10 years ago, this would be an Onion headline.
To think they found a position that is morally reprehensible from every possible angle, under all interpretations, and also involves bodily fluids, that’s somehow amazing.
This is seriously fucking weird. “how often have you had blood exit your genitals this month, you filthy female” is not a question that anyone should be asking, especially the government. These freaks couldn’t even point out anatomical features on a picture of a reproductive system (male or female, but especially female). Like bitch, of you can correctly label and describe the function of all the parts of a woman’s sexual anatomy, them maybe you could have some input on the conversation, but even then you still shouldn’t be making other people’s decisions. Go fund some bridge repairs you vile little troglodites. JFC.
Two things:
- That guy looks like he’s intimately familiar with video cameras and 1-way mirrors
- I wonder if that one southern Senator fond of underage girls has already volunteered to lead the program?
Miller replied, “Well, he’s made it very clear that he’s not gonna go and weigh in and try to push various states in how they want to go and set up their particular rules and restrictions. That’s gonna be up to the states.”
Just in case it wasn’t clear, they belive that any level of tyranny is fine as long as it’s state government doing it, not the federal government.
Only because they are less likely to control the federal government.
In the past they demanded free states enforce the fugitive slave act, and sent people into free states to kidnap free men into slavery.
This article is clickbait garbage. What they said is SO MUCH WORSE, but calling it “Menstrual Surveillance” is fucking stupid. While menstruation and pregnancy are obviously related, they’re not the same thing.
What they actually said is that they want to have states he able to monitor pregnancies so they can know if a woman becomes pregnant, but then suddenly isn’t anymore, so they can question them for an abortion, either illegally in state or out-of-state. Given they’re also pushing to monitor menstrual cycles alongside pregnancies, it’s full on police state shit that goes even further than what is described.
Clear. Concise. Factual. That’s all you need. The right already gives you what you need to show how fucked up they are. You don’t have to clickbait. It’s dystopian enough on its own.
Genuinely wondering: you say they are “pushing to monitor menstrual cycles alongside pregnancy.” How is that not menstrual surveillance? I haven’t dug into this myself but I’m confused by your comment and trying to understand better.
They’re pushing for that, but it isn’t what this person was taking about that they quoted. Nowhere in the article does any direct quote say that.
We know that’s the path they’re going to take by their actions, but they’re extrapolating in an article quoting something else.
Having lived in the south, nothing about this is remotely surprising.
100% guarantee most neighborhoods are starting networks that watch local girls to try to monitor if theyre gaining weight and then take a trip, not that they need to be recruited, they’re just idle pedophiles anyway.
Now they have something to threaten girls with for their silence…
Seems Taliban-ish to me, which is sadly ironic.
How is it ironic? The party was hijacked by the dixiecrats whose single issue was Jim Crow.
They’re talibangelists, just with a slightly different prophet.
Trump is their second coming of Jesus, because he tells them exactly what they want to hear, therefore he must be God.
Jesus Christ USA, are you alright?
No, we’re not. Please send help.
Fuck it, I’d welcome an invasion at this point provided whatever country did it super pinky promised not to do half the shit Republicans do.
I thought yall had plenty of those bootstraps you keep talking about. Couldn’t you help yourselves with those? /s
They stopped making those…it was cutting into shareholder profits.
Bootstraps ran out back in the 60’s, we’ve just been getting shoelaces
2 boot straps missed so far.
No, we are infected with lots and lots of xtian nationalist bullshit and an antiquated system that overly represents them. We need a system that allows us to ignore them since they are a minority - and let them bray as much as they like, but utterly powerless to tell anyone else how to live their lives.
It’s just the south, they’ve been trash forever, this isn’t anything new.
I haven’t opened alternet.org since probably 1999. Nice to see they’re still banging around.
So long as they can also set up a semen surveillance department to prosecute men for leaving their jizz between couch cushions and fleshlights.
I was going to disagree with you about fleshlights, but then I realized that’s how fucking asinine this whole menstrual monitoring bullshit is and it was a good analogy.
You and JD Vance sound like you could be BFFs 🤣
Pretty sure JD would HATE this! Imagine if he has to report all his couch fucking for each of his sperm tax right offs.
You know the couch-fucker jokes aren’t compliments right?
They aren’t? Oh man…
What a fucking psycho. Dude looks like he has a freezer full of chopped-up body parts at his house.
Stored as thin sample slices in binders, as tradition dictates
Binders full of women, you say?
This needs to be a political ad in every swing state
Republicans are all about the nanny state. Tracking periods, banning books, deciding who gets to have what medications/medical treatments (instead of doctors), trying to control what websites publish, etc.
Except nannies are supposed to care for children, not persecute them.
Librul!!
The “nanny” in this case is Vicki from Fairly Oddparents.
DON’T U LOVE FREEDUM?!
Government small enough to fit in your uterus.
Next they will be tracking every time a girl takes a shit or walks outside. These people are sickening.
It’s a hop, skip, and a jump away from making them cover up head to toe in public and banning them from driving or being seen outside without a man.
The extremist terrorists were with us in the house the entire time.
The DHS reported on the extreme right being the biggest domestic terrorist threat ages ago. The right freaked out, as expected, and it was quickly played down.
But the DHS was right.
The GOP is the American Taliban.
Well our yeehawdist gravy seals share another thing with other religious extremists.
Flags, trucks, needing to control women because they cannot otherwise get laid…
Legalized rape is the next likely step.
Time to Take Out the Trash
I wonder how they would go about all this. Medical records will have to be divulged to the State so it can track who is pregnant. They’ll have to outlaw home pregnancy tests, including buying them through the mail. Otherwise women could privately find out they’re pregnant and go out of state for an abortion without the State knowing. They’ll also have to monitor phone and email communications for everyone, not just the pregnant person, to make sure any attempt to contact out of state health providers is intercepted. Or maybe they’ll just slap an ankle bracelet on pregnant women.
They’ll probably also enact laws like the abortion travel ban that Amarillo, TX has on the ballot this November:
The ordinance, first proposed by anti-abortion activists, aims to forbid the use of the city’s roads and highways to seek an abortion out of the state. It would punish anyone aiding a woman seeking the procedure, including by providing funds or transportation, and be enforced through private lawsuits, similar to a 2021 state law that prohibited abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy.
