Alex Jones in a disguise.
Fuck it, why not. Nothing he says or does matters. People support him and his nonsense no matter what. He’ll never experience a single consequence. He’s in competition to win the election with this ridiculous shit, and it’s pretty far down the list of ridiculous shit.
