“health care for women should also address the needs of men, families, and communities.” ??? This is outrageous! They want to turn women into baby machines! God forbid how many women are going to needlessly die during Trump’s reign. It is sickening.

As disgusting as it is, it does not surprise me that some MAGAt representative from some benighted state would file a bill like that. I think Hillary had it right when she used the word "deplorables". Prescient, that.

No, absolutely no surprises. I just find it stunning that they can simply make or break legislation on a whim - of course owning the Supreme Court helps.

She had that election stolen. Vlad just had to wait 4 years to steal another one.

So much so Texas stopped tracking mortality of pregnant women. Convenient, isn't it?

That one sentence will cost women their lives. They want to disenfranchise women and “others” on the first day.

Surely MAGA women do not want to be saddled with kids??

I've not yet found a woman who can explain to me why any female would vote for T****. I doubt I ever will.

I can’t explain it, as I am a white woman with a background that might make people believe I’d vote for Trump. I have always voted for the Democratic candidate, and when I saw Trump coming down the escalator after being surrounded by paid actors cheering him, I really started to detest him then. I was aware of his various scams and schemes long before his candidacy, and I don’t live in New York.

He was the poor man’s rich man, the weak man’s strong man, and the dumb man’s smart man. I’ll add the phony Christian man’s Jesus. But most of all, he spoke to the hate that “all men are created equal” stirred in the hearts of those who feared the loss of a crumb.

James, those that I know spout off the latest nonsensical Fox talking point, or abortion, or men in girl’s bathrooms. It’s nuts.

Husband rules, more common than one would think. Then there are the Mama Gorsuch’s. Died in the wool.

Brandy Agun, makes me fume too. Seems just what the Puritans believed, who burned women at the stake. I would like to ask him if men's healthcare should address the needs of women, families, and communities? Because by "address the needs", he really means, fulfill the need of men like him to control women.

They want white women to birth more babies to maintain demographic dominance. That is a bugaboo that Muskrat shares. Reportedly, he has used IVF, and had 5 children with his first wife Justine, and 7 with various other women. He is reportedly not very present in his children’s lives.

The only child present is the one he's almost always carrying on his shoulders at a lot of public events. I believe he's using a human shield in the form of a toddler.

Not only did Musk use IVF, he used it to cull the eggs and get all boys, or nearly all boys, only when he had five in a row did he allow a girl through.

Does he not realize if you keep making all boys there will be no women for eggs for more babies?

“Take a gander at this Project 2025 gem on male condoms.

Eliminate men’s preventive services from the women’s preventive services mandate. In December 2021, HRSA updated its women’s preventive services guidelines to include male condoms after claiming for years that it had no authority to do so because Congress explicitly limited the mandate to “women’s” preventive care and screenings. HRSA should not incorporate exclusively male contraceptive methods into guidelines that specify they encompass only women’s services.”

Project 2025, page 485

Right. Everything should go back to the states except a federal abortion ban.
