I thought we could take the time to make one thread for all of the stupid and heartless shit we see out of the GOP on a day to basis at the state and local levels around the country. I’ll start with this one.
The Republican governor had expressed reservations about the bill, which only allows the procedure to save the life of the mother and does not provide exceptions for those impregnated in an act of rape or incest.
This is absolute insanity. So, if your 16 year old daughter is raped by a family member and impregnated she can not legally get an abortion in Arkansas. What possesses these idiots to take such measures is simply their rabid base of supporters whom intermix politics with religion. It will only accelerate with the Trump phenomenon wiping out institutional Republicans and force feeds their base with the idiots.
This will be struck down or at least curbed, but still this is crazy. Motherfuckers are talking about DR. Seuss self-censoring while women in Arkansas have effectively lost all rights to privacy.
