Why the fuck would you need to track pregnant people? Only to find and punish them when they go through an abortion huh?

now now, let's be fair
it's also so that evangelicals can ban recreational sex
They're just trying super hard to make America a worse place to live for some reason.

Precisely. They aren't even trying to hide it. The writing is on the tin.
And considering abortion isn't illegal in every state, this is even more of an overreach than if it were.
Or a misscarriage.

This is the cognitive dissonance politicians need to have in order to be a good tool as a techno fascist for the exploitation-class.

Well, you see, the logic here is simple; gun ownership is a constitutionally protected right, and women don't have rights.
I hate that you are right. I wish that we could say that the existence of the 9th counts just as much for the right to bodily autonomy but that's not what these shit heads will agree to.
And the irony is that this is coming from a woman
She their useful idiot. Find someone willing to sell out their entire group for clout. She is young enough that if republicans gain full power she will still be around when they start to talk about how women shouldn't hold office.

Let's definitely not have either of those things.
What if we just had universal health care, rather than a massive suveillancr state
Nah. I'm ok with the gun database. We have one for cars. Firearms should be there too.
Yes, but let's do the gun one also.
CA has one. And they've already leaked the data to hackers, I think twice now. So if some tech savvy thieves wanted to target specific houses, now they have a list.

I worked for a gyne who did abortions and got the pathology reports. Every one said the same thing "the specimen contained spongy pieces of hemorrhagic tissue". It's so microscopic and it's absolutely not like what anti choice assholes claim it is. It is so insignificant.
Have the abortion. Don't hesitate. Get on with your life. It's what matters, not a piece of tissue. It's your choice and nobody else's. You deserve to be happy and safe and not forced to go through hell.
FWIW I'm Christian and still incredibly pro choice. Don't believe any of their propaganda. They lie.

Give the fetuses guns? With that work?
If it was possible Texas would have made it mandatory by now

Why do they even need a database of pregnant women? I get that GOP is trying to take away a womanβs autonomy and all that, but whatβs the official public reason theyβre giving?
Prego but no live baby ? Jail!
Still birth? Jail!
Miscarriage? Jail!
Crossing state lines while prego? Jail! (You might be trying to get an abortion)
I also want to know their reasoning too, but what I REALLY want to know is if they are aware that pregnancy isn't permanent? The more I think about this the more questions I have.
Who is gonna update that database? How many tax dollars are they willing to spend paying people to deal with implementing this? I know the purpose is to convict women for abortions and miscarriages, which is fucking horrific...but then I think about how people keep cars for far longer than a person is pregnant and how the DMV is not the model for efficiency.
Holy shit this whole thing is equal parts horrifying and laughably stupid.
Sorry about my weird tangent... your question got my brain asking questions and I don't think the actual answers will be much help.
"why has this woman been pregnant for 27 years? ... HOW has this woman been pregnant for 27 years?!"

Per this, she didn't attempt to create a database and it's a false statement going around.

The NSA already has the database and is tracking both of those anyway under secret FISA warrants.
The fact that you think they get warrants to collect data into that database is cute.
They probably have like one warrant that's basically just a blank check to spy on anyone.

Better watch out for the IRS, SSA and not to mention all those state DMVs. They know what you make and what car you drive!!!!111oneone
I don't recall the "NSA plan to track women's periods" in the Snowden dump. And so many gun sales are cash-and-carry that it's not something they can manage easily.
For any given person, I'm sure the FBI could figure it out with time and effort. But there's no national tracking database for all guns and pregnancies

Well, every birth inevitably leads to a death, whilst guns might but they're not guaranteed to.
So obviously, you need to keep track of the most deadly kind of people, pregnant women, more so than a not quite as deadly kind like gun owners.
True, the case can be made than a single gun can result in multiple deaths whilst a birth will only ever result in a single death, but none the less the statistics don't lie and they show that a lot more deaths can be traced back to a birth than they can to gun ownership.
I once watched a woman walk into a supermarket just openly being pregnant. Fortunately she behaved, because some of the other folks were concealed pregnant.

You can't expect decency from trash. Trash like this will always ignore how trashy they are. If there were a way to compel them to tell the truth I bet there isn't a single real maga in the country who really believes in their god.
I'm not sure about that. In my experience, it's how they justify everything. The ones I've known personally seem to genuinely believe their god wants them to inflict pain on others as part of some sort of divine warfare. They also tend to prefer the old testament, unsurprisingly
Now the question remains.
Would they be in favour or against using guns to perform an abortion?

A Database that stores a List of Armed and Dangerous Pregnant women. All Pregnant women are given high-power Full-Auto weapon-of-choice and a License to Stand-their-Ground. Also another Database of Not Pregnant persons and who are also Armed and Dangerous but they can go buy their own weapons.
That way it is fair and equal to everybody and no one has to feel left out :-D
I wonder what's next, conceal carry permits for pregnant women to go out in public?
