    The morons of the Trump administration who thought they could police women's morality and increase birthrates by removing abortion as an option really just ended up owning themselves over the demise of Roe vs. Wade.

    What they ensured is that there will be less children in general because they never think that people will take their own measures when living under such stupidity.

    Our birthrates were already too low, then they decided to remove Mexicans, who actually do have children, and now they owned themselves as white birthrates continue to plummet.

    They basically have ensured women, especially those who can't really afford to have children, who have access to contraceptives and/or sterilization will use it to ensure that these morons ARE replaced.

    Meanwhile the "libs" like me who work a good job and have 4 kids, all of who are now adults, voted for the non-Nazi party and will continue to flourish.

    Since Trump is Handmaid’s Tale maybe this will be required for all liberal women.

    Birth rates are well understood. Age structure diagrams are consistent. Mature economies, especially those with some semblance of freedom, hammer birth rates.

    The “answer” to this “problem” is less freedom (check) and dire economic circumstances (in progress)

    I understand you guys don't like the President or republicans but this dumb woman got herself sterilized and tried to use it as a political weapon.

    If any real person you knew did that you'd think they were an idiot.

    My fave fad was when Repubs quit believing in science and refused to get Covid Vax. That was Darwinism at its best...

    “If you know people who are questioning how serious this is, I’m going to repeat myself: A sitting government official opted for voluntary sterilization because she was uncertain she would be able to access contraception in the future,” she told the outlet.​

    Evidence she’s not very intelligent and/or willing to engage in performative politics.

    It's still happening and it's become even more absurd. A local health department in Idaho is refusing to provide the Covid vax to nursing homes and long term care facilities, institutions in which a significant number of residents are elderly and may have other comorbidities.

    It’s all a show now. All people want is drama and a storyline. No one cares about policies that help Americans out. We are probably 30 seconds from the democrats realizing you fight stupidity not with reason, but instead, more stupidity.

    Because people shouldn't have to consider 50 different states' laws if they want to take a job in another place or have to move to take care of an ailing parent.

    This is why we have a central government.

    The same reason we collect income taxes and distribute them to those same red states who are takers, who then tell blue states that disaster relief money they largely created has strings attached, but never strings for red states.

    It is very clear that the same people who support these stupid ideas and unwitting pawns of adversarial nations and powers trying to weaken our Nation in a world it can't afford to be weak in.

    Faux News and Twitter provide the oligarchical propaganda for consumption by Christian nationalists, crackpots, and morons who are the ones we have to thank for this sad state of affairs.

    Every person at work I knew who died was one of these folks - 3 total.

    It was the most insane self-own I have ever witnessed - voted for Trump, believed his bullshit, and probably realized as they were breathing their last breaths as they were dying of COVID they had made some bad choices.

    Of course I grew another arm out of my back after taking the vaccines, but now I can reach those really hard to reach places, so the tradeoff was definitely worth it!

    It looks more likely like political theater than anything else. Apparently she and her husband had already made the decision not to have children and she had been considering the surgery for a while. She decided to make the announcement that she was having the surgery which she most likely would have had anyway possibly later to make a political statement. She didn't actually have the surgery solely or even primarily because Trump had been reelected.
    Threats follow lawmaker who said she had surgery to remove reproductive organs
