    Inb4 inclusion in this database will be required for anyone using Medicaid or other government assistance. You know … for totally legitimate medicine reasons.

      You can call it useless grandstanding but bills get re-introduced in later sessions all the time. If Trump wins, this sort of thing could become law

      Maybe if pregnant women were in the constitution, your argument would make sense, but they’re not!

      See, you’ve got your:

      - First Amendment: The right to tell you to shut the fuck up

      - Second Amendment: The right to shoot you the fuck up

      - Third Amendment: Combination of the first and second—shut the fuck up or get shot the fuck up

      This has been another episode of “People must actually believe this shit.” Thank you for your time and remember what totally real, lifetime-appointed supreme court judge Brett Cavendishbananana patriotically once said:

      “😭I like beer”

    It would also, most concerningly, create an online government database called “pregnancy.gov.”

    This website would have people with unwanted pregnancies provide their name, zip code, and contact information and direct them to anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers near them. (CPCs are facilities that rarely provide actual health care and exist solely to convince someone seeking an abortion to remain pregnant, or delay them from getting an abortion as long as possible—all while luring abortion seekers onto their premises by pretending to offer abortions.) As Axios notes, the site would not allow resources for abortion clinics and it would also award grants to anti-abortion nonprofits.

    Jesus fucking Christ, do they really not recognize how horrifyingly fascist this is?
