Here's how it makes sense: Republicans believe the only reason to have sex is to produce children. Therefore, if you have sex, you must do so only to produce children, and if you become pregnant, you must give birth.. If you want a child but can't get one through sex, you should just not have one, and you should also stop having sex, because what's the point? However, don't lose heart. You can still become a parent by adopting the baby they forced a raped 10-year-old to give birth to.
Yes and this policy would turn lower income women into full time baby making machines for more affluent people. You just keep breeding so we can have children to raise. This is very consistent with their overall philosophy (more like a mentality) that lower socioeconomic groups literally exist to serve them.
As a double-IVFer, I can attest that IVF is unromantic. But you know what else is unromantic? Scheduled monthly trying-to-conceive sex that makes you loathe yourself, your body, and sex itself. I'm working on getting my memoir published, and in it, I talk about how IVF is SO much more connecting than trying to conceive, which was by far the worst part of the baby-making process.
Hey Liz, visitor from NZ here. Love your work. My observation from down here is that this blocking of ivf is to limit “non-straight “ couples from reproducing. Since they have lost the ground on marriage equality this is the next ideological battle ground?
The Republicans and Christian Extremists would rather force incestuously raped children to give birth than allow consenting responsible adults to conceive!!
It's so enraging it makes me feel "stabby" 🔪🔪🔪🔪 LOL
You know what freaks me out lately—watching the unctuous House Speaker toadying up to the “birthday boy” and all I can think is that he’d like to . . . (then have to report his impure thoughts to his son).
make it make sense

that’s very astute and certainly part of it!

stabby is the right word!!
Oh well a lot of us Christians aren't conservative Republicans. Their positions across the board don't make sense anymore if they ever did.
You're right, I should have qualified Christian Extremists, my apologies, and I will edit!
Great take on this Liz. Plus the book rec. Have you read Eve by Cat Bohannon. If not, please!!!
oh adding to my list!!

That's a great picture of you Liz Plank
